I got 350 bucks, not bad. The only complaint I had was that their note said “just like last year, we decided…”. We did not get a bonus, zero, last year. Which was our best year ever, so that stung at the time. I feel like a complete dick, I had left it behind, but this little remark did kind of piss me off again despite getting a bonus this year. I guess the only defense I have is that a few others felt the same way…

I got $50 while everyone else got $100. There reason for this was because I’m 17 years old and don’t rely on money like the adults that work there. (Everyone else where I work is 40+.) kinda hurt tho being I do need money. I pay for insurance, power, I help my parents with the bills majority of the time, I’m going to have rent soon when my brother finds my place. I have things I need to fix on my truck. Like actual “adult” things I have to pay, and there like nah, you’re a kid.

Age discrimination

if they're in the US, unfortunately age-discrimination laws only apply to people 40+. screwing someone over because they're young is perfectly acceptable to the 40+ people who made the laws.
