I’ve been at my job for a year and recently we got a 6mo retention bonus. Me and one other coworker didn’t get it because we were in orientation during the cut off, even though we were self sufficient and working by ourselves at that point since our orientation ended the following day.
I was not at work the day people were talking about bonuses but my friend was and had texted me if I gotten one. Then we both decided to go to our boss and advocate for ourselves and we’re getting our bonus next week!!!
If it wasn’t for this sub I wouldn’t openly talk about pay as my job still says we shouldn’t talk about it, and I surely wouldn’t have the confidence to speak up.
So thank you all!
My friend is awesome and everytime anything pay related happens we tell each other to make sure we’re getting fair treatment since we started at the same time
