    It's not not OK to do. You've got more guts than I, that's for sure.

    I know nothing about you, but you deserve it. Get that money.

    If they rescind a raise because you negotiated, that means the workplace is insane and you’d likely already have seen the other red flags elsewhere. If they are remotely normal, the worst you’ll get is a no and you’ll proceed with your offered raise.

    Okay, that makes me feel better! Thanks all. This is the first time I’ve ever asked for a raise at a non-retail job. When I was first hired, I regretted not negotiating for more pay, and didn’t want to feel that same regret.

    Just spotted my first Cybertruck in the wild! My girlfriend is driving us thru New Jersey on our way to PA and it started pouring rain, I hope the Cybertruck doesn’t break down.

  8. Getting involved in the state tenants' union which has had truly remarkable successes including winning a court decision forcing a huge megalandlord to acknowledge the union and engage in collective bargaining in good faith. Super exciting stuff to be involved in at all but they want me to be at a convention at 9am on a SATURDAY?? organizing meetings should be at 1pm or 7pm imo. Granted its like an all day thing and I dont think they care if I'm there all day but based on the schedule it seems like they are doing important stuff early. will be worth, i'm sure

    I ask for a higher raise every year than what they typically give. I've had very little success with this (only once a company said ok) but I've still always been given my original raise

    Tesla put in charging stations up the road from me several months ago and never activated them. I went by the other day and now they're just completely covered up by plastic bags. Not sure what the heck is going on haha

    good point tbh. the third most damning result of the Biden admin (behind abortion rights rescinded and genocide) is the complete and utter failure to bury Donald Trump’s career. They barely even tried.

    Man, I wish I could ask my boss for a bigger raise. My company just sets corporate-wide raises that are based on your performance reviews, ability to meet predefined objectives, and anonymous peer reviews. My boss always tries to give everyone the max he's allowed to, but there's only so much he can do

    cries in tipped employee



    although my new job gives you 7.00 an hour after your 90 day probation period instead of just leaving it at the tipped minimum of 6.15 and call it a day. I guess that’s the nice part of working at a luxury brand hotel in a restaurant created by the most famous chef alive. That and the bennies
