Hi friends,
I have an urgent and personal prayer request for a work-related situation. I’ve been a longtime loyal employee of the same non-profit for over two decades, but due to what amounts to a pay scale misunderstanding I may end up having over 1/5th of my paycheck lost as of this year, a situation I’m not sure my family and I can sustain. I’ve done the same work for a long time and haven’t had a reason or opportunity to build up any other marketable skills other than the handful I have now.
In addition my family, though small, has some pretty hefty health problems – cancer, recurring endometriosis and other serious “female” issues, and now a possible diagnosis of leukemia or a related disorder (so yes, please pray for those things too). While these health issues are not my employer’s responsibility, like all health problems they make the money woes worse. And my employer offers some truly generous benefits packages, which complicates matters – I can’t just leave to start a new job unless the benefits there are also great, but I don’t think we can absorb the loss of pay if I stay under those conditions.
There’s a possibility that I can take a different position in the organization which would relieve the problem, and it’s a great place with great people working there, but it’s by no means a sure thing. So, please pray for clarity, peace, patience, a good result, and acceptance of whatever may come. Thank you, Catholic Answers Family!
