I’ve been working at a daughter company of a big name multi-billion dollar company. When I started I was told that my beginning wage would be $17 an hour. And then after 90 days I would be bumped up to 20+ dollars an hour. I started that job in late February, and it wasn’t until almost November that I got that pay raise and full-time status. I have been at this job for one month shy of five years, in about a year ago a random ass dude that was friends with the general manager got hired on at a wage higher than my current wage. He got hired on at a wage at least $1.50 higher than my current wage. You must maintain 40 hours a week and he has been one of the most inconsistent employees that my team has it still makes that sandwich. We were all told that 3% annually was the maximum raise, and if we wanted a higher raise than that, then it would have to be taken out of the salary of somebody else that worked there. There is an old man that has been working for this company for a decade, and makes less than this new guy that has only been there for a year who does the same or less amount of work than anybody else on our team. That GM was fired for unrelated reasons a few months after he got his friend hired on, yet they rest of us who have been loyal to the company and busted out asses outside of the required 40hrs a week make $1.50 less (or more) than him. Is this legal?
