I have 33 college credits. I wish I could take back knowing that a coworker of mine makes more than $2.00 an hour more than I do, but I can't. We have the same job description, however I have more knowledge about procedures, planning, and training. I have been encouraged by my supervisor to expand into other rolls and have taken heed. I even took part in training our current maintenance person! I now cover for the shipping department, with a $0.25 per hour increase in pay (only when I perform this duty for more than a 4 hour time period, in a single day), also cover for our maintenance department when needed. I understand small business, but this is a bit much. I only make $10.00 an hour. When I left my last job, I made $12.50 per hour, that was over 5 years ago.

I always go above and beyond my call of duty. I keep getting thrown in my face that "we are such a bad economy that no one should expect any sort of a payraise" but yet he drives a brand new car- lives in a 1/2 million dollar home-, etc. I have sat down with him and laid out several things, to no avail. I am sincerely looking for different employment because I am coming up short at the end of every month. I may not get any raises, but it doesnt stop the utility, landlord, comcast from raising their prices on me. Something needs to give!!!

That kind of policies allows the best people to leave the compnay. In turmoil and with layoffs going about there is little chance to get a payrise, unless you are holding a key position in a key strategic business.
