The saying goes that people dont leave a company they leave a boss.
And the following story is a perfect explanation of why its so popular.
This raises all sorts of questions about the generational gap between employers and employees.
How much are you paying these people?
My take-home pay every two weeks after taxes and health insurance was less than $600.
She wanted all of us to chip in $30.
I told her, Sorry, I cant do that.
I cant afford it.
And she looked at me like she was blown away by my comment.
She said, How can you not afford $30?'
And she just kind of shrugged.
I lived in Goodlettsville.
And the bank I worked at was Bank of America in Bellamy.
So I was commuting at least 20 miles each way and paying for $4-a-gallon gas.
Im giving you a raise.
I get excited because I need a raise and I need more money.
She says, I bumped you up to $9.10 an hour.
And the sad part was she had no idea how insulting that was.
And inspired a heated discussion
