I found out that I was making $5 less than entry level employees with no experience. When I brought this to the attention of my boss I asked for a salary adjustment. She told me that raises are tied to performance reviews and that it would likely have to wait. I waited about 1.5 months and made no issue. I then apparently was skipped for my performance review. When I asked my boss she gave me my performance numbers in an email.

Now, my numbers are admittedly slightly below average. I was new to the industry and do struggle in the job at times. I am also given compliments about how good of a job I do by her and coworkers. Basically I am ok to good at my job.

I know it is kind of silly expecting a raise with below average numbers but at the same time entry level workers with no experience are coming into the job and making $5 more. I truly believe I deserve to get a salary adjustment.

A. How would you feel in this situation.
B. How should I handle this/ what should I say.
C. Am I in the wrong?

hmmm...

I have been out of a job ever since Covid had started eventually I will be hopefully getting back in searching for jobs. Truthfully I want to have financial independence from my family, I am a 23 year old man who still live with his parents. There isn't nothing wrong with my family, they always do help me out, but I also find it extremely hard to live with them. My family is sometimes super annoying to live with but that isn't only it, I have always wanted to control literally everything in my life. So I think still being dependent on my parents and older sister isn't technically helping me feel more independent, I some day want to save up for my own place. But I wonder to achieve such a dream, I wonder which one is a much better route to take.

If you are working or also currently looking for work which one would you prefer to do, would you do two decent part time jobs or just do one decent full time job?

I will make more money at 65(if I live) . Social Security (if still there), and online sells (which should increase) If economy doesn't collapse. Plus Silver should get to $200 an ounce , which I would sell. Plus I could sell my business and work somewhere part time.

Most people make less after 65.

Being a Super Agent for Your Government Traveling The World Meeting New People?

Or an Astronaut Wandering Planets in NASA?

But it can bring death in two elections, even an hour of life on a planet is worth 7 years of the world.

I probably would have my own grocery store considering everyone needs groceries but how about you men and women, which business would you rather have?

As a Turkish, Turkish language feels and sounds richer to me compared to English. Everything is much detailed in Turkish: vocabulary, ways of expressing yourself, grammar and more.

But English has it's own advantages in itself, ofc.

I was hired for $15 in my industry. They gave me a chance w no experience. In my last job i was hired for $12 I was happy w $15 and didn't know any better. I have been on the job for 3.5 years. No raise in that time... I finally decide it is time to ask for a raise. I do my research and see the company avg is already $21 an hour. I politely request a meeting for a salary adjustment. My boss tells me it will have to wait.

In my 3.5 years I have improved every year, I have taken on new responsibilities. I have helped train new hires. I am helping a new hire and say , what the heck, ill ask what she is making. She tells me she is starting at $22 an hour. Here I am training her at $15. She has no experience and frankly, looks like she won't be good at the job. No complaints. I politely explain to my boss that I would really like to consider a salary adjustment.
He tells me that it is unlikely and they probably won't raise my salary past the usual 5% no matter what phrase I want to use. That is about a 35c raise.
I feel completely disrespected and underappreciated. Im training someone who can't write complete sentences and she is making so much more than me. I am now struggling with what my next option is. Do I leave or stick it out?

It's frustrating because I have serious credit card debt outside of school (and I'm currently working a job to pay that off and afford to even go to school) and I'm a STEM major where it requires serious life dedication to even get good grades on important classes. For the past couple of years, I've been getting mostly Cs because I never have enough time to put more work and effort to do better due to work and occasional family problems. It sure as hell doesn't help that a C hurts your GPA, which makes it extremely difficult to get any internships that demand at least a 3.0 minimum.
