#EqualPayDay a story about me having to fight for my equal pay
I worked in a grocery store- hourly employees were union contract and salary management were not part of that and were subject to company pay scale and bonuses

When I moved into salary position, I had been with the company a few years, and I had just finished my college degree (this is supposed to get you more money)
They hire right out of college no experience guy and we work in the same store -I am training him

Moron leaves his check stub on our shared desk and I see he is making a cool 6K more a year than me and got a sign on bonus. I make a copy and start my fight with my store manager who tells me it isn't him or his problem.
Go to district manager who tells me -"Is it a good idea to ruffle feathers in a new position" I explain I am not new and I am training the person who is getting paid more than me so I plan to see out legal help.
2 weeks later I get a raise of 7K a year and a bonus and moved to the worst store in the district, 6 months later that store had all improved numbers and was out performing 4 other stores, and I got a promotion.
