I have been stuck between jobs since December waiting for my college to finish the hiring process and get me started at the IT desk when I finally started today, I was really really excited to be working in the feild I want a career in until just now when I actually ran the numbers and realized… I can't fuckin afford to work this job… working 20 hour weeks (about as much as I can work being a full time college student) on minimum wage I litterally cannot pay the only 2 bills I have (litterally just my car payment and insurance) I live at my fuckin parents and I still can't pay my bills like this what the fuck!?!?
I was so excited over this job and was under the impression I'd be making around 15 an hour but when I asked my manager he said I'm prolly making minimum wage… I just emailed the dude who hired me telling him we never discussed/negotiated pay but I'm fuckin scared and heartbroken over this I have been looking forward to and excited over having this kinda job opportunity (litterally the most perfect fuckin thing besides the pay) only to find out I litterally can't afford it… what. The. Fuck… I had my checking drained being between jobs for so long and they kept telling me over and over how “it's almost done we'll have you starting soon!!!”
This just feels so fucked up… I litterally made more money delivering pizzas than working here if this pay ends up actually being as low as my manager says…
