Yes, yes I do…
I know this all to well! Paycuts are not our preference but we have to do what we have to do to make an honest living. I had to work parttime jobs that paid 12/hr and 15-16/hr this year because I had bills due. One thing it teaches us is humility and grace for others. While I promised myself, I would never go back down from a 6-figured salary, I realize the fun I had in being an hourly associate again and I also came to the realization that our situations & circumstances don’t last forever…the motive is to keep going and never settle. If you have a set goal/plan in place and you make steps towards that plan…then you should be proud not saddened by temporary dismay. You have life and breath in your body & that is more than enough! Take care & be well.
So sorry, This sounds like a common scene these days. Heck I have 2 degrees and can't find a job after 1 year of applying for role above 60K. Not sure what is causing this "broken system." I feel your pain. So sad that you have all this experience and have to accept these low paying roles. May you find another role SOON and get a big pay bump. Positive vibes from Pennsylvania.
I was at a six figure salary when I lost my job 2 years ago due to a mass layoff. Sadly, I am still NOT working! If someone were to offer me 46K right now, I'd gladly take it. Good luck to you.
Problem is WAY too many people are in HR, it is driving salaries down. People need to look at other fields of work. Remember HR is typically 1 headcount per 200 or so employees.
This right here is facts. The ratio is insane but true
Yes all too well my friend are u looking at all they offer or just what you see on pay check
Yes, it really sucks. I am sorry you had to do that.
