.50 cent hour raises are laughable

This happened towards the end of 2019, I was working for an automotive shop part time while I was in school and had just finished up at tech school with a degree in Automotive, I tell my boss that I’m finished in school and I’m ready to go full time. The companies response? .50 cent raise for all my hard work so I was now at a nice $10.50 an hour with my degree. I started plotting my departure from there but as fate would have it COVID put me on furlough and eventual lay off the following April. There’s a reason why many dealers and shops have high turnover rates and with the supply shortage I know it’s higher
