Swimmod_Luna Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 I know I bitch about my job a lot and probably annoy the shit out of everyone but I'm legit starting to worry that I'm not far from having a mental breakdown if I have to stay in my job much longer. Working weekends and holidays sucks. Working until 10pm every day sucks. So many of my coworkers are petty as hell and while I don't really give a fuck what they think about me it doesn't exactly make working there any easier. My job is also boring as fuck most of the time, like getting paid to do nothing all day sounds great until you realize it's actually really not. I really don't know how much longer I can do it. The fact that I need money is literally the only thing keeping me from just quitting. Like if I were to somehow get enough money to survive comfortably for say, 3 or 4 months, I would quit in a heartbeat because I feel fairly confident that I could find something else that pays decent within that time frame.
Cau Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 That's basically the only thing that keeps me from quiting. Also I like my boss.

Cau Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 Some of my friends don't and I don't think my grandpa does. But everyone else I've met does.
GuyBeardmane Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 If you haven't already, start filling out applications for new jobs. You're more hire-able if you're currently employed. If your job is getting to the point where you dread going in and you're depressed about it, you need to move on.
Naraku4656 Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 I don't hate my job but occasionally i have a real feel that i'll lose my job because i never feel like i do as much work as my coworkers do. like i'm getting off easy or something. i've tried to get more work, but the work i'm getting never seems to be anything i can lead on. otherwise i like my job enough not to go crazy but i do need to start moving upwards

StarPanda Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 Well hopefully you find something new and get hired I don't mind your threads

I've been actively searching for a little over a month now and have sent out over 100 applications. No offers yet but decent response in terms of getting interviews.

PhilosipherStoned Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 Best advice I could give is to look for something more suitable for you, and start making moves to get you there so you can quit whatever this is.

I think as difficult as it might be, youve gotta do everything you can to figure out a way out of this job, whether that means moving, hours of research, more education, or whatever. Life's too short to be stuck in a miserable job. Commit every fiber of your being to getting to a better place. I know you can do it!!!!

I've been trying to find a new job for awhile now. Thank you.
Cau Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 They idea of people liking their jobs just blows my mind though. Hopefully you can find something you're at least indifferent towards.

Another thing you could try is getting in touch with a temp agency with a city with better opportunity in your field, so that you don't have to have as much stress about immediate income. just spittballin also the old saying it's not what you know it's who ya know is very very true Edited November 18, 2017 by UncomfortableGoatee

Only took like 25 applications for my first job out of college and my current job. Currently at over 100.
Naraku4656 Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 i don't know the number for my first job out of college but i think it was only a couple for my current job

I've considered temp agencies but they all seem to pay rather low.

Today he was in bed already but not asleep but he still only said like 2 words to me and didn't want to get out of bed.
Naraku4656 Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 you need to get better hours so you two can do the thing. that'll probably help too

Naraku4656 Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 i mean if you have to take a bit less pay i'd still go for it

I make 15.99/hr but can usually get a little bit of overtime. My goal is 35-40k but idk how much lower than that I could really go.
Naraku4656 Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 you can try to give yourself a hard limit by putting the money in savings that you don't touch. try to get as low as you can until you need to get to the money. that's what i do
NaBarney Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 I may only make $1200 a month but this thread makes me feel like a very rich man
RPM Jr. Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 Yes. Yes, you do bitch a lot about your job. You need to cut that shit out right now!

Naraku4656 Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 complaining about jobs is dumb. everyone should suck the dick of their CEO to thank them for the opportunity to work 40 years of their life.
