CEO Laughs off Worker's Request for Raise and Tells Them To Find Another Job, They Do and Find Their Whole Department New Jobs Too

On this earth, it often seems like things happen for no reason, just a roving mess of random occurrences, happenstance tragedies, and chance meetings that have little to no meaning. Regardless of all the things that are happening out of our control, occasionally, with enough influence and intention, we can become the authors of our destinies and shape the path that lies before us. 

Ironically, that's exactly what this CEO was doing when they jokingly responded to a frustrated worker's question regarding how the company planned to manage talent retention after the VP of their department had just denied the worker a raise. 

"How do you plan to retain talent when there are other companies offering 2x the money with half of the workload?" the poster writes that they had asked the CEO in an anonymous forum. The CEO, laughing, read their question out loud to the company. "If you find that 'job' (with finger quotes as if it wasn't real), you better take it, goodbye!"

Alright. You don't have to tell me twice. The worker must have thought to themselves as they began orchestrating a revenge plot that would cripple their entire department, sending $100M worth of deals to a screeching halt.
