You are right, but I feel like I'm entitled to at least a couple dollars per hour more. I do a lot for the company. I often work on weekends, work late, deliver product to customers, fix our laser engravers. The problem is, the company is run so poorly and inefficiently, we aren't making a ton of profit. For instance, we pay a woman 30k a year almost to sit around and play Farmville.
That said, there are some perks to this job. If I'm engraving a big order, I can watch Netflix or play an NES emulator at my desk. I would get a lot of flexibility as far as hours and days off, IF I wasn't needed. So it isn't an entirely grim picture, but as a whole, I really am tired of the way things are going here, plus I'm having a tough time as I'm single and living on my own with a car payment and all that stuff.
