stingerhs Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Originally posted by Feanaro But i also have to pay 20 bucks a week for union fees. unions....*shutters* i, for one, am very thankful that i live where you don't have to join a union to get a job. note, i'm not anti-union. i just don't like dealing with them. anyway, i realize that it is well past the time where employers are looking for more workers for christmas, but go ahead and start searching anyway. if your patience fails you, call up the places you applied at and ask for an interview. persistance is usually quite helpful when looking for a job, especially if you actually do have an interest in the job that you've applied for. that way, you might land a job that you'll enjoy.
topshot Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 It's better to have a job you enjoy and are comfortable with than to have one with which you're not.

kipperthefrog Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 At goodwill, my boss yelled at me crap. example: when I straightened the shoes, I spent too much time looking for the shoes's mates. she yelled at me for that and said just throw them away. nextime i just threw them shoes away, she yelled at me and said i should spend more time looking for the mates. either way i loose. I put up with her crap for almost a year. I just looked for a job nonstop until Kroger picked me. I got lucky I found another job in less than a week. A friend of mine who also worked there did the same thing and noone hired him. poor guy still works at goodwill. If you do quit without garentee for a job,, live with a relitive until you find another job. that way your money will last longer.
StormHammer Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 They say that it's easier to get employment if you're in employment. I'd suggest retaining your current work but look for another job elsewhere, go for interviews (if you haven't done that in a while it's good experience even if you don't get some of the jobs you go after). As others have said, quitting a job may give you a sense of satisfaction for a few days, but you'll have to deal with the long term consequences of such action. In the UK at least, if you quit your job you aren't entitled to the same kind of benefits as if you were made redundant - because you chose to give up work. Lastly, I've been in the situation of having very little money to live on - damned near ended up homeless at one point - and it isn't fun. I'm sick of the job I do at the moment, but at least my employer is flexible enough to cut me some slack due to health issues, and so I stick with it.

Joe© Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 do what you think is right but don't take our word for it, but I think you should keep it for now, life is full of Sacrifices.
Master_Ginn Posted December 7, 2004 Author Posted December 7, 2004 Well i've come to my conclusion. For the next two days i'm going to go look for jobs, and see if they're hiring after the new year. If it looks promising i'm going to give my two weeks notice, that way i'll have a little more money just in case i don't find a job, and i'll get to spend time with my family and freinds. That is if a job looks promissing. Thank you everyone one for giving me advice, and helped me make my decision.
Joe© Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 ya we love to help people when the Consequences won't hurt us any.
