I am at the end of my tether, don't know which way to turn, hoping someone might have some advice.
My job is a mess. I trained in my profession around 2012, and had a few good jobs between then and now. I did 3 years in one job, then moved away and worked for a few years, and then I worked in my last 'good' job after that where I enjoyed the work (although I had a fair bit of stress) and was paid well.
I moved back to my hometown in 2018 and I have been on a slippery slope since.
I worked in an office for a year, temping. Then in 2019 got a job as a contractor, and it took me a while to build up clients. In Feb 2020 I had reached the number of clients I had aimed for. Then the rest is history - cancellations and no work in the space of a few days.
I got a homebased job late last year, and it started well. I am assigned classes by the employer, and they create my timetable. I started out with over 10 classes a day, and now, I am at 1-5. I have asked my employer if there is anything I am doing that is affecting my workload. They keep giving me wishy-washy comments and saying it's not me, it's just the way it is working at the moment.
I get paid hourly, and some days they have even scheduled a class at 11.00am and one at 12.30pm and with nothing else. This isn't viable really.
I am just at the end of my tether with it. I feel depressed and like I gave up a good job and I am now just flailing. My income has been decimated and my career and day to day routine are pathetic. I have no other training.
I would go for a full time proper job, but I have no other experience and have no idea where to start. I am happy to temp again, but it doesn't last long and I don't know where it would end up.
In my situation, what would you do? Thanks in advance
