And you still won’t get a raise. You will just be lucky if the boss doesn’t just remind you about how hard times are, how fortunate you are to have ANY job, how you can always go to work at McDonald’s for $15/hour if you don’t like it here, how he DID let you leave 1/2 hour early on Christmas Eve, etc., etc.
Blah, blah, blah - he’s still the boss. Period.
