Just had a monthly review and was shown and told I am doing awesome. Boss asked me what he could do to help in any way…I asked for more money. He said sure let me see what I can do.
Then literally tells me a story of when he went from normal employee to manager and was not getting paid enough. He got a part time job because he needed the money. Did this for a few months missed some work from the full time and his boss gave him a raise to keep him from working the part time…..then said a part time job helped me(boss) out, it might for you too.
It sounded like he was giving sincere advice. He does not do sarcasm. He genuinely believes it was good advice.
I already put about 50 weeks in already to make as much for that paycheck. But cost are rising nonstop….
