Now, before I get started on the situation at hand, let me give you a little backstory here.
When I first became GSA, I had been running GSA shifts on my own for at least a month prior. When they gave me the title, my ETL-HR said instead of having me interview for the position she was just going to override me into the system as a GSA, so that, as she blatantly put it, she "would not have to give me backpay." As if that wasn't insulting enough, the raise in my district is supposed to be 50 cents for a GSA. She gave me 25 cents. I challenged her on this, and all she had to say was "Sorry." I spoke to my GSTL's about it, and one of them did some digging for me and confirmed it was definitely supposed to be 50 and that I was stiffed. I still went with the position anyway (dumb).
Anyway, annual review time comes around and I've only been with the company for a year, so I'm not expecting a stellar raise and I've heard that they're a joke anyway. I thought I'd be lucky to get more than ten cents. Turns out my review was pretty great and I walked away with a 60 cent raise, bringing me from 9.75 to 10.35. So I was somewhat satisfied, until today.
So today after I clocked in for work, I was made aware by my ETL-HR that starting wage at my store will be going up from 9.50 to 10.00. She told me I'll be impacted because I'll be raised to 10.50. I make 10.35 now, so that's a 15 cent raise for me, whoop dee doo. I couldn't have cared less about it until she walked away and I started thinking about it, and then I got kind of pissed. If I currently make .85 more than a a cashier makes, should I or should I not get to keep that?
I had a discussion with my ETL-GE about this afterwards, and he just said a bunch of fancy shit, tried to get me to bathe in the big red kool-aid fountain he keeps in his office, and concluded with "nobody else's pay got pro-rated."
I can get that. Other people got raises too and they aren't getting pro-rated. Okay. Fine. I'm still mad. Am I right to be mad? On one hand at least they gave me the 50 cent minimum they were supposed to give me this time, unlike when I first got promoted, but on the other I want the 60 cent raise that I earned. Am I wrong?
