Well, just to update everyone! Things are looking good!
My main concern with this job was the pay, and them taking advantage of me. I do a lot around the office, and don't get any credit for it. Well, when I put my 2 week notice in..... they said "We deny your right to quit!" They actually begged me to stay! They were buying me lunch, and just trying to get me to stay with them.
We sat down and had a discussion, and talked about what they could do to get me to stay with their company. First of all, I told them that I need July 4,5,6 and weekend off (I usually don't have to work the weekend anyway). Simply because July 6 is my birthday, and i'm going out of town! They said "No problem, you can have those days off!" Another thing I was worried about is when we get the baseball cards and I'm going to be needing time off to go get them, etc. They said "No problem, just let me know when you need off and we'll cover for you!" Wheew! Another worry of mine was that I was only getting $10 per hour, no overtime pay. I was working 50+ hours for these people, and doing more than what's in my job description. So, they made me Office Administrator. I went from $10 to $12 per hour (Not bad!). I also told them that I can't promise I'm going to be with them forever, because of the baseball cards I may need to quit later this summer. They said that was fine as long as I give a 1 week notice. They said they didn't know what to do without me! That feels good to hear!

I'm glad they are treating you a little better. Did you say anything about overtime?Originally Posted by mybabyphx

I was happy to get a $2 raise. It sure helps
BTW: Since I put my 2 weeks notice in (which I'm not quitting now!) they have been being SUPER nice to me. They've been buying me lunch, asking ME what time I want to get off work, they let me come into work at 8 today instead of 6... it really helps to put a 2 weeks notice in!
Also, before they had my hours as 7-5 then they switched them to 6-4... well I told THEM that I want it 7-5 again because 6 is too early for me! They said OK!
