I applied to my current job in the summer because it seemed like a fun, laid-back place to work which isn’t inaccurate. I’ve been working here for a few months now and there have been a few occurrences that have made me second guess my decision to work here.
Today I happened to be scrolling indeed because I’ve been thinking about picking up some shifts at a restaurant because tip $ sounds nice. I noticed that two days ago, my place of employment advertised that they’re hiring. And the pay rate on the advertisement was $2-$4 more than what I make there.
It just feels unfair to me, the job they’re advertising for includes a little more customer service than my position but I don’t think that I should get paid less just because I’m NOT doing customer service. I work really hard and do a good job and while I appreciate the verbal recognition I receive for it, I’d also like some monetary recognition.
Am I wrong for feeling like it’s unfair for a new hire to get paid more than me?
