DH thinks I'm an idiot for even considering.
I have worried agency in a busy ward environment for the past 5 years. 3-4 nights a week, it's killing me! We're enjoying my salary however i can't carry on like this.
So I applied for and got a job at a very prestigious hospital in a department I've always wanted to work in, change is as good as a rest etc, but DH saw my contract tonight and it's hit him that my salary will go down.
Currently I earn £15.31 per hour and will be going down to 11.77 per hour.
I know it's a lot less but the job is permanent and I've been wanted to not do nights for years and I've not gone up a pay band for years so that would be nice.
We're currently not speaking and I've told him I'm taking the job whether he supports me or not, and that it's my turn to have a job I want instead of working around his business. We have no children it won't really affect us other than disposable income, but I worked out tonight that even with my 'pay cut' we'll have £1000 a month after bills which is more than enough to me!
