Re: Re: Pay (Am I getting screwed)

The best way to determine if you are being screwed is to go out and find another job and see what they offer. I once worked at an association where everyone felt they were underpaid. Given that I had interviewed, I knew that they were not. True they were getting paid a lot less weekly than many of their peers in other places, but we had 35 hour work weeks while everyone else worked over 40. So per hour, we were paid more than most. Look for another job, that will let you know where you stand. Paul Jason Soza wrote: > Sorry, I DO have to say that $75US for three 8-hour (assuming lunches) > days per week is EXTREMELY crappy pay.
