Master_Ginn Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 So, i have this problem. You see i really hate my job and i have enough money to last me through january to pay for bills. So do i take the risk and quit my job so i can go home for christmas break to hang with my family and freinds. And hopefully find a job after christmas break? Or do I be responsible and keep my job and work till this summer? Negating any chance of fun for christmas break.
El Sitherino Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 If you quit, good luck finding a new job.
Rogue15 Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 it's easy to get a job. experience is always a plus. better to quit than get fired.

Instead they hire the drunk dumbasses that always show up drunk and stoned.
TK-8252 Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 If you really hate your job, and you're positive that you will have enough money to last, go ahead and quit.
Spider AL Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Last time I quit a job it took me a year to find other work. But it was WORTH it. Just be aware that you may find it hard to get work, and then make an informed decision, as I did.
ET Warrior Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Quit so you have more time to hang out with me Actually, I don't know what to tell you man, I know you hate your job, but you need to pay the bills somehow. And yet, you should have a good christmas and not be working the entire time. I'd start looking for another job, and if you find anything promising dump Safeway like a bag o potatoes.
Master_Ginn Posted December 5, 2004 Author Posted December 5, 2004 Well my boss has been treating me like crap lately and if he's a super jerk tomorrow i think i'll have a hard time not quiting!
Sabretooth Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Well, quit if you must, but start looking for a job early on... you don't wanna take big risks.
Breton Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 You should probably quit, a nice cristmas break is more important than slaving for a jerk boss. What do you work as, btw?

Instead they hire the drunk dumbasses that always show up drunk and stoned. hmm...try temp agencies. That's how i got my current job. best part of about temp agencies is you don't do the same job forever. but of course...they'll prolly put you in a factory. of course, another way to go is just walk into any small business and ask if they are hiring or if they could use some help, etc. (tho i'm too shy to do something like that)
Evil Dark Jedi Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 If you really hate your job, and you're positive that you will have enough money to last, go ahead and quit. Exactly what I was going to say.
obi Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Quitting and not working is not as cracked up as it sounds. You'll run out of money relatively faster than you thought, trust me. And that's without buying extra stuff you do not truely need to live. Car insurance is the only thing I have to pay for, and it's a killer on me. I only have enough for one more payment, and then I'm broke. I've been looking since the end of August for a job, and as Sithy said, they always hire the morons instead of me. (I feel your pain, IS) So take it from a quitter: IT STINKS. If you make $6.00 or more an hour, keep your job. If it's minimum wage and your boss treats you like that, ask for lesser hours or time off. If he/she doesn't allow any of that, then call it off. But remember, you need as much money as you can get this day in age.
Astrotoy7 Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Bah ! stop whining.... if the boss is givin you the irrits... dont quit, get even man ! This is what astro has done whenever I found myself in similar situations... 1. spread rumours about him being gay and making passes at you, and sneaking looks at your privates when in the loo 2. pee in his coffee 3. invite him out for a beer, pee in his beer 4. send flowers to his wife, marked 'secret admirer' 5. start rumours that his wife is having an affair, because he cant get an erection, and that this is evidenced by the flowers she is always getting The thing with quitting is, it depends what type of job you want to go on to, its always better to FIND ANOTHER JOB FIRST and then move on.... mtfbwya
KBell Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Find a new job, then quit. Better to be safe than in an alley asking people for change.
Leper Messiah Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Originally posted by KBell Find a new job, then quit. Better to be safe than in an alley asking people for change. indeed that is the correct course of action in my opinion as well
Nalukai Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 find a job you would like before you go...get hired to start when you come back, then disappear from the old one.
jon_hill987 Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Find a new job and arrange to start when your money is gonna run out, then quit. you get som time inbetween jobs without the worry of finding a new one. (or do some temping)
RpTheHotrod Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Quit ONLY if you know for sure you can get into another job. That's a lot of risk.
Alegis Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 I believe you made topics before about your job (something with vacation), and it sure doesn't sound like a good one. Quit it and have fun with the family You'll find a new one
Darth333 Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 It always looks better on a resume if you have a job than no job when you are looking for a job. Depending on what kind of job you are looking for, it can also be useful to negotiate salary and advantages.
Master_Ginn Posted December 5, 2004 Author Posted December 5, 2004 What do you work as, btw? Well i work for Safeway, as a seafood clerk. I basically do all the jobs my boss does but gets paid 10$ less than him. I get paid $7.14 hr. But i also have to pay 20 bucks a week for union fees. And thats another thing, we're having negotiations on a new contract so it is possible that we may strike! Plus i smell when i get home.
KBell Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Find a job that will pay you 7.14 an hour, THEN quit.
