Today (day 99 with my employer) I was put on a performance improvement plan. Such a shit show of a company! After the offer, and before my start date the company reorganized the department… new boss and department reporting structure. Too late for me to renegotiate, and my job at my former employer was not a fallback option. On day 3 one of the only long term employees in the department accepted a different job. Sooo many red flags! I need to jump but I don’t have anywhere to land.

Would you take a paycut to work at a hospital?
Im currently a LTC pharmacist. My hours are consistent (mornings) and I work one weekend a month. Also, the workload is actually not that bad. However, I just got an offer from a hospital as a staff pharmacist. It is a non profit organization so I would be able to get my student loan forgiven after working for 10 years. But schedule is really random and I would have to work every other weekend. Plus, I would get paid less. Should I just stay?

Hey awesome mamas! What are your plans for when you have to go back to work but your kids are staying home either doing distance-learning or the hybrid model?

Also worried about having to help them with a lot of homework after I get home from work. Ideas?
