So I work for a small business owned by one guy. I just started my 6th year with this company in October. I make barely above minimum wage and I spoke with my manager about a raise. Although she said times were tough right now I am a good worker and she said she would give it to me. Although it’s probably only a dollar, I figured it’s better than nothing.
A few weeks go by and I find out this manager no longer works for the company(quit or fired idk). This company is poorly managed so anything could have happened really.
The last time I asked for a raise in 2020 the boss said times are tough with Covid so I actually put my two weeks in and found something at min wage for a few months until they called me to come back and gave me a raise. That was the last time my wage went up.
I work about 47 hours per week so it eats up my time to do anything else. My car isn’t the best or I would DoorDash on the side. Only one week paid vacation a year. Going to talk to the boss today. Any advice? Am I just being a bitch and should just deal with it?
I’m looking into joining the military and learning something that could give me a career bc this place is a dead end.
