I'm a millennial who's quitting my job because I'm overworked and underpaid — and feel underqualified to grow my career
My partner makes significantly more money than I do, and it's great that she does — but I often feel like I'm not pulling my own weight. I take home about $3,200 a month. If there was a time when I could be doing this job and raise a family off it, that time ended a long, long time ago.
At the co-op chain I've been working at for the past year, meat cutters don't get reliable schedules. I typically work about 40 hours a week, but the minimal notice and consistency make it hard to have any kind of life outside work, even for basic things, like trying to make a doctor appointment. That's in addition to constantly being floated from store to store to plug in staffing gaps. , my checks shrunk significantly — by about $400 a month.
