Struggling to decide what to do with work at the moment. Come April 1st, because of the rise in minimum wage and my lack of pay rise again this year, I will be on just 30p an hour more than minimum wage. I have a lot of responsibilities and stress at work and whilst I really love my job and the flexibility it gives, if my employer can’t give me a substantial pay rise to start April 1st I feel I’m going to have to leave for the sake of my mental health. Knowing I could work the same hours in a very minimally stressed job that ends when my work days ends just adds to the pressure of my job and I don’t want the stress and pressure without financial compensation.
