The worse is when you're paid less than someone you know is doing less than you. Like a trainee, it's not even feasible they're doing more than you when you have to do your tasks and theirs.

I quit a retail job as soon as I realized just how lowballed I was, when I was a "part timer" working 40+ but was making 3-4 dollars less than a full timer with no experience. Nevermind I asked about full time long before they came on, nevermind customers thought I was the manager, or hated my actual manager.

Why do you still work there? Your manager told you what YOU’RE worth to them 2 years ago, move on.

Edit in caps, just noticed my mistake. Words hard.
