I am making more money, but I am now only making a little over a dollar more than a brand new hire.

So glad I might have finally found a new opportunity because corporate can go fuck off.

??? The way you worded this makes it sound like you are just mad because a new hire also got more money.

Similar but i can easily get hours. New hires are pretty bad and quit a lot.

Yeah, I remember when that happened to me. I was at a new hire's desk, helping him learn how to do the job, and happened to see the proof of income letter for his landlord on his desk. Discovered he was making more than me at the same job, having just started.

Had a word with my boss about it the next day and got a raise.

Corporations are such jerks with raises. That's why people don't stay at companies long anymore. Just job hop your way to success now.

I am. If new hires get $16, then I should get at least $20.

Yeah, but it is also kind of a demotion. Why work hard for 5 years when any jackass off the street can basically make the same money?

We all knew these raises were bullshit. If anything, it makes us more expendable. Bold strategy from a company bleeding employees left and right. Everyone copying the Amazon strategy of burning through the entire workforce to avoid paying fair wages to long-time loyal employees. It's like when Xfinity or Verizon only offer deals to new customers while overcharging everyone else.

a lot of places are really struggling to get new hires, they are the priority. Honestly I get it and it sucks but the fact that wages are finally starting to go up to some degree in most places period is a shocking achievement for this country
