Well not quite, work had been driving me crazy these last few months so I arranged a meeting with the owners and told them what I thought, they were all ears but no solutions so I asked for a raise, if I’m going to be unhappy at work I need more pay.
We agreed to have another meeting the following week but in the meantime I had time to think more clearly and realized no pay rise would take the edge off being unhappy and I’m actually doing fine for cash too -I just put aside $6000 these last few months.
So I told them I’d changed my mind and asked to work 4 days instead of 5 for the same pay plus the job of running staff training once a month for extra pay while keeping my 2 months holiday a year
...and they said yes!
last week was my first 4 day week and it’s a holiday here on monday so I’ve got 4 days off -sweet, sweet leisure time how I love thee!
I got a 20% pay rise
