[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1081032, member: 42270"] [b]Re: Appling for Part-Time Supervisor?[/b] My building regularly promotes kids that haven't gone through puberty yet because being a PT supervisor is the ultimate scam more senior employees aren't willing to buy. You'll get a modest pay bump - which, for a new hire like you - is pretty good. You'll be making $15-16/hr and salaried @ 27.5 hours/week.
