"I feel that the pay we receive is a little high for the work we do, although I'm single and haven't moved out so perhaps my perspective is a little warped. I started out at $11/hour and over the course of 2 years I gained small raises as a reward for continuing to work with the company. Then minimum wage was raised coincidentally to the exact rate I was making at the time and I'm back to receiving minimum wage."
