Asking for raise

>thinking about asking for a raise

Let your boss know that your bills are stacking up and that may have an opportunity through a friend for a higher paying landscaping job but would prefer not to leave as you like the restaurant and the way it's being managed. Ask him if there's anything else you can do for the restaurant for a possible pay increase because you're struggling to get by.

Also just read that you started working there a week ago. This probably won't work then. In order to get a raise as a dishwasher you'll have to learn a new skill fast or work there for at least a month before anyone could consider giving their dishwasher a raise.

How does this not make sense? If people are leaving due to the job being too hard, wouldn't it make it easier by asking for a raise on the grounds
a) being much better then any new hires
b)not quitting in the middle of a work week due to job being shitty

What kind of new skills do you think would improve my chances?

>>1263958
I currently hold 3 positions at 3 different companies and I work those 3 jobs from home (remotely). The lowest rate of pay I receive is $42p/h, the highest $152p/h, and average would be about $75p/h

Resulting cabin fever, I wanted to get out of the house for a few hours each day so I applied for and was accepted to a part-time job at a local bank as a teller. Pay was $11.50p/h and so my take-home pay for 2 weeks of that role was less than I earned in 1 day when I finished my shift and came home to do my 'real' work.

What's my point? I knew that sort of job was only worth $11.50p/h. You need to figure that out for your job.

Cooking and expediting

You may not realise it, but you just tried to convince us that you are worthy of the raise with your post. Just bee honest and go straight to the point, just like you've done here, with your boss. If you fail, walk away (if you want). As far as I can tell, the opportunity cost is just too high. I wish you the best of luck :)

a good dishwasher is the backbone of a restaurant. Most guys I know who are lifers demand 20-25$ US. but these guys work fast

get a job that pays you as much as you invest in it

I understand what you're saying is, find how much you're worth to the company and then use that as leverage. If I'm necessary to this restaurant and worth more then minimum wage, then they won't mind paying me a premium.

>wash dishes for $11.25/hr
>complains he's not paid enough for an unskilled labor position that takes all of 30 seconds to train someone new to do
You will not get a raise. Find a new job where you must use your mind if you want more money

Why should I settle for lower wages when my colleagues, who are lazy as fuck, get paid $4-5 more to do a shittier job?

Honestly, the "just move on..." comments are so fucking stingy and defeatist they're almost Jewish.

If you're even thinking about walking you have absolutely zero worry about being let go, so fucking ask.

Most employees are shit and seriously overestimate their own worth... (and how low the value is of everyone else.) But... if you're confident you're as good as you think you are, just fucking man up and say it. Hey, I'm better than these guys. In just the short time I've been here I already hold this motherfucker together. Let's talk compensation if you expect to keep me...

The absolute worse that can happen is he tells you to go fuck yourself, and you walk. On the spot. That you need to be prepared for. Negotiation means nothing if you're going to put your tail between your legs and slink back to work.

Thanks man, already got a few job interviews lined up for the next few days, hopefully something materializes.

Thing about working in these tourist trap areas (Niagara Falls), is that management everywhere is so shit. All the good people leave in these places and all your left with is lazy high school kids and >40 yr old lifers

you shouldn't ask for a raise a mere week into the job, cause they can easily replace you as quick as they hired you. Just keep working hard and if you don't work in a shitheap of a place, they'll raise you without you having to tell them.

This only works in your favor if what your do is skilled labor and it would cost them to have to retrain someone new.

I'm guessing it only takes half a day to learn the ropes (also worked as a dish washer, but wasn't a bitch about it) and policies of the job. so that comes to less than $50 training cost. If they bumped your pay $1 in less than 1 week you cost more than to just rehire.

Not to mention the fact that since you're a double-nigger you'll go blabbing to the other workers who will expect pay raises costing them even more.

So in conclusion, you should totally go for it OP. I'm sure it will work in your favor.
