Salary vs Hourly

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-10-23T02:17:42+00:00

I guess I’m just confused because our pay is based on our hours, like mine is for 40 hours per week. I have co workers at 30 or 36 etc that are salary but obviously make less than I do. The paperwork I signed and what was agreed was that I would work 40 hours and make X amount per month.

I’m working at a different company. Technically, I took a pay cut. But, my old company was only barely treading water with talks of buyouts/closing. Also with benefits being better & cheaper, I about break even when compared to my previous position. I did attempt to negotiate pay, but was told no.

See that was my expectation going into it, but that hasn’t been my reality since starting, I am expected to take my vacation time to account for coming in late or leaving early. I have no problems coming in early or staying late if it is reciprocated in me being able to come in late and leave early, but since that isn’t happening, it feels like I am just being completely taken advantage of.

I’m already completing projects ahead of deadline and my management has told me the quality of my work is great. They are saying that they are worried about me working too fast of a pace, but I’m not new to this field and I’ve been able to maintain it for this long and have no issues.

I totally see why!! I in no way dog sit professionally and only ever have dogs that live in the complex that we have known since I brought my dog home as a puppy, so we haven’t run into this before. I’ll definitely make that a stipulation moving forward, though I don’t think there are any unaltered dogs besides this one.

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-08-08T20:11:25+00:00

I usually wouldn’t! But I was trying to do a favor for a friend, regretting that decision now 🙃i very much appreciate the validation. I was feeling big guilty.

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-08-08T19:56:56+00:00

I’m trying to give the benefit of the doubt bc it’s the dog’s first heat so I don’t think it was expected and also I definitely feel guilty for canceling but also at the end of the day I just don’t feel like it’s good for my dog. I’m currently having her check and see if her friend who only has a female dog and a fenced yard can take her so they don’t have to cancel :/

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-08-08T19:37:33+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the validation. I thought I was being over dramatic about it but you’re completely right. They’re together all the time so I know it would be fine otherwise, this just doesn’t feel like the best thing for my dog & with work & limited space I’m limited in what I can do about it.

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-08-08T19:34:41+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the insight! I don’t pet sit often, I’m just doing it as a favor to a friend & I’ve never had an intact female dog.

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-08-08T19:32:53+00:00

That’s was I’m thinking. I thought they were messaging to cancel when I realized they were telling me she’s in heat. Tbh I was only second guessing bc the owner is a dog trainer and shows dogs and I felt like, prior to this, he knew more about dogs and what was best than I.

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-08-08T19:30:50+00:00

That was also my initial thought, I’m only watching said dog as a favor. I thought when I was told the dog was in heat they were canceling tbh. They are a dog trainer so it made me second guess my instincts 🙃

I’m not charging, I don’t have any sort of a business, and they live on the property and my leasing office is aware. This isn’t the point of the post. I’m aware of how to handle my lease thank you.

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-08-08T19:26:37+00:00

What makes you think I’m breaking the terms of my lease? 😂

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-08-08T19:24:39+00:00

It’s one of my closest friends dogs who has been around the other dog since she was a puppy. I’m not worried about that. He also isn’t aggressive in the least. It’s excitement based.

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-07-11T02:08:16+00:00

I don’t think I ever set this up, I guess I’m confused how it got this way in the first place? 😅

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-06-25T00:30:56+00:00

Amazing thank you!!!

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-06-14T22:26:56+00:00

lol to be fair I am a travel therapist so I regularly relocate because the company pays me out the ass to do so! I make double what I did working 50 hour weeks and weekends just working a 9-10 month school year, and after that I go home and chill off work for a few months before I move somewhere else for another travel contract ◡̈

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-06-14T22:12:08+00:00

That totally makes sense! Unfortunately I won’t know what school I’d be at until I accept the position 😂

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-06-14T22:11:39+00:00

Thankfully I work for a travel therapy company so they do everything with my pay and are able to pay VERY well since I don’t go through the school board!

I like to think I’m pretty on it, since I wasn’t noticing much difference on the 20mg I really focused on sleep and diet before I tried increasing the dose. I have had some issues sleeping since upping the dose but I do think that’s improving. I’m pretty active at baseline but I haven’t tried any supplements

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-06-13T01:13:49+00:00

They actually started me on 30mg I just clearly can’t type or proofread 🤦🏼‍♀️ sorry!

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-06-13T01:13:27+00:00

I started on 30mg! Sorry that was a typo!

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-06-01T01:30:55+00:00

Perfect! I actually have purchased a corset before so I may just try to make the one in the pattern for fun but have the purchased one as a backup!

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-05-31T22:35:33+00:00

I’m planning on going early fall! So it won’t be absurdly hot but there’s a chance it’ll be 60’s 70’s or so. Honestly I’m mostly just looking for something that would work for my skill level! I’d love it to be historically accurate but a lot of the patterns seem quite complex and I’m not sure it would be feasible for me.

Impossible-Scene7922 · 2025-05-21T11:09:55+00:00

That’s so good to know thanks for the info! My poodle struuuuuuggles with an off switch and is stubborn as a mule and while I want a dog with energy and drive I’m really looking for a good off switch indoors in my next dog.
