...on my lunch break at home right now...I started working and things seem to be going smooth...except that I still dont know what these people are paying me. I had one interview, and I figured that salary would be discussed on the second interview...which i thought would be today...But here I am, working away, with no idea what I'm being paid.

Talk about a lack of motivation.
Jam out with your clam out.

    youd better cut your lunch short & go talk to someone,...quickly.

    thats the thing. there is no HR department. There's like 5 other people in this office.

    It seems weirder, though, NOT to ask. I wouldn't do a fucking thing until that was clear to me! :D

    And if you think it seems weird to have to ask now, wait until the end of the week when they realize they forgot to tell you what you're gonna make, and then they realize that you hadn't asked until that point....lol.

    Sounds like they might rip you off.
    What line of work is it?
  • edvedder913edvedder913 Posts: 1,810
    what kind of job is it?

    before you started didn't you ask the hiring manager what the salary was?

    very odd....

    Just ask the person who interviewed you. They will 100% understand that you have to ask.

    i'm selling ad space for community newsletters.

    it's not as glamorous as it sounds.

    I'm starting to think that they are just in the "thinking" stage. Like they're not sure if they're actually gonna hire me.

    I hope they dont.

    then stand up in the middle of the office and at the top of your lung yell "BITCHES GIVE ME MY MONEY!!!" :D

    just ask the person who hired you "hey bill. this is may seem like a dumb question, buy what's my salary?" :)

    Weird. I would most definitely not do another task until I knew three things:

    1.) am I officially hired?
    2.) what will I get paid?
    3.) when will I get paid?

    Brain o' J.Lo's got it right I think. Although the 'test run' might be a requirement for permenant employment.

    When you go back after lunch this boilerroom will have moved and they won't be there anymore. So, you won't need to ask about salary. :)

    Acoustic I'm with you. This is VERY funny. I think it is even funnier that we know about it. If for some reason I did this I would NEVER tell anyone. :):):)
