About 2 months ago my boss came to me and asked me to start learning to drive forklift. One driver quit and I am the next fastest person in the warehouse. I completed my training and certification in less than a week for the forklift. They instantly start having me do this task of driving everyday which should have come with a 2$ pay raise.
Every week now they just avoid me, and when I do confront them asking where my raise is they just give me some BS of its still under consideration and they want to give everyone a chance and try some stuff or whatever. They haven't started a single person even on the video portion of the training so who are these others they are claiming are applying for the job they asked me to do? It's been almost 2 months and I've still yet to see them try these other people or give me what I should be paid.
What can I do here? I can't really force them to give me my raise and if I refuse this new task I feel like they will start trying to make my life hell if I go against any of their “commands”. I suspect it's because we're in a huge wave MANDATORY OVERTIME and they want all the overtime to pass before they pay me the correct rate is my only guess why they are acting this way.
