I just gave notice at my shitty retail job, where I work part time with no benefits for twelve whole dollars an hour. I wasn't even going to give notice because why, but I didn't want to leave my co-workers, who I actually like a lot, in the lurch by short-handing our already short-handed department. (At least now if they're left short-handed when I leave, it's because the store didn't bother to hire anyone to replace me, and not because I just walked out.)
Anyway, when I told my boss I was going, she asked (out of curiosity, because while she's not a great boss, she actually isn't a bad one, either) what the pay at the new job was going to be, I told her it's twenty dollars an hour, and guaranteed full time.
She scoffed and said “geez, I don't even make twenty dollars an hour! Yeah, I don't blame you for going!”
So. This woman, who has given twenty five years of her life to this place, doesn't even make what I'm going to be starting at when I go to my new job. And she doesn't get OT pay, because she's salary!
I'm glad I didn't tell her about the fifteen paid holidays and guaranteed yearly bonuses. Sheesh.
