Wishful Thinking
So since I spoke to my boss a few months ago, things have been better with her attitude. But, she's not followed through with telling me she'd figure out some sort of compensation/raise because a) I've not had one in 2 1/2 years and b) I was doing two jobs. She has given me an extra week of vacation a year so I get 2 now, but she's requiring me to take them before my maternity leave kicks in (which is legal) and because our fiscal year begins October 1 - I basically won't get vacation again until next October which sucks.
Anyway, this morning I saw a note on her desk which stated how much she is paying my friend who is replacing me PT. $4.50 an hour more than I am making. I'm FURIOUS. She's doing my job, and she's getting paid more. How is that fair? And the problem is I can't bring it up to her because she didn't exactly tell me and salaries are clearly private so I don't really have the right to say anything. I thought most of the time, temps got paid less anyway. So, unless I see a raise in my paycheck (a substantial one at that) on October 1 - I think I'll be looking for a new job after maternity leave ends. I'll continue to work PT from home a little for her because I need the money, but as she's only paying me hourly, I don't feel I owe it to her to do anything for her and won't feel so bad about quitting in February without warning.
Thanks for letting me vent, it's just so unfair.
Re: Wishful Thinking
Nope. And I'm the one who got her hired too. The whole thing is just so annoying. I love my friend, this isn't her fault at all, but really? And currently she's getting paid more than me to just shadow me until I leave.
