Acquired! Day 179
What we have here, is a despicable situation. I was offered a new job, but my boss is preventing me from taking it. This new job would raise my base pay by $30,000 per year. I tried going over my boss’ head, but even the CEO is saying “no internal transfers for the rest of [...]

Acquired! Days 4-6
