Ever quit your job?

[LostandFound__x]

I’m quitting my job this week and I’m really sad about it.

It took me more than 6 months to land my job and I was really happy about it. I enjoyed it too.

A few months ago I got a new manager and he has made my life a living hell since. I’ve tried everything but leaving seems to be the only solution left.

I’m now applying for new jobs but in all honesty this entire situation makes me sad.

FYI I am fortunate that I can quit my job because my parents can support me in the meantime.

Why did he made your life a living hell princess rapunzel? 🤔

I'm glad because your parents are there for you!

You see in the future if someday you got married, in case you didn't become a housewife and worked a part time job, your husband must be ready for such situations, which means a wife shouldn't worry when she leaves her job because her soul provider is her man and responsible of her.

A wife should only need her husband and no one else, she owe nothing to no one!

[LostandFound__x]

I’m very relieved and fortunate that I come from a culture where as a woman I’m not required to provide for myself :)

He’s been very horrible to me but my last straw was accusing me of something I didn’t do in front of everyone, insisting on it and embarrassing me.

[TonyMetal___86]

It seems that you gave him so much chances that he didn't deserves, leave and never look back, god will give you something better 😌

[LostandFound__x]

Thank you!! I hope so!

[TonyMetal___86]

You're welcome!

[TonyMetal___86]

Thanks for the mho sweet princess alyssa rapunzel 😊

[LostandFound__x]

You’re welcome :)

You already know MY story. I didn't quit, but I can totally relate. A similar thing happened to me. Maybe not as extreme, but I didn't have any problems until they put that corrupt bald motherfucker in charge of us.

[KostasKouvalis]

I hope you find something better

[LostandFound__x]

Thank you! Toxic workplaces are horrible but the money is security :(

[KostasKouvalis]

I know. I don't understand why we can't just have a bardering and favor for favor system

[RebelinSteel]

No not really, I did end a job I had before going to University, however that was just down to going to uni.

what job you aiming for next?

[LostandFound__x]

Same job just somewhere else :)

[RebelinSteel]

Good luck, sounds like best move

[SweetJoyGirl]

Oh, yea. I quit my job recently. I also got a new manager and she treated me so bad. At first she was nice and all, then all of a sudden she started making up things about me. I didn’t understand why.

I really loved the job, too. I had been there longer than her. It was sad.

[LostandFound__x]

Yeah. I was doing really well before he came along.

[Universaldance]

Sorry it turned out for you this way. Seems like it would be a hassle to resolve whatever personal issues that boss may have with you. This seemingly seems like adversity that could provide you with some seeds of equal or greater benefit depending on if you frame your mind around working things out and being the bigger person- clearly he isn’t and bosses can also be given the boot esp if he’s the only one. I mean- you’ve been there for a while before he had.


On the other side of things, it is always good to have a push like this. Sometimes we get stagnate and may be a sign that there’s much greater things awaiting. I hope you’re able to find a place where people and the culture will appreciate what you can add.


Glad your parents can support you throughout this season as well.

I’m sorry about that. Yeah managers can really make or break the experience and while it’s sad. It’s not worth it to be absolutely miserable. I hope you find something else you like.

Look. Allow yourself to grieve. Even if it’s for the best you have a attachment to your old workplace. You’re not going to see people you used to see. It’s hard to part. Allow yourself to grieve because people who don’t grieve things properly it comes up later on.

Thank you!

Your welcome

I did many times until I learned that the problems I experienced were related to autism... now I know how to handle it

[Staximus]

How about you report the manager to the human resources dept. Tell them this bastard had made your life hell and you really want to stay with the company, but feel like quitting is your only option.

[LostandFound__x]

I did report him to someone more senior than him twice.

[DishLady]

Yeah, I have. A bad manager can turn everything to 💩.
You certainly ARE lucky that your parents can do this for you. Not everyone has that luxury.
Chin up. Hang in there, the new job should come along soon. :)

[noohair]

You can't fix the company you work for. I would not leave until you find other job. Leaving before finding another job is a bad decision.

[LostandFound__x]

I have a 2 month notice

So how has he made your life a living hell? I’ve never quit a job. I didn’t rely on my parents to support me at 18 nor will I now at this age.

[LostandFound__x]

Causing problems every day.

[Opinion Owner]

Ok. Be specific. Like what?

[LostandFound__x]

why?

[Opinion Owner]

Because there needs to be more context to this. A lot of women tend to blame the man when in reality it was them. So in order to make a better judgement, give better advice it would be helpful if you could prove the whole story, not just the parts that make you look good.

I just did two weeks ago. I decided I wanted to retire. It was a good job and I liked my boss and all my coworkers. I just decided I wanted to do other things with my life.

I quit my last job and couldn’t swipe the smile off my face for a couple months.
I screwed them over so bad.
They had to fly in a regional guy from California to help get caught up.


I’m still have a huge smile.

[Opinion Owner]

Just to clarify I was hired as a supervisor from a temp service. The company that hired me promised pay raise, health benefits, and other things but never delivered over 6 months. I live in Phoenix and we had 6 trailers to unload by hand and the temperatures were 110+.

I told them I had to go take a piss test for a company that wanted to hire me. That was a lie. I just walked off the job without another job lined up.

It all worked out. Now I’m a manager making $120k/yr.

[LostandFound__x]

that’s great!

[Iron_Man]

Why did it take you six months? How did you pay your bills in between time?

[LostandFound__x]

Because the job market is really bad right now and I’m in a very competitive sector.

I live with my mum.

[NathanDavis]

not like that, no... just completed my cycle then moved to better opportunities

[Nikki1989]

I have quit a job to start at a better job, yes.

[RedInnocent69]

Don’t quit. Report your manager to HR. If he’s changing your work or making it intolerable, sue the company.

[TallAnon]

I might do it again soon for a similar reason; But we will talk to the ceo first

[Jmmmfi4]

SOMETIMES ITS BEST TO LEAVE... LIFES TO SHORT

[FunkyMonkee]

A few times. Mostly over morals.

[OddBeMe]

Uhhh…. tell HR he sexually harassed you. Boom.

[msc545]

Yes, good advice. That will get him fired.

[shortster]

Does it count if you have another job?

[Anonymous]

Just my first job.

[jahaims]

Yeah

[eagle1951]

i few times
