I hung in there due to the quality benefits I have, but I was close to the end of my rope with that.

Are there other people here who stay/have stayed at their jobs because they have good benefits (insurance, retirement, etc)?

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.

Yes, I have a good salary too. Another thing that keeps one put!

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 know I have mentioned it in a different post but I’m excited to start my 4 day a week schedule at 10 hours a day!! Starting Nov 5th!

Still working...

That’s my situation.

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.

I started a new position in a different organization. Director of Ambulatory Programs which is basically the same type of work including; strategic planning, outcomes, evidence-based practice, and financials.

GeorgiaMa'am · 01-31-2021, 12:19 PM

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.
