I hate myself for being choosy and discontented always. After reporting for my work in the span of one week, I am now feel tired and want to resign. I don't know if this is just a lazy thing or I just do not like the environment. Hope I change my mind coz' I really want to help my husband in everyday's expenses.

Since you are newbie, more adjustments to the environment to be made. It's really tough but a challenging one. And once you survived, you feel the great success within.

You've got to look at the bigger picture. What are your goals? Are you going to quit this job, get another, get tired of that one and quit and then keep doing that? This will not help you to help your husband or realize any of your goals. Work is tiring. It can also be boring, frustrating and upsetting. But it is only for a few hours a day. Most people go to work and put up with it not because they love it but because they need the money and enjoy the financial rewards of working. Unless you are being truly mistreated at work or your body can't physically handle the job you should take a hard look at your reasons for wanting to quit and weigh them against why you wanted to work in the first place. Sometimes--many times!--we have to put up with things we don't like in order to make our lives better. Then we just grit our teeth and get through it. This is what most working people do. They find a way to enjoy some part of their work and put up with the rest because they know that people rarely find an ideal job they enjoy.

I am like you I some time get fire up for a new job and when they call and say I get through I just have a down feeling same time lol. Maybe I just dont want to work for anyone . I am starting to summer work next week and I feel so bored and its only for two months . I keep trying to make excuses not to go, I want to help out with living expense too . I take a break from school to work and I only work for 4 months then quite, now they call me back and everyone is saying I should just go back . I dont have to do long , so I decide Ill just do two months and I am starting back school soon I think maybe I am kinda lazy.

Please hang on Jade. Hubby needs your help with the everyday expenses. Dont leave your job until you find a new one where you can go.

Maybe you are not in the moody by the time that you think of it or maybe you are gonna have a baby because laziness is some of many symptoms of pregnancy

I can understand the feeling of not belonging and just struggling to do something that has started to get into your nerves. Your intentions are good, but it seems you just haven't found the one thing that you want to focus doing. Just keep your options open still, but as much as possible, unless you're really really sure of the next work you're going to accept and that you already have somewhere to go, do not resign yet. Good luck and I hope you figure it out soon.

I know for me sometimes the hardest part of the job is the first week. Stick in there another few weeks, it should get easier for you. Besides, I know here in the USA that quitting after one week looks really bad. I'm not sure about where you are however, it may be different. Though I do know that the first week or two can be hard especially if you are still training. Once you get the hang of it it will be easier.

Is getting a job easy there at your place? If so, then go and find another one. One that will satisfy you. However, if getting a job is difficult, just try to enjoy your current job if you really need to help your husband with your finances.

It could be that you are not used to it or it could be the environment that you are working in. That does have a lot to do with working. I have felt that way in some of the jobs I had through the years. And those were the ones that I left. I did wind up working in places where I was totally comfortable.

hi, The new place and surroundings and hardly a week and you think of quitting. No friend, i feel you are not yet adjusted to the new work. Give yourself some more time and do not overload yourself for the sake of performance. Try to understand more about the work/company info. etc, gradually you will like it. Best of luck and i appreciate your willingness to help your husband.

It happens to everyone, when the pressure is big at work we just want to leave everything and go home. But it's only temporarily, you are new at the job and you should wait for a while before you resign. Give it a chance and you might like it after a while!

Hi friend, as you mentioned you are in need to help your hubby, so you must continue your work, even though you are not interested with it, just search for a new job as per your wish and swap to it after getting it. All the best

Hi jade I know the feeling of not wanting to go to work because I don't like my job. Everyday is like a struggle for me when I had that job. I'm not lazy i just don't want the job. After a month I quit. I know we need to work to help in the expenses but it is important as well to find the right job for us otherwise it will be just stressful going to work. I hope you find a job that you want.
