I work the front desk for a company called peak physical therapy and I’ve been working here for a little over a year now. Well I had my yearly review a little bit ago and I got a $1 raise. My position has a high turnover rate at all of our locations cause the job is HELL on one’s mental state. It’s basically my job to tell people bad news like they owe us a bunch of money or their insurance won’t pay for the therapy they need and guess who gets screamed at all day? I do.
I went from making $16 to making $17 an hour and for colorado that’s not enough to live on in any way. But the kicker? I would be making more money flipping burgers at McDonald’s (starting pay is $18 an hour here)
And my boss had the nerve to act like this was a huge deal. I wish I had said something during my review about how I deserve a living wage just like everyone does. But no I can go fuck myself I guess.
