#I guess they are a cashier and I’m a warehouse worker so for some reason it’s fair

How do I ask for a raise and also how much of a raise is appropriate

#I make $14 an hour but minimum wage is $7.25 but I DO live in one of the poorest areas of America #however other similar jobs in my area pay $15-25 #I’ve been here almost a year #also I’ve been doing so much shit outside of my job duties. I’m not even talking about learning the other departments or helping them. #I mean like. floor machine repair. training new employees. training the goddamn reps for shits sake #I think a $1.00 isn’t too much to ask for and honestly I think $2.00 isn’t either. but #found out that a co worker who’s been at my job for SEVEN years and knows the goddamn store by HEART is only making 50c more than me #I guess they are a cashier and I’m a warehouse worker so for some reason it’s fair #I would give them a 25% raise at LEAST if I was in charge though #idk :/ I don’t wanna piss of my bosses lol. I have been doing badly about being on time lately too #but that’s cos health stuff so it’s not like I DONT care #and it doesn’t negate the fact that i do so much more than I’m supposed to do for $14 an hour #so far my strategy is: stop doing all the little stressful shit that no one notices anyways #it’s been so fun to do that for the past few days #I just watch a problem grow and grow and grow until it’s a big problem and then management deals with it #which I hate because management is also underpaid. but. so am I. and it’s not my job to take care of another department’s hazardous waste. #or to answer the phone for other departments. or to train reps. or care about the floor machine getting clogged. #i ignore problems now and then they get too big to ignore #and they take WAY more effort to fix than if I had taken care of them to start with #but goddamn we are so understaffed. I’m already being 2-3 people. I can’t be a manager too. as much as I’ve been trying to help. I gotta #stop because no one notices and I don’t get paid for that shit #sorenhoots #but I wanna take care of the stuff 3: I just need to get paid for it
