Employee considers quitting during week 1 of new job making 3x their previous salary because of disorganization: 'Is this a joke?'

Is there an amount of money that you would take to do a job that you didn't love?

Every job comes with some amount of sacrifice. Maybe it's not exactly what you would like to be doing, or maybe it's less money than you would like. Rarely do the two factors meet in the perfect way. So you're likely deciding which is more important to you, and just what you can tolerate for however long. This is part of having a job. But that doesn't mean that there aren't some extra determining factors that make a job worth sticking around for or not. When an organization is disorganized, then everything tends to fall apart. You don't want to feel like you're stepping into a mess that someone else made. Especially if they expect you to clean it up.

Management style is also a huge factor in whether or not you'd want to stay at a job. And this isn't always something you'll be able to tell through an interview process. It's one thing to hear about a job. It's another to actually do it and to actually see how your coworkers and management communicate. A mismatch in communication style might spell disaster for a team. It can make every task feel difficult and imagining room for growth impossible. If you don't mesh with the community you're in, then you might not want to spend all of your time there. But what level of discomfort are you willing to tolerate for a paycheck?

Money means different things to different people. Having your salary tripled might make a huge difference in your life, or it might mean marginally more stability. It depends on your relationship to it and how much you make of it. The person in this story was at a crossroads, and they weren't quite sure how to move forward. They had already jumped ship from a toxic job, but were worried that they might be stepping into a new, even more tough-to-swallow position.
