No Raise for the Wicked

So according to Eckerd I have gotten too many raises and so I do not get my yearly raise I was supposed to get in February. Um I make $9.00 an hour after 6 years, doing everything they have ever asked. Leading their whole Medicare Outreach program and what not. Like my district manager and everyone thinks I should get it and are fighting wiht corporate right now but how ridiculous. A new hire starts at like 7.50 I think now so I am 1.50 ahead of someone with no skills after 6 years....how ridiculous. If they don't give me this raise I need to get back at them bad...and not in just a quit at a bad time kinda way...something worse...i have a few ideas...any have suggestions?

The Problem is that when you started the minuim wage was much lower so now when it goes up the Pay scale dosn't go up by the amount of the minimum wage. That is what happened to me at "wilson farms" They paid a set amount over the minium wage and then had raises every so often. But with out being a manager your pay didn't go up after about 4 years. So Minium Wage went up and the payscale changed but for people who where all ready there we got about half or maybe about a 3rd of the amount that it went up. So people who just got hired warn't making much less then me.

I agree with (e:leetee). Don't get even, get out. Go somewhere else... like Wegmans. :oD I'll be your reference, seriously.

I think it's horrible you only get paid 1.50 over a new hire with no experience.

But i also don't think you should get back at them. You will have to list them as a place you worked on a resume, and you may want to use your boss as a reference some day. So, as tempting and wonderfully gratifying it might be now,it may come back to bit you in the ass. My opinion is to not do it. Why burn bridges? Feel free to take or dismiss this advice as you see fit. :O)

Do You Wanna Hang Out

"do you wanna hang out?" 5 simple words. Seems simple enough. It's not like I am asking for marriage just to hang out. Yet can i say them...alas the answer is no. I can call, I can chat, but can I say "do you wanna hang out?" , I guess I cannot!

i always want to hang out w/ italian stallions

Those 5 words are hard to say. Some people take it the wrong way and think you are asking to be their boyfriend. I told a girl i wanted to hang out with her and she said she wasn't looking for a boyfriend. I got offended but we did end up going out so be bold and just say it.

ladycroft - 03/21/06 00:44
if you asked me i'd say 'oh yah sure you betcha'. but i know what you're getting at...i vote we all sign up for lessons in boldness :)
