Ops specialist- animal care salary seems iffy

So I accepted an ops specialist animal care position from ops generalist. They described it as a “decent raise working the managers schedule” aka full time. The guy before me was making $3 more than what I was at as a generalist but he was also there for some time. Idk how long. But when I got promoted I only got 50¢. Even the lead I work with said “that’s it?” And all the associates I know say they have never gotten a raise. Everyone is 1-2 years in except me and the other generalist. My workload hasn’t changed (but the manager is more demanding) , nor my schedule (just the shift times but day days and length) am I buggin or is that the actual pay difference. For reference I’m in nyc
