That's crap still if you are over $9. It means the piece of crap pa who had been here a year will make five cents less an hour before merit raises. Cause he week bump to $9 and I make five cents more than that before my pa bump. So if his merit raise is better he will have surpassed five years of raises I've gotten by doing nothing. Literally.
Yeah, until the little shit is spending an eight hour shift chatting and letting everyone else do his work. Even though he's on corrective action for theft and swears like a sailor.
If you want a living wage, you shouldn't be in retail.
Same. I've been able to cut down on soda lately but I can't go a day without drinking 3 cups of coffee. Some days it's 4. It's not a good financial habit either. But those caramel macchiatos though....
All of those extra few pennies add up though.
I already make less than the lazy old man who had been here longer and gets high merit reuses because he flies below the radar. So I'd be more ok with someone who busts ass getting paid the same. At least all that money would get results. Instead it gets me nothing but bitching because we get paid "so little" and corporate "doesn't care because we don't get bonuses"
I don't expect a living wage but I sure as fuck won't be "thankful" every time they give me a raise of a few pennies.
you should expect it, it won't change but you have every right to expect a living wage from a company that makes as much money as Target. the only thing you can do is get yourself out of the loop, answer phones at a doctors office, get into construction, etc all non retail jobs that pay more or go to college for other opportunities, just run from retail, otherwise stay and expect to be let down on a consistent basis and know it's what you chose.
April 19. It will all happen at the same time.
