Update

$1.00

Yep, one whole dollar for all that.  Apparently his son told him they can't afford anymore (bullshit I say) and "wishes" he could, they just don't have any more business locked in yet to say they can afford more so he said his son is hoping next year we land all this potential business and can afford to "give us what we truly deserve".  Pretty much all I heard was "I'm sorry......I'm sorry"

Well, I guess I shouldn't complain, at least I still have a job and a job I enjoy coming to.

Re: Update

  • I just posted on your other thread but wanted to say that stinks girl.  :(  

    Too bad we can't junk punch boss' son?

  • Well, that's 4 times the size of your first raise, I guess, looking on the bright side of things! Sorry it wasn't more. If you can squeak a dollar out of them every year from now on, that would be pretty cool.
  • Actually Twink, my raise last year was not my first.  That was my first since the explosion.  The first 2 years I was here I got a raise of $1.00 each year, then the explosion happened and no raise, then last year $0.25, now this year back up to $1.00, so no, I'm not going to complain, I fully understand $1.00 is way more than most people get.

    I just felt like he was hyping up more than that by using the term "numbers I'd be happy with".

    Oh well, I still love it here.

  • Sorry it wasn't more but hey it is a dollar more an hour.  I'd so take that right now!
  • Yah on $1, though... !!! I say... Yes for getting ballsy on da boss!

  • You gotta think of it as $1/hour raise = $2080 (assuming 40 hour work weeks) which is not a bad raise.  And its $1 more/hour than you made this year!

    Totally! I wish it was more, but Breanne is right :) 

  • I'm sorry it's not what you expected, but at least it's something!

    Ditto Breanne!  I was hoping it'd be more, but at least it's something and more than what you had before.  And, definitely way to go for standing up for yourself!

  • That stinks, but it's great you're looking at the positive. Plus, at least you got a raise =D. Sorry it was disappointing.
