Swimmod_Luna Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 If I don't have Christmas off at my job, I'll just quit the Friday before, even if I don't have anything else lined up by then. This job is driving me insane and I don't know how much longer I can keep doing it. I don't even know if I can make it TO Christmas, let alone work all through it. Everyone please tell me this is a bad idea I'm the kind of person who, once I get an idea into my mind, have trouble letting go of it even if I know it's a bad idea.

God-Says-No Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 its actually a good idea... if it ruins your mental health then it will start affecting your physical health and over all life aspirations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if I get an offer on a Wednesday I'll tell them I can start that following Monday and tell my job Friday will be my last day. Schedules are made a month in advance anyway so I don't see the difference in giving 2 weeks vs 2 days. I know it's bad but this job is so bad for my mental health right now.

I don't think I could ever see myself working at this location again. Too much petty shit, even among the administrative staff. It's for the state department of DD though, which I could see myself working for again somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornshire Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Doing so without seriously understanding how long you could survive unemployed, without having a well-thought out and ready to go course of action to obtain a new job, and without the willingness to commit all effort to said plan would be quite terrible. Doing so with those things would be less bad, but still highly reckless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have much in savings and while my parents may be willing to help a little bit, I doubt they'd be willing to pay 100% of my expenses while I looked for a job, especially after quitting one voluntarily.

I'd prefer something where I get most weekends and holidays off and don't have to work evenings since that's what I hate most about my job now. That's not always easy to find. And then 2.

Ginguy Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 1. You aren't human debris. 2. It is a crappy job with crappy hours, but you aren't the newest person anymore, so it might improve as you get closer to your one year mark. 3. Quitting around the holidays is a crap move and a great way to end up homeless by New Years, especially if your lease is up and you aren't employed. 5. Listening to Fuggs is always a bad idea. 6. Quitting your job around Christmas is the kind of thing Fuggs would recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
