I work for a big box store one you need a membership to shop at. ( Y'all can guess from the two ) at the beginning of the pandemic the company gave us 2.50 an hr extra for for essential worker pay. They took that away at the beginning of last year even with covid still raging on mind you. All while increasing starting pay by more than 2 dollars for new employees (17hr). Top out employees have been expecting a large bump and rightfully so ( rumor was a 3 dollar raise. Top out is 27$ currently) New handbook came out to our more than justified Surpised anger. A .75 raise for us. Nothing but a slap in the face while the company rakes in record profits. With turnover so high they do this?! I no longer feel like this company cares about their employees. If you have a membership to the big box stores I suggest you cancel them. They will only listen to the consumer now. Employee voices mean nothing to CEOs.
Sorry for the rant, this just happened and we are all very upset for busting out asses for not even a dollar more an hour.
