Antiwork

We hired a guy two months ago. Quit last week. Other guy quit as well. Put it shortly we are down to just five people. I work in the Trades. My pay is 13.50 an hour. A lot of cities in my state have raised the minimum wage to 15 an hour. Today our district manager arrived unannounced. Me and another co worker spoke and both agreed to talk with our district manager about our pay since our two managers just feed us bullshit about our pay. My back pay from a few months ago still hasn't touched my bank account. But we decided to speak with our DM about our pay rates, as the other guy we hired got an extra 4 dollars an hour than us, on top of being the worst employee we've seen here since last year, and quit less than two months in.

After asking what those were I got 1) no answer and then 2) we can sit here all day and go through them (to which I said ok please) and then 3) no further comments. I asked my supervisor the same question, and after she couldn't give me an answer my manager told me to stop asking and to just accept what they're saying and that I'm in this review and whatever. As part of this performance review I'm confident enough that I'll be doing absolutely nothing differently because they have nothing. However, she has now decided that I'm no longer to be working flexible hours – just like everyone else in the company – and my hours are to be fixed. Flexible working is at the discretion of the manager but this is no…
