Do I quit my current job for a better paying job?

Australian here. I’ve been working at this company for 13 months now. Pay is minimal however the team is somewhat wonderful. I’m currently getting paid $26.25 AUD at 30 hours maximum a week. I’ve been offered two jobs 20 hours at $31 per hour (flexible hours- friend is the manager) 15 hours at $35 per hour (casual however my friend is the manager) I would like to accept both jobs however would I be an asshole for leaving the company one month before a ‘black out period’ (staff are not allowed to take leave during December) The pay I’m currently on is not survivable in the city I live in, I’m barely able to enjoy life after paying the bills and groceries. Pay rise is very unlikely. If I moved to full time I’d still get paid less than $28 I feel bad as the company has been wonderful to…


Australian here. I’ve been working at this company for 13 months now. Pay is minimal however the team is somewhat wonderful.

I’m currently getting paid $26.25 AUD at 30 hours maximum a week.

I’ve been offered two jobs

20 hours at $31 per hour (flexible hours- friend is the manager)
15 hours at $35 per hour (casual however my friend is the manager)

I would like to accept both jobs however would I be an asshole for leaving the company one month before a ‘black out period’ (staff are not allowed to take leave during December)

The pay I’m currently on is not survivable in the city I live in, I’m barely able to enjoy life after paying the bills and groceries.

Pay rise is very unlikely. If I moved to full time I’d still get paid less than $28

I feel bad as the company has been wonderful to me and accomodating for my disability. However the pay and hours aren’t working out for me anymore
