My stepson’s wife stayed at a very low paying job for years just for the benefits while she went to school and her kids were young.

Yes sometimes I feel that’s why I stay. The benefits are the best I’ve had so far. But I figured when I’m ready I could find something else. THEN they went and gave a pretty hefty raise. Sooooo..... now it would be much harder to match it all. I hate the long drive on the Congested roads and the feeling I don’t have enough free time among some other things. But it could be much worse so I try to be happy with it all.

I finally scored a job not using a staffing agency.

Autozone is taking a chance on me and hired me as sales/driver. With potential to further my training to become maim driver, etc.

I have worked at the same mental health agency since February 2011. I started as a clinical supervisor, then was promoted to clinical director, then program director, then director of quality management then four months ago I was promoted to the Director of Clinical Operations. My work focuses on Division Outcomes, data analysis, research, and evidence-based practices. I am also an adjunct professor for a college in the area and I am working on my dissertation for my Ph.D in social work. I just hired a company to start the credentialing process to become part of insurance panels for private practice.

I can't give a lot of personal details about my latest work placement, but I can say my former company hired me back, I work in an office that serves an international company of engineers and while I'm not salaried, I will be earning a decent living and I'm grateful to be back on board with the company I was last working for. I work a Monday through Friday schedule, get all holidays off, and I also have the opportunity to advance in placement. Just today, in front of my small office crew, I got another compliment by an vendor who frequents our office, daily. So I'm thrilled to be back at work.

My boss is working from Florida for three months, and the rest of us, including me, are working from home. I expect that will change once we all get our vaccines. I actually love working from home, I never have to get dressed except from the waist up twice a week for our staff Zoom meetings. I'm spending hardly any money on gas, and no money on lunches out.
