Reply #37: Tell them there are people asking you to apply for other jobs

It's a lie but so what. They've been lying to you and using you and now you're admitting to being abused. Like you said, they're "Fucking assholes".

Let them realize you aren't a sure thing, which you aren't. Tell them you feel you're forced to look for another job because you simply can't make it financially.

I've found that when someone has power over you and they abuse it, it's time to make them realize they don't really have any power over you at all, because that power belongs to you entirely. I doubt they'll let you go since you're making them richer.
