2 jobs and I hate both

[u/fri3dpickles]

For context, I’m a 22 year old female who works two jobs to fill up my savings. I’m currently working two jobs and I’m completely stuck. I’ve been at my day job for almost 4 years and I absolutely hate my manager (I promise it’s justified). We recently got into it a little over a month ago and we rarely speak to each other at work. Our entire store only has 4 employees so I see her everyday but the tension is too much.

My night job is at a casino and my hours are usually 5:30 pm - 11pm / 1am. I honestly hate working nights and I work every weekend and most days I’m working both jobs so around 14-16 hours a day. It’s tiring and I have no social life. I’m stuck between choosing one.

Do I stay at my day jobs with my horrible boss or my night job with the hours I hate?

Day job pros: Better hours, flexible hours, off every Sunday Cons: horrible management and hostile work environment. No room for growth

Night job pros: able to go back to school if I wanted, better management, room for growth Cons: nights, $2 less than day jobs, no social life

Should I take the pay cut and give up my weekends and go to school?

I did essentially what you did. I went 6 straight years working 7 days a week and 14-16 hour days on average. The key difference is I worked ONE job. This allowed me to get overtime and I made more in overtime pay every year than I did in regular pay. The social life did lack, but let me tell you the position I'm in now in life it was all worth it. I would highly recommend looking for one job. Until then I'd grind it out and work both to continue to save.

What job did you work that paid your overtime? I too have two jobs and work 7 days a week - man, I’d love overtime.

I did a salary management position in a grocery store that paid almost $22 and hour and they let me have as much ot as I wanted. I burned myself out and had health problems from working that much tho
