Headhunter lied on job offer for IT

$25-33/hr listed on Indeed.com. Filled out an email to the headhunter where he listed the base rate pay as $53000. Just got off the phone with the hiring manager (a 2nd go between the company and employee) and the offers were $13/hr for Tier 1 (call center), $16 (call center back up and escalation) and $20.75 for Tier 3/Network Engineer (also call center back up escalation). All parties would answer phones with overflow. I ended the phone interview and advised I had already been offered $53k annual by previous headhunter. She apologized that it was not accurate and these were very firm. I advised calmly that these were criminally low for the area and incredibly misleading as I was hoping to haggle closer to $60k as this was what my most recent job was paying.

The ancestors of the men and women who fought a war for the right to keep black people as property never learned their lesson.

Virtually any metric you want to check falls along the old boundary of the civil war; abortion, minimum wage, income inequality, unions, LGBTQ+ protections, education, life expectancy, etc. The ancestors of the men and women who fought a war for the right to keep black people as property never learned their lesson. Never regretted their actions. No, they put up statues to “remember their heritage.” They proudly fly their treasonous flag to this day. Their political class still seeks to control other human beings, and corrupts every public institution under their jurisdiction to exact a ruthless minority rule against the Union. At every step of the way The Confederate States of America have pulled back on the rope of progress for greed and power; slowly coiling the rope, tying it into knots, and draping it over the poplar tree. The GOP is the sole governing party of the Confederate States…

I don’t know what to do – advice please!

I’ve been working at this job for only 6 weeks. It does alright, my coworkers are nice and the pay is well, but it is completely exhausting. I work 3 days a week every single weekend from 4 to closing at 10pm, immediately followed up by an opening 9-5 shift on Monday. It doesn’t sound like a lot but the restaurant is completely understaffed and every day is an non stop rush from opening till closing and I’m a nursing student taking five courses, by the time I have my three days off for class I’m completely burnt out by work and don’t have any motivation to study. I’ve spoken to my employer about changing my schedule to space out my shifts to accommodate my work and school life and was rejected. I don’t know if I should get another job or just hold this one out, please help.
