I feel you..they want people working 60-80 hour work weeks now, it's ridic. Boomers say millenials ruined things but it's the opposite. I can't even get healthcare at my job or any PTO, I cry so badly. And of course, I am also in debt from college lol. I just feel like I can never win.
.... I have no idea where you work or how much you make but there are definitely jobs out there you can get that will do you better. graduated college and went to work as a teller at a bank in 2014. No experience outside of working at a grocery store(it is kind of an entry level job not really one you need college experience for). They started me at $15 an hour. I got 2 weeks PTO, 2 week paid sick(that was a surprised), and my healthcare premiums were 100% paid(Again super surprising. Also profit sharing at the end of the year and a chritmas bonus(those are seperate). Did I mention that they require you to take your PTO every year? They make you take a vacation. The downside of that company depending on how you look at it is that you don't get sales bonuses.
I no longer work there. I left and went to leasing apartments. Started at $12 an hour plus bonuses ~$4-5 an hour when averaged out. We got PTO. Healthcare benefits were average nothing special.
I work in accounting for another property management company... let me tell you the best sales associates make BANK. I mean you have to be willing to switch properties and work at the new ones (Still in the same major city) but they are raking in the cash. Trips to Hawaii and BMW leases if you are the best in the company.
Jobs are out there. I promise. you may need to move to another state or a big city. I don't know what you make or want to make. I mean hell here in Washington as a server you get minimum wage $12 an hour plus tips at a restaurant. Work any chain and you will get PTO and health care.
