My opinion is that you should only quit if you have another job offered or ready to work at! I know it sucks... I’m also working on transitioning out of cashier work.

Can I ask why you're transitioning? Is it for similar reasons ?

@?? Well yes I also just want to move forward with my life. I’m finding a new career and just don’t want customer service/min wage anymore

It’s easier to get a job if you’re currently employed somewhere, so hang in there while you’re searching if you can, especially if you don’t have a financial safety net. Are there some ways you can take special care of yourself around your job, if that makes sense? Can you do a little self-affirming meditation before you start or on your break, plan a bubble bath or a call to a supportive friend first thing when you get home, or even make a little game of mentally “scoring” the most ridiculous thing a customer says to you? Maybe if you get four cranky customers in a row, you get a little treat, and if you get two awesome ones, you give fifty cents to a homeless person on your way home. So there’s a little goal to think about beyond just the people you have to deal with. I hope you’re able to get out of this negative job soon, and find something better!

Omg I’m in the same exact position at the moment. I work in a restaurant cleaning and waitressing and I think I might have to quit. If we do quit we need to remember that it’s for ourselves, we’re not letting anyone down and we’ve been brave and have tried just have been a little defeated. I get the failure feeling, I feel like people will look at me as weak but we need to remember that it’s okay and we need to start doing things for ourselves and doing things that make us feel comfortable and this isn’t x

I agree with you. We need to start doing things for ourselves. I feel that on a personal level. But before you guys do maybe try and look for a different job before quitting and put in your two weeks once you know you have a new job. Personally my advice would be to also work the two weeks only because I believe it makes you look good instead of quitting and walking out or not coming back. I walked out of my job once for two days. I had another girl who quit but put her two weeks in and worked until those two weeks were up and I think that just shows the difference between my character and hers. It was more loyal I suppose? Or more reliable maybe? Maybe I’m using the wrong wording but just know this is just my opinion and advice you do not have to take it. Either of you don’t. Personally from where I work and what I experienced she moved up quicker than me but I also have been at my job for 5 years now. I pushed to stay. Do what is best for yourselves. I have my own personal reasons for staying. I wanted to be manager and felt like I owed some people for helping me. Also I feel like if we find another job and work the two weeks after putting in a notice at the original job that when the next person that is deciding whether to hire you or not can see that you’re not just gonna leave them hanging ya know? If I made anything worse for you guys I apologize as my experience and drive was different for awhile.

Hey guys little update..I've decided I'm going to put in my two weeks tomorrow. I'm nervous it may be the wrong decision but this job is making me have thoughts of harming myself and I just don't think thats normal. I've even talked to my managers and it doesn't seem like they understand the severity of my issues right now. With Christmas everything is 10x more stressful and I'm suffering alot.

Hey hope you’re well, I have had to leave for the exact same reasons as you. I promise you once you do it it’ll feel so much easier bc it’s not another thing to think about. This way we can treat and relax over the holidays and go job searching after. I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling, but just know that you are not alone and it will get better. Xx

I feel like a failure for having to quit but I've never been for more suicidal in my life.

A little frustrated.
So im 20 and I’m the assistant manager at my job, I constantly work with customers and I struggle with my role and a manager. I constantly feel like I’m less than and like I can never be good enough which is why I need constant reassurance. It replays in my head over and over like a broken record “you’re a failure” “not good enough” “you don’t deserve this role” to the point where I have to take a 10 to calm myself down. It’s exhausting, KNOWING I deserve this role but THINKING I’ll never be good enough. Anybody else struggle with this at work ?

Quitting a job
Who has quit a job due to a hostile environment? I worked as an in-home caregiver for the past 5 years which I absolutely loved, before that I worked in only restaurants. I moved in September and my client’s mother had retired so my hours were shortened. I decided to get something easy/part time so I started serving again in a restaurant. I’m a sensitive person as is, but I have one specific coworker who is a bully to me, a manager snapped at me and I cried, I avoid another manager cause he is mean, and another said the F word to me cause I dropped some scallops lol. Maybe they are small things and I am overreacting, but like every day before I go in there I am low key like hoping for someone to pull something so I can just leave. I woke up with anxiety looking at what time I start today. Idk why I’m having a hard time pulling the plug, I have only been there since September!! I look at my coworkers and I’m like how have you guys been here for years? Is no one seeing this? Any advice or just feedback would be great lol.
