I just got my annual raise at work and honestly, I’m more insulted than happy. After a year of covering shifts, training new hires, and dealing with short staffing, my ‘raise’ came out to $0.45 an hour. I’m now at $25.45/hr, which barely keeps pace with inflation. I know raises aren’t guaranteed, but this just feels like a slap in the face considering everything management praises me for. Have you had a raise that makes you wonder why it was even there in the first place?

Raise? What raise? The only way I’ve been able to get any raise in the past 6 or 7 years is by getting a new job somewhere else.

I got a $0.32 raise once after working Black Friday hell and covering three departments. Management acted like they were doing me a huge favor, but it literally amounted to an extra $12 a week before taxes.

You are not alone in this. I used to work as a supervisor at a retail store and I i earned same as other team members.

Is there available any job for retail industry ?

I worked for a company that gave out 1%-3% annual raises, based off the performance review. Then I worked for a company in Texas, which was in the same industry, but at least felt that they had to give anyone a 25 cent raise, minimum. It would be great if they weren't still starting front employees at under $10 an hour, and weren't paying entry level management much more.
