We just went through a shift in management where 4 people got transferred and 4 new people got brought in. I was talking to the new store manager about how they liked the job so far and the topic of bonuses got brought up, specifically how all manager should get one if the store “bonuses” each month. I said I’ve never received a single bonus in the year and a half I’ve been here. Which led to me asking what the other person who was hired for my same position was making. Turns out I’m making less than the “hiring wage” for my position. SM talked to the district manager and was given a lecture on how it’s against policy for us to talk about our wages (SM took up for me on that one, yeah it’s illegal to forbid it) and was told he couldn’t do anything about it anyway until he got back from vacation in 2 weeks. What are my options here?
