Alright, so I've worked for this company over a peirod of 2 years. Recently they've been doing alot of work I find unimportant and meaningless, indeed I don't see much future for myself here in this place. So anyway I'm doing my job, then the manager that hired me is transferred into a new one. Meanwhile I get another manager, one that never talks to me at all... so there I am, I work, and now I wanna quit because this store will be closing and my new work won't be the same, it will infact be more stressful and annoying. I'll need to help people with computers, but mostly printing stuff. I'll need to take orders of work over the phone, and listen to them nag about the pricing to me all day. Then I can get the mystery shoppers to harass me and the various customers we've screwed jobs up for.. all-in-all I think quitting is better than working there. Once I turn in my resignation letter I'm told by everyone, mostly my father, that I can't quit, you don't ever quit unless you have a better job, and things of that nature. He psychologically harasses me all weekend.... I am already on antidepressants for wanting to die, then he makes things so drama-like it's a living hell. I have no friends and can't stay somewhere else, I don't make enough to live alone, and I have no emotional support except online. This is where is becomes frustrating... so I wanted to quit, but the manager whom hired me called and said I shouldn't, that I should stay :-Z~ Now she's a nice kind lady that's given me alot of chances in the past, whenever I made a stupid mistake, etc. I just think she's the only person that wants me here, the other female manager could care less... she even said "I heard you have computer skills" as if everyone doesn't lmao. I feel so pathetic and stupid when they seem to think computer knowledge is some sort of skill, they're just old and only care about money, that's their problem. So yeah... I was asked to stay, and I just wrote a rescind letter because I will not be leaving, I suppose it garuntees I won't up and leave without notice. Anyways... I felt sick doing it, I want to leave, but everyone keeps telling me there's noplace to go. What's worse is how my home life is like living in the "great depression". They don't seem to have a sense of reality, or is it that I don't?! How long can I last in that branch that has such a busyiness about it, and honestly I'm sure I'd screw someones order up eventually. They have hour long training class online done in Macromedia Flash, it's like terrible.... I mean talk about outsourcing for christ sake, they must've outsourced every possible class to india! Fucking 3 hour long classes with animations and stuff... I'm now notorizing things with no real understanding of them, and only charging the minimum 1 dollar fee. I am at a loss... life really does suck, and mostly because of the madness involved in working, lmao What do you think I should do, feel free to ask questions... I would quit if I had support from home and not been harassed, but now I feel kinda bad to leave because that nice manager female asked me not to Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I'm sure the new store will suck big time, and she was telling me how there's no chance to relax or sit down anytime, and that you must constantly work. I make 10.95 an hour, but who knows... it's creepy, I made 20,000 last year... I'm damned if I leave damned if I don't? Which is the better... quitting and not having money or a job, or staying and possibly being suicidal and depressed because I'm being overworked? Even with medicine the emotional environment outweighs anything it can help me cope with... do you think I should just stay and see if I can handle it, but then what if I can't?
How much money do you have in the bank? Tell everyone to fuck themself and travel for a while. It usually cures my depression. I have no money just now, else I'd probably do something strange. It's getting me down and living at home is something I could do without. Still.. what can you do. I'm my own worst enemy Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
So you take pills to fix up your problems, and you have no money, and you're thinking of quitting your job??? sorry, but you should toughen up a bit and try to better yourself. That's the problem with so many young ones these days, they think taking a year or 2 or 3 off to travel to "find themselves" is a good thing, instead of focusing on their proffesion . Stick with it , don't be a "fall downer" and good luck. Travel after you've made good money through hard work ,so you can go to tahiti instead of communist cuba.
darkside: Your father tells you that you can't quit? Huh? He's not living in your shoes, so I suggest you tell him to butt out. If you sincerely aren't happy with the job, I suggest you try finding a different one. Sure, easier said than done, but there are quite a few jobs out there for people with 'computing skillz'.
I'd rather go to Cuba. Where's the soul in some expensive all-inclusive resort in Tahiti full of wealthy Americans?
And honestly, this is probably the best advice you'll ever get. Nobody can live your life for you, you need to figure it for yourself. I suggest you spend a couple of quiet hours alone and see if you can find your own answers. One thing you need to remember, whatever your choice, you're the one that's going to live with the consequences. Good luck Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! .
Dont quit til you have another job. And hate to tell you this, but if your dad pays the bills, he makes the rules, dont like it.... move out.
