<prompt> Human: Hey all, I dont know if this is the right sub, but this has been bugging me quite a lot recently...First off, I work an early morning fast food job 5:00am to 2:00pm almost daily, yes I know its fast food but please, hear me out...My boss keeps hiring underskilled workers and starting them out at 8.00 an hour. Ive worked there for 4, going on 5 years now and I JUST got a small raise of .25 cents...bringing me to a grand total of 8.35 an hour...when I started this job, I was at 7.50..so a whole .85 cent raise total in 4 YEARS??? Am I crazy or is that not right? A little info about my job.. Yes, granted its fast food but in those years Ive been working there Ive proved time and time again my worth but I still get 0 to no respect, Im always the go to lackey for everyones job that they didnt do before they left. I know every position and I COULD be a manager but...no, thats not what I want to do...I like the job mostly, because I know how to do everything there and the customers love me and some ONLY come in when Im there. Im not in a position to quit just yet, even though its looking like my only option but...Ive already tried contacting corporate and asking them about getting a FAIR raise, but they could care less about the employees here..and my boss is not a very good one at all so I cant talk to him about any of this because hell just start talking about stupid things and telling me where I need to improve even though Ive been there longer than hes been at the company...Anyways, Im thinking my best option is to quit...but Im just wondering what you all think I should do...???Thanks :  <response>: Dont quit yet. Start looking at better jobs and start applying. You have 2pm-bedtime to look and 2pm-5pm to interview. When you get another better paying job, then quit. Keep making money in the meantime.After factoring inflation youre actually only making about 0.30hr more than in 2014. 8.35 dollars today is only worth 7.84 in 2014 dollars. Why dont you want to be manager?
