20 Comfy Cozy Cats Because We Could All Use a Heartwarming Pick-Me-up Right Meow

It has finally gotten colder outside, and we don't know about you guys, but our introverted hearts are thriving in this cold weather. Finally, coats are out, warm blankets are appropriate, hot cocoas are a daily thing… it's the best. But that doesn't mean that we do not feel the cold. It doesn't mean that we do not struggle to get out of bed to go to work in the morning. It doesn't mean that we don't need a heartwarming pick-me-up in the form of some awwdorable cat pictures right meow. 

Although, we would not say no to a bunch of cute cat pics any day, if we have to be honest. But there is something extra special about seeing pictures of cozy cute cats enjoying the cold weather as much as we do on chill days like these. And we know that you guys get it, because the sheer quantity of pics that you sent us when we asked you for the coziest pics of your cats was amazingly overwhelming.

After being denied a raise, employee resigns and accepts job at rival company, boss rejects the resignation and offers a 50% raise instead: ‘I couldn't refuse’

When you know you are a valued employee, one your company cannot afford to lose, you have a lot of leverage when negotiating benefits and pay. The problem is, unless you actually threaten to quit, companies will not be in a rush to give you more than they think you deserve, which is usually much less than what you do deserve. 

So employees threaten to quit, and some manage to get what they want from their current company, and some end up actually quitting and getting a better deal somewhere else.

The employee in this Reddit story (OP, original poster) got the best of both worlds, since they already had another job lining up when they handed in their resignation letter. Their boss, who previously refused to give OP a raise, decided to reject the resignation and offer OP exactly what they wanted, which meant OP now had two offers, and a big decision to make.

Scroll down to read how the story ends. After you are done, click here for a story of a food company that refused to listen to their QAs' advice, and launched a terrible new sauce nobody wanted.
