Today I was given a raise of $1 an hour because my boss signed me up for a training course to do someone else's job on top of my own. I work in healthcare customer support and we take a lot of calls that are uniquely difficult and stressful. Any other jobs I could look into that pay above $18hr from home without a degree, just a lot of experience in customer support, copyright and unarmed security?

I'd take this paid training and apply for another healthcare job that needs this role.

Slow down, don't stress. When they complain that the work is not getting done, tell them that you are being asked to do the work of two employees. It's not your fault that they have decided to understaff and not your job to sort out this management/personal problem.

Also, why didn't you tell him no?

It wasn’t a question, it was just you are starting this training next week for a month and now I’m trapped in it. Wish I was paid enough for rent and food, is all.
