how do you know that other person received that compensation?
Let me ask a hypothetical question.
If you worked with someone, did the same job, maybe even brought more to the table than he or she did, but basically produced the same results. The other person decided they were going to quit. Management then went out of their way to give this other person special concesions that they didnt offer you to convince them to stay. Concessions like a new le, the benefit of working from home 2 to 3 days a week, more leeway in chosing their assignments, rumored more pay (not confirmed). Would you feel happy for that person, or resentful? At first I was happy for them. The more I think about it, the more resentful I get. Why are they getting all of these special considerations, when we do the same work. Am i being a , or do I have a legitimate gripe?
I told myself I wasnt going to be a about it, but the more I think about it, and the more I am confronted with it, the more it pisses me off.

It was made public as to the reason she is staying on here, and not quitting at the end of the week. My boss told me.
What pisses me off the most is that we do the same thing and I am expected to produce the same work, yet I have to deal with being in the office, having to manage more than one project at a time, the interuptions etc. While she gets to work from home, pick and choose what she does, and doesnt do, etc...
so its a she.
since your boss told you........why don't you ask him/her if he/she thinks thats fair?
Well, I most likely will, but I wanted outside opinions if it was a gripe worth speaking up over, or was I just being a bitter ...
I dont want to be that guy...ya know? So it may be better to just keep it to myself and get over it...
don't be a about it.....just give your boss something to chew on. see what happens.
So you would bring it up, if you were in my position?
Is there some special reason they did this- like is she caring for a sick parent or something?
I guess they thought she was valuable enough not to lose.
Chances are you aren't the only one resentful over it. Ask him about it, but be tactful in your approach.
Too risky. We don't live in a day an age where you can question authority and get away with it because you're valued so highly. That woman most likely knew the end result of announcing her departure. Appears calculated.
I think you have every right to be pissed so its only comes to down to how much you value the job. Not how much they value you.
but you need to be prepared to show that you bring just as much to the table if not more than she did.
can you show that?
She lives in Austin and works here. The reason she was quitting is because she had a job offer in Austin. They made the concessions so she would stay here. So part of me is happy for her, its easier on her, and she is a nice person...but part of me says, "WTF, why is it our problem she chose to get a job in another city..."
Think Im just being a ..and yea, I know other people are resentful...we have a couple in our group that hate everyone, so Im sure they are fuming about it.
I have more education and experience doing the job, but she has been here a little over a year, I have been here three months...part of the reason I am trying to convince myself to keep my mouth shut...I dont have the tangible results at this place like she does.
And yes B2B I completely agree with you. She made the propsal to them to get the special considerations a week or two before she announced she was quitting and they ignored it.
You may not like the answer you get from your boss and end up being more bitter. So either let it go or quit the job.
true. I tried to look at the bright side...we are pushing for them to split our group and open up some developer roles that they dont currently have. In this instance they did for her (even though we both do the same work)...Maybe it will work out for me in the future, and they will eventually open one for me too.
if i couldn't calmly ask that question because of fear......then that sucks anyway.
i have many employees. i don't rule them with fear. if they can show me why they deserve something (even though i already know what they bring but i'm just a cheap ) then i'll honestly consider it. but i would need to see some real effort in their presentation.
Take anything rascal says with a grain of bath salts
would have helped if you told me you've only been there 3 months.
That is the right approach. Be patient and things should work out. Confronting the boss often turns confrontational and it only takes one time to cross the boss and you will be screwed.
The boss will give you some company line bull anyways so why even bother with her.
has she worked there longer than you? is she hot?
Yea, and my boss is an absolute sweet heart. Really nice lady. Fact is the concessions she got absolutely make sense and I am all for them for what her and I are doing. They benefit us and our organization. What I dont like is that she got them and I didnt...that is what kind of pisses me off. I dont even want the work from home thing, that is inconsequential for me really...What i do want is the job le, the pay and defined role of being a developer. Right now I am a developer, but led something else, so I have to try and keep up with the development schedule while still maintaining all of the duties of my actual le...she doesnt have to do that, and that is why I am resentful.
No, she is a 50something year old butch lesbian lady...lol...
Why should it matter really, she has only been here a year...
