Hey y’all, I’m a warehouse worker in Illinois, when I was hired on I was promised $17.50 an hour. I got access to the employee self service recently to find out these past 4 months I’ve been getting paid $17. Now I don’t have any actual on paper proof of this but I remember very clearly thinking , “$17.50, hey that’s just a dollar less than my girlfriend who’s already in the field, neat!” And I’m a little miffed about this discrepancy, because I know it probably happened because my department manager is scatter brained.

I don’t need any legal advice or rallying cries here. I just wanna know cause I already sent him an email saying I found this, this isn’t what I was told, can I come over to your building later and talk about this? How should I broach this? Obviously I want to start with friendly energy but stay stern that this is not the rate I was told I would be getting. Thoughts?

    Happy to put a positive spin on that for you if you’d like 😅

      Oh trust me it’s super nice cause I can hide from management but it’s annoying when a. I need to take care of work documentation shit or b. They straight up go home early and forget to tell us
