I hope this is the correct sub.
Started working as a vendor for the plant department at a Home Depot. It’s pretty labor intensive ( pushing and pulling carts with plants that may weight 80 lbs / moving plants from sections to sections/ watering/sweeping) Im liking the job and didn’t mind working with plants. That was until I got my first check today. We get paid $14 per hour and paid every 2 weeks. This is a part time job but I go in 6 days out of the week at 9 am. Some days are 4 hours, some are 7 hours.
I was paid roughly $457.
My back hurts, my body is toning up (which is cool) and my feet hurt every single day. Idk why I thought I was getting a lot more for 2 weeks but this is the exact same amount I was getting working at tj maxx 6 years ago for $9.50. PART TIME.
I’m starting to slowly be put off by this job now. If it wasn’t everyday, maybe it would be different for me but idk.
I could changed my availability but my only other coworker was fired yesterday so I will be the only one there maintaining the plants at the moment.
Am I complaining too much? Is this actually a good job to have? Like I know people work full time with more labor and hours. It just really doesn’t feel good knowing I’m getting $200 every week.
