sexyspice's blog post - Not sure what to do with my life.

Saturday, August 31, 2013, 8:07:53 AM

I'm at a crossroads of sorts. I want to do my current job full time and so far despite my best efforts have only managed to secure 20 hours a week.

I am frustrated and disheartened .. Have not had a pay rise in 8 years (neither have my colleagues) and the cost of living increases at a ridiculous rate.

We are being xxxxxx to take a stupidly big cut in pay but are being ALLOWED to keep our jobs ... I don't want to do anything else. I have a job that I love and know that many do not.

I try to count my blessings, cannot find a second job that fits within the hours I have available. I would be devastated to leave but feel like my hand is being xxxxxx.

The thought of leaving makes me cry and I can't face a future doing a job I hate after having been so blessed for so long.

I guess I should go back to hitting my head off a wall

I too love my job and been there 25 years. Sometimes we don't get pay increase but Im happy with that to keep the business going but will agree 8 yrs is way too long without a raise

mrSchowitall	31-Aug-13 10:37:19 It is a tough call. I hate my job , so I think you are really lucky to have a job you enjoy. I would be reluctant to change . An additional part time job would save you leaving but I appreciate the hours are not always the best. Maybe try temping part time to earn extra cash and see how it goes first.
