New job vs current

Reposting from r/jobs since no one replied. I just want some outside opinions. I feel like I know in my heart what to do, but need validation. Potential new job is same pay ($60k) and less time off than my current position (2 weeks vs. 3 weeks paid). They offer 401k and sick time though. Commute time is cut by about 20 mins. From 55 to 36. I feel like because my current job has 401k + pension I need to stay, but I am unhappy with the amount of work I do for the pay. I have too many sub-jobs I’m expected to do plus now I need to lead my team with no extra pay compensation. I have asked my manager if I’m getting a pay bump since new associate hires are getting paid more ($55k) and he said no. So basically I worked my ass off for…

People need to stop simping for employers

I say this as someone who is basically stuck living at his mother's house because I have mediocre prospects. I'm sick of people telling me, a 28 year old, that I should just stick it out at my current underpaying job at a bank for a 1 year (currently at the 9 month mark) that only pays $40k/year in southern Ontario when said people make a lot more money but pretend to be working class on poverty finance subreddits. Life shouldn't be this way and because I don't have a business degree (I have a BA) I'm limited in my promotion prospects unless I want to work in sales. Rent is constantly going up and I can't afford to keep being ineligible for rent protection. I make less than a bloody first year private in the army now and I'm just told to suck it up. I don't want to…

Did I just get screwed over?

Working as a Sr. Project Manager at a med-tech firm and just had my review after completing a year and I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. The job I interviewed for and joined was L4 level and asked for 15 years experience. I only had 7 years but the hiring manager went ahead with me anyway cos “character > experience”. 6/7 months in, My title randomly changed in some of the systems from Sr. Project Manager to Sr. Program Manager and I asked to clarifythat a while back so they changed it back to Sr. project manager. I was reporting to the VP until 3 months ago until he introduced a layer as all his other reports were Director level. My new boss, a Director, asked me to trust him to take me where I want. And that I just need to be a little patient while…

What are some ways to make money without working?

acting your wage makes sense but also, acting your hours. meaning if you only give me 15 hours a week, I can’t get the same amount of work done and I’m not going to strain myself trying to.

Is there a way for work to find out I have a part time job while on disability?

At this point, they’re not accommodating my requests and I’m pretty much out on leave until I get it figured out. I need something else to make ends meet. Is there a way to find out if I have another part time job during this time?

Being a teacher must be one of the most challenging and underpaid jobs. I’d walk out too.
