Ugh…feeling stuck. I desperately want a new job cause the one I have now sucks, but if I stay for 3 more months, I get a $25,000 bonus. My boss makes me come in on Saturdays and I am so anxious I can barely sleep but I absolutely need this money to pay off my loans. How do I get through this?? 🙏🙏

Show up chin up & be proud. Collect what’s yours. Mind over matter. Do not allow this person to take from you. You’ll be far more stressed with that debt and the thought “only if”. The job market is tough and positions are not pay what they were. I like to take that type of person/situation as a challenge - if you were there when your boss got there, more than likely you’ll be there when the boss leaves. Do your job well, document and collect receipts, just in case. If it gets too bad take a short leave to preserve your mental health. If you see no way out then start looking now, but do NOT leave before your bonus. If they decide to terminate you before then and you lose the bonus, then get them for a hefty severance. You have options, just be strategic. If warranted, time it just right to file a complaint with HR. The bully will think twice before retaliating.

I say start your job search now that way in 3 months you may find a new job and I would definitely stay to get that bonus. It definitely seems like you've earned it. Take the money and RUN!

Stick it out but apply for jobs, stating your availability for work to be roughly a week after the expected bonus is due so you can go from one job to the other with a bonus in the bank rather than leaving with no job security and no bonus in the bank. Use mindfulness, meditation or something else to calm you down and make it bearable for the next three months. Think realistically about the chances of you being able to get a job that pays well in the current climate as it's slim pickings everywhere.

So I’ve been with a court for a while and honestly the pay sucks compared to what paralegals should be making… the benefits are great though and they match my retirement 100% now that I’m vested at 3 years.I have 4 kids and 1 is getting ready for college. I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise
