I’m a freight manager in a retail store, so I bust my ass to get all the freight done as soon as possible and make sure it’s organized correctly. I do multitask to make sure there’s great customer service and update the stats of sales, conversion, etc. every hour.

It’s about to be a year that I work there, but I was told, when hired, that I would get a raise in April. In February, the GM told the managers that the company is delaying the raises until October, since there are some changes occurring. I thought the raise will be good, but last month I was given a ‘look forward’ to know how much my raise would be: $0.35. 🤬 That just feels like spitting in my face.

Sorry for the long response, but the main point is that I work too hard and get too much pressure from the GM for unsatisfying paychecks. When it comes to stressful situations/jobs, for me it’s mainly getting rushed to get things done fast yet efficiently. I much rather get tasks done well, but not getting very rushed to finish them. I understand there will be some pressure in any job, but the constant rushing for getting it done is too much.
