Money sucks
So it is fairly common knowledge that I am overworked and underpaid at work. I kept holding out until my 90 day review...hoping I would get more money.
Well my friend had her review before me and her negotiations for a decent wage didn't go anywhere. She was offered an insulting amount and she refused, and is now going to be a sales person. Well I am learning from her mistakes and taking a slightly different tactic. I am going to ask for more money, but in return also ask for more work. Say here are all the things that I am doing and these are things that I would like to do, but would need more money in which to do it. We will see how these talks go. I will still be over worked and underpaid, but at least I would be getting some more money.
Worse case scenario...I quit and get a new job. I can't keep working at a crap hourly wage. I know I am worth more, and I know that the work I do is worth more. It just really sucks because I like everyone at work. It would be an easier thing to do if the people were all asses. It sucks that I have friends there and relationships with people, that I don't want to give up...and I know that I really suck keeping in touch with people once I stop seeing them...as I'm kinda discovering with my Mills friends. Oh well...whatever happens happens....I will attempt to keep this posted.
