I recently found myself in a tough spot after switching jobs. I left my previous position at Job A at the end of May for a new role that promised a better work/life balance and a great schedule. However, shortly after starting, I discovered that they were cutting hours, which forced me to look for something else. I ended up taking a temp-to-hire position about 40 minutes away, which was advertised as a Monday to Friday job with no weekends. But during orientation, they mentioned they hadn’t worked a weekend in ages, only to find out an hour later that the schedule actually required 60 hours a week, including weekends! Feeling frustrated, I received a call from Job A asking if I wanted to come back. It would mean working weekends, but only every other week, and I’d be back to a job that I know well and is just 10 minutes from home. Now I'm torn. My husband is upset with me for switching jobs so quickly, especially since he has a stable 40-hour salary job with a predictable schedule. I’m worried about how it looks to have three jobs in just two months. But honestly, with the way Job B misled me about the schedule, I feel justified in wanting to return to Job A. I’m just not sure if it will reflect poorly on me in the long run.
