Finally got out of that fucking tutoring role! Finally no more being absolutely fleeced by a boss who pulls in 200K a year but absolutely can't give a raise in line with inflation because they don't take inflation into account.

Today is a good day, goddamn

My wife was also ripped off big-time tutoring undergrads a few years back. The class pay was good. The marking pay was abysmal. She had something like 20 minutes to mark each paper. Some of them were that quick, but some of them took twice as long. If it took longer, she was basically unpaid.
