so earlier at work i was *****ing to one of my managers about my pay rate and how this kid makes more than me but has only been there for a year while ive been there for 3 years. i was just venting. a few hours later the store director comes in to check on some things. he called me into the office. i thought i was in trouble.

i go in there and sit down and he says, so do you have anything you want to ask me? i said umm im unsure of what youre talking about. he said it again, i said uhhh what. he said soooo theres nothing you want to ask me??? i said are you talking about my pay rate?? he said yes!

i said i am just confused about how -coworker- makes more than me. he said thats messed up (that he makes more than me). he said i have been there longer and i do a good job. i dont work a lot though. he said he knows i have other things going on though. i said yes. he said he will put in a raise for me. he gave me a ball park amount. its a nice amount, considering the store and what they pay people. i thanked him. i said i dont mean to ***** behind your back.

the store director is actually on leave for a month, so he couldnt authorize the raise in the system. the manager i initially was *****ing too told me that he is going to contact someone in HR to put in the raise for me. it might take a few weeks.

i was SO SCARED when the store director called me in there and asked me that. i was like oh my god.... im gonna get fired or yelled at.

i think he just wanted to see my reaction??? it was really weird how he went about all of that.

anyway...ill take the raise... and also mind my mouth better
