I wont be able to expand on what I am about to say but I think that you will get the gist of it all:
I highly recommend handing in your resignation in a way of securing the raise that you have been asking for over the past 4 years. It seems life is game of Poker but be careful, you have to mean what you say and if you don’t have a backup plan it could very rapidly turn into a deadly game of Russian Roulette with an unfortunate outcome.
Right now it’s Poker for me and I hold all the cards. I have even snuck a joker or two up my sleeve just to spice it up a wee bit.
(That’s not a sleeve!)
(That’s more like it!)
Sounds to me like you are about to let money rule your decision making
MK - I can see how you could see it like that but let me assure you, nothing has ruled my decision. My word stands. I leave. I was merely suggesting to people out there that resigning has power but I don’t play those games. The cards up my sleeve are options that I have made available to the powers that be as a form of amicable negotiation that can benefit all parties.
Is that clearer? Hahaha
