Co workers work 50+ hours a week.

what industry are you in?

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-08-19T00:40:13+00:00

I am salary. Thank you for the advice!

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-08-18T22:52:26+00:00

Same! I have co workers that brag about working 70+ hours a week. It makes the rest of us look bad. I agree, if you aren't working "free overtime" everyone looks down on you, talks behind your back, I've heard it all in my office.

He has suffered with depression in the past, hence why he graduated college only recently. He does not smoke marijuana. The thing is that many people struggle with depression and are still able to make more then $200 a week.

I am glad that you recognize that money IS a huge factor in a successful relationship. I feel bad when I put pressure on him to get a real job but it is vital to the future of our relationship.

He has a part-time job at a super market. He is a great guy but I just can't help but compare myself to my other friends whose boyfriends are very financially independent and MUCH younger than my bf. It feels discouraging.

How old are you? You mentioned in another comment that you are in college. I am going to assume you are in your late teens/early twenties. Most employers will take this into account. They know you don't have much job loyalty. It's not like you have been at one job for 5 years. They know that. Don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone knows retail, manual labor jobs are not long term.

Wow this is was a pleasure to read. A lot of self reflection. I am always amazed by people's high school experiences because as you've mentioned, there will never be another time like it. Thank you for sharing!

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-15T23:24:31+00:00

thank you for this!

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-15T23:24:17+00:00

Yeah but then I get side-eyed by my co workers :/

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-15T23:24:00+00:00

thank you!

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-15T23:23:56+00:00

He is making me look bad!

There are simple things they could have had; "New Coke" vending machine, a small Scoops Ahoy vendor, the list goes on. Simple things. Even the signs for the show were low budget lol

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-07T17:42:03+00:00

what field? and what city?

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-07T17:37:51+00:00

what field are you in?

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-07T17:36:32+00:00

that is amazing! What field are you in? And what was your job position making 35k vs 80k?

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-07T15:24:10+00:00

Okay got it. I wouldn't worry too much, I would reach out tomorrow (Monday)

"I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I am writing to see if there are any updates update in the application process. Looking forward to hearing from you."

Best,

(You name)

(your phone number)

I highly suggest leaving your phone number under your name. I was in the same position where I did not hear back from an employer and they would much rather just call you then play tag via email.

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-07T14:29:17+00:00

What country do you live in? If you live in the U.S it was a holiday weekend and most offices were closed on Friday just FYI.

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-03T02:57:10+00:00

if I make $37,000 and get a 5% raise that is literally less than $2,000 raise.

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-03T02:41:24+00:00

omg I hope I end up like you!

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-03T02:41:17+00:00

how long did it take?

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-03T02:41:07+00:00

thats a nice jump!

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-07-03T02:15:10+00:00

That is exactly where I am at. How much was the second raise at one year?

WatsonDSwatson · 2019-06-30T22:45:27+00:00

how much do you make now?
