Last August I got my first job at Jimmy Johns in downtown Charleston making $7.75/hr. After four months of being refused a raise I got a job making $10/hr. at a movie theater. Now I just got hired as a service advisor at a local Nissan dealership making $36K a year plus commission. I went from making $270 every two weeks to making $1,500, and I only went to college for three months.

The thing is that while hard work helped me excel at my jobs, the real reason I got to where I am is because I know the right people and I had the attitude where if I wasn't moving up then I needed to move out. Now I've got a career I'm going to enjoy, I play bass in a punk rock band, and I'm going to be completely emancipated from my parents—all this in the span of six months.

So yeah, life is going great. I may not make six figures but I'm also not grinding my youth away in a four-year institution living off my parents' teat. Feels good man.

So yeah, how's everyone else doing?

Excuse me, I'm full of dog poison
Still making $8.10 an hour, feels Batman.

That's pretty cool. But why would you expect a raise after a couple months at jj's? Usually it's 6 months you get a raise in fast food

I was promised a raise when I learned how to bread start, then the bar was raised to being able to help open and close the store, then to managing catering orders, etc.

I wasn't getting anywhere anytime soon.

In the future, if anyone ever promises a raise like this, ask for it in writing.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
$7.75 is still a salary
No, it's hourly pay.

Add up the hourly pay and it's a salary.
No, it's a yearly income.

Being an hourly employee and a salaried employee are totally different things. Salaryfags get their base pay for that pay period no matter how little or how much they worked. No overtime, and unless it's stipulated in your contract, no compensation for coming in on emergencies.

That's a common incorrect usage of the word.
