<prompt> Human: Hello everyone, Im not so sure if this is the right subreddit for the advice I am seeking, but if not please guide me through to the right one.Im 18. I went straight out of high school and on to work at a dental clinic to save up for travels overseas.The workplace is poorly managed, but since it offers great pay compared to the money my peers were making at their jobs I took up the offer right away.They offered me 18hour for the first 3 weeks, 20hour for the next 3 weeks then 22-24hour for the weeks that followed, depending on how much I able to do at the time, as they were hoping I could also start being a dental assistant as well as a receptionist.I told them I would be staying on for August or September this year, although my plans were unsure yet.During this interview it was made clear that I shouldnt be discussing my rate with anyone else in the clinic though, which was odd. I should have seen this coming though, as they always forgot to give me the pay rise when it came time to, and refused to pay the difference that they owed me as the paperwork would be too difficult, or that was the excuse.After around 3 months though, my pay has been at 22. The practice manager has said that my pay would be raised again in a couple weeks time, as she was acknowledging my fast progress in learning dental assisting. I had been assisting the dentists by myself for around 2 weeks at this point.Then, I had to amend my plan and get some flights that left for July, due to things that came up here and there.I let one of my collegues know, which eventually found its way to the practice manager.The last few weeks though, has been quite eventful here at our clinic as one of our branches has just been sold and one is about to close down. I decided to focus on getting other things in my life sorted, before bringing up the payrise again. Which, I did today. And I recieved this reply from the manager:OP, you are leaving us. I was expecting you to leave at the end of the year which was what you told me at our interview. You went ahead and book your tix for July. Thats a total of 6 months. I have already raise your pay twice during the last 4 months! Dont you think that is reasonable on our end? Considering you are now putting us at a position for having to look for someone else to replace you? I find that is very inconsiderate of you to even have the audacity to ask me for another pay rise. Please let me know if Im not being reasonable here.Now, there are a bunch of things to let you know:1. 2 out of 3 clinics that I am working at are closingbeing sold. I will not be working there after July even if I was staying, as July would be the day they officially stop operating. This means all staff will be cut down, no need to even hire new people when so many will be fired already. But this is a sensitive topic to bring up to her. This topic makes her ashamed to talk about in front of the employees, and she even pretends that none of this change is happening although we are already telling patients we are shutting down. Its nonsense but I dont want to argue this if I can avoid it.2. I didnt tell her that I was leaving at the end of the year, I told her it would be September or August most likely and end of the year if things didnt work out. 3. My pay is significantly smaller than most people working there. Another employee there gets paid 30 hour, and most get paid mid20shour. Im not the most experienced, but I can do the same jobs other people do with the same result. BUT the manager doesnt know that I know this. She probably doesnt want me to know at all let alone argue with her about it.What should I say? I really need the money, as I have been budgeting with the idea that I would be getting a pay rise.TL;DR My boss keeps on refusing me to get a pay rise, I dont want to let her know that I know the underground situation in the workplace but I want the payrise that was promised. Help?  <response>: To be quite honest youre lucky to still have a job.
