Harriette Cole: I love my boss, but I need to get out of this job fast
"For many companies, this year has been a challenge financially. Yes, the new policies that have been put in place by the federal government have impacted many businesses, the fallout of that is not fully known yet. Does that mean you should leave your job? You certainly can look around to see if there are more lucrative opportunities, but do so discreetly and with care. I believe in abundance, which fundamentally means that there is enough to go around for everyone."
"I want to take a vacation with my best friend, but I don't have the money to do so right now, and I feel incredibly embarrassed about it. We typically take a trip together every year, and it's something we both look forward to because it helps us reconnect and make memories. This year, however, everything is different: I lost my job a few months ago and had to take another job that pays a lot less just to stay afloat."
An employee reports being grossly underpaid while work intensity remains high and company finances suffer from tariffs and DEI cutbacks. The employee loves the work and the boss but needs more income to survive. Recommended actions include discreetly exploring more lucrative opportunities, considering ways to help the company recover, and keeping an eye out for part-time supplementary work or financially secure employers who can pay better wages. A second person cannot afford an annual vacation after losing a higher-paying job and taking a lower-paying position, and feels embarrassed and unable to bring up the trip with her friend.
