OK I have a dilemma in my life… and I want some opinions
I currently work for a non-profit organization as a tele-fundraiser, constituent relations specialist, double duty basically. I really do enjoy the rewards I get from working there. It is awesome to be able to say that I help people everyday, but I strongly disagree with some of the tactics being forced upon me to raise money. I personally do not like being downright mean and rude to people. Now don’t get me wrong, I can get pissed in my everyday life and be mean, but it is with good reason. My bosses try to force us to do 2 and 3 asks on the phone asking for money. It’s really starting to affect me. I don’t like going there and having to give people rebuttals over and over on the phone practically berating them for money. I was taught at a young age that no means no and to leave it alone, but my bosses seem to disagree. I seriously dread going to work everyday, because I’m afraid of my boss and what she may do to me next… she is a scary Bosnian woman. HAHA. I really would like to try and make changes to their fundraising tactics, but I doubt that is feasible in my current position.
Or, I could quit and go back to my old job at a gay bar I used to work at. I was their lead server for a year and have been told multiple times that I was the best server they have ever had and can have my job back anytime I want it. I just can’t stand the drama that you get wrapped up in. Being there everyday you can’t help but get involved (no matter how hard you try to stay out of it).
Now at both jobs I can sustain my living financially, it’s just more unpredictable from the bar and I always used to hate that, because you never know what you are going to walk home with, but the earning potential is unlimited. Also at the bar it is crazy late hours and I won’t have a life (Friday and Saturday nights are the best nights) I mean it’s not like I have a life now… LOL I work so much. The positive is I can work way less hours at the bar and make the same amount of money.
I would love to be able to just stop working and concentrate on school and my adult industry career right now, but I just need a little more income before this industry can pay all the bills. So, I must punch a clock for a while longer
Anyway, I just needed to get this off my chest… hopefully I can get some feedback as to what some of you think I should do…
Thanks, Sky
