Last week I asked for a raise. I have never done that before. I asked for way more than I thought I would get. Anyways, they gave me a little less than what I asked for, but they did give it to me! I was really surprised, and glad I didn’t have to job hop.

I’m so bad at this. The fear of losing my job is so ingrained that I often feel like I’m frozen in place hoping to keep my head down and work enough so I don’t end up homeless.

Living in the US is fucking awesome /s

I should push for a raise soon though. It’s been too long and I’m feeling the pinch with rising costs!

    I remember reading a while back that one person asking for a raise can be fired, but two or more people together asking for raises is considered collective bargaining and is protected under the law?
