I’ve been with my employer for over 7 years. I work in mortgage sales and rates keep going up with no end in sight. People on the operations side are being offered buyouts rather than laid off. On the sales side though, they don’t buy you out. They burn you out. They encourage you to work more hours, for less leads and they make the standards higher also. The expectation is at minimum 55 hours a week. I think most people are putting in 60-70. There are less leads and the same amount of bankers fighting for those leads. I used to be in a salary position with lower commission but now I’m in hourly plus commission, but after 40 hours I don’t get time and a half. I just get half. After 40 hours my pay goes from $12.50 to $6.25 an hour. I want to hold on but I don’t want to be the last person on the titanic. I need a new career with more stability. What should I do? I have a mortgage, car payment and debt that needs to be paid. I haven’t been without a job for over 20 years.
