Work woes.
I went in and told Pam, my old boss, that I was going to quit and move to another job on campus. She wants me to stay, but she can understand why I want to leave. She said, with me even telling her anything about what has been going on (she's been on vacation) that she doesn't blame be because my supervisor has been really mean to me as of late.
I don't want that to be the sole reason for me leaving! Yes, that plays a part, but I want to work in my field. I told her that I think it would look good on a resume if I worked in PR and special events, since that is what I want to do with my life. Right now, I work in the President's Office on campus, and she thinks that my current job would look better than the PR job.
My major here is very broad: Organizational Leadership. Since we don't have a Special Events major, I figure this would be a good jumping off point. That is partially why I want the other job. So it looks like I'm actually working towards a career.
Grr...I do feel bad. I mean, Pam has been a great boss and friend. I feel like I'm just ditching out on her. She understands though. I just need to go and make sure my pay isn't going to be an issue. Currently, I am the highest paid worker on campus. I make $8.50 an hour. I'm afraid that if I switch offices, I will have to go back down to $6.30 an hour. That being a more than $2 drop an hour...I don't know if I can take that. I'll really have to sit down and weigh my options.
I just hate this.
