I work as a “direct support professional”, basically a caretaker for people with developmental disabilities. The pay is usually $15, which is ass, but for the holidays I’m makin some bank. Double pay is uncommon for holidays in this field I think (usually 1.5x pay) but my workplace is really desperate lol
Yeah, just for the holiday. Still, ~$300 in one 10 hour shift is very nice. My last paycheck was ass because I had to call in one of my shifts, but this next one is gonna be incredible I think. Incredible relatively ofc, as in I’ll be able to afford rent without having an existential crisis about my finances for a couple weeks 😅
What job do you have that’s paying you this good?

So, is this a temporary raise?
