She knew exactly when we were moving, so why did I waste my time? Besides that, I was placed in a studio that I had to drive over an hour to get to from my house, when there was a studio about 5 minutes away from where we got a house. I was also promised a cost of living raise when I moved, I was only making almost $8 an hour from my last studio, and I was told that I was going to get $9 an hour, I was pissed when I found out that all new associates start out at $8 an hour and when they have completed the wgtp training, they get the $1 raise......and I had been working for this company for 4 years and these people are here for 6 months and make the same as me...<BR/>Anyways, I finally got my promotion when I had a fit about gas prices. But the whole reason I never got the original position was cause the DM didn't like me...Needless to say this person no longer works for the company...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1487903560605549635.post-11495343225304652122008-12-07T10:54:00.000-05:002008-12-07T10:54:00.000-05:00I think this is a common tactic in studios- associ...I think this is a common tactic in studios- associates are led to believe they might be promoted, and it leads to a very competitive atmosphere. And who do you think benefits from that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1487903560605549635.post-70788050166402176502008-12-07T09:30:00.000-05:002008-12-07T09:30:00.000-05:00Our Assistant manager was Fired in January.

Of course i said OK. <BR/><BR/>As soon as she was gone, i started working the long hours and doing some of the duties. My husband even had to switch to 3rd shift so i could work more. <BR/><BR/>They didnt promote me and give me my whopping $1.50 raise until JUNE. Six months Later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
