Ultimately, you want to ensure to always have a BATNA - an alternative to what you are doing now that will make it easier for you to walk away any time (https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/batna/translate-your-batna-to-the-current-deal/ https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/batna/translate-your-batna...).
It sounds like you're not particularly happy at work. The right and ideal thing to do would be to talk to you manager and utter your dissatisfaction; demand that the org does better than this, and make it clear that you will walk away if the situation persists. Think of it as a reverse PIP.
Of course, that only works if you have a decent BATNA.
- b3morales 5y agoInteresting idea, especially since it sidesteps the not-uncommon temptation to send a scorched-earth "f*** the lot of you" resignation. If you're composing it at the beginning of the job when you're perfectly happy, you're just going to have boilerplate pleasantries to write down.
