I have said this many times in this thread but I really mean it more each time as it has really helped me reach my decision. THANK YOU ALL!! Especially considering everybody sent actual helpful and mature insight.


I submitted my 2 week notice. This past Monday morning, I wrote my notice. I felt like my ground level title didn't represent my higher level management responsibilities at all. And the rate things are going here and with the disappointing counter offers they gave me, this situation would just continue.

I didn't submit it till Wednesday as I kept going back on forth on whether or not my decision was right. Wednesday morning I left it on my boss's desk before he came in. As soon as he arrived, he read the letter, pulled me for a meeting, and threw me all the counter offers. He essentially told me I can give up the responsibilities that I was never paid for that I have continued to do, and only do what I'm paid to do. Then he said that they really needed me and this would pose a problem for them going forward if I was to leave.. He also threw me a new title, a raise, etc. I told him I would think about it and now he has HR working on another package to offer me.

The hardest part was breaking it to my team and my close friends here. Not sure how many times I cried and others cried in front of me... that didn't make things easy at all. It's really showing me that the people around me kept me here, not the people above. Thankfully they all had my back.

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN SO MUCH. I know I said a lot of cheesy and mushy and slightly depressing crap here, but you all read through it and actually helped me organize my thoughts and make a plan. If ever there is an s2ki meet on the east coast, beers and dinners for you all on me
