Big Lots, worst pay to effort ratio of anywhere I’ve ever worked. Working harder than I ever have for less than I ever have until I find something else.
That sucks smelly ass, sorry to hear that, maybe try and organize once you have another job lined up? I’ll never forget working the morning shift at hardes, literally the most stressful job I have ever had, for the least pay I have ever made. I got a job at a factory and made twice the salary, but did a quarter of the work, and I had to hear the people I work with denigrate fastfood workers wanting to raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour, cause they thought they worked so much harder and only made $12 an hour. They pit us against eachother while eating caviar from fishes that are going extinct because they are actively poisoning every aspect of our society and our world simultaneously and living in opulence that make the Kings of old look modest. Shits gotta give…
I work in an IT call center and only make 25k. It’s a nightmarish routine of answering calls from customers who don’t believe in your basic right to be respected, answering to employers who believe the same.
But if you’ve got a clean criminal record look into city jobs. The pay isn’t usually amazing (better than yours though), but the benefits are usually really, really good.
Even in Texas I have never had to pay premiums on medical, dental, and vision for a government job, and my last 2 cities have provided 2:1 matching on my retirement plan at 7% (so I have 21% going towards pension). The guys mowing the parks get the same benefits.
Laughs in 20k a year.
Hope the cost of living helps offset that… what company has been stealing your labor from you?

What part of the country are you in?
Indiana.
Darn. I don’t have any contacts there.
