So my baby is now 3 months old and I have the opportunity to go back to one of two old jobs. I have to work rn, not an option to stay home
Job A: worked at a different location for almost four years. Starting pay is 18.75/hour, but I should get my old pay of 19.50 back, plus cheap benefits. Regular raises based on hours worked. I didn't really enjoy the job, but I know it well. It's in cold storage, work provides the gear, but it's a constant 35 degrees F in there. Company is very large and known for treating their employees fairly, so much so that only one location ever has opted to unionize. 32 to 34 hours per week, still qualify for benefits, but schedule is set. 4:30 am to 3pm (hours will be in there somewhere) Sunday through Friday. Absolutely no phones or music or anything which almost drove me insane the first time. Have literally cried while working and walked off the job many times
Job B: worked there for 1.5 years most recently, averaging 16.50something per hour. Cheap benefits, work unsupervised, loved my coworkers. Got to be on my phone most of time. Works with the public, sometimes the incredibly stupid public. Have been called a stupid fuc$>*# c@nt while on the clock. Has hour long lunch breaks so I can go home and nurse my baby since I'll only be a mile away. Schedule is changeable at any time.
Therapist thinks I have untreated adhd and treated depression. It's made both jobs difficult at times. These are the two best options in the area given my baby, and my husband also working full time. Mom thinks I need a career minded job since we have a baby. I can see either being career minded, even tho there's not much h room for upward movement but pay will go up periodically. I need more schooling for what I really want to be doing (ARNP). Will need to work while in school too
Which one should I choose. I think maybe job A looks better on paper, but lacks the flexibility job B offers. Job A was also harder on my mental health
