Swimmod_Luna Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Yippee. I'm going to kill myself if I don't find a new job by the holiday season. Not sure I can even make it that long. Like I'm getting surgery on the 13th and will need to be out for about 3 weeks and I'm super looking forward to it. Not even being sarcastic or anything. It will solve a problem that's been bothering me AND I get a vacation.

Would still have to work weird hours and weekends but I'd probably get off a bit earlier than I do now and no Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Maybe I'll try again. Costco wouldn't be bad, especially because right now I'm so close to a Costco it would be faster to walk there with how the parking lot gets. Honestly all I need right now is full-time $15/hr with full benefits and PTO, Monday-Friday 9-5 with no weekends or holidays required and I'd have my dream job. Doesn't matter what it is it could be working the street corner for all I care. Edited May 28, 2018 by Athena 92

I've considered applying to a position I've seen that's similar to what I do now but at a day program facility, so the hours would be more traditional and no holidays required. Only problem is the one I've seen pays $10 an hour which isn't nearly enough and I don't know how I'd make up the difference.
Naraku4656 Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 entry level pays too low for the skills i have but mid level they expect a lot more than what actual mid level people have. tech sucks

Like DSP positions are a dime a dozen but most of them pay a dollar or two above minimum wage at best. But since I work at a state owned facility I make like twice that. A Home Manager at a group home might get paid like $12 an hour (highest I've seen is like $14.42) and most of the time they have on-call responsibilities and still work the same shitty hours I hate (I interviewed and actually got an offer from one but had to pass because they said you have to be on call even on off days and most of the homes they service are 45-60 minutes away from where I live). But honestly if I don't find something else by like, late September/early October, I might just say fuck it and apply for the day program position and figure out the money situation after. Like if this shit paid just a few dollars an hour more it would be perfect. These types of things pretty much always need staff so they may still have a need for people by then. It's either that or a temp agency.
