Not really sure if it’s appropriate for here, but I figure it’s a good place to discuss. I recently accepted a job offer for 11K more. I’d be going from 63K to 74K WFH as a nurse case manager. However, I found out the metrics might be more tight than my current job and I’d be talking to patients (I don’t currently do that now, only hospital staff to review medical necessity for hospitals). My current job is 8-5 and relatively low stress besides the pay and benefits. I do have to work holidays, but it’s rotating and I mind slightly less since I’m WFH. With the new job, I would have no holidays and work 9-530 but it could be later start and end times depending on time zone of my patients.

Is it not insulting when you see companies post “tips” on how to survive instead of providing living wages.

Pretty much summed up in the title. Those who know me are aware of my fondness for fandom conventions and cosplay – I've even participated in promoting, organizing, running, and when necessary running around trying to unfukc the fukcups of others. I attended a show in SW Ontario summer 2009 for a particular fandom that was having a feature film debut about it, and to my surprise executives from the company behind it were in attendance. I was there dressed as one of my favourite characters and both the main event organizer and studio exec took notice and liked my stuff. I had a good time, got home after and went on with my usual stuff. About a week later the main event organizer finds me online and informed me that the exec wants to talk to me about something nifty. We get in contact and I'm asked to wear…
