<prompt> Human: I was hired full time on the 16th of May for an InsuranceAutomotive Company. I was led to believe I would be paid 13 an hour for my position. However, when I was hired the official pay rate was 12 an hour. I didnt think much of it because Im a college student with bills and I thought this was a good opportunity to put on my resume. However, the workload is intense but I havent complained much or thought about it because I figured I would work as hard as possible to prove that Im an asset to the company. For more background information, there are were only 5 people in my unit. My supervisor, a level 2 specialist, me a level 1 specialist, girl A, and girl B. A girl B who was hired a week after I Joined, quit the job. Then girl A handed in her two weeks. That means now its just me, my supervisor, and a level 2 of my position. After Girl A quit and Girl B handed in her two weeks, I was then given both of their workloads on top of mine. Ive been coming in early and late every day to ensure that im dedicating 100 to this job and getting all of my work done. My supervisor on Thursday pulled me aside into a meeting room and told me shes amazed by my work and ethic. She then went on to ask me if I wanted more responsibly and to be assigned to private accounts for our company which is a big thing. I was very excited! And I said yes. As I was about to ask if this meant a change in my title or pay rate, she immediately told me that this doesnt change anything. However, she bluntly told me the work I would be doing would be on par with her and the level 2 responsibilities. She also has delegated me to train all new hires for our unit for the level 1 work.Later that day, girl B told me she gets paid 15 for doing the level one work and all the receptionists make 12 an hour and not to get my hopes of ever getting a raise since they dont do reviews, annual raises, or offer any other incentives. Im confused now on whether I should just hold out on this job for the next year or two, talk to HR, or my other supervisor who is slightly higher in our work place about my rate of pay or to confirm details of the job such as the promotion coming without any benefits.What would be the best course of action to take as Im very conflicted and honestly have no idea what Im doing.Assistant: What exactly do you mean by saying you were led to believe about the pay rate? Is this a full-time position? Internship? Summer work? Sounds like there is some confusion on your end. If you accepted the job knowing that you would make 12hr, then you do the work for 12hr. If talking to your supervisor about increasing your pay based on an increased workload leads nowhere, find a new job. Human: Its a full time job. I was told the potion was 13 by the recruiter and Hr Manager. But when I was hired there was no negotiation just congrats your getting 12 an hour. Then I was told about the promotion on Thursday and without pay increase. Ive done everything from the beginning to keep things clear with them but everything has been messy since the two girls quit.  <response>: Youre getting robbed.You need to massively decrease your responsibility to pay ratio by either cutting back hours or getting a raise to 16. Hell, you were robbed by almost a 8 paycut on day 1. Youve willingly absorbed multiple job roles including training and no you havent proven youre a team player youve proven youre a sucker. Sorry, I know that sounds harsh, but as a college student with classes you pay for and need to focus on to advance your future this is not the environment you need to be in. Trust me, I went through the same, quitting was the greatest feeling ever. I worked 10-10 5 days a week and jam-packed my school in the other 2 days for 9.50hr this was actually a pay-cut promotion because I lost my commission opportunities where i was a top 2 seller every month and averaged over 11hr accounting for that. Threaten to leave - get a pay raise - cut down your hours and constantly look for new work where youll get appreciated. It sounds like you could make the entire branch go bust if you really left. YOU HAVE POWER.
