Thanks Anita. I spoke with two of the mangers a while ago and explained to them all the extra work I was getting and that I needed a raise and gave them examples of what I was doing above and beyond. It took a few months for them to even get back with me about it but they eventually agreed to a 30 cent raise. Ya, that’s it. I was basically told that other people have been given more work and they don’t get paid anymore and that I was being given this raise because the high ups liked my manager and it wasn’t because I was doing more work. It was like a slap in the face. From the vibe I’m getting it is either deal with it because they will not disincline those that need it and if I don’t like it I can leave. They have no appreciation for employees that work their hardest. I think they feel that “they can always get someone else.” To me it’s a very bad attitude for a company to have yet I assume it happens a lot and I know I’m not the only person that feels this way. A person in a different department eventually left because they were just tired of the games and unappreciation. I feel that if I straight up tell them “no” then I will get fired. I know some people reading this may think that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I too have a mortgage and bills to pay and it’s discouraging that I’ve been applying to other places and have got nothing in the past year or so.

Thank you for reading and advice.
