Although pay raises were not officially announced, I took a peek at my May 31 pay slip and saw that I got hosed as expected. I now take home around $120.00 more per month.
It's tempted to try to figure out exactly why we're so undervalued (my boss should have gotten more, but she got just what I did). But my hunch is that since we show up every day and we do good work with a minimum of complaining, we're considered to be people who will always put up with being badly paid. And the only way to get more money is to go find another job.
I find this strategy stupid and humiliating, so when I find another job I won't be available for counter-offers.
Other than being fucked on salary, I like this job. It's too bad about the management.
