My current job is great and pays decently, but the scheduling is a nightmare. I never know what my hours look like from week to week, and they constantly change my shifts at the last minute. It’s making it impossible to plan my life. I have an offer for a new job that pays slightly less per hour, but it’s a fixed, predictable schedule. Has anyone made a similar switch? Is the drop in hourly pay worth the peace of mind?

You need to work two jobs if you rent and as a dishwasher. Full time is not always guaranteed.

It's a personal choice.
How much less is slightly less?
Can you still live comfortably on that much less, just by cutting back, or will this cause financial strain?
Then, you say the job is great, except the schedule. Will the new job provide that kind of job satisfaction?

If that's what you want to do, and you're just looking for people to tell you you're not crazy... you're not crazy. All over the world there are people that deliberately work at jobs that pay less than they could easily make, just for the job satisfaction or the flexibllity a job offers, or any of a host of other reasons.

As long as your basic needs are accounted for, be happy. A job is a long time. If you can make it more pleasant, take the opportunity.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
