Have you ever just quit a job and was relieved that you finally left the piece of crap job? Well, I did it Friday and I feel so much better The money was great, the hours worked with my schedule, but I just wasn't happy. I've worked there for eight months and was basically going nowhere. I'm looking for a new job now, preparing to take a social work exam-even though I'm jobless for a minute, I'm happy. You ever find yourself in the same situation?

Yes. I quit a job where that money was great, but the boss was greedy and kept paying whenever he felt like, so in the end, I quit.
I also quit a job that wouldn't pay me because they claimed to have no money.
I also quit a job where the manager was annoying me.
I also quit a job because I was tired of it.
I also quit a job because I wasn't paid enough.
I quit two jobs when I moved out of the country.

I don't quit. My colleagues all quit and I then file for Chapter 11.

Yup, I left my last job a little over a year ago, and still haven't found a new one. I kinda like my independence and not having to rely on someone else for a paycheck. Eventually, I gotta find a job though, whether I want to or not. Corporate America sux.

I dealt with it as long as I could. Hopefully, we both will find a job that we're content with

We might have the same record for # of jobs quit

Me too. The job market here is pretty miserable. How is it where you are?

It's pretty good even with the economy the way it is right now. If you can put up with the crazy drving in Texas-you can find a job anywhere All depends on how far you wanna go.

I was happy when I was 17 and quit McDonald's. I was also happy when I was 19 and was fired from Burger King. My entire 20s I worked in a convenience store and was miserable but couldn't quit because I had bills that had to be paid whether I worked or not. For the last 10 years, I've been at a clerical job with no plans to quit unless I find a better paying job.

I've been on my new job going on 4 weeks now. I work for the same company, but different dept. I had been in my position for over 4 years. Although I was doing way more than what my job called for, my boss NEVER saw any kind of promotion for me even though I was doing the work. My other manager even approached my boss that it was time to push me ahead. He simply saw it as more work I could do.

It was even in my review last year "We need to help Bob find a new position that uses his skill better" Well they never helped me, so I had to help myself. And here I am in a new job I love and in a position that is now in a career path.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

I have worked for the same employer for 22 years. I am my bosses right hand man (err lady)
I work for an Attorney here in town, I am his assistant, not in legal matters (hell no) in his personal life. I, along with 1 other lady, manage all of his personal stuff. Sounds boring, but he keeps us on his toes, we do not always have to be sitting 9-5 at a desk, and the benefits and wages are EXCELLENT. He is very generous with us, even lends us his guesthouse on the lake when he is not using it.

I want your job.

I think what keeps me there is trust, he is not very trusting..he has been burned many times. He has a handful of us that have been around since the beginning of time.

I am telling the honest truth here, on friday, I was at work daydreaming about killing all my co workers. Like, literally dreaming of how the whole thing would go down.






I am in desperate need of a change of surroundings.

Oh wow, I can see it on TV: "A man has shot all of his coworkers and apparently is now posting pictures on prince.org"

nurseV said:

Oh God yes. I did just the same thing as what you did last week except I do have a back up job that I know I will be happier and more satisfied at. The one I quit really sucked and yes I felt so good to put in my two weeks notice although they asked if I would stay til the end of the month and I said okay but when it's done I will be even more happy. Now I have more free time to go to school and the gym instead of working all day every day 7 days a week.

JerseyKRS said:

I hear ya. Before you go postal quit.

I have 3 jobs now, but I REALLY need to get rid of the one at Starbucks
Don't really know why I stay there (other than the fact that I love my coworkers) but it really is a shady-ass corporation and I need to start looking for an internship or something

yeah.

one afternoon i went out at lunch and instead of going to buy a sandwich I went to the pub with my mate

I never went back to my work again

couldnt do it now, what with mortgage etc, but what a feeling!

I am on May 9th, whether I have a new job or not. Shit is NOT healthy brother.

I think I'm on the verge of quitting mine.


We'll see how it goes the next couple of weeks....

When I quit Six Flags I celebrated like the people did in The Wiz when the Wicked Witch was flushed down the toilet

best thing I ever did!
