Hi everyone. I wanted to see how this would be interpreted by other people... I plan on quitting my job after I come back from my requested days off.
I started working at the current company I work at in September 2015. I was 24 when I started, still in school (majoring in graphic designing), and was paid a whopping $9.50. During my internal review half a year later, my boss and manager gleemed about how awesome I am, how I take initiative (despite knowing nothing about the architectural signage industry), etc... And I got a... dun dun dun. 50 cent raise, lol.
I'm still in school and will be wrapping it up in less than a year. The experience is great, but I have bills, dude. I requested 4 days off to go see my family, and received an e-mail on the first day of my day off. My manager said to "remember" that I was hired part-time, and that I wasn't "supposed to" work more than 30 hours a week... And how it was her mistake for me working more than 30 hours due to the heavy work load that my work is receiving. Uh, okay? It's evident that there is no room for growth and that they do not want to give me benefits, as they have recently switched insurance companies.
I scrape by to pay my bills while going to school with this shit paying job, and I am being taken advantage of. I have never complained at work, either. I find it ironic that the boss also talks about how the company is working to achieve a $4 mil target by the end of this year and how they want to hire another project manager or someone in the art department, and yet they cannot pay me decently. Would it be acceptable for me to put in my two weeks as soon as I return? I don't want to be taken advantage of anymore, and the e-mail clearly says that I am not even worth the fucking $10/hr that I am slaving for
I have stayed this long because I was in hopes of being paid somewhat more. I was trained throughout it all, and they now give me as much work as the other people in the art department.
