I have been working at Arbys for two years now and when I first started I made 5.75. And I've been getting raises and was at 6.65 10 months ago. I've been at the rate ever since. I asked for a raise a couple of weeks ago and the boss said I should already be getting one. Well it turns out I now make 6.70 now hell yeah!. I'm pretty pissed off since I took the effort to come in and ask and now that miniumum wage in indiana is like 6.55 I should be making a hell a lot more. I seriously could get a job across the street and make over 7.00 an hour.

Also, the worker that joined about a year after me was making 7.25 and I helped train him. I'm pretty pissed about this too. I'm going to go in tomorrow and talk about all these unfair wages. Also we got 3 new managers who all will be getting raises and thats probably why mine was so low. What should I do?

Ask for a pay raise that is fair for the time and effort you've contributed to the company. If they don't give you what you want, leave.

Put in an application at the other place, and ask for another raise. If they say no, then quit

I get 8.75 an hour ( KFC in Ontario) talk to your manager about it, ask him why people who are new employees are making more then you,


If you can get another job, then get that job, Hold both jobs for a few weeks ( to make sure that you are OK with the new one, and they dont fire you) then quit  Arbys if you want
