Started at a new company along with 4 other guys. Couple of weeks into work, on the first pay day, one of the other new guys grabbed me and said we’re only getting paid 80% of what we thought, and showed me his check. I get my check, sure enough, only 80%. We talked to the other 3 guys, same thing. We march into the office and ask WTF, get told it’s company policy that new hires start at 80%, increasing by 5% every 6 months. I was about to politely ask, “So I’m not going to make what I thought I was for 2 YEARS?” But one of the other guys beat me to it, in a much rougher fashion. Yes was the answer. The shite hit the fan, yelling, screaming, threats, ect. 3 of the other guys quit very loudly and walk out the door. Manager tells me and the other guy to hang tight, he’s going to call the boss. Comes back, says they’ll bump us up to 90% today and 100% in 6 months if we stay. Better than nothing we figured, so we stayed. Both of us found different jobs within a couple months, place was nothing but lies and deception.
