Hate to be like that, but this is sometimes the only way the business understands. If they really understood the problem, they'd pay you more. They'd find a way. They'd negotiate with you.
As with the rest of inflation, your wages will raise. The Perennial Gale of Creative Destruction can not be denied.
For what it’s worth, my current job is doing a work bonus scheme right now that seems to be a trial run for a wage hike. If you get your minimum hours worked, you get an extra $2/hour on top of normal pay (I am sure it is a coincidence that such a hike would put us back on par with other jobs in the area).
And like I said, the only thing holding me back right now is my own personal ethics and morals. I know this, and know that any negatives to that are my cross to bear. But if we make it through busy season and the situation hasn’t improved, then I am going to start seeing if I can negotiate or if I am going to find greener pastures.
How will they know if you don't quit?
