    Re: I got a pay rise.

    Did you threaten to take the whole shift with you? Did they have any idea that you were doing it, or was if a bluff ?

    Nice one, considering what you have done for your boss .I think you deserve a payrise and commission.

    Re: I got a pay rise.

    Basically I work in a call centre, booking taxis and getting lots of grief from them.

    Well the rest of the people let me down because I wanted a £1 an hour rise but he offered 50p first and the other people said they were happy with that straight out, kinda loosing me power in getting the whole £1 .
    As for did they know yea definitly. There would have been no thought of a rise unless I'd said I was gonna stop working Friday & Sat'day shifts (which are the busiest and no-one wants to do them).
    Mind Friday & Sat'days used to be at a higher rate but last time the minimum wage went up the other shifts were rose to the same rate and the Friday & Sat'day weren't raised ....and I've eventually got sick of it. Mainly caused by that I did a favor for them the other week and worked from 5 sat night till 7 on sunday morning, and for this I was only given £5 extra, which is basically the same as the bonus the regular guy gets. But they knew fine well I really didn't want to do it but did for a favor.

    I'm making a booking system for them though and now they will be getting a bit more of a surprise when the price is mentioned .

    Re: I got a pay rise.

    We Americans call it a pay raise. Sounds funny when you call it a pay rise. When we demand a raise, our supervisors and managers tell us to "raise this" and gives us the finger.

    There are other methods of getting a raise if ya know what I mean but I'm not gay and think that's disguisting

    Re: I got a pay rise.

    My increase starts Monday. I'm hoping to get $12 an hour (currently making $10.60) but unfortunately it's probably gonna be less than $12 cause my manager goes cheap on people. But that isn't bad money for a production welder at my age. I normally work 10 hours a day, 4 days a week, Mon - Thurs, but since the factory has been so busy lately, I have to work on Fridays for mandatory overtime. Sometimes they have me come in at 6 or even 5 in the morning, and sometimes have me work on Saturdays as well. I get $15.90 working overtime. It's damn good money and all but man, they are killing me!!! It's a good thing I'm getting anywhere between $400 - $500 a week, and that is with my 401k. If I didn't have my 401k, I'd be making even more money. I'm putting 10% in my 401k.

    It helps if you can find a way to blackmail all the members of the Human Resources Department. A contact in the CCTV room can be most helpful if you buy him a few beers every now and then.

    Same here!

    You should have, with a new laptop you could have set up a WebPage and ask people for tsunami donations. That way you could have raised even more!
