So I work for a in hospital as a pharmacy technician. I've been there 2 and a half years and when I started the pay was 14.17. I now make 15.30.
My company changed the starting wage for all positions in the hospital to 15 an hour. My pay was 15 when this happened so all I got was a 30 cent raise.
I feel like it's.not fair that someone that was making 10 working as a custodian before is making 15 but I just get a measley 30 cent raise? I feel that my pay should have gone up at least three dollars.
I have a certification and schooling. My certification is due for renewal but why should I renew my certification when I can just move to an easier job at the hospital and make essentially the same money?
Am I just being an asshole and should I be happy for my 30 cent raise?
(Also to be completely clear I have no problem with all positions making 15 an hour. 15 an hour is still barely livable, but I just feel my schooling and the fact I was making 15 before should qualify me for a higher pay.)
