I’m been working so hard on courses to get a raise at work and I waited for three pay periods for it to actually go through! We just got two new hires and they are getting a higher starting pay then I did and they’re making exactly as much I’ve been contacting so many managers and owners to finally go through. This pay period I saw I make 25 cents more than them now but I still think it’s highly disrespectful that I had to fight them for months for this to go through and these new people get it right out the door. I’ve never had to talk to higher ups about something like this so I’d really appreciate some suggestions on how to handle this!
