[QUOTE="jco1385, post: 4328615, member: 580487"] let me explain how i got this job... see what had happen was: i was in the army and was discharged. came home and was home for about a month, then a friend of my dad says the store where his brother works is needing a forklift driver/warehouse guy. so i jump on this at $8.50/hr and fully impress the owner by organizing his whole shit in the warehouse. the current estimator at the time was on his way out to go to a different company. the owner, knowing i know about computers and electronics and stuff, asks me if i want to "move upstairs". He explains the job and i'm fuggin stoked at this offer! so i have no idea what i'm doing to start. the old guy was NOT a good teacher, so i taught myself this whole program basically. i've been putting out bids left and right and landing way more jobs than the old guy. i get bumped to $10.50. (mind you i have no idea of this jobs worth). i keep doing the same thing, and here i am 2yrs later @ $11.50. i know i deserve more, but like stated above he has helped me out of a few VERY tight spots. i would feel very uncomfortable asking him for a raise at this point because i actually owe him a couple grand from previous mishaps. whats the best route. sorry for the life story, lol [/QUOTE]
