Just called my local TDS about getting a job....

[antkim]

I'm going out of my mind staying home lately. I watch my friends kids 4 days a week and have been doing this for 12 years now. I think I really need a change. The problem is I'm due to have another baby in October so doing daycare would probably be the better option. Plus the money is not good at TDS- minimum wage. The benefits are great though as far as WDW goes!!!!! Is a pay cut worth saving my sanity? Maybe it's just my hormones kicking in lately. HELP!!!!

P.S. they had daytime openings at TDS so I know I could get some shifts!

I would be cautious getting a job there... there is another thread on the rumors & news board that TDS will be laying off a lot of people.

Really! Thank you for your response. I'm going to look for that thread now.

Many TDS' are hiring, but the company is in the process of closing stores and is actively trying to sell the rest. One persistent rumopr is that there is already a buyer. If they are sold the question of continuing Disney benefits will undoubtedly come into play. Currently there are close to 400 stores operating, but rumors range from closing 100 stores all the way to leaving only 150 or so open.

I don't think it is worth the risk for me. I guess kids it is for awhile!LOL I just thought a change would do me some good but there's always another time. Realistically I should continue this for at least another year-until DS and his friend I watch are in kindergarten. There will be more opportunity for me to do something else then. I think the hormones are killing me!
