Boss demands a 'reverse Glassdoor' after employee quits 24 hours after getting a raise
'I pray that the next company does a background check,' Ritelin added bitterly.
How well do you really know who you're working with? Be it an employer or an employee. Platforms like Glassdoor let job seekers read employee reviews before deciding whether to join a company. Ritesh D. Ritelin, the founder of D2C growth consulting company Porcellia, took to LinkedIn to complain about an employee who resigned within 24 hours of receiving a raise. He claimed that employers need a "reverse Glassdoor," so they know who they're hiring. The post was shared on October 6, 2026, and it received 53 likes and 13 comments.
200% effort
Ritelin criticized an employee for submitting their resignation within 24 hours of receiving a raise, calling it "sheer audacity." He believed an honest conversation about their job search would have been better, and they could've left on a "good note." If they had done that, he said he would have given them a raise anyway, and "they work 2-3 more months in good faith and give their 200% during the festive season." Ritelin expected his employee to show their dedication to his company and give their 200% during one of the busiest seasons of the year before moving on to another job, simply because he gave them a raise.
'Relationship management and fostering 101'
Ritelin also claimed that "working in good faith" was how people built relationships in the corporate world, and it was something colleges don't teach. He described his proposed arrangement as "Relationship management and fostering 101," adding that colleges do not teach it. On a bitter note, he added, "I pray that the next company does a background check and I get a call asking about their feedback." He concluded his post by asking LinkedIn users to let him know if a website similar to Glassdoor existed for employee reviews.
Background checks
It's a smart idea to research a company, its work environment, and how bosses treat employees before joining. According to Indeed’s 2024 Workforce Insights Report, based on a survey conducted by The Harris Poll from December 5–18, 2023, among 5,058 U.S. adults ages 18–65, 54% of respondents said they typically researched every company before applying, while 56% said they regularly consulted employee reviews when researching potential employers. Ritelin wanted a similar platform where employers could leave feedback about employees.
'Self-reflect before revenge'
Unfortunately for Ritelin, his post was not received positively by LinkedIn members. Silvanow undefined asked, "Did you give them a raise that reflected the 200% effort you expected from them? If not, I can understand why they left. You undervalued them, and ultimately, you’re the one who lost out." Jack Lablank added sarcastically, "Oh no, sheer entitlement of the employee who just wants to get a better job. Perhaps time to self-reflect rather than plot revenge."
