Hey. I think I just need to vent.
For some context, I make $17 an hour, and can barely afford rent, power, internet, and phone bill. My mother makes $22, and has health insurance, car insurance, and other bills that I don't, and can barely afford. If she moves jobs, their starting salary is $17 an hour.
Her job has been slowly moving the goal posts for her production numbers to unreasonable standards, which mom hasnt been meeting. They're planning to lay off a bunch of people, come the start of October. We think she might be one of them.
What's worse is, my little brother is doing online school and needs a body double to do his work. In person school terrifies him, because he used to have a group of bullies who would beat on him.
My mother is caught between a rock and a hard place. She needs a remote job, that pays roughly the same wage she's making now, or she's screwed.
I don't know what to do. I know it isn't my job to help, but I hate seeing her and my brother in such dire straights.
