I don't understand how someone can work for a company for 15 years and never have a raise, be paid minimum wage- up until I recently took on a crew lead position, my pay increased more than minimum wage for the very first time in almost 15 years!!
Honestly, I have worked there so long I do not really recall my original interview well from 15 years ago. However, I did get "promoted" if you can call it that, when I applied to crew lead, they gave me waaaay more responsibility with a very little pay increase.
Caring more for their employees that have given 15 years, worked on holidays, late nights, been on call, all for minimum wage. Then just push that loyal employee to the side when they ask for help with filing for medical time off after a recent hospitalization- that they were made aware
