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
Congrats on the raise, but I agree that's a really weird way for the director to go about it. I'd have been scared too!

Thanks for this!
