Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

[Scarlett]

I've worked 3 hours a week teaching at a private stage school for 3 years. They pay me way below the going rate, and i have to spend a great deal of time learning new work, writing it out, preparing it each week for the hour I get paid. I do not feel valued- the boss is surly, never thanks me and I constantly feel like I have to tiptoe round them. She is now dating a good friend of mine which has made things trickier. I am finding it emotionally exhausting doing this job, but I do need the money. Is this just what work is like?! Is everyone in the same boat as me- not enjoying it, feeling overworked and underpaid, feeling on the verge of being bullied, but keep doing it for the money? I haven't had any one to one time to discuss things in 3 years, and I think it would make things impossible if I spoke my mind. Should I just leave?!

I'm hoping a mod sees this spam and removes it quickly

Start looking for another job...once you got another one, just leave this one....no brainer and best of luck, scarlett

The mod's are either asleep or watching Eastenders.....or fell asleep watching Eastenders.

I can advise the same as the guys before. Have a look around for something new. However I can say you won't find the perfect job anyway! The misconception of finding the right job is widely spread! In some cases you have to adjust yourself, nevertheless there is always a limit. In the end I can recommend take a second for yourself, think about your situation deeply and if you can't take it anymore stop it!
Good Luck in the future! :)

Why do you think that ? If your boss is dating your good friend and you feel inhibited about speaking outright to her, can you not ask your friend to mention how you feel by dropping it into conversation?
