Question by ♥TacySay♥ 12/18/08: Equal Opportunity…?
I spent 6 months training for shift supervisor position to fill in the spot of the previous supervisor who was fired for theft. “He” was paid over 10 dollars an hour. I got approved and passed all my tests and spent a month at supervisor position at minimum wage. I kept confronting my boss about the pay raise that came with this position and he agreed to have it done. Well, I found out yesterday he got my raise. At 8.25 an hour! An 89 cent raise! Is this legal for them to do? To pay me 2 dollars less than the guy that had the same responsibilities?
I’m not wrong about his pay. He told me what his pay was.
Their raises don’t equal that much. Their raises are around 8 cents per shot. He was 25 yrs old. He didn’t work there long enough for that amount of raise. And besides I work harder than he did. All he did was stand at the desk and talk on his phone.
Either way, Thanks for the opinions. I feel cheated regardless. /shrug
That was my plan exactly O H 
What do you think? Answer below!
Time to find another job.
They are not serious or are not taking you seriously. At that rate you should be able to find something comparable or paying more than what you are making now.
What I would do is this, get another job lined up, and when I get another job, put my 2 weeks notice in… If your current boss says he will give u a raise, get it in writing and you then decide if youre going to stay or not… being on 2 weeks notice, if he does not follow through you have a new job and they are SOL finding another mananger.
Technically you where not supposed to know what he was making. How long did he work as supervisor? Did he get any yearly or quarterly raises after promoted. You probably need some more info before you complain. Who knows, maybe thats why he stole from the company. Ha

It is legal, but it needs to be well-justified. In other words, maybe the guy that got fired had much more experience, or maybe he has been with the company long enough to where he received several raises.
However, if you can come up with proof that your boss is cheating you based on sex alone (or sex + race + religion or whatever), then you would have a case.
how do you know it had anything to do with him beng a man?
It could be longevity with the company, prior employment, skill levels, all sorts of things. Also you could be very wrong about what his pay was.
To assume that it was because he was male is very sexist, Shame on you.
