Employee: I am resigning and giving my two week notice.
Boss: Why? What happened?
Employee: Four months ago you promised me a promotion and it still has not happened. As well, I was offered a significant raise and a better opportunity.
Boss: I need you here. We will match your new salary immediately and if you stay will be promoted.
Employee: Sorry, itโs too late. You should have kept your promise. If you did I wouldnโt be leaving.
Moral of the story:
Promises in the workplace are more than just words; they're a measure of your respect and commitment to your team. When these are broken, it erodes trust, motivation, and loyalty. Instead of waiting for a resignation letter to honor your promises, make them a priority from the start.
