About 1-2 months ago I received a raise from my boss. At this time I was told I would be immediatly moved up from $10 to $11 and we would talk about moving me up to $12.
I believe I am the hardest worker @ my job, and was always willing to work whenever they needed me. I was always scheduled for 6 days a week, and would often work 7.
Recently I talked to my boss about getting the $12 and was told that he needed to see a few more things out of me to be earning that. I was informed that others at my position who have been working there are receiving less than I am now.
Obviously I wont be getting my raise at all, and the others should get one themselves.
My problem is this: As some of you might know from my other posts I started this job to become a server. I feel like Im being used because at my position it is hard to find good workers to stay. My boss told me that since im currently going to school and cutting back my hours that it is holding me back from getting the raise.
I really feel like this is a slap in the face, and also everytime they hire someone to serve it is a slap in the face. Serving would be alot more money, but I do enjoy my job. Ive been comtemplating quiting and getting a job serving somewhere else. The problem is that I feel they would ask me why I never served @ my current job. Which I really couldnt give them an answer to.
This is sortof acting as a lil rant for myself, but I hope to get some good feedback on possible actions I should take.
