SHOULD I GO BACK TO WORK?

SO I LEFT MY JOB LAST FRIDAY BECAUSE I REFUSE TO BE TREATED WITH DISRESPECT. AND AS MY SON CALLS ME, I AM A ONE WOMAN LABOR BOARD. HA! AFTER I LEFT THE ENTIRE EVENING SHIFT LEFT WITHIN 5 DAYS.

SO YESTURDAY AS I WAS GETTING READY TO START MY HOUSEHOLD CHORES, IT HAPPENED, MY OLD JOB CALLED ME AND ASKED ME TO COME BACK. I GUESS THEY FEEL AS IF THEY CAN TOLERATE ME LONG ENOUGH TO FIND SOME STAFF.

SO AS I AM SITTING HER TODAY DEBATING ON GOING IN, I HAVE TO ASK MYSELF. IS IT REALLY WORTH IT? AND THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT, THE MORE I THINK NO, IT'S REALLY NOT.

I MEAN WHO WANTS TO WORK IN A PLACE WHERE DISRESPECT IS THE ONLY WAY THEY KNOW TO COMMUNICATE?

I AM NOT FROM MISSOURI, I AM FROM FLORIDA, AND COME FROM A FAMILY OF RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER, MEANING YES MAAM, NO MAAM, PLEASE AND THANK YOU'S.

WHEN WE MOVED HERE, I NEVER KNEW THAT I WOULD BE TAKING A HUGE PAY CUT. WE ARE TALKING HUGE. BUT I FIGURED SINCE MY PAYCHECKS WERE SPENDING MONEY, IT WASN'T THAT BIG OF A DEAL...........OMG HOW WRONG WAS I?

THE PLACE I WENT TO WORK DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE COMPETITIVE IN PAY. THEY START THESE POOR GIRLS OUT AT JUST ABOVE MINIMUM WAGE AND EXPECT THEM TO BUST THEIR ASSES, WOW, I AM JUST AMAZED AT THIS.

AFTER ABOUT 3 WEEKS OF DEALING WITH PEOPLE TALKING TO ME LIKE I AM A 5 YR OLD, I DECIDED TO QUIT. NOW KEEPING IN MIND, I DON'T HAVE TO WORK. MY HUSBAND TAKES CARE OF ME AND I TAKE CARE OF OUR HOUSEHOLD. THE BILLS ARE PAID, SO WE ARE HAPPY, WE DON'T NEED MUCH.

I SPOKE WITH MY BOSS YESTURDAY AND TOLD HER MY BIGGEST ISSUE WAS THE WAY PEOPLE SPOKE TO OTHER PEOPLE, AND IF THEY CAN'T GET IT RIGHT, THEN I DON'T NEED TO BE THERE. MY HUSBAND STANDS BEHIND ME NO MATTER WHAT DECISION I MAKE. SO NOW I AM SITTING HERE TODAY DEBATING ON WHETHER OR NOT TO GOTO WORK TODAY. I MEAN AM I GOING TO BE TREATED WITH THE SAME DISRESPECT I MET WITH WHEN I LEFT? OR IS IT GOING TO BE BETTER?

MY OTHER ISSUE IS, I HAVE A 15 YR OLD WHOS GRADES SLIPPED WHILE I WAS WORKING BEFORE, AM I WILLING TO RISK THAT?

I DON'T KNOW. I'M SURE I'LL FIGURE IT OUT BY 1 PM TODAY.

WISH ME LUCK IN DECISIONS.

LOVE YA ALL
JACKIE
