I've only been there 2 1/2 months!! So I don't feel like I have the right to be asking for more money already when I accepted the job knowing the salary was so low. It was a mistake, as I said in a post after I read this one.
They just took out way more taxes than I calculated and my take home pay is not what I thought it would be. How do I ask for more money after only 2 1/2 months? I have been doing a little researching at other library postions similar to mine and have printed out the job descriptions and the starting pay, all of which are 2 to 3 dollars more an hour than what they started me at. So there is some evidence to support my reasoning. Only problem with bringing those in to the boss is that she'll know I was spending working time on the computer looking up and printing out other jobs! And, she'll know I'm looking around already and I don't want to create bad feelings between us. She is so cool. I don't want to jeapordize our relationship, but I NEED MORE MONEY to live!!! Don't you think 11 dollars an hour for a bachelor's degree position is low, or am I wrong?
