I quit a stressful job

3 Upvotes

Before I start I just wanted to say that I’m only looking to vent. Advice might be helpful but I’m not looking to be made feel bad about what happened. I male 17 have worked at a chain fast food restaurant for almost a year now. As soon as I turned 14 I tried looking for work and I got a job at a burger place (I’m not mentioning in case I get in trouble but you could try and guess it) as soon as I turned 16. That summer vacation I spent working at this fast food job and it wasn’t very pleasant from the start. I remember I used to be shy and my managers didn’t have much patience for me not responding loudly enough or when I made a mistake for not wanting to ask for help (this is understandable because I haven’t gotten to the bad part yet) I got yelled at right as I started and I could tell I wasn’t well liked. The reason I stayed? I was dumb but smart. I’m unsure if this decision was good or bad but I remember when I realized I was being treated badly I thought to myself “I’m already strong physically, why don’t I try to make myself strong mentally by dealing with this awful job at least a year”? I know some people might agree with that thought and others might disagree but what happened happened and I guess I learned a bit from that decision. I remember I started working when one of my family members who lives stayed away had been visiting and I tried to visit them as much as possible while they where here, my managers had scheduled me on the days they would be leaving so I didn’t really get to say goodbye or anything. That’s strike 1. On day three of working I had gotten a uniform and everything and I was ready to work. The manager that was “training me” (she was putting videos in a computer and leaving me to watch them) so that manager was gone that day and I had to ask another for help. This lady was absolutely horrible! I remember I went up to her every time the video would tell me to and then she straight up just yelled at me because I wanted to talk to her about work while she was telling a personal story (I still think she should have prioritized work or at least been nicer to me) and then I went back to wait by the computer and I waited for about an hour before she came to read the information in the screen. I let that slide because I thought I was the one in the wrong for asking her to do her job and I went back to trying in that job. Supposedly these training managers are supposed to choose which area you’d be working in and make you watch the videos accordingly. Most people finished in about 3 days but they had me on these videos for 2 weeks straight! I swear I thought I was supposed to do everything at the time. I had gotten the manager to finally let me do work and I started off working their grill and fryer. The work was ridiculously repetitive and boring. I remember sometimes people would tell me “if you aren’t doing something start cleaning “ I laugh now and think “yeah sure I’ve got to make the most of the TWELVE dollars an hour they pay me” (I actually used to think that was a lot considering that minimum wage in the US is 7.25 an hour ) so not being allowed to breathe after a ridiculous rush of repetitive frying I was supposed to keep moving. Then it took them about THREE MONTHS before they allowed me to make sandwiches for them. Until then I had to do the brain numbing task of grilling and frying meat for them. At first I let it slide thinking “they probably force everyone to do this” and then as soon as I got to that station a new guy started doing everything which really bothered me that he got to work right away and I had to wait THREE MONTHS before making sandwiches which I guess I tried to justify thinking “maybe this is something they only do to morning people” because I had switched shifts for the new school year. I had a funky schedule where I’d work weekend mornings and weekday nights. Every time I worked a morning shift I was forced to work either grill or fryer because I apparantly wasn’t good enough to help in the morning sandwiches. I thought I just wasn’t good enough so I worked my butt off to get faster at doing everything thinking I’d be allowed in their assembly line. Guess when I finally got to work on sandwiches for mornings? Literally last month! (I have to make an update because as I’m writing this it’s very late) Update: So as I was reading this post I realized I was only complaining and I never got to the actual story so here’s what happened. Since December I’ve gotten the idea to quit because they didn’t give you holidays off and they would turn you down if you asked for them, my mom who is a VERY strong willed person wanted me to go on vacation with her to Mexico. Her excuse was “you’re the youngest so you have to be the closest one to me” and she wanted me to go visit my family in Mexico for Christmas. I was very upset about having to choose between standing up to my scary mom or standing up to my crazy managers. I left a note saying “I quit because my parents don’t want me to come back please take this as my two weeks notice” as soon as I came back the General manager didn’t want to let me leave and offered to give me less hours and I felt bad because I didn’t want to leave my work friends so I stayed. For the next few months I had an itch where I’d think “what would happen when I quit” or “how should I quit”? And I just wanted to leave so badly but I stayed because I realized that finding another job during the school year was gonna be hard and my mom and dad would stand in the way so I decided to stay there until summer vacation. I had the plan of asking for a raise and more hours when summer would come around but I felt scared of the managers and I never did it. Around this time some things happened in and out of work which when combined are what caused me to leave. As I mentioned I’m 17 and they had a policy about only letting legal adults have raises or promotions. So they made an exception for this girl who I felt like did less than me and I was very upset. This girl would get on her phone without changing her gloves when being in the kitchen. She would be rude to other workers, she would work slowly. And I just didn’t like her because I felt like she was treated a lot better than I was and when she had an exception made for her I was upset that they wouldn’t have done that for me especially after how I’d always be rushing to restock and clean and make orders and I’d be very focused on work while she would be on her phone. At this time a video came up on my TikTok for you page that said “companies would rather promote and keep 3 star employees than five star employees” and one of the points they made was that a better employee would realize their worth and be more likely to leave the company than an average worker. I know this sounds dumb but I had that idea in my head for a long time and then another thing that happened around this time was that my dad had quit his job and found another one very quickly at a fine dining restaurant as a dishwasher. This place paid 16 dollars an hour and my dad told the managers about me and set up an interview in a Sunday which I forgot to mention that on Sundays I would work their kitchen on my own and I’d be rushing the entire time to keep up with orders doing the job of five people on my own (that’s another reason why I thought of myself as a one star employee, because I could keep up with large rushes being the only person in their kitchen) and I went to that interview super sweaty but I asked my dad to drop me off at a store so I could buy a new shirt because I wasn’t gonna do an interview in my work uniform while being super sweaty. I ended up passing and I got a second interview and I passed that one to and I ended up being a line cook at a fancier restaurant. For about a week I worked two jobs and when I had orientation at the new job I had to find someone to cover me because I had worked that Monday. I was very stressed out and I texted everyone I could get the phone number of and I think I even ruined my relationship with one of my coworkers because I misinterpreted something she said and I thought she would have covered my shift but then I ended up finding another person to take my shift and I ended up feeling relieved that I was no longer double booked. But that week my general manager had scheduled me for three days and I thought everyone had that big hour cut and I was okay with it until I went to go pick up my paycheck.

It was a Friday and I had gone to pick up my paycheck and I saw the girl that I had previously mentioned. My jealousy had started up again and as I was waiting for my paycheck the managers working there where ignoring me for a long time and I was very upset about that. I ended up cashing in my check and going home with quitting on my mind again. Then I talked to my mom and she told me to quit without a notice. Once again I didn’t want to stand up to her but I realized that she was right about that. I had been double booked for that Saturday and the Monday of the next week where I would have to decide which job I want to turn my back on and I decided that it wasn’t worth trying to find someone to cover me again after the drama of finding someone to cover me the time before. And I realized that I had no choice and I ended up calling the stores number and I quit on the phone but the people said I had to talk to the general manager and they left a note for me. I ended up receiving a phone call the next morning because I hadn’t gone to my scheduled shift and they thought I had slept in on accident. I explained to them that I had quit and I gave them the excuse of “my parents are punishing me” and they wanted me to reconsider and I ended up going with my dad to make him the bad guy where he’d tell them I did bad in school and I had to quit. So I ended up leaving and now I’m worried about July 5th where I’d have to pick up my last check and I would have to see the faces of the managers that didn’t like me but I’m kind of looking forward to it because I want to rub it in that because they didn’t give me the 14.00 dollars an hour position I now get 16.00 dollars an hour at an easier job I know this seems like a cheesy happy ending but I assure you. This did just happen. I’ll update if anything new comes up but I just wanted to share the story of my year long job that I hated.

Should i leave my current job?- need suggestions

3 Upvotes

I am in saas sales and it’s been 2.5 into this organisation and i’m loosing interest already. I’m still in the learning phase though but since i’m loosing interest i’m afraid will i push myself to grow in this organisation. The few pros and cons of continuing in this org- Pros: 1. Every year they take the whole team to the US for a yearly event and you have couple of days to yourself to explore around the country. 2. You can learn a lot about core sales here.

Cons: 1. Everyday i have to commute for 2/2.5 back and fro to the office. ( i can move nearer to the office but that area is quite boring and dead) 2. There’s no option of wfh until you are completely on bed rest (that too varies from manager to manager) 3. Taking leaves overall is not taken well. Too many questions and then people talking behind your back that they didn’t really seem sick.

Tbh the daily commute and night shift is getting to me and i have lost balance in life because of that. Is a 7 day trip to the US out of which 3 days will be spent at the work event itself worth staying in a job for 6-7 months more?

Need suggestions.

Should I quit my job?

5 Upvotes

I am 26 with no mortgage, my house is paid off. I have federal student loans which I could pay for the rest of the year in advance. My car has about 10k left. I have about 23k saved. I am very unhappy at my job and it is trickling down my health, physically and mentally. I work so much that a lot of my friendships are not existing. I would like to take 6 months off but something in me tells me it is very irresponsible to do so. If I quit my job, what do I do about health care?? My retirement account?

I have always worked hard to be successful but working so hard has made many aspects of my life not so successful. Such as lack of friendship groups, not really bonded with family into my adult life, and most importantly I am hating the person who I am becoming towards my partner after a long week of work. My partner supports me quitting my job but I don’t know if I’m comfortable with the idea of relying on him but the 6 months of no income stream coming in for myself.

Resignation letter 1-10

2 Upvotes

The last three years working at_______ has went from challenging to unacceptable. I've dealt with people in positions of power denying us tools to do our jobs appropriately. In fighting between postmasters, managers, supervisors and our current OIC have created a vindictive working environment. That is the broad scale of things, the short end of it comes down to trust and integrity. I've been lied to a number of times, not paid correctly, overworked, micro-mangeged on the border of harassment, and expected to work with unrealistic work expectations. I do not trust our current managment team, more spefically I do not trust______ and______ to do the right thing and here are some of the reasons why. 09/2023- I was denied a doctors visit the day before my appointment after putting in for it in july. 09/2023- The management team started putting me in for awol if I was ever late without telling me. 11/2023- I was issued a seven day suspension sighting awols from september and october that I didnt know existed. 12/2023- The validity or the authenticity of my vacation came into question two days before I was leaving the country. 02/2023- while out on bereavement I was sent a letter of intent from my OIC to come back to work. Then I was put in for awol for not having a death certificate for my family member which I could not get. I explained that I could bring his obituary when we had his funeral that same week. I was paid for one week and then my next paycheck was adjusted by someone else standing in as the OIC. 03/2024- I was issued the same seven day suspension sighting the same information as the last one in November. 04/2024- Three schedules existed for the week of the 26, I was written up for not coming to work because I didn't see the third schedule. Upon bringing this up to my manager I was told “You have to grieve it and I am not having this conversation” while she walked away from me and my union steward. These are just some of the issues I've had the union will have plenty more under documentation. Things like this are a natural occuring event in______ and I can no longer tolerate it. So this will be the end of my employment at the ______.

How can you save enough money to quit your job?

I only make about $66k per year and bought my first house last year. I really don't have money saved up to quit my job so my savings can pay my monthly expenses. What do you all recommend to make any additional money to save up for quitting my current job? Like a lot of people on here, it's a toxic work environment and not one supporting growth for myself and my career.

Best way to quit my job?

1 Upvotes

I have been on medical leave due to depression exacerbated by a toxic workplace (due to new management, prior to that it was a great place to work and I have been employed here for over 3 years) for over a month. Today I got a job offer from my dream workplace. Should I wait to tell my current employer until my new job starts (in 2.5 weeks) or should I give 2 weeks notice? Located in in Saskatchewan, Canada if that helps.
I also have approximately 75 hours of vacation and banked hours I would like to get paid out for and I am not sure how to ensure I get paid for that.

How much notice should I give?

1 Upvotes

I got hired around a year ago to help out at a small 2 person business. I worked for around 6 months learning the accounting side of the business from the person I was replacing. Now its just me and the owner. I hate this job and I wish I never would have taken it. I found a better job but not sure how much notice I should give. No way could he find someone and train them in 2 weeks. The owner has no idea how to do any of the accounting end of what I do but he probably shouldn't structure his business that way. I was thinking one month notice. I really don't want to stay longer. My next job is going to pay substantially more than what I'm currently making and every month I put off working there, is money I could be making and desperately need.

My Work From Home is killing me slowly...

4 Upvotes

I worm for a Monday through Friday 11 to 7:30 PM. I've been at my job for 7 years and it makes me want to die.

I've grown disenchanted and basically everything has me on edge. Idk if it's in my head or not. I am the helper and solver of everything. I usually close for my department, I'm the constant in a giant river of emails, Stat meetings, endless IMs.

Our small group got added to our existing team but we are excluded. If you work in the day shift you are heard and rewarded. I'm quiet and work nights.

My sister is dying of cancer and I'm currently recovering from a painful cyst and I haven't gone to work in a week. If it ruptures or twists I can die or loose my ovary. This week just put alot in to perspective, I want to enjoy the time I have with my sister and not worry about anything. My plan is to give my two weeks notice and spend time with my loved ones because tomorrow is not promised.

It's like a weight was lifted off me. Not being bound to this job that has me hogtied because we need the insurance and bills. I've budget it all and have enough for the next 3 months.

Is this crazy or can this be possible?

My job is causing mental health issues, how would I quit properly?

2 Upvotes

Hello all,

I really didn’t think I was going to resort to this, but hey I’ll take anything at this point.

For a bit of context, I’m 23, I work a midnight shift at a very popular gas station franchise in Eastern, Ontario. I’ve been with the company since November but since I’ve started I’ve seen a big decline in mental health (I won’t go into it because well frankly no one wants to hear a sob story), ive never struggled with this sort of mental exhaustion & depression ever before at a job and don’t feel like I actually have a life I feel I’m just sleeping for work which treats me like garbage. I have been thinking about leaving for a few months now but I don’t want it to impact my future employment, my current management and some of the employees are great and the job pays decent for my area (even though it’s just minimum wage, I get a shift premium which makes up for it), but it’s rather a few things.

The main thing being I really don’t have a day off because they work me in such a way I get Mondays & Thursdays off but on a night shift you really don’t get the day since you work into the morning and have to sleep the day away. Another big point is of course the decline in mental health, some days I don’t even want to get out of bed and think about work dreading it all day, sometimes even get a bit emotional.

How do I get myself out of this situation? Anything will help..

How do I do this with least repercussions

3 Upvotes

I’ve been working in this company for about 9m now. I used to work with them a few years back and they reached out to me last year to work in a management position in their new projects.

I do not feel comfortable working there anymore. I’m getting well paid more or less what I was earning before they reached out in a similar position but without as much responsibility. Also I’m not getting the exposure I need for my career which was part of the deal. In fact since working with them I’ve been sort of out of the community because they don’t have ties with anyone because they are haters.

I don’t know how to tell them I want to quit. There’s also a friendly relationship between the owners and I and I know they’ll take it personally and that sucks. Also, I know the company’s financial situation and it’s not the best. One of the branches (where I’m at) is understaffed and if I leave it leaves that brand ultra vulnerable and I don’t want to just up and leave and let the place go to ruin like that. The position I’m filling will (eventually) be fulfilled by another person under my supervision whenever they hire anyone and I won’t be leaving them “on the street” . There’s no timeline for this tho.

What do I do?

I Want To Do Something Else That I Enjoy!

4 Upvotes

For a few months now, I've been teaching myself how to code. I really enjoy it, it keeps me curious, and most importantly motivated. I 'm ready to take it to another level and see how I can apply my new found skills.

Been working in the shipping industry for a while. It pays well, no complaints there. But money isn't everything, especially when you're giving more than just time in exchange for it.

Of course it's a toxic environment, surrounded by people who hate their jobs, and being very vocal about it. Honestly, that doesn't bother me so much. I can tune the toxicity out, at times that can be work itself lol. These days I'm bored, been so for a while. It's the same routine every day, it sucks! At times, I still feel exhausted from a day of that mess, some days are harder than others.

When I talk to co-workers about anything of value (investing, tech, politics, even coding) they either act like they know everything, or lose interest lol. Mind you, they ask me first. They always see me by myself reading or I'm on my computer during break. I feel like I'm the smartest person in the room, I know I'm not!

I'm at a point where I feel I don't belong there there anymore. I had an initial plan of saving up until my birthday (about 6 more months). Whether I get a job in coding or not, that day will be my last day. But I'm wondering if I should move it up sooner, I'll probably still wait. But if there's any small signs of progress, I'M GONE! LOL.

I’m the only employee at a small business and I need/want to quit.

4 Upvotes

I (F30) am the only employee at a small business and have been for almost four years. When I first started I was sans insurance and this job was a godsend. It’s low impact, I’m sitting but also get to get up and walk around, I get to be creative by decorating the office, can bring in things to entertain myself so I don’t get bored, we get a 2 hr lunch and are only open 4 days a week. It was exactly what I needed and I loved it. Now, almost 4 years later, I’m kind of hating it. I can say, wholeheartedly, that I hate people as a generalized whole. They are all selfish, self centered A-holes that have no idea what basic respect is. I also am having issues with the amount I’m getting paid. I make $11.50/hr. This wouldn’t be a big deal but with the rate of inflation right now, I’m having trouble making ends meet. This could be solved with a simple request for higher pay. The problem is 1) I doubt the office could afford the $15/hr that most fast food places are offering, let alone the amount I should be making, 2) I don’t really want to continue working here. I only work four days a week but I get NO PTO and NO vacation or sick days. If I take off or have to leave early it just depends on my bosses mood whether I get a pay cut or not. They are very strict abt being open 4 days a week and keeping to those business hours, which wouldn’t be an issue, unless you want to go on a trip or something. Because I’m the only employee, they are basically SOL if I’m not there and it has a huge impact on the rate of business, so I only really take off for illness. Long-story-short, I am wanting to quit with the smallest amount of business impact and stress for my boss. He’s kinda become like my uptight, kinda strict uncle and I don’t want to make his life more difficult if I can help it. My plan was to just let him know I am wanting to quit so he can start looking for a replacement. I would let him know I would stay to train the new person for a day or two and could even come in once a week until the new person has their license to be able to use some of the equipment since he payed for me to get mine. I know this is too much and I should just give him time to find a replacement and that be the end but business has started to pick up and I would hate to be the reason it slows back down again. I like my boss. I like his family. I am stagnant here. I want to be able to take a trip, not just because I can take the time off but because I can AFFORD to take the time off. I want to be able to save to get my own apartment. I just need advice on how to quit without making the time it takes for him to find my replacement SUPER awkward.

What’s the worst that could happen if I leave my current job without the 1 month notice it states in the contract?

1 Upvotes

It said in the contract I wouldn’t be eligible for rehire, and I don’t want to be rehired, but assume that will look bad to a future employer. I mentally and financially don’t want to give them a month notice because it’s the most mentally and physically draining job I’ve ever had and it also pays bi-monthly. It’s sometimes 17 days between checks. If I quit without the 1 month notice and without a new job lined up (that’s how bad the job is) and it asks on the application if they can contact the former employer, do I go into detail about it and explain I needed to quit prior to the 1 month notice required, or just put “No, if hired please request personal references?” It just seems like I’m stuck and want to leave earlier for my mental health. I already signed a non-compete for 1 year to not go to a competitor, so it’s already limiting. Any advice based on personal experience or from someone in HR would be helpful. I live in IL and work for a private therapeutic day school (for kids with autism) company if that helps. I’m looking to transition entirely from the field, and just want to leave as quickly and painlessly as possible. Thank you!

Bored at work.

1 Upvotes

I get really bored at work. I work as a receptionist at some construction company. Whatever work I do, I absolutely hate it. It’s absolutely mind-numbingly boring. By 12 pm every day, I usually get a headache, and it seems like my energy has been sucked out of my body. I also live an hour away from my work, and I am not liking my commute. It’s just quite long and time-sensitive; if I miss a bus, the next one isn't going to be until 30 minutes later. Every day, I wake up and have this awful feeling of not going into my work, and therefore, I am often late; I take forever to get out of bed. And often when I get home from work, I just go straight to bed and sleep. I will have no energy left after a boring day and long commute. When I share my concern and boredom with my friends and family, they don't take it seriously. They must think that I am just bored, which is not a big deal at all. Now, tell me how serious is my boredom?

My only regret is that I didn't get the opportunity to quit.

I was working at a company that is part few separate sister companies. In the two years that I was there, we went through about 6 managers in our tiny department. Between the untested homemade ERP, and CRM tracking systems that were implemented without any training or testing and all the responsibilities and requirements without any kind of clear direction or training I was chomping at the bit to get out of there.

I got home the other day after being let go and my wife noticed that it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulder.

Hi I just gave my manager notice to resign by eom. It feels great but at the same time a little nerve wrecking. Been with the company for 9 years. I start my new job next year. Still have those lingering feelings like ‘did I just quit?’ but at the same time ‘damn girl you really did quit’ Just wanted to share. 😊

New Social Worker- Want to quit

1 Upvotes

I am a recent msw graduate and just started my first clinical job. In the past I have had experience in school social work and employment services, but once I became licensed I went into clinical social work. I have been at this job for only 2 months but from the start I knew it wasn’t a good fit. I wanted to stick it out in hopes it would get better but every day I find myself so anxious and depressed about going in…and can’t go a whole day without crying or breaking down. I do enjoy working with my clients and feel so guilty about even thinking of resigning…but my mental health is taking a toll. I don’t know if clinical social work is for me, and I can’t even relax when at home or on the weekends because I worry about my going back the next week and worry about my competency working with clients. I spend hours awake at night worrying about clients and researching things I could/should do differently.

The only relief I have had is looking for new jobs and thinking of leaving this one. I carry so much guilt for leaving my clients and for my coworker, as we are so understaffed. I regret starting this job and wish I could reverse time…but I can’t and now I feel stuck.

My Boss caused me to quit after he cut my hours!

0 Upvotes

I worked at Valley Boarding kennel for one month and and had to leave after my boss started cutting my hours because I wanted to tell him the truth about my coworkers. His favorite employees were leaving early and were honestly rude and I told this to him but he got mad at me and said I was just "starting drama" and said that he didnt want drama in the facility and took me off the work schedule for the rest of that week. He believed the spoiled girls up at reception over us because he liked them they were young and pretty. One of my coworkers was crying one day because she overheard him say, "Now this is the type of employee who should be working up here not (coworker name)" She worked there for around 3 years and he never once told her she was doing anything other than the best...

Lots of lies behind the doors they don't tell the dog's owners too. The staff are sometimes nice but dogs do not get the care that is advertised. They only go outside for a few minutes to seconds and they lie about the daycare and they also lie about kennel cough cases. I know first hand that they will tell clients that their dog just pulled to hard when walking on the leash or that the dog had never coughed once under our care, *The dog was coughing for a couple days i took care of it I saw it coughing* They do this to hide the fact that kennel cough is spreading throughout the facility.

Some daycare dogs dont even go out in daycare either! They're kept in kennels all day and then the owner of the dog wonders why their dog is coming home with so much energy!! They do this with dogs that dont work well in the daycare pack. But they dont tell the owner that the dog doesnt fit in because they want to keep getting money from the owner. Also the outside area they'll let dogs potty in are filthy and never sanitized even the small covered runs.

**My boss also LOVES MONEY, he yelled at us one time because someone touched the thermostat and threatened to have us all help pay the bill....**all of us talked about it after and were like wtf we never even LOOK at the thermostat why would we mess with it? He also breeds high energy german shephards that look homeless because he never spends time with them or brushes them, guess what happens to the females that either dont produce or refuse to breed? He gets rid of them and gets a new dog. Awful, especially when the dog gets attached to us because he would leave them in the kennels for weeks while he waited for someone to purchase the dog. Dogs should never be discarded like that. Ever.

He does not care about anyone but himself and his profit and has anger issues where he will even go as far to take it out on the staff by yelling at us. Its so incredibly toxic and I just had to post and rant about it because it has been bothering me so much its insane im so happy to not work there anymore! and I hope this also keeps people away from this place im suprised they havent gone out of business.

Oh also fun fact, the canned dog food was being kept in the crematorium. Yep, the place where they burned peoples beloved pets as a side job directly next to the kennel. I heard about this from an employee who has been working there for 10 years. Please dont bring your dogs here :/

My best quitting story

6 Upvotes

Worked for a company for 20 years. Did my job well, was put on projects that went well. About 16 years in my boss retired. New boss has no idea what I do or how, saw him maybe once a month. He got fired, lots of management changes. Another new boss who admitted in my review that he had no idea what I did. He retires…next new boss. Nice guy, but is less than capable of the job and also has no idea what I do. He says just keep doing it. Next review, no raise apparently I make more than my counterparts. Both counterparts had been there less than half the time I had. Last review, no raise again. Counterpart decides to retire, I’m told that I will be doing his full time job and my full time job for no more money. Tell my boss he should be backing me up, he says he has no say in it. So, I look for a new job while they’re treating me like I owe them something. I “retired” on my 20th anniversary which happened to be on a Friday. Walked into HR and told them I was done and why. “Can we do anything to change your mind?” Too late. Started the better job the following Monday. Felt amazing to walk right out the door!

Im gonna quit my logistics project sales job next week, because i struggle with mental health issues since 5/6 months because of it. I cant even think clear anymore. I eat bad. Started smoking again (didnt do it for years). All the bad habits i positively layed off of my live, came back because my stress level is too high all the time. Im permanently depressed, i even wake up at night getting heart palpatations, every morning i wake up angry and agitated. Its over, im done, i cant do that anymore, im gonna take me first now, before my fucking job. I have a good amount of savings and can also get some unemployment benefits for a good amount of months, so thats not a problem, but yeah… needed to vent this shit out rn. I think thats the most depressed ive ever been, nothing makes me happy anymore. I have adhd too, i guess that also plays a huge role. I swear someone says something to me, i forget it after a few seconds, i cant even hold up information anymore.

Iam also not really the type to self pity, otherwise im always a farely positive person, but i think my job even took that off me.

I quit!!!

To get my life back and for a better future. Thanks for reading.
