I recently received a raise of just 43 cents per hour at my job as an Assistant General Manager, despite taking on nearly double the workload. This raise follows a pattern where my previous requests for increases were denied, including when the state's minimum wage went up. Currently, I'm making $17 an hour, which is only $2 above minimum wage. My district manager claims that my pay is reasonable since I work over 50 hours a week, with guaranteed overtime for those extra hours. However, I'm starting to question if it's worth it to stay at a company that seems to undervalue my contributions. I'm actively interviewing for other positions, one of which offers $2-3 more per hour but caps at 40 hours a week. This new role also comes with better insurance and significantly less responsibility, being a corporate position instead of a franchise. The pay difference would be about $400 a month before taxes, and while my current role has potential bonuses, hitting targets is often a gamble due to frequent call-outs affecting staffing. Many of my coworkers share my frustration about the low pay for management roles, and I'm torn between the potential bonuses and overtime versus the lack of appreciation from my current employer. Is it worth it to stay in this situation?
