Get a job in desperate times. start at 8.75 while working another job already.

Ask for a raise so you’re not stuck working the old job you hate after a promotion offer by them. 

Get 9.64. Get promoted. it becomes 10.00. 1 year in its 10.30.

Bust your ass in gratitude. Work 2x harder than everyone else. Your old manager gets replaced by an asshole so you get fed up and leave.

On your last day you learn the minimum wage was raised to 10.00$ even last summer and you were working like a dog for 30 cents above minimum wage and no effort was made to push your position up to compensate. Not even 50 cents.

I literally feel like a defeated fool right now. I don’t know why I felt like i should be proud. I was actually rank 825 out of a company with over 30,000 employees in sales. and at LEAST 4000 of them were in a position where sales was the core priority.

I was selling, and making more money for them than 29,175  other people. and of my position, roughly  3,125 others.

only for 30 cents above minimum wage.

I won reward signup contests, several contests at that for extra money which was ok. But wow… I fell for the accountability and encouragement lingo. while getting barely anything in return.

I’m way above average. I just wish i could use everything i know in a way to really make money for -me-. 

I can’t trust these fucking rich dumbasses to know my worth.

Felt like randomly updating this.

I came back to this job  2 years ago after leaving. The job i left for was a toxic piece of trash. So here i came back between my tail between my legs

Except as part time. I demanded i stay part time. I refused to do any more than that.

Also, i proceeded to do 100%. I didn’t slack. I never gave in. My value continued to show. Eventually the person who had my position left and they -begged- me to take it. I refused. I wanted to move up in life.

i held this stance. What did they do? they ACTUALLY created a part time version of the position just so i could fill it. It was basically a raise to do the same shit i was.

I agreed. 

Show AND Know your fucking worth.

Months went on, and finally they cracked. They sat me down and put a wage offer directly on the table to get me to go full time. The raise was considerable enough to be worth the bullshit.

I agreed. 

Know and show your fucking worth.

After some brutal months that manager left, i didnt enjoy it but i was getting paid enough i was getting somewhere financially.

A few grueling months later im promoted yet again; 16$ hr. And with a schedule that doesn’t suck as much.

If i tolerated the pay i was getting then before i left i’d likely still be getting paid the same. If i never left, they never would have realized how important/good i was at a job no one rly wants to stick around for and that i really would leave again if i didn’t get treated right.

It also took a lot of other factors too, like a manager so awful half the store left putting them in a desperate position. I also lacked competition. So my own actions didnt matter as much. However my point still stands.

Be an asshole to people who don’t pay you enough, and always do what you can to get yours.  Not everyone deserves your convenience.

I’m not settling still either, i need and will get more. Ill find an even better fit in due time.

I’m fighting my way up. Day by Day.

I moved!

Hii, ive been inactive cause i moved to a new account for a while. I decided i wanted to be able to message people from my art blog handle rather than my personal.

Also, I really didn’t want the life things i ranted about here to be attached to my new blog. However I realized that vanishing wasn’t really fair to the kind people that heard me out or offered support during them.

To you guys: I thank for you listening/putting up with my problems. And i apologize for rudely vanishing the way i did. My new blog is a lot quieter on that front… and for good reason… my life is a lot more peaceful now. c:

If you guys would like to follow me still, I split my personal blog from my moe blob posting. Since the moe blobbing greatly overtook all the other stuff i post about.

@lunar-rays is my new personal/general neat/funny stuff blog. @solar-shine is where i post about anime/games and where all the moe aesthetic trash goes now.

Most importantly, @solarrays is my new art blog. Take care guys.

Your ass is the only part of your body you’d be fine with just wiping it with paper if you get shit on it. Imagine getting shit on your arm, what would you do?

Dry tissue. Slightly wet tissue. Then another set of dry tissue. Then you know you're clean.
