I work in a union, so when jobs come open we have to bid on them. Recently a job came open for a hourly working lead, which is basically shift supervisor, but you get paid hourly and are still union, instead of being a boss and being salary and being a non-union employee. It pays well, but I’m not sure I can handle the stress and responsibility that comes with it. I’m not sure that I’ll even get the job, but if it’s offered to me I’m not sure if I should take it.

If you think you can handle it then go for it. If not are you taking care of everything with what you currently earn?

Worth trying it out, I would go for it
@anon68237654 Would you still be working rotating shifts if you got the promotion?

I’m worried that it might trigger a break, or what would happen if another break happened while in that position. And I make enough to support us for now, but as the kids get older they cost more money, so idk if what I’m making now will always be enough.
@moonbeam, I would still be working the same schedule basically. I think they rotate slightly different, but it would still be every day and every shift.

Well I just had my interview for the job. They sprung it on me, so I felt unprepared, and there was four interviewers, so that made me anxious, but I think I did ok.

I can’t sleep. I think I want this job more than I originally thought, because I keep stressing, going over what I said in the interview in my head over and over.
Well, I hope you get the promotion! Try to get some sleep too.

I recently changed jobs. The stress is hard to cope with but it beats not doing it. My work is the only thing I really achieve with my time and I value it a lot.
I was off for months before and I hated it so much. Work is such a good distraction.

I don’t have any great advice. I would just say make the decision that is best for you. I am sure you will do great should you choose to take it. Congrats on the interview. Good Night
