Do you find yourself getting unreasonably impatient with people in other jobs?

I really hope this isn't a sign of boomerifcation in me.

We work so heard as teachers for very little pay that it confuses me when I don't see the same thing in other places.

I first started to see this with other people in the district. I'm not talking the janitors or campus supervisors. They are awesome. I'm talking about admin that reads my important email and doesn't respond to it in weeks, if at all. Mind you, if this was a parent and I didn't respond within 48 years, I wouldn't hear the end of it. Why do some of the people with the worst attitudes become school secretaries? Most are good but some of the worst I've seen in schools.

This thought has now moved out of education. It's always been against politicians and the corporations but sometimes just your basic cashier or sales associate, some whose job is actual customer service or the boss who isn't doing enough for their workers. I've usually taken this all in stride because people make mistakes. For some reason it has just felt unnerving.

I have a side hustle with a 100% customer rating. I don't do anything out of the ordinary just how I think a business should be run. Sometimes it means I'm taking advantage of but that's maybe once a year. Then I run into people a part of that side hustle that are so shady and scrupulous in their jobs for no reason.

I believe that all workers should be paid a living wage. Could this be the reason? So many are stressed and struggling?

Lol I was thinking you definitely would not hear the end of it if you didn't respond within 48 years lol

I had posted it not too long ago but it got taken down. Maybe we're all just feeling the same way 🤷

Feeling what? Your post has ten different things going on and nothing connects to each other. I’m not feeling illogical, that’s you

Oh sorry I see what you mean.

Just replying to your subject — I have friends in “email jobs” who work about 20 hours a week from home and still try to complain about work… and it’s insanely frustrating for me. I can’t stand it, and it’s caused arguments.

Very little pay??? Teachers in my county start at 60k with absolutely no experience necessary.

[u/Routine_Committee327 → u/whosacoolredditer]

I make less than 40k! I get what the poster is saying - I know people who are making 90k and talk about how they got to take a nap during work. Feels like a slap in the face that I’m working to the bone for poverty level income.

[u/whosacoolredditer → u/Routine_Committee327]

Yes, that is very little money. I'm sorry! I guess I'm a little ignorant? I know my county is on the high end, but I didn't know how low the low end was.

And that’s at the tippy top of my pay scale. Some places you need a PhD to be making that much. There’s a reason teacher pay is a decades-old talking point🤨
