I've had enough, broken promises, shifty hours sometimes, and just too much stress. I hate it so much! I'm just going to give a two weeks notice and be done with it! I'll regret doing that next week and wish I still had the job. No wait I already feel different about it, I'll stay! I QUIT! I'm tired of this stuff! Yeah that's my emotions right now to do with my job. I almost put in my two weeks notice today but decided to wait. I've got to find a better job first, but then I think, well I think too much. I don't make enough at this job, that's for sure, and I'm not a fan of the hours sometimes. I've been over emotional as well lately, which doesn't help. Anyone else want to take their job and shove it?

I am an employee in IBM. Had to work for at least 7 hours/ day. Money is good but I don't like it. My boss(women) is a real F***er. She is only 3 months older than me. She always intentionally harasses me and then smiles a little. Yesterday she visited my house, chatted with my mom and sister almost for an hour, went into my room while giving me a strange look. After spending almost 90 mins. she left my house after giving me a hug and she whispered in my ears " Get yourself ready Brown head blue eyed lover boy, you're going to be daddy soon". So guys can anybody help me? I don't want to quit my job and i also don't know how to handle this situation. I think I need a life insurance policy. If you guys help me then I'll share something more.

This is my discussion, not yours. You should make your own discussion to get advice on it. From what I understnad you've already had relations with her and maybe she's pregnant?

Sorry to hear that things are not working out for you with your job at the minute. In your situation I would be looking for something else before I chuck it in as I would not like to be left jobless and penniless! Sometimes that's not an option though and having been in that boat before and jumped ship, things do eventually work out if needs must. The job I quit from before that I speak of, is now the job I'm back in. I was a lot happier coming back almost a year later, but now things are getting quite bad in there again with board politics etc. and it would make you want to chuck it in. That said, I know that I've got it good there with the hours and flexibility, so I'm going to have to stick with it. That and if I quit now, we'd be totally done for money-wise. Best of luck with whatever you end up doing SCG.

I may just end up calling it quits, I'm not sure. I will stick with it for as long as I can, but if I have to I will just go without work for awhile until I can find something else. In fact, in a way I'd mnuch rather have a few weeks of nothing in between a job. If I could get the hours I want at that job I'd be better, but I did put open availability. I may need to change that instead, and only be available certain times of the day.

Well, I just can't force myself when I don't like that job. I always tendered my resignation letters before I got a new job, though many people told me not to do so. I have to say, I am always lucky enough to get a new job when I need it. Also, I believe I can always get a job, if I really can't get one in my profession, I can always find a part-time job. I always told myself, I want to have my own life, and I don't want to force myself doing something I don' like, because life is short. Of course, I don't simply quit a job without any solid reasons, I did think carefully and judged if it's still worth for me to stay there longer.

I've tendered my "resignation" As you called it without giving much notice and in the USA that's not a good thing. I've quit without having another job lined up, and again that isn't a good thing. Honestly if I wanted to quit I have nothing but my phone as means of responsibility so I'd be okay until I could find another job, but I wouldn't have money to have with either so...

I have heard from somebody that there are jobs that can break you or make you. So either way, it sounds hard to me. I just hope I do not get to be in that case all the time. I hope you aren't really going to quit. Try not to entertain the idea so much, because once it broods in your mind it will give birth to the action itself. I don't really know how, but I hope you could find a way to lighten things up in your workplace. Good luck!

Well I do need to find another job before I go quitting the one I have now, that's for sure. I need to apply to a few places and follow up and hopefully get something. I'll be focusing on getting third shift at whatever I do go for though. I've worked third before and to me it feels like I didn't work anything, especially when the place I work at is quiet except for the workers.

Before taking up so many life changing discussions,you need to think a lot and get into it rather than taking decisions by haste and repenting about it later.it certainly is good but you do need to have a backup job before you quit would be my advice for you

"I've got to find a better job first, but then I think, well I think too much." I am very much aware of the fact that I need to have another job lined up.

Every job, even the most high paying and likable ones has a certain degree of stress. It only depends on how we deal with it everyday. Definitely, I would dumped anything that makes my life too stressful and can be so unhealthy. I'm thinking of getting a real day job soon, but not for now, since I really need money to cover my daily expenses and a reserve money, enough to last for months without this current job.

My job doesnt' pay me nearly as much as it really should. I want atleast $8.50 an hour but I get around 7.50, though I've gotten a raise I'm not sure how much of one I've gotten. Still, really wish I got paid more.

I have had this experience before the job i have now. I only stayed for 6 months in that work and could no longer take it and had to resign and leave. I was so pissed, it made me feel of lesser value, and it has demotivated me and has affected my relationships even. I think when this happens, it is just about right for us to actually leave and find another one where we can truly say that we are motivated, happy and is building a career. never leave or resign with an angry heart though as i always tell people, and friends that they should not burn bridges when they leave a job... even if the person you had for a boss was the worst never ever say anything, it is best that you keep it to yourself or to family members as the world is small and sometimes we would find it that the circle of people we know are the same and your boss might know someone from the new company you are working for or applying to.

No it's definitely never good to leave a job with anger in your heart, atleast not shown anyway. I would be afraid I'd try to find a job later and not be able to because everywhere I applied someone knew someone I worked with, etc. I know it's a small world, I've seen that just by where I've gone and whom I've met.

Please make sure you find another job before quitting the present one. For heaven's sake don't be so angry. Calm down. Try and find a better job and then quit. All the best. Cheers

Please reread my discussion, you will see my emotions in it and that I'm not really PLANNING on just quitting, though I would like to. I also said I KNEW I needed to get another job. Angry? No not until you assumed I was.

preplaning should be there before we quitting a job, we should control our anger. anger is not good for our health

I have fought with myself on several occasions about the job thing before. I have been at my place of employment forever and it is not easy to be in one place for so long. I know that your situation is more than just being somewhere forever, but I have felt like you too during certain times. Stress especially. Lately things have been pretty tough. I am looking forward to some time off. I hope things are looking up for you now. Take care.

Looking for another job is not quite rare the only difference being that it is done while being at one's current job. Bird in hand is worth two in a bush!!

If I told you how many people are looking for another job AT my job, you'd laugh. We all seem to be, atleast up front. We can't get out of it though, I know i've got to have one squared away before I go hopping.

At this moment I'd like to have a job, ANY job lol :P I've been not working for 3 months and now i begin to have some economic problems. Here in Italy it's not easy to find a job in these days, so if you have one you don't think to change it, no matters how bad is it, and it's a sad situation. I always had part-time jobs or contracts of 3-6 months, then I was unemployed, so I changed a lot but now all that I want is a bit of "serenity". If you don't have problems to change and if your actual job causes to you just stress, so try!

Clam down,thinking about if you go to a new workplace, there still many of boring things you need to you, as you are green hand there, everyone will ask you to do the work, maybe it is their work! i have had said i would quit the present work for 1 year with my husband, but the result? I still stay where i am. Maybe one day, i quit without no reason just quit! I think it is not difficult for me to find a new job, i have 5 years work experience and do job well, i just hate the long time work hours! i need more time to accompany with my family...Money and time,how can i get them all?

I dont blame you and I use to work a job like this. Except I kept telling myself it would get better, or Id find aother job until I got fired for telling them what I was actually thinking. It causes a lot more issues if you stay especially on your mind and health. It would be more beneficial if you had another job to back you up. I would start looking now, and applying as much as possible.

Oh, I definitely know that feeling! LOL Some days I just want to tell my boss off and say "I quit!" and walk out right then and there, but I can't as my family and I need the money. Plus, I'd hate to leave her hanging. My boss's business is a small one and deals with animals, so it wouldn't be fair to them if I were just to walk out. Someone has to be there to take care of them, after all. At the moment, that someone is me. If I were to quit I'd surely have to give my notice. That way my boss could hire someone else. The job does not pay much and I certainly don't get enough hours, but I love how close it is to home. With living in the "country" it's about the only thing that's nearby. Working independently is a big plus as well. And most of the animals are great to work with...so it isn't all bad. I just have to remember that so that I don't make any rash decisions when my boss is in one of her moods. Happy mylotting!

I would like to take a job and shove it. No, I want to work on that job. No, I want to quit. I am just thinking that much and my emotions are changing. That is quite something that happened to me many years ago. I just decided to just keep calm and pray about it. Then things changed. If you can afford to live without a job, then that would be wonderful. A good business probably is waiting for you. Or it might be that a better opportunity is presenting itself. Whatever, I know that you are in the right position to make better choices. Good day.
