Don't be a woman asking this male boss for a raise

Asked for a well-deserved raise, on my one-year anniversary after showing great productivity, attitude and performance. His response? A 72-cent-an-hour increase. I pointed out that I can't afford to continue living in this city unless I make more. He said, "Sexist, I know, but seriously, you just need to find a rich guy."

In his world, single women in their 40's who need to support themselves just don't exist. They're probably all gold-diggers at heart, and why pay them what they're worth when they can prostitute themselves to some sugar daddy.

I've got news for you. 72 cents an hour is pretty damn good for anyone. So don't complain. I'm only getting ten cent raises, and my dad (bless his soul) only got three cent raises. And this is/was per 5 years!

Well your raise was better then mine last yr, .34 cent. Just had my review last wk for this yr, she didn't have a damn good thing to say. Hate to see what this one is. People don't appreciate good emplopyes anymore! Your boss is def. a jerk!
