Most of you know I am a teacher but because I require a lifestyle that involves much glitter and red wine, I have a second job at Starbucks. Despite working at Sbux for seven years without a single write up, no-call no show, disciplinary action, or complaint--do you have ANY idea how hard that is in retail--I am being let go because my availability "no longer works for them." In reality, there are three of us on the chopping block, and it's because of our seniority. I mean, I'm going to fight it, but I don't think I'll be successful. 
They want everyone to work 25 hours except the store manager, which means the SSVs (shift supervisors) who work 30+ will have their hours cut and those who are truly part time, under 20 hours, have to up theirs. This in the long term is not going to work--25 hours is too little for full time, but too much to have another part time job, and too much for part time/school, but hey, nothing I can do about that as of August 12th. Not my coffee, not my creamer. No use crying over charred coffee beans.
Now to the first point, I need a supplement. I'd like to find something that clears about $300-400/month. Since I am a teacher, my schedule is limited to after 4pm and week-ends. My car is not up to the standards of Uber/Lyft, and it makes no sense to get a new car to get a job just to pay the car note, esp as my car is fine, it's just old. I'm looking at work-from-home jobs and it's just really hard to tell which are scams, scam-adjacent (MLM), and just cleverly-disguised cold-call/sales. It doesn't have to be something that is all that interesting, it can be downright boring and senseless, but something I can sit down in front of my computer 15-20 hours a week at my leisure, which might be at 5pm on Tuesday or 3am on Saturday or during lunch or my planning period. A Costco is opening near my school and I think that might be fun, but I missed the big hiring wave, cause I didn't know I would need to be hired. I'm going to apply at all the coffee shops around here as well. My manager did tell me she'd be happy to give a reference--a glowing one, so that's good.
I can be somewhat picky as I now do make jussst enough from my real job teaching to pay all my major bills (rent/food/utilities), but there's nothing else. We get paid once a month, which is hard to budget. I like the security of knowing money is coming in from somewhere every two weeks.
So...suggestions? And yes, I've looked on indeed, glass ceiling, open door, LinkedIn, but the amount of scams are just
It's hard to tell to whether something is legitimate but badly written or a bot who wants my PayPal info.
