What a slap in the face !!!!

Oh i am so mad right now, i just got off the phone with my husband, and he called his office to inquire about his yearly raise. and he got a whopping 1/2% raise...
Oh my God... The payroll clerk said it was in last pay, i guess we didn't even notice the extra 1.00 a week he got..
He said come spring time he's getting out of there...
I just need to vent.. He was with that company for 13 years, he didn't get a raise last year cause they moved him up to a foreman and gave him a nice raise and all the extra work and working weekends and out of town this is the thanks he gets.
I told him to this is the last time he is going out of town for this company, let them find another person to go, tell them you have a family now and can't go..
Oh i am so mad right now i can just scream......

and working weekends and out of town

I'm a little confused...as usual...lol. Does he love his job? Wasn't the promotion a good thing? Things are tight with everyone almost everywhere. I do hope you can be happy with what you have now...maybe a higher raise will be coming soon.

Sorry - he did get moved up with the company but he was also promised a raise at the end of the year to, so last year he didn't get a raise and this year he only got 1/2 %. which is a slap in the face, knowing that your boss is putting a million dollar addition on to his already million dollar house.. So i don't think his boss is suffering to much... He does love his job, but i think it is time to move on, he was already offered a job come spring time making a couple dollars more an hour, so say a pray for us, that he makes the right choice...

I sure will pray for you both! It's hard knowing exactly what direction to go. Has he talked with his boss about this? Never know it might help....nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Yes he did talk to his boss, it's his boss's wife that does the payroll.. the place where he works is like a soap opera, his boss's wife is all pissed off because her Husband (my husbands boss, the owner) was just caught with one of the secretary's. and that's why his wife is getting a million dollar addition on there house, and he also bought her a new Jaguar.. Must me nice, i guess he's kissing her butt so she don't leave him cause she'll get 1/2 the company, that's probably why everyone got a crappy raise.. it all went to the wife this year... its a soap opera... crazy.. i want him out of there... I did have to laugh a little that was a very expensive piece of a**. Hope that secretary was worth it... i guess this stuff happens more often than people think...

It sounds like a sitcom! I will be praying that he ends up in the right place.
