A lot of things could have happened differently in this story. Both the manager’s reaction and Jodie’s timing were bad. Thanks for your input Karen.

Being a female, I would have felt the same way - under appreciated and disrespected, but I probably would have started brushing off my resume as soon as I left the meeting. But, that's just me. Sometimes these situations turn out great and people have a second chance, but it's rare to have situations where the manager's first reactions aren't the true reactions and by then it can be too late for a win-win situation. On the other hand, Jody could have picked a better time to approach her boss for a raise and should have been prepared for every eventually and also could have not sprung the topic on her boss.He might then be prepared to meet her requests or relay why the raise was not appropriate at the time.
