Would you quit your job because of one co worker?

No, I will never quit my job because of one of the co worker. If I was right on my part I will never feel sorry for anything. I will ignore that person and simply continue my job and serve my best.

I wouldn't quit if I didn't have another job to go to! That's just silly!

I think that is a little drastic. Especially if that is a really good job and wants to stay there. You would think that they could try and manage working with that person or like you said transfer to another area or get different hours from that person. Do you think that he is just using that as an excuse for quitting? I don't think this is a good time in the economy to just be quitting jobs either. From what I hear a few of my friends are having a hard time getting jobs and I have heard other people talk about people getting fired at places they have been for years and years.

it really depends on the type of work. i use to be in the restraunt business and there are a lot of complainers there. people complain about the tips they recieve, about not being sat in order and so on. however, my old boss was a jerk. if he was managing that night no one would see him until later in the night say around 9 pm when we would close the doors at 9:30. and when we did see him he was always complaining that his staff was stupid and couldnt take care of themselves. it was like he had to baby sit us or something. he was a difficult man to work for. it got so bad that we didn't get paid when we were suppose to - or if we did get a check there would be no money in the account and the check would bounce. it was a horrible company to work for. but the nightly tips made up for most of what the management lacked. i made some friends there but it wasn't a job for those who had a thin skin. John the owner would really beat you to the ground if you let him.

If that is the case. It is better to quit than to kill. LOL She better shift to other section or place for to work properly and to aviod his co-worker.

Yes,he is somewhat too drastic. I think the problem is exciting in every company. Just quit because of one co-worker is not so wise. But maybe everyone has his own thought. IF he think it deserves to give up a job to leave an dislike person.

I don't think what he did was right. I mean, if he is doing his job correctly, then he should not quit just because of one person complaining about him. I think it is right that you told him to talk to the manager. It was also right for you to suggest to have him transferred to a different shift. He should not buckle down just because 1 person was complaining about him. I wish your friend will listen to you and reconsider his decision. A good job is hard to find nowadays. I wish him well and you too.

why would i quit? he's not my boss., and if i know that i am doing my job well and i am on the right track then i wouldn't quit.,

Isn't that too bad that one person can make another so miserable they have to quit? I probably wouldn't if I needed the job....but on the other hand I wouldn't let someone bully me. In fact once you stand up to a bully....they run!! Good for you that you have tried to resolve the problem for him....but nothing can be ammended until they get to the root of the problem....I am not understanding why management hasn't done anything to help the situation....

I might consider quiting cos of a co-worker but not when i havent found a job yet to fall back into. A healthy working environment is really necesary for purposeful work and output.working in a tensed atmosphere results in mood swings and confusions and a lot of unwanted fights and misunderstanding.So working environment really matters to me

Well, I'm sure that he thought that management would care enough about him as an employee to address his concerns. This, along with the woman's behavior, must be very disappointing for him. And, his quality of life, in the workplace, is probably seriously affected. If I were him, though, I would try to look for another job before quitting this one. But, if the environment is making him miserable, and he's tried to change things with no luck, I don't blame him for wanting to leave the frustration and aggravation behind. If this woman is in the wrong, management will probably discover that in the future and maybe he will be able to eventually come back to this company .. if he even wants to.

I think this is sad, quitting a good job over a non-significant person. It's even sadder that he is leaving without another job yet. I'm surprised your friend would take such a step, as this woman is not his supervisor, and therefore whatever she says will have no effect on his appraisals. If I were him, I would confront this woman and ask her what her problem is. After all, if I am doing my job well and correctly, and my manager supports me, I've nothing to fear from her. The worst scenario is, I'd ask her to stop complaining, (unless it is valid), or I'll write a formal letter reporting her to the management, for 'mental torture', thus, hindering me from doing my job.

i think that kind of problem regarding co worker should be address to the HR Department for consultation and for further actions.. knowing your bound in the company, you should do those kind of matters the company's way..

Yeah it is drastic. But i can completely understand his mindset. I dont know why but it resembles my situation so much that i feel its written about me with a little detail changed. If thats so, i wish to inform that i dont want to quit job, but would certainly work in some other project if she continues doing what she is doing now to me. i think its a purposeful action plan on me.

No I wouldnt.If she is not his supervisor then she has no reason to complain about him. maybe he needs to go to someone higher up than the manager or maybe he just wants to quit.Have a great night.

That is a little drastic. Someone' shouldn't quit their job while the other co worker is causing disturbance. The other co worker should be fired for causing irritation and such. If I were in that situation, I would just confront the other co worker and talk to him and tell him to stop. If the problem persists, I would talk to my manager to sort something out. I would not fight.

i understand his predicament. nowadays its really difficult to quit from a job due to day to day increase in prices of goods. however being in the job everyday with annoying people, working harmoniously will not be ever reach. that person will just add to his stress. despite his efforts to avoid that person and even ask the management to do something about it but to no avail makes him more stressed and may result to a mistake in the job. if it will happen to me i'll do the same move. we are in the same level and yet his acting to be someone. eventhough i dont want to quit i have to or else i can make a drastic move to that person that will just destroy my name and my career...

Hello sdmoonchild, That is called bullying,I wish he wasen't quitting his job, I would have out with her, when she complained about his job he should told her if she is not happy about she could do it herself, but is she allowed to carry on without been told off? no I would stand my ground instead of leaving and means she has won. Tamarafireheart.

His actions may be drastic, but if he is not happy and he has tried to work around it already, it is better to get out now than to suffer. Hating to go to work can destroy his happiness in the long run. This way he can start looking for a new job and get away from that "woman".

I truly understand how he feels but in any organization there exist people such as that co-worker.If he feels that he cannot deal with it anymore and feels that he can easily replace it with another job, then leave. But I suggest not making a drastic decision. Manage to snap back at this person and not allowing himself to be a victim.People will respect strength.
