As a former employee of the place where Phoenix works... I'm not surprised she is STILL not getting supervisor pay.
They pay practically minimum wage - heck, when the minimum wage went up, they considered that my "raise".
This place has a long established pattern of HORRIBLE treatment of employees. Sexism runs rampant, employee discontent is ever-present. The parking lot is 4 blocks away - yes, female employees get to walk 4 blocks at MIDNIGHT through a not-so-nice part of town to get to their cars. Alone. The parking passes go the manager and the full time male staff, if they get handed out at all.
You don't get breaks. If you do happen to be lucky enough to get a break, you're expected to eat as fast as you can so you can get back to work.
Honestly, anything is better than the shitehole that is... that place. It really is a shame.
Oh, did I mention they don't offer benefits? And that the highest paid employee there does *nothing*, pumps breast milk all day (we're talking every 20 minutes, for 20 minutes - then stores it in the employee fridge next to OUR FOOD), and takes two weeks off during the ONE time of year when she actually has a job to do?
Oh man... I could go on and on about that job......
Before I quit, I was in the same position as Phoenix, sort of. I opened the store, and was the AM "supervisor" - yet, I got no supervisor pay, and no recognition of my supervisory position. It was horrible, we were understaffed in the mornings, I'd have lines of customers *to the door* - customers getting mad, customers leaving - because it was JUST ME in the first three hours of work, and usually I had piles of work that the night crew had left for me.
Did I mention that I'd work until 8pm or so, then have to be back to open the store at 6am? Major suckage.
The manager is psycho religious, and thinks that women are inferior to men in every way... and it shows.
GAWD... I'd leave work *every day* seething mad. It makes me angry just thinking about it. GRRRRR...... :madgo:
