The title pretty much sums it up, but I was heavily considering quitting one of my two jobs as working 6 days a week has absolutely been taking a toll on my already poor mental and physical health.
Job A is what I go to school for and will continue doing higher education (dog training = constantly getting more certifications) while Job B is a hobby job that I LOVE to do. Job A has paid me 12.50 hourly since I started over a year ago while Job B started me at 13.50 and has raised me to 14.50 without even being there 6 months. They are also negotiating another raise for me to be able to work Job B full-time so I can comfortably quit Job A.
I was already considering leaving Job A due to the bosses having profit > wellbeing mindsets, crippling sales goals, being subjected to record cringey training videos despite severe anxiety, and many more toxic things. They also never enforced covid vaccines, social distancing, or masks in any kind of way throughout the pandemic for both employees and customers so there has been MANY covid outbreaks at my work.
Anyway, one of my favorite coworkers is quitting because the owners suck and don't care about our live animals, she let me know she was HIRED for $18 hourly. We have different positions, but I tried to negotiate for even 13/13.50 with experience and they wouldn't budge. I asked about pay raises 2 other times and i was shrugged off and told we can't afford that. Clearly they don't value me as an employee so I'll take that as the nail in the coffin of me quitting Job A.
TL:DR One of my jobs pays people who have been here less time significantly better so I'm finally quitting, I had no idea it was that bad. Know your worth, don't work for a business who doesn't value you!
