<prompt> Human: So now that big companies have to raise minimum wage to 12 per hour, should i ask my boss for a raise? How would i approach this?I started my job a month ago and the COO interviewed me and asked for a number for my hourly wage. I was hesitant because i wrote negotiable on the paper, but she kept insisting, so i said around 15 to 20 an hour. This is an entry level administration and HR work so i have two job titles. In the end, i accepted a 15 as my hourly but then i saw that the median pay for my job is almost 17 an hour. Im aware that my negotiating was bad but now i feel that with the increase in min wage and being underpaid, it makes me feel really shitty. I dont want to confront it either bcuz im still a new employee also.Should i just wait after my probation ends and ask or wait longer?EDIT: OMG this post went blast. didnt expect this many response.  <response>: Youre not making less money just because other people are making more. Your value to the company likely hasnt changed, and youre being paid the amount you agreed to. If you wanted 17, you should have negotiated for 17.Like everyone else said - right now is about the worst possible time to ask for a raise.
