Comments on: Would You Quit a Job Over $1? http://jasonpedley.com/blog/2008/07/23/would-you-quit-a-job-over-1/ The Free Advice and Information Column of Freelance Copywriter and Marketing Strategist Jason Pedley Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:09:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Pamela Weir http://jasonpedley.com/blog/2008/07/23/would-you-quit-a-job-over-1/#comment-979 Pamela Weir Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:07:43 +0000 http://jasonpedley.com/blog/?p=172#comment-979 I quit my last position over $0.50 an hour. I was informed that the generous raises that they used to give were being reassessed, and they made a last minute decision to be more "conservative" for the new year. I felt like Clark Griswold getting his membership to the Jello of the Month Club. Actually, that was the straw that broke the camel's back. There were many other negative factors, but the lack of recognition for extra time and effort was too much. The moment I received the "great news" about my raise, I made the decision to create my own company and take control of my own earnings. I was tired of being valued based on their view of how compensation levels should reflect the org chart template they downloaded from the internet. I quit my last position over $0.50 an hour.
