stupid employers Options

[*shotgunFUNERAL*]

why do employers, who are not willing to even give you a raise, willing to do anything it'll take to keep you around?

i go find a new job today making 8.50 an hour and accepted it. i go to tell my other job where i made 6.75 an hour that i was moving on to a newer job and she tried to do anything in her power to get me to stay, but wouldn't guarentee that i could make as much as i would at my new job. don't get me wrong, the lady is really nice, but throw me a freakin' bone; if you're going to give me 12 hours a week, DURING SUMMER, of course i'm going to move on. i was getting more than twice that DURING SCHOOL. on top of that, you're giving me the shit jobs when i am trained for much higher level jobs in the store.

i think i'll kinda miss the job, but ill miss the people more than anything. maybe that's why i hate looking for jobs so much. i mean, it was a great store and i liked it, but if you're not willing to help me out, i can't help you.

employers are too greedy and don't want to waste their time finding another employee

then they should give me an incentive to stay, rather than ignoring my request for a raise and giving me the shit job.

I agree. This may be a lttle off topic but my dad knows this guy the been working at the hospital for 50 years or so and my dad been for 20 years. This guy have some kind of down syndrome and they still pay him 8 dollars an hour but my dad gets paid about 15 dollars an hour. Its not fair that man was working longer and get paid less but they would kill to keep him. My cousin had the experiance to have higher level at her job but they wouldn't give her a higher pay. That goes to show you, make sure you get your colloge education because they is making it harder.

That sucks. I guess I understand the logic behind it though because once you know someone who is a hard worker, you don't want to lose them. On the other hand, it would be hard to increase the pay if they are limited on what they can pay. /shrug.

I told my last boss that I was leaving because the pay was too low and I was tired of what I was doing and he said, "I figured you'd be leaving soon, and yeah, hostessing is a really bad job." He still has people call me to get me to come in and cover shifts sometimes. I was so relieved that he agreed it was a terrible job and didn't give me a hard time.
