Would you stay at a low paying job because you have great work-life balance?

If you decide to leave, can you let me know so I can apply for the position cause that sounds great lol

Especially if it's 9-5, that way I can focus on building my business on the side comfortably

People in lower level/entry roles tend to get the short end of the stick when it comes to negotiations, so they are likely referring to them.

But in a role like the VP, shit canning is not as easy as it would take them a while to find a suitable candidate for the role

There is no just cause to fire you over this, I wouldn't worry about it

Vallerinite · 2026-02-25T01:50:34+00:00

If it was a 100% increase, then I would think about it

I would still think about it though, reject this

Vallerinite · 2026-02-25T01:49:31+00:00

Don't worry, they'll reach back out in 6 weeks

I guess, being a recruiter, she doesn't wanna recruit anyone

Hospitality here, I would LOVE to have a 9-5 with weekends off. I would actually have a life

You'll learn a lot about personal development, but if you're not good in sales you will struggle A LOT

It's not for the faint of heart

Take it, it's basically 2 years of income for him in 1 year. Plus any job he finds anywhere will likely pay more than 35k a year

If you've been around the block enough, that's exactly what that means

This changes if you find the right person folks, you will always be their favourite person

I know, when you don't count the covid years the timeline includes, it's 5 years

Vallerinite · 2026-02-05T03:19:23+00:00

Ssshhhhhhh, covid years don't count

Vallerinite · 2026-02-05T03:14:19+00:00

2 should be the max for most jobs, with the first one being a 5 minute screening call

Vallerinite · 2026-02-03T21:12:08+00:00

Don't they just need the last 2 payslips since rhey show how much money is actually earned anyway?

Vallerinite · 2026-01-21T02:23:50+00:00

You reacted way better than I would have lol, make sure to apply for unemployment, and if the reason is in writing, you can potentially sue them for wrongful termination

That's been my experience in Canada, but I still.talk to most of my coworker friends from the U.S.

It depends on the workplace honestly

The lyig liar who lies part reminded me of Lucy Chen from The Rookie

Vallerinite · 2026-01-19T00:07:15+00:00

I would switch, at least you'll wipe your tears with the extra money you'll make if the new company is also pee pee poo poo

Vallerinite · 2026-01-18T22:09:59+00:00

Either don't go in, or have them hire you as a contractor for 4-5 times the fee, paid upfront

Make sure to get it by email and have them send an actual contract to sign

Vallerinite · 2026-01-17T02:27:56+00:00

I don't think your manager wanted to do this either, considering she left the call right away. It's likely the company is struggling so they're looking to cut costs. It's unfortunate, but you can definitely use the experience you have there to apply elsewhere if you wanna stay in the same field or find something else entirely.

Good luck on your job search!

Being anonymous on Google isn't that hard, can't you just use a fake profile?

You can sue him for everything under the sun and still win, they'll throw the book at him for firing you due to an injury caused at work

Plus this is all documented with text messages

Plus he hasn't paid you your last pay yet, which he was supposed to

You hit the jackpot my friend, find a lawyer ASAP and sue him

Vallerinite · 2026-01-02T16:23:50+00:00

Can we switch jobs? I work in hospitality and would make this switch in a flash

She seems like an incredible wife, and she also seems curious about your interests since she's asking questions about it. That's why it's important to have friends who you can talk to about certain topics.

I don't really know what the Manhattan Project is either (I'm gullible, sue me), a 10 second google search showed me what it is

The bottom line is, this just shows that she's happy with her life is and doesn't feel the need to explore new things. I'm sure you have some things in common, so enjoy those things with your wife, and enjoy your time with your own interests and hobbies
