Thanks Angela
Food for thought:
I once "nickled and dimed", so to speek, one part-time employer against the other to see who would receive my services on a full time basis as I would have to leave one position. The ten cent raise wins... It took me two months to negotiate and the non winning employer got me to agree to continue part-time until I was replaced and after three months they still did not replace me and I had to submit another resignation with a termination date as I was exhausted from working 60 to 70 hours per week and juggling shifts.
As you can see it is always what is in the best interest of the employer not the employee. But either way ten cents is ten cents. The career was the same and the pay rate was the same. The difference was I get medical benefits and a ten cent raise if I play one against the other and it worked.
Always look to see what is being offered in your career area. You never know what opportunity you might have unless you are open for change and looking to see what is available.
