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

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got raise at work. It's $3 per month. 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
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 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 was promoted. After going to school for 10 months to get certified for the new position, training extensively, and taking on a ton more responsibility, I was hoping for a decent raise. How much do my bosses think all of that time and effort is worth? One dollar more per hour than I made before. 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, I found out that one of my coworkers, who has been with the company for less than a week, is getting a $7k pay rise. I've been with the company for 8 months and still on minimum wage. 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 finally got a raise after years of hard work! Excited, I went on a shopping spree, but as I checked the latest prices, it turns out that my extra income barely covers the increase in my grocery bill. Thanks, inflation. FML
Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML

The same thing happened to me. I worked at a place for a year and a half and they gave me a FIVE cent raise. Then, after another year and a half, I found out people starting there (with no prior experience) were making more than me. I threatened to quit if they didn't give me a raise, so they gave me a 20 cent raise. So then, I was making as much as the people starting there. Needless to say, I am NEVER going back to that job.

Look, stop giving her shit and give her suggestions. For example: if you put aside the 20 cents extra per hour for every hour you work for one year and live on the salary you've been living on your entire time there, you will have (assuming you work the standard 9-5 job, 8 hours a day, 300 days a year) an extra 480 DOLLARS, which we both can agree, is a lot. Working an extra hundred hours a year (so two extra per week) will get you to 500 dollars saved that year. Say you keep this job for five years? 2500 dollars. And if you get another ten cent raise two years down the road and keep that aside for five years, it will amount to 3600 DOLLARS. Baby steps.

20¢ goes a long way. Especially if, since you've been working there longer, you get more hours.
