My cousin’s friend is a very important IT guy as some company. He has tried to resign multiple times, but they always convince him to stay with a salary increment.

Now my cousin tried the same tactic at his office.

They received it and wished him well in his future endeavours.

This image shows a tweet detailing a workplace scenario where an employee was unexpectedly allowed to resign after trying to use a resignation threat to negotiate a higher salary.

• The user’s cousin attempted to emulate another employee’s successful strategy of threatening to resign in order to receive a salary increase.
• Instead of receiving a counteroffer, the cousin’s employer immediately accepted the resignation, illustrating the risk of bluffing about leaving a job.
• The tweet highlights a situation where an employee miscalculated their value to the company
