When I just graduated from university, then I found a job. However, at that time I quit the job soon because there would be something that I wasn't satisfied. Sometimes I wasn't interested in the work, or sometimes I hated overtime work etc. This is why I quit my job continuously to find another better job. But later I realized that it was not possible to find an ideal job. I have been stable ten years 8 years ago and don't quit my job anyway.

LOL , yes,an ideal job is hard to hunt. this July,I have finished my four years' college study .It is time to hunt a good job ,but I know it exists a serious problem for college students to hunt a job that is we don't have any working experience.So, i choose to go on my post-graduate education .Perhaps ,it is a evasion to enter society.

I have only ever quit my job once and that was because I just couldn't stand it any longer and it wasn't much of a career, I was being treated like a child and I hated it, it was only as a bakery assistant, part time just to get some money in, I stuck it out for 13 months and in the end decided enough was enough, it took 6 months till I got another job, and I managed to survive financially but I had no regrets, it didn't do my self esteem any good and I wasn't happy with the management either. Life is too short even in a job to be very unhappy.

I never made anything, I just sold the bread and cakes, that was the easy part my friend, but I did make doughnuts that was quite fun, but it put me off eating doghnuts for life, I see how they are made and I vowed NEVER to eat a doughnut again, ewww, might be a good thing as they are bad for you!

I didn't often quit and change my jobs, but if there were no need for me to stick to a job, i will quit and change to another one. sometime, changing job is a progress, maybe you can learn more and have greater progress in another company. that's my idea.

It is very true. I graduated last year and have often felt unsatisfied with the jobs out here. I have been with my current job for the past 6 months and I think I may have found the right fit. Nothing is perfect, but I think it will pit me on the path to what I want in my life and that is how I will look at it. It is a different world coming out of college and having life not what you expected.

i quitted my job when i was working as a bagger at a grocery store, that's when i became a high school senior for about a month... i really didn't hate my job, i did think about quitting it and getting another job, but i decided to stay since there were some coworkers that i got along with... but then again the manager was an @$$hole and she just mentally made me quit the darn thing -_-;;
but nowadays whatever job you have, it wouldn't be so easy making a decision to quit it, especially if you want to think about your financial situations and the unemployment in the nation is like way way way up there...

i have experienced that too... at first i was excited that i was hired by the company but later, after the training, i quit... i thought it was not the right job for me.. but later, i realized that what i did was wrong.. i should have stayed, in the first place. well that was past and i expect to learn something from it. so probably the next time i won't do that again...

I quit my previous job because I don't like the management. They're not considerate enough for their employee to think its their shortcomings. It's like this, office ours is 9am - 6pm daily except Sundays. Our office is in the 5th floor. Worst thing is you have to take the stairs to climb up, you're not allowed to use the elevator. When you are the 5th floor, you still have to fall in-line to swipe in. The thing is there is only 1 swipe machine that serves almost 500 employees. Then when your time captured 9:01am you're late as good as 15 mins. Then in the afternoon you are allowed 15 mins break, and the food canteen is in the lower ground floor. Again not allowed to take the elevator, that's 5 floors up and 5 floors down you must do. I get enough of them so I quit.

yes i do. but there was no place i worked in, that was free of politics office or labor and had a boss with dignity. i have no problem being blamed when i was wrong, but since i always took things seriously and made a note of every single detail, i really didn't make much mistake compared to everyone else. if not the boss said one thing and did another, the co workers would somehow ruined my work or not cooperating. the strange thing was if i didn't cooperate i would be yelled at or warned, but other people didn't have to go through this because they are either the boss' friends or have worked there for longer than i have. also, if they screwed up, i didn't always tell the boss, yet if i did they would surely tell the boss or hr. and what sucks is that this happened to many times practically everywhere i worked i knew that nobody would listen if i told them my side of the story and so i chose to leave before it affected my health more. i did try to tell them, but since nobody took it seriously i just didn't bother try again. they said i leaned towards negativity, how can people be so blind, they ARE the negativity. but they do have a point, why should i work for or with negativity anyway? at least this time they are honest.

am not a quitter myself but several times i was pirated by those managers who believed in my capabilities. my present employment was the last time i was pirated and am on my 11th year now. now i learned that jumping from one company to another is not beneficial because you will not earn your years of experience meaning your retirement benefit will be crucial. being in one company for a long time means you can handle different kinds of characters, your not over sensitive to insulting words, you can work under pressure and considerate and open to all verbal and written communications. mistakes while working are normal but one should not leave his table without correcting it and on the process should learn from it not to take it negatively but constructively.

i quit my job depends on situation. If my boss is not good, the salary is not good, and if i didnt enjoy the job assigned to me. But presently i'm enjoying my job and the people around me so i guess theres no reason to quit.Ive been in this job for 5 years.

Yes I actually quit my job if I get bored from it. The only job that I wouldn't quit is when I worked at Tower Records but unfortunatley they lay us off because they closed down already. So anything with music, I will stay for good or a long time. Just go where your passion is.
