Yeah, the company I work for pays pretty shit. But a whopping 5 months later they finally mention a raise to me. Because I don't stand around. I look for ways to help out other coworkers with anything they're working on as much as I can. If there's nothing I can contribute, I look for small stuff to do like cleaning up oil stains on the ground, emptying out the containers we catch oil in, etc.
Meanwhile I listen to these other guys mope around about their shitty pay. But they wear their attitude on their sleeve. They expect better pay but don't want to do shit to earn it.
Meanwhile on the flip side I'm really annoyed by the stupidity of being frustrated you keep getting employees who don't care about their business while starting people off at the same pay as a fast food worker for a fairly labor intensive job. You pay us shit. They could easily go anywhere at all and make the same amount of money.
