I decided it wasn't worth the pathetic pay. I have another job as I say and the opportunity to find other work, so I don't feel very concerned over it. Because I like my manager, I gave her a month's notice. It honestly isn't her fault I and others are leaving. If head office decided to pay us more, I'd stay on. It is what it is.
