Antiwork

Working for 2 years in a role above my pay grade- asked for a promotion a month ago which was agreed it should happen and today I asked if there was any progress- there is not.

The title says it all but I’m fed up and wondering what to do. I’m 45 and work at a UK Uni and am doing the role of a lecturer but on a grade 7 salary. I work like a dog and it is “verbally” recognised but I’m skint and in a lot of debt and it’s just not fair. If I walk then I will lose my home and my wife and I don’t want that. I’m fed up with everyone around me being lazy bastards and skanking off us. Why should I work like this for less than anyone else and live in a house where only me and my wife work so hard and look after it all. I can’t be bothered anymore. Do I run away? I don’t want to leave her with the debt. I’m fed up of trying.
