Just wanted to share some good information about my work since we get so little in this sub!
My manager pulled me aside to let me know that he appreciates everything I do, and I’ll be receiving a pay raise to $18/h starting Thursday. I started 6 months ago on $15/h.
Didn’t ask for any raises or promotions; it was an unprovoked token.
This manager (GM) is also constantly buying drinks, food, snacks, and candy to leave in the back for employees to grab for free. Holidays are all volunteer based, they listen to scheduling requests, and employee complaints are taken seriously. GM actually had a sit down with the managers telling them that they need to get up and help employees more often due to some complaints. IMO, managers have since been great at coming to help during rushes instead of just watching (helped before too, just not as much as now).
Good places exist, don’t settle 🙂
