-- Posted by feeltheshane at 9:54 pm on July 20, 2009 I have this little side job which involves me picking an 8 year old boy from school, giving him afternoon tea, helping him with his homework, and then kicking a ball around with him or whatever till his mum arrives to pick him up after work at 5. I like helping her out, and giving him someone to look up to, but I honestly think I deserve a payrise. I earn $2.50 below the minimum wage per hour. How do I ask her to pay me more, without sounding like an asshole? Is it as easy as saying, "Hey. Could you pay me the minimum wage at least?" I dunno. I don't want to be too straight forward as I know they struggle with finances etc. -- Posted by imSOFAKINGrad at 9:55 pm on July 20, 2009 payraise* -- Posted by DJ Josh at 9:55 pm on July 20, 2009 "Gimme yo money bitch!" -- Posted by Wunarmdscissor at 9:56 pm on July 20, 2009 5$ an hour is good for babysitting. -- Posted by The Pollster at 9:57 pm on July 20, 2009 Get on your knees and smile like a donut. -- Posted by DrunknMunky14 at 9:57 pm on July 20, 2009 Quote: from Wunarmdscissor at 2:56 pm on July 21, 2009 5$ an hour is good for babysitting. a few of my friends would earn 10/15 bucks an hour when babysitting... 5 bucks is CRAP!!!!
