Hello everyone,
I probably should post this in r/depression too but i figured i would try here.
I started working for county job back in 2015 and worked their for about 10 months and a vendor position opened up from which i was making 14.30 an hour to 18.00 an hour. The company is based out of a large city 120 miles away from the site i maintain. I have to maintain around 13,000 devices within warranty for 26 sites in the area. Hours I work is 52 weeks of the year 5 days a week roughly $37,500 a year.
I have to use my car to pick up laptops or work on computers onsite which i get 45 cents a mile.
Well i have been at the company for a year and a half today and have worked my ass off and worn my car pretty badly over time too. in the past year i have had 3 managers go in and out. 3 Months ago i asked for a raise and my manager which is a really nice guy but everything even over his head on these things said "There are no raises consider this a stepping stone" I confirmed this with research people have been within the company for over 5 years without raises.
Living is rather expensive for me since i live in an expensive area and take care of my disabled mother. Rent is 1150 a month and bills including insurance and car payments add an additional $800. Only reason why we have been on top is since my mother gets a disability check for 725 each month. Currently have 10K in savings for emergencies and moving.
I have been searching on dice and indeed and other job sites For the last 3 months i have been looking for a job. I have a BS in information management and cyber security. My Comptia security+ & A+ and over 7 years in information technology but i never get phone calls back on resumes. It seems like im stuck in a hole i cant dig out of.
