I feel I am being paid unfairly and I don’t know what to do, and I want to be prepared when I talk to management. Basically I was on the wire yesterday and saw a page called “pay scale”. I have been working for the company, mostly full time, for the past 9 years, and with recent increases in minimum wage all my raises have been surpassed by this, and I am now once again making minimum wage. I don’t think it’s fair that new associates are making the same as me, when I’ve been working hard for nearly ten years, and according to the pay scale form I saw I should be getting paid a minimum of $18 an hour? I am being paid $15.45. I’m a good worker and my department manager loves me and considers me essential. What can I do, or who should I talk to? I’ve been looking for other jobs, but I haven’t had much success as of yet, but I feel I might as well start anywhere else seeing as how at this rate I’ll be making minimum wage my entire life here.
