Witty Employee Resigns After Company Offers Higher Salary to New Hires, Reapplies Again to Get Higher Pay
A witty employee resigned from his job and reapplied to the same position after the company offers higher salaries to new hires.
Kazza, a TikTok user, shared his story of quitting his job and then reapplying to the same position after seeing the company’s job post for the exact same job with the same job description but with a higher pay rate.
The company mistakenly thought he was a new hire and offered him a higher pay rate. This unusual situation has left many people amused, especially those who have experienced a similar scenario in the past.
While it’s common for tenured employees to earn more than new hires, it’s unusual for a company to offer a higher pay rate to new employees who are doing the same job as the tenured ones.
Kazza shared that he felt cheated by his employer, prompting him to apply for a “new job”. He even told his boss about his plan, but the latter advised him against it and said he would check with the company about the situation.
Despite his boss’s warning, Kazza went ahead and attended the interview. It was during the interview that the company mistakenly thought he was a new hire and offered him a higher pay rate.

The company apparently did not realize that Kazza was a previous employee.
Kazza’s story has garnered thousands of views on TikTok, and many netizens have left comments asking if he applied using a new identity. Some even suggested that he should negotiate for an even higher pay rate now that he is a “newbie” but already an expert on the job.
