I was offered a serving job with an Adult Living Facility (ALF) as a server. The hours are reasonable and it's very close to my home, but I don't want to have to deal with constant stress, loss due to residents dying, being treated like dirt, all for an insulting $12/hr.
It's not like I am unable to do the work, I've been a server at an ALF before (it was my second job). I understand the rules, regulations and am able to do the job spectacularly. But my problem is that i know this type of work will destroy every small shred of progress ive made in the last few years to get to a happy place again. When i worked at the ALF, the constant berating from residents, the repeated events of loss when they inevitably died, management who never cared about your home life balance, made me miserable. Just thinking of repeating that job, even though it's a totally different company, makes me sick and miserable.
I want to take the job, because I need the work, and want some purpose again. Bills are due and I can't afford them. I'd have to purchase my own uniforms, because they aren't supplied, and I have no money. I have to pay for childcare too when the school year starts again, and I can't afford that on $12/hr.
And I hate avocados with a fiery passion.
