Negotiating a raise is a delicate subject, isn't it? Almost everyone has experienced how tense the atmosphere gets when you initiate a conversation about your salary with your boss. Of course, some corporations genuinely care about their workers' motivation and happiness, yet there still are quite a few that choose to ignore their employees' needs.
Several days ago, Redditor Wageslave823 made a post about how their request for a higher salary was quickly denied. The CEO said the company simply "can’t afford it" but at the same time, he showed no intention of making sacrifices himself to help out the struggling business.
Apparently, this situation seems to be common since the thread received a deluge of comments where many people shared similar experiences. We have selected the most illuminating responses that prove some bosses are way out-of-touch and believe their luxurious life choices are more valuable than their employees. Read on to see what we mean.
