Does Costco get a pass for a less than 3% raise this year because they pay cashiers $27+/hr? I thought the raise would be $1.50-$2 across the board based on past raises and was kind of shocked that it was $.75. They also put in smaller raises for the next 2 years.
To make life better for everyone.
And maybe “if you're going to increase starting wages for workers with no experience, you need to increase wages for the workers who have years of it and stayed loyal to you this long.”
I had floral and garden experience from working at Lowes years prior. A local florist was hiring. They noted my previous experience on my application, then they asked, “why didn't you apply for a job at Lowes then?” I answered, “I'm responding to your help wanted ad?” The interview was very awkward from there on.
What is the deal if you have the same owner and two different businesses? Let's just say I worked around 75-80 hours per week between two different places of businesses but have the same owner. Would someone be entitled to overtime in that situation?

If youre thinking of accepting a counteroffer from your soon-to-be-ex-company, think about it. It cost you TIME to search for another job, to go to interviews, and to have the LUCK of finding another company that would pay MORE than yours. Retention is extremely easy for the company, not you. To get something better you have to WORK to find it. And remember, when youre leaving, have everything in writing, from both companies. Dont leave without a contract or you could lose both jobs. ( I saw some stories like that )
And that leaves me and other already overworked staff having to work more. Shall I also go on one? Like I dont have a doctors note. And I am not crazily “stressed” since I am quite resourceful and take ownership. What shall I do…. Manager knows about lack of resourcing. Thing is she also handed in her notice recently. I could leave for other job but I want secondment hence I am staying with my current firm.
Why The hell do we have holidays in the US (President’s Day Tomorrow) if your fellow employees take it as a badge of honor to go into work.! You’re essentially shamed for even bringing it up. I’m not US born (I can get away with asking simple questions that I know the answer to) so I asked my manager at the last staff meeting this very question. “President’s Day isn’t really a holiday”I was told. But I replied without the added expletive “why then is it on the Glucking Calendar!!!!! Needed to get that off my chest. Thought of you fine people.
