first of all , I want you to know that I really like working for this company . Do you think I'm doing a good job here ?
neutral
user
well , you are a very hard-worker .
neutral
assistant
I try very hard . The problem is , my salary just isn't enough to live on . Now that I have a wife and a child to support , we hardly have enough money for food and rent .
neutral
user
there are trying times for everyone . What do you propose ?
neutral
assistant
I could really use a 5 % rise .
neutral
user
that's quite a bit . If I give you a raise , I'm going to have to give everyone a raise .
neutral
assistant
listen , if you give me a raise , I'll take on extra responsibilities .
neutral
user
that sounds reasonable . How about this , from now on , you can be responsible for scheduling . That means that if you can't find someone to cover a shift , then you'll have to do it .
neutral
assistant
that's fine . Do I get over-time for any extra hours that I work ?
neutral
user
of course . It's be against the law if we didn't .
neutral
assistant
that sounds good to me . I really appreciate it .
