Just got back in touch with a coworker/friend from my previous job. Apparently I was right to jump ship when I did, lol. They're having to go into the office 3 days a week now (when I was there it was only 2). They also keep taking on more work despite not hiring new people (leading to a bigger and more stressful workload for everyone) and they've restructured a lot.

Meanwhile I'm getting paid $9 an hour more than I was there, am in a fully remote work environment, am actually appreciated by my company and coworkers, and my workload and stress is way less than it was there. You know, I was fucking pissed when I was basically pushed out of my last job due to shitty coworkers, but it was honestly the nicest thing they could have done for me!

#it never ceases to amaze me that with every new job I get #I get way more money and way less stress #first job out of college was in a shitty minimum wage call center and now I have this amazing job with so many good benefits #my thesis is that minimum wage/low-paying jobs are always harder and more stressful than higher-paying jobs #which is why I will never stop advocating for the minimum wage to increase SUBSTANTIALLY #anyway I know a lot of y'all followed my old job drama and were happy for me when I got this job #so I thought you'd appreciate this update #personal #work drama
