What a slap in the face !!!!

Haley, I would have been pretty upset with a raise like that too! That's not hardly even worth mentioning! I had a friend that got a Christmas bonus of $23 and some cents. I would be embarassed giving a bonus like that! If your husband's work place is like a soap opera I wouldn't blame him for wanting to find another job.

He said he's leaving in March, he's taking the other job he got offered, he said it's about 2.50 more an hour to start.. so i'll be praying that he's not making a mistake by leaving... God will lead him...

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for him. Hope he finds a better job.

Thank you, Janet, i been so upset all week cause of this, hopefully this new company he goes with treats him alot better, he said sometime in March there going to call him, this will be a good move i think cause now he'll be in the Iron's worker Union, and his wages will be up to Union rate, and they can't mess with him if they send him out of town like his company does now.
I acually figured out his raise he go 1/2 percent of his wages = .12 cents
and extra .96 cents a day, an extra 4.80 a week after taxes is 2.88.
that is so frustrating, it wasn't even worth the company doing the paperwork..
I have to stop beating myself up about this and move on... God will lead him, better things are waiting for him, you just have to go out and find them...

You know what they say Haley - one door closes and another one opens.

It sounds like a good thing that he's moving to another job. I have to say that in this economy, having another job to move to sounds like he's got an angel on his shoulder!

I'd let it go if I were you and just assume that it was meant to be.

This other company worked with my husband on a couple of jobs as sub contractors, they wanted Mike years ago, but he never wanted to make the move he was happy then, but this raise really pissed him off. and he has has a family now to think about.. and the way my boy is growing im buying clothes like crazy and there not cheap.... he needs to make this move. i'm just praying every night that its the right one...

Until he's able to start working for this other company, I do have a suggestion. I wanted to stay home with my son so I bought most all his clothes and a few toys from a few months old till about kindergarten at garage sales. Most of them were like new since they usually outgrow them at that age before they wear them out. It really helped on our budget.
