My partner and I have been working at the same job now for a little over 8 years. We are one bad day away from leaving it because there are so many inconsistencies and problems we are tired of dealing with. Our company is a sinking ship. They can barely hold on to any new employees they've tried to hire for some of the more dangerous positions at our factory.
We are also exhausted mentally, physically, and emotionally. The work is not satisfying. We only get paid about $13 an hour. They only gave everybody at our company a raise by a dollar because they were trying to keep up with the rate of inflation. As if a dollar is enough to keep up with anything these days.
Where do we find the part time or full time jobs that are entry level, pay $30 and onwards, and offer lots of paid vacation and flexibility for more work vs life balance? We don't want to spend more time grinding life exp just to make a couple more dollars at the next job we find. Both him and I are exhausted with how difficult it feels sifting through hundreds of websites just to see the same awful retail, fast food, and customer service jobs again. I hate how saturated the market feels with so many low paying jobs here in America.
I get those are the jobs everyone is saying goodbye to. Thus, there will be more of those jobs outnumbering the potentially higher paying ones. Why not make those $25 an hour or something and offer just as good benefits? Why does there have to be a bottom tier of shitty jobs we all have to start at?
Any suggestions would be great as far as how to find the jobs I can earn a lot of money without so much of a time and life grind. We're not opposed to working, but we are ready for a change of pace with how much money we earn at the rate we have been earning it. Thanks for the help! 🙂
