Feeling so frustrated that MDs can't be bothered to articulate... The company I work for "dings" me for blanks...but their QA is merciless about mistakes. (Non-critical, stupid grammatical issues, i.e., "The son agreed with the plan" versus "HIS son agreed with the plan.")
I am feeling like I can't do this anymore. I am GOOD at what I do, but when audio sucks, what do they expect? I am screwed no matter what I do. If I made more than $13 an hour, (which took me years to reach), maybe I would be able to take this kind of relentless nit picking with a grain of salt. On $13 an hour, I can't afford the freaking salt!!
Starbucks is looking like a way better employment option...I just hate throwing away the years of knowledge I have under my belt.
Anyone else have advice how to push ahead? I feel like I made a huge mistake getting into this field, but I have SO MUCH time invested in it that the thought of walking away hurts my heart.
Thanks for listening if you made it this far. :)
