[Anonymous]

a little back ground info
right now i'm assistant manager for a pool company retail shop i make $16.12 an hour

My brother from another mother we’re all getting older & I’m sorry to hear your mother has a few problems. In addition quitting your job would be the stupidest thing to do right now. As for me I always tell people if you are going to quit a job just make sure you have another job lined up & as for your if you are thinking about quitting just make sure you have another job lined up. When it comes to overtime a lot of jobs don’t offer overtime & as for you I say suck them dry until the overtime is gone.

How long have you been with your company? Ask your boss for a raise $18.00hr

Smart man!

@static_in_the_attic ii appreciate your advice but working 60 hours in a pool store during the summer it sucks

have to deal with rude assholes who want everything 2 mins ago plus having no good emplyees to hired during the summer as no one wants to work.

its beating me

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Does your current job have health benefits?

[Asker]

@static_in_the_attic i'm nott sure of your from the usa but in the usa we have medicaid aslong as you make under a certin amount you can get it its free

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Dealing with rude assholes is everywhere you go & if companies don’t want to pay employees aren’t going to stay & the old saying is you get what you pay for. I need a good laugh what are you paying your summer employees?

[Asker]

@static_in_the_attic i make $16 as assistant manager

but the boss can set the pay i guess he does not own it he paid one woman $14 & one day $15

[Asker]

@static_in_the_attic i know assholes are everywhere but if i can just work 35 to 40 hours & be able to walk home from my job in like 5 mins or so thats all the things i need

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I live in the United States & I’m covered under Blue Cross Blue Shield & to be honest I wouldn’t qualify for free Medicare. As for you you’re an assistant manager & that my friend is a plus for you & if you are management at one place you can be management at other places as well.

If you can afford a pay cut. Being happy at a job. Means a lot!

[foodtv]

Depends on the paycut. You'd really have to take a look at your budget.
