This is kind of just a rant…
So, I’ve been working for a small business for the past 8 months now as my first job, and it has been a rollercoaster. I used to make $17-$20 an hour, which for a first job is pretty great, but out of the blue they start hiring new people and now I’m lucky to make over minimum wage ($13.25). I’ve been working at this place for the longest out of everyone here besides the two founders.
I used to be working for 3 days a week at one point, but they had so many new workers that they limited me to one day a week, which means I made about $65 a week. I’m working 2 days a week now but they gave me less hours so I’m still not making over $90.
Not to mention, my bosses who have yelled at me multiple times for not knowing how to do something, even though they never trained me how to do it. They’ve also been talking about possible promotions for some people for awhile now and have done nothing. On top of all of that, they never keep us stocked up enough on basically everything for us to function well.
I got a second job because I’m saving up for something, so now I have to balance two jobs and school. This new job can give me the hours I want, but it’s seasonal so I will only have it for a couple of months.
