Literally what my retirement plan says
Ridiculous raise offer
I work an office job. My company has lost a lot of valuable employees over the last few months due to internal chaos and is also struggling to find new employees. This is why me and my colleagues have struggled to keep the department running but we did really well with lots of overtime and sweat. As part of our annual talks with our bosses I was told that I did really, really well and that they trust me to be able to take even more responsibility and more challenging tasks this year.

I get paid 14 an hour and technically am full time. I haven’t had a full week of work since Christmas. There have been supply issues, met with ineptitude that have left us with nothing to consistently produce for months. On top of that they turn the heat off in the warehouse after every shift, making it insanely unpleasant every morning. I’m talking 38 degrees inside when we show up. The boss sits in his office with his space heater every day leaving me with my co-worker, who begins sneaking drinks at around 9 am and is fairly drunk by lunch. The chaos of that place is too much for me. Last week my coworker had…
