I do not want to sabotage my job searching by having bad references, because this is the only company I've worked for, and my only reference. I also want them to be aware of why I am leaving, so that they may treat the next person better or change their ways.
I have worked for a family run business since I was 15, I am now 26. From 15-18 I maintained their paper filing system for orders and invoices. I was paid minimum wage of $7.25 working part time and quit at 17 due to no raises.
From 22-26 I needed work, so I rejoined part time at the same pay, doing the same job for the first year. The second year I started doing their bookkeeping as well, because I asked for extra duties in hope of getting a raise as well as because I finished my work too quickly. I did not get a raise, and still finished my work too quickly.. so I tried again. I asked for more work and took over about 70% of the accounts receivable so that the owner had more time with other things. No raise.
In 2018 I started doing about 90% of the accounts payable, which was the owner's daughter's job because she moved away and only logged on remotely a couple times a month and it got backed up. I did everything except credits, which she logged in at the end of the month to enter. I was now getting feeling very used. I asked for a raise. I got one, $8 an hour but I need to work full time now so I can do everything I do. I got benefits like health insurance and pto accrual now.
In 2019 the person who sent tracking information to customers took time away to have a child and I was asked to do it. I asked if this came with a raise, and was told by the boss that he would think about it. The next day I took it over and got a raise. It was now $10 an hour and I was so happy, I felt I was finally being paid fairly!
That is, until I started helping my husband find a job. I then saw entry level positions for ALL of the things I did for more than what I was being paid. I was much less happy again, but I felt some sense of.. I guess loyalty. Plus, I knew all these people. I seemed so scary to pack up and go so I continued working there.
This year i have more responsibilities as we transfer all our data to a new system. I have been helping with data entry, blogs, and bug finding with the new system. No raise but I feel happy to help, I do not like being bored at work as it makes the days go by more slowly.
Last week.. I was doing some shredding and I saw something that fills me with so much rage. My loyalty is underserved. I saw the quarterly payroll for 2018. This is when I took over as accounts payable for the owner's daughter. She was being paid $35 an hour while I did her work. I was being paid $8. I was the lowest paid employee, by a huge margin. I felt so sick, I used my PTO to leave a couple hours later. I feel so used, I just cried.
So, I will be job searching soon. I keep trying to type a two weeks notice up, but I just can't. I'm too disgusted, yet I want them to understand. I know me leaving will greatly impact the company. The new system is still having trouble, the boss will be swamped doing everything I took from him to lighten the load, and the busy season is upon the company. I do not want to sabotage the only reference I have.
How can I get the point across?
How do I go about this?
Also.. despite everything I do, they have my job labeled as "Office Assistant." When looking at office assistant jobs online, the descriptions aren't things I do. I don't make calls or schedule things. When prospective jobs call for reference would this be a deterrent? I worry they'll think I lied on my resume. I know that one thing I shouldn't do is talk badly of my previous employment if I get an interview. How can I explain why I left?
I am very scared I will sabotage my reference, among other feelings..
Thank you.
