Got new job
5 years ago
General
Good news -- I was given an offer for employment, and will start this Monday the 13th.
The not so good news -- it is an entry level position, and as such my pay will be just over half of what I was making at the job I lost last month (I had been there for 10 years, in a place that consistently scores high among the "worst places to work for" in the US). At least I won't have to deal with the "outsourced headaches" I had at my previous job.
What this means is that while I will not be as pressured to make money from art, I will announce whenever I open for commissions/YCHs/adoptables in order to earn some extra money. And I will keep looking for opportunities for other careers, whether at the new place or in other workplaces.

Just be careful, and don't get sick while doing it.
Getting a decent job in these dark times is gift that must be treasured!
Sorry you had to work at Comcast. :(
On a serious note, I know the feeling. I've been stuck in an entry level position for the better part of a year now. I just keep reminding myself that my situation is far from unique (heck, I'd even go so far as to say it's commonplace these days)
Just for clarification, was it your old job that was the "worst place to work for," or the one you're starting at?
