Trying not to stress out

This might be long so thanks for reading if you do. So, I’ve posted on here a few times about my job situation, so bear with me lol I’m going through it. Trying not to spiral and keep a level head and I guess I just need to vent lol. So my job is doing a “restructure” to my position (I work in healthcare). Tbh, they stay changing things constantly. But this time, they’re essentially trying to change everything. My job description, schedule, etc. I’m honestly so burnt out with all the changes, but I’m hanging in there mainly bc I signed a sign on bonus 2 years ago that’s up in May and luckily that’s when all these changes are going into effect. They’re changing my schedule to one that I can’t work bc I have 2 kids in school and daycare that I have to pick up. The main reason I even applied to this job in the first place is bc the hours somewhat aligned with my kids schedule, and they know that, they hired me knowing that, so it’s not a surprise. I’m already willing to compromise working occasional weekends and holidays so getting additional childcare during the week on top of daycare is not financially realistic for us. My husband’s schedule is already unreliable, so that means I’m the default parent. Idk what I’m going to do if they aren’t willing to compromise on the work schedule. I can apply to other jobs but honestly, I have been this whole time and I haven’t even been able to find much of anything similar to this one which is what I need. This job may be annoying and stressful, but it’s close, pays well and I’m able to be present as a parent for the most part. I’m thankful to not have any debts right now and I have a decent savings, but idk what do to and it’s stressing me out…idk if I should just save up some more until May and then quit while I take up a certification for my resume which can help open up more job opportunities and keep looking for something else since they’re trying to push me out…I’m not feeling like a have much of a choice at this point either 🤷‍♀️ …. I already talked to my hubs about this I just needed to vent about it.. ugh adulting sucks

Adulting sucks when we have to consider working around our kids schedules. So it sounds like with the new schedule you’ll have to increase the cost of daycare. Since you have stated this isn’t financially realistic… the changes just won’t work. Is there another position at the company you can do?

@Nai no, nothing. The only other position I applied to, I didn’t get.

I get that, but it was 2 years ago right ? Could you try again?

Honestly I would say have a look around and see if you can find another job but I know how bad the job market is at the moment. If you don't manged to find something by may than I would say quit as it doesn't make sense you staying there then have to spend more money on childcare as you mentioned you have savings so hopefully that will tie you over till you find the right job. Hope you find a better job 🤞🏽

@Nai no that one I’m talking about was recent. There aren’t many internal positions available right now that I’m looking for so it makes it harder to find something .

@Suada thank you 🙏🏽

Tell them you need a raise to pay for the extra childcare that will be needed?
