Hey,
(If you're wondering why I'm exactly asking this, I'm an 18 yr old working at the local movie theater owned by the big corporate chain, part-time, about 5-15 hrs/week)
I'm really wondering how should I approach the boss for a raise.
I've worked there since 0ct. 2003; during my interview, the second-in-line [the one right below the big boss] who interviewed me, said that employees receive a raise after working there for one year (I'm at mininum wage right now). Well, it's been 2 months since then, and they haven't just given to me [I figure they wouldn't.].
A couple of my other co-workers said that you have to ask them yourself; then it goes under a brief consideration period [of a couple weeks] and then it has to go through the main corp. office, and about 6-10 weeks later; you get your raise of 50 cents/hour.
However, my work isn't afraid to dick around, such that one of the co-workers hasn't received his yet, even working there for about 18 months, since he isn't on good terms which the second-in-line [who does all the employee payroll]
[AFAIK, he didn't do anything significantly determental that would prevent him from getting a raise]. [though he doesn't work as much, only on weekends]
Pretty much, I'm wondering - should I be forceful and politely ask if they don't give me one, I'll put in my two weeks notice
Not say anything at all;
go to their office and politely ask for one, mentioning I worked there for the 15 months ?
