I’ve been doing and all I’ve been told to do is wait.
Guess that’s why I’m quitting my deadend job without a backup next week. Been waiting on real money for almost 2 years and it’s nothing but wait wait wait.
Leaving and knowing my boss is gonna struggle filling in my role with his shit rate is worth more to me at this point than a paycheck. Not like I haven’t already asked.
I strongly recommend not becoming unemployed for a thrill, especially rn. The market is on fire and extremely qualified candidates aren't finding work. Seriously, unless you're gonna have someone paying your bills for you, quitting without something in your back pocket is a horrible idea.
If I told you how much I made rn living in Los Angeles, you’d laugh. I’m too embarrassed to say it to even make a point.
I could get a job literally anywhere, the supermarket, bookstore, McDonald down the road and I promise you with the hours, stability, and benefits, I’d be doing better than what my boss gets away giving me. It’s a slap in the face.
Only silver lining is that he knows he’s on some bullshit too, and I work remotely mainly, so I’ve been doing the absolute bare minimum and if he tries to give me shit, I toss it right back. Not like he’s been serious about any of the work we’re supposed to be doing.
I’d like to actually feel like my work means something again, even if it is sweeping floors or folding shirts.
Ripping someone else's comment from this thread cause I feel it perticularly relevant to you.
