I want to quit my job today...

Post Reply New Topic

I can't believe I'm even considering this... I have like no savings or anything but I can't stand my job anymore... I'm physically sick going into work... I don't know what to do...

Well I still haven't gone in... I called up saying I was in the next state heading in to work from a visit with my parents.... that was several hours ago now

I don't know what to do, this job is killing me, I smoke a ton of pot to cope with the stress and I'm out of that option and combined with the stress of not dealing with stress on top of the high stress of a restaurant kitchen job...

I can't make myself go in, I don't have enough gas in my car, have no money at all (funny I'm considering quitting my job when I'm already flat broke!?)...

I've dealt not very well with stress, it makes me mess up at work which mistakes in food are really a no-no, really can't happen often... people are paying for that stuff. The company I work for transferred me with less than a week's notice, uses me as a labor commodity without care for myself or my well-being at all... I'm just fed-up.

They don't know about my AS or maybe they suspect and certainly without being paranoid they have been trying to get me to quit. I have no idea why other than I can't seem to just do what the boss wants, there are too many bosses with too many different expectations and they often are moody, irrational, and generally dismissive. I have one boss who just goes around and gets pissed off at everyone for f*****g up.

I'm at my wits-end again! I keep TRYING SO f*****g HARD and it's all for nothing! it ALL FAILS at some point. All that matters to me is my dear sweet hubby and trying to keep money coming in to afford our quite meager lifestyles. He also has a high-stress job and medicates with pot to deal with it too. Everything is fine when we make enough money to afford a lot of pot and all our bills, but that's only like 3, maybe 4 months of the year, then we're scraping by the rest of the year.

I feel like there is no end, I have to do something proactive before I sink back into the unemployment depression. I wish I wasn't so needy that I could function normally, on the outside I seem fine but after a few weeks of getting to know me, it sucks after that. I don't have the strength or will to keep fighting (or do I?) I'm so tired of everything already.

I could understand why you don't like your job--just watch Gordon Ramsey LOL

However, don't quit, and don't get fired. Go in.

In the meantime, look for something else. What do you like to do? What sort of education do you have?

I still haven't gone in. I haven't quit exactly either.

I've worked in restaurants pretty much all my adult life, including stuff like Dunkin Donuts which I did part-time while in school for my undergrad (80 credits into a BS. in Biology). I also worked as a cashier in numerous gas station/convenience store things along with grocery stores. I was bored in those types of jobs (grocery store) but also my stress level was very low. Now I'm almost never bored but my stress levels are so high that I can't cope anymore with anything.

I'm going to do another line of work, transcriptions and data entry until I can get more science courses done for my major. I'm just going to be another one of the career-changers out there. I need multiple income sources anyway, working for one company at $12/hr with barely 30 hours is a very low wage in the US. (I know I'm not poor exactly but I make enough to not get ANY services at all, and also to NOT afford much of anything beyond the basics).

Also, I've encountered this trying to make myself go to the job I hate/hates me for so many, many times that I just ... ugh, I just f*****g can't bring myself to do it anymore. Just one more snide comment or stupid mistake/blamed on me thing and I will burn bridges worse than if I just quit today.

I'm on that crazy edge where stress causes me to cry suddenly, have mood swings to the moon... all that is a relief right now is thinking about never going back to work there.

Thank you for your thoughts kraftie I have so much more to think about too, so tired.

Are you OK? I hope you didn't burn any bridges, job-wise.

The job change sounds like a good idea. Of course its best to not give up the old one until you have the new one if it is at all possible. Also, I think there are better medications to deal with stress then MJ. And they may be a lot cheaper and not have mind fogging side effects. Have you seen a doctor about it?
