Just wanted to get your opinions here.
It's a grocery store(I know, lol) that I've worked at for almost 10 years. I'm currently the assistant manager in a department(again, lol) making a little over $14 an hour. I can do everything the manager can, all the ordering, scheduling, etc. and for a few months last year I ran the department when the boss was on extended leave.
There's no where else for me to climb in the department except to be the manager, and the current one isn't going anywhere any time soon. I expressed before that I was unhappy with the amount of money I make for the amount of work I do. All the store manager would offer me was a sort of "key carrier in training" job where I would be working overnight a couple of nights a week, while still working in the department doing my normal gig... for an extra 25 cents an hour...
Frankly I found this disrespectful. All the work hours and sweat I've put into this place for 10 years and that's the best you can do? I've been stewing over it for a few weeks now and decided I'm going to go to HR tomorrow, tell them all these things with more detail, and let them know I either need a good pay increase working in the department or consider this my 2 weeks notice.
I've already talked to my department boss about this and the boss is hell bent on not getting involved or having my back. So I figure I'll have to do things myself even though I'm sure it will either a) lead to a big meeting involving me, HR, the store manager and my boss, or b) HR will tell me there's nothing they can do and they're sorry to lose me in 2 weeks, or c) fire me on the spot.
What do you guys think? What would you do?
