I’m about to start a new job at a local theater chain in my state making less money than I have in a while ($12) after being fired from my mortgage industry job one month ago but this thought came across my mind tonight…
I’m treating this as a stop-gap job as I plan on leaving as soon as something in the $17-22 range will hire me. I have the work experience to get most jobs in this pay range and settled for this in the meantime as a way to keep the bills paid and gas in the car.
I don’t want to be too close with my new coworkers (again this is just a stop gap for me) but don’t want to be the weird quiet loner of the shift either.
I’m okay with interacting with guests but making small talk with my coworkers isn’t easy for me as in the past at old jobs I’ve been hurt by, bullied etc by coworkers.
