question for you guys, don't feel it deserves a thread.

I got hired on at this company at the paltry wage of $8/hr back in April. No raises until a year, so I got a while. Possibly getting a promotion to supervisor whenever the current one leaves.

But, we just hired a new guy. I'm pretty good friends with him. He's starting at the slightly less paltry wage of $9/hr. Same department, same position, but he started 8 months after me. Should I say something to my manager? Ask him about a raise or something?

You should definitely speak with your manager about a raise, but I would avoid bringing up your friend's rate of pay in the conversation. It's a little unprofessional, and it could be counterproductive. Just focus on why you deserve one without bringing up anyone else. Maybe your situation is different, but my manager would not be happy if I brought up someone else's wages, that shit's not supposed to be openly discussed.

okay, that's pretty much what I figured. thanks snuggles.
 
Yeah seconding snuggles here. Focus on you and why you deserve the raise, and be ready with examples of why. Bringing up a coworker will likely sour things.

Still down. Can't think of many better ways to go out.

Emotions suck. How do you purge them from your body.

Oh yeah, drinking. At least I'm on the right track.

Nah, drinking just makes them worse.

But being alive and miserable is still being better than being dead inside.

"This position has been filled." welp where's the liquor

I'm likely going to lose my job because i was running late for a day i volunteered to work and almost got hit by a car, so i wasn't paying attention to the time, i realized i needed to punch in later on and did the manual punch i needed to do anyways, but there was a difference of half an hour (i thought i came in at 12 and it was 1230) for a job that i've been working on for five months so they thought i was doing time theft. management says they believe me but because people at that store have tried to time theft in the past they have to push it up to corporate, and who gives a fuck about a cashier who's technically at least in numbers that anyone can see, better than everyone else in his position who is part time?

I guess i should drink heavily while looking for a new job

I def have some deep seated issues with committment and other shit. It's hard to process some stuff.

Pettiness, jealousy and insecurity are shitty but essential aspects of the human experience. You can't really control the way you feel, but you can control how you act upon those feelings. Gotta focus on that, no point in being a passiv aggresive dick.
