    I'm not happy at work, and am looking for a new job. One of my dearest friends is putting in a good word for me at his store (they need an AM ).

    I talked to the manager yesterday, and things went well.

    Last week, I asked bossman two questions. 1. Will I get my 40 hours/week back? 2. When my raise kicks in, will I be making $10/hour? (That's the going rate for AMs around here.) He hemmed and hawed and didn't answer.

    I asked bossman both questions again today. I (almost) got answers. 1. "I wouldn't say never." 2. " I doubt it." I told him that the $8.75 I'm making now (with experience!!) is an insult. He says, "When I worked at <competitor>, I had to recruit AMs for $7.50 an hour."

    Then he says to me later then that, "Is $10 all it will take?"

    Like hell it will. It'll take more then that to keep me working with him. If I get in at the other store, I'll be getting that AND 45 hours a week (YAAAAAAY!) Like I'd stick around anyway; he's planning to quit when his baby is born in a few months.

    Wish me luck.

    I am working Pt right now. Because of the accountant we are using. He tells the Main Owner what to do, and the Main Owner, does everything he says. Well used too. The accountant is not letting the owners get their tax returns. So because of that, I am not getting my bonus that I was promised.

      Tell him no it would be 10/hr and a guranteed 40/wk, no less.

      Because you know he'll just try to get you stay for 10/hr but less hours.

        Good luck with the search.



        I wish I made $10/hour EVERY day, not just Sundays.

          Just be glad you're not over here. Corporate culture over here is currently of the mindset that if you lose one manager in a retail store, hire two part-timers to cover so you have lower employment costs.

            Raps, it's totally the same over on this side of the pond. Heck, it probably started over here.

            Thankfully, my company, as small as it is, doesn't subscribe to that theory.

              The only thing I'm really worried about is they have one of "those" tests.

                  Not THAT test. The horrific "personality" test or whatever it is.

                    In that case, lie like a lying bastard, but keep track of your lies and make sure they're consistent.
