Sore hands and the orange.

I took a step backwards in career moves I guess. So prepan I was furthering my education and gained several certification. I left my security of 11 years with a company at ok pay late 2019. 30k 20hrs a week. Until March I was making triple what I made at my old job, but it was all gig schedules nothing was a full time deal.

I worked odd jobs for local farms until I took a manager position at a five and dime type of place didn’t ask the pay cause it was management. 5 weeks later I get first and second pay due to new system…


I took a step backwards in career moves I guess. So prepan I was furthering my education and gained several certification. I left my security of 11 years with a company at ok pay late 2019. 30k 20hrs a week. Until March I was making triple what I made at my old job, but it was all gig schedules nothing was a full time deal. After lockdown I lost two of my three subcontracts, and the third just never called me back. I took my certifications to proper places to work but they all wanted me to do entry level work, yet put my certification on the wall. I worked odd jobs for local farms until I took a manager position at a five and dime type of place didn’t ask the pay cause it was management. 5 weeks later I get first and second pay due to new system errors and $7.65 was the pay. That about mentally broke me. I then started every interview with what is the pay. Finally five weeks ago I was offered a job at $15 an hour 29 or less hours a week. It is basic landscaping but rough terrain snakes ticks spiders. I was told yesterday that pre pandemic starting pay was $20 and they had a crew of 6 and we are a crew of 3. Is the juice worth the squeeze?
