Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the person recently hired to work in my spot during my days off started at a higher hourly rate than me, after I have been here for nearly three years. I asked for a raise and got a dollar more; meanwhile, my regional counterparts make 4 dollars more per hour. FML
Today, I found out I'm getting a pay cut, a week after I told my boss I need a raise or second job just to afford bills. I made the company 10k last week. FML
Today, I got a raise. A 10 cent raise. I have worked at my job for over 3 years. I now make 20 cents more an hour than people that have only worked there 3 minutes. FML
Today, I got raise at work. It's $3 per month. FML
Today, I discovered my employer is advertising for a contractor position within my team performing basically the same role as myself. Except the pay is seven times more. FML
Today, after 3 years at my job I received a 14% raise. I was informed I will be transitioned from hourly to salary. I will now be making $1500 LESS than I made last year. FML
Today, despite my ability to generate the company around £300,000 a year, I'm paid roughly £28,000 and yet I just discovered the new hire, who still hasn’t finished her training, has been given a starting salary of £35,000, which will rise to £40,000 after her training. FML
Today, I found out I make less money than the temps at my job by over 2 dollars an hour. I've been working there the longest and do 75% of the job myself. I was told, "We'll think about it" when talking to upper management about getting equal pay or close to. FML
Today, I got a 25-cent raise at work. That would be wonderful, had they not cut 6 hours off my schedule as well. I'm now making $200 less a month than I was pre-raise. FML
Today, I got a raise at work. It will bring my hourly wage to about a cent more per hour. Our CEO just reported record-breaking profits for the year. FML

Studies showed that women are very bad when it comes to value and sell themselves and that's part of why men still have better incomes. So you know what you have to do... go get a raise!

Sorry, but who cares? Just get your shit together and start the week out by submitting your resume at a business you'd want to work for with better benefits and salary!

Something similar happened to me at my last job. I'd been with my boss for a year and a half, had gotten a small raise six months earlier, and found out the new hire STARTED at a higher pay rate than I was making at the time I left, doing the same job. I was freaking pissed. It was part of why I left.

I remember working at my first job for 3 years and still making minimum wage. A new employer gets hired and within his first year, he got promoted to manager. I was livid. Later I found out it was because he wasn't very bring and was being used as a patsy, so the manager could frame him for extortion, which the store manager who hired him was actually doing. It was discovered of what the store manager because we had cameras located around the store and there was repeated moments of large sums of money missing.
