    How many months? Is it something you can tough out until you’re able to tell them to f off? I also have a feeling your only way out of this is to leave for better pay, very hard to convince employers until they feel directly threatened

      Graduating at the end of November, Gods willing. I really, really hope my budget lasts that long, but I’m penny pinching in a big way and have been a while now (income is only about $800 a fortnight, post rent I’m left with less than half of that).

      You and the other commenters are probably right honestly, it’s shitful as I love the job itself, but deeply hate my boss. I honestly cannot wait until I can just get the hell out of here, although it’s going to get ugly before it gets better (I’m a tutor and a lot of my income comes from VCE students, most of whom have their last class towards the end of October)

        Any chance of getting some private clients in or apply to maybe another tutoring centre just for a bit of extra cash for a couple extra months?

          I’ve been debating that myself tbh. As things stand I keep worrying taking on a student for such a brief time wouldn’t be ethical, given the ongoing nature of both academic improvement and the subject
