Antiwork

I recently started a non-profit job that listed its pay range as $38k to $56k, and required a Bachelors and experience. I had both, and guess what pay I got? $38k. Actually, they tried to pay me less but I 'negotiated' higher. Anyway, they also never told me about after hours events, and I've been scheduled for two in the next few weeks. I have another job offer with a large medical insurance co. for a WFH job making $40k. I am in graduate school for non-profit admin, so I'm having trouble picking.

Please respond with: -What do you do? -Salary range for the position (don’t have to respond your salary) -What would you need to get started (degree, certification ect.) -Company name (just put “I used to work here if…

Spending the middle of the week with my boyfriend, and I was planning on putting my two weeks in soon anyway. I'll be doing that on my next shift, which is Saturday. I've posted here before about my shitty job; the long hours, terrible management, unrealistic expectations, favoritism, overall stressing me out and I'm just an associate… I'm going back to school. my family will be pissed off because deep down they don't think I would be able to do it but I know I can. and now I want to. it will make me feel a little shitty seeing my friends graduate the same year I start, but I wasn't ready back when they started. I'm ready now, and I'm done with this shitty retail BS. My coworker is blowing up my phone, but I don't feel bad. I'm excited I have the day to myself, and soon I'll…
