It's one of those things that don't make sense like a department using up budget towards the end of the year so their budget doesn't decrease next year.

I don’t begrudge my immediate boss really as much as the entire system, as you refer too. He was a very generous and great person otherwise. If I had the cash to meet his minimum account level, I’d have my money with him. He runs a good business.
Yeah I was fed up with exactly what you are referring to. People I worked with in the mail room (mostly immigrants with families) had to have multiple jobs. Meanwhile my screensaver says we had 2+ billion in revenue that quarter. That and being the literal facilitator of wealth gaps, I just couldn’t deal. Honestly was on my way out with the job as it was. Asking for the money was really a Hail Mary attempt to squeeze some happiness out of it.
The people I worked with were all very kind and generous individuals. But when it came to giving me a drop in the bucket and retaining a loyal employee my boss, HR, and the branch manager, all of whom I had strong personal relationships with, side with letting me walk. Made me feel pretty affirmed in my feelings of wanting to leave.
