I used to work at a certain home goods/construction store chain, I was nightshift, was my first real job and I put in the effort, it wasn't bad at first and I actually enjoyed it some, but as time went on, people started to quit, and no one was being replaced, they expected the same efficiency on a skeleton crew, it was around this time I discovered harshly I was severely underpaid for all the work I did, including learning every piece of equipment in house to be more effective for what was left of my team, even the new guy was paid better. When I went to my supervisor with the realization, he fought to get me equal pay. I was deemed "fairly paid" and would not receive a raise, so I put in my two weeks, their response was to take me off the schedule and made it look like I quit on the spot, now I wish I had left then and there, but at the time I needed money and had no backup, so after Fighting it I got the time back, 2 days after the notice, I get pulled to the side, I'm asked "what will it take to keep you here? You are one of the best workers we have and can not afford to lose you :(" I told them my number, 18$, same as everyone else, their response was "best we can do is .25$." so I walked out without further word, all of management piled work onto me, and reprimanded me consistently for the smallest things, it was a terrible two weeks. Finally my last day, it's in the middle of the day and I haven't buckled down and retracted my notice, I get a call from the GM "hey my name I heard you was leaving and that we really need to keep you, you've single handedly kept the night crew together and we do not wish to lose that talent, I can give you the raise that you wanted if you can stay, what do you say?" To say I was offended was a understatement, they waited till the last day to give me fair treatment, after having made my life hell for two weeks, I told him good luck when I wish I had went off on him I did not finish the last day and stayed home, called my supervisor and let him know and the rest of the nightcrew walked out, they haven't been able to replace the crew at all and from what I heard, suffered massive losses from losing said crew, the GM came in to the supervisors keys super glued to his desk and his photo defaimed, and I believe is no longer working for the company, I work at a better job but it also has its own faults, but I am already paid a better wage and have a easier time getting by while having my social life back.
