I've always loved my job and compared to other jobs its been heaven. There are of course small complaints I have but nothing major until today.
My work announced at the start of the month that they were giving every employee tiered bonuses for working during covid.
Tier1: $750 for everyone who didn't work in the office.
Tier2: $1500 for everyone who did work in the office.
Tier3: $3000 for everyone who worked in the public.
Now I didn't work I nthe public, but I did work in the office. I also worked in our kcial County jail, which for those of you who don't know, law enforcement employees rarely wear masks or get vaccinated, so while I would consider that working in the public (especially with the inmates), I was content with the $1500 bonus.
During our team meeting today, my boss told everyone that we can view our paychecks that are due for the end of the week and it should show our bonuses. Mine was only $750. I've only been on this team since October, but before that, I was still working in the office in a different part of the organization, combined with rare work from home. However, even the people on my current team worked from home at the start of the pandemic. And all of them confirmed they got the full $1500.
I told my boss and she's looking in to it for me, but my coworker told me that I should probably just give up hope on this one. This really sucks.
