My former colleague, last year, submitted his resignation.


The boss called him into the office. The door was closed for forty minutes.
When he came out, his eyes were red. We all thought he had been scolded.
Later, he told me it wasn't. The boss talked to him for forty minutes.
From the company's vision, to industry prospects, to his personal growth path, to his value to the team.
Every sentence was saying: If you leave, the company will be very sad.
After listening, he said one sentence. The boss was silent.
He said: I looked at my payslip last month. After tax, six thousand four hundred.
I calculated that the value I create for the company each month is many times my salary.
But none of these multiples, a single cent, ends up in my hands.
So, the company's sadness isn't because I'm gone.
It's because they lost six thousand four hundred.
This loss, the company can bear.
I don't want to bear it anymore.
He left. The boss sat in the office all afternoon.
Then made a call to the finance department.
Raised the company's minimum wage to eight thousand.
He also called his name. The finance person asked why.
He said, Six thousand four hundred can't keep people.
Later, he did very well at his new company.
Last month, he treated me to dinner.
I asked him if he regrets.
He said, Look. He turned his phone around.
It's the recruitment page of his former company.
Salary: eight thousand to twelve thousand.
He scrolled down.
At the bottom, a small line:
This position was created due to someone's departure.
