I work in landscaping and my boss was planning on hiring another worker. He hasn’t yet and when I asked him when he will he jokingly said I can’t find anyone who will work for as low a wage as you. I currently make $25 an hour.
Should I be asking for a higher wage/should I quit? It hurt knowing my boss (who has his own house and multiple cars) would joke about my financial situation that he literally is the reason for while I’m struggling to pay rent and have thousands in debt. Am I overreacting?
