Need advice. I manage a location solo but I'm underpaid. I love my job, but others were denied raises. I need more money or I'll have to leave. What should I do?

If others were denied raises I’d be overly prepared when you have that conversation. Assuming they don’t just agree on the spot, maybe ask some other questions if there is a point where raises would happen or clear steps to that. The other part would be negotiations as normal. Make a big list of everything you are taking on, succeeding at, and how you enjoy it, but need the compensation for it.

Document your wins. Like show how you’re managing solo and delivering results. Schedule a meeting with your boss and be clear about needing a raise to stay motivated. If they can’t budge, start quietly exploring other options. Loving your job is great, but respect and fair pay have to come first. Don’t settle for less than you deserve.

Look for another job. Best way to move up and make more money is by changing companies. Even if you ask, the raise will be limited.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
