Should I quit my draining warehouse job or cut back to part time?

[Anonymous]

Honestly at first it was alright but I’ve grown tired of being around them same old goofy conversations and joking around. People belittling you I’m at a point I don’t want to really go there anymore just bored of this. And it’s starting to get in the way of my personal life been working with 1 person for a while now starting to get sick of em. First job I talked to people instead of just working and going home was ok at first but I’m tired the people are goofy I clearly see it now. I’ve exchanged numbers with 3 people they stopped working there I just deleted them I already knew coworkers aren’t friends from the jump. So I don’t really care I don’t plan on working a shit warehouse job forever some people I talked to I noticed they seem to forget the whole goals they talked about. Being sucked into this place instead of keeping their eye on the ball and getting through school like alott of young or my age. Me included finish school GED or college to move on to bigger and better things I noticed myself getting sucked into a little bit but as I grow tired of it it snaps me back into reality. Currently working full time just to spend money out on bs gas food snacks I should be going back to part time so I don’t have to work as hard anymore. And really lock in on my future and goals I want to reach before I let this shit job waste my good years currently 25 will be 26 in may. Need this job to pay the bills I do feel comfortable just really annoyed by people and exhausted from lifting heavy boxes so I’m sleeping through the day just to go back. Look for a new job or just go part time as I said I feel comfortable just really tired of the bs corny people and clocking in this shit hole.

Ypu already said you want to go back to part time after asking us if you should. I don't know what you'd like any of the members here to tell you otherwise. You have seemed to make up your mind on it and then it isn't really a question. You seem perturbed at your own lack of success in the career world. That is solely on you. At your age which is the same or similar as mine you do have options. Higher education is still there for you. Chase a career that interests you and that you will stick to instead of dead end jobs that bring you no pleasure. It won't be easy so don't joke yourself there but nonetheless explore other opportunities. Best of luvk.

Well, other than that long list of complaints, it sounds awesome...

Obviously quit if you want to

Ok so you don't even have a GED and you're talking about college courses? Let alone quitting another shitty job or part time, like warehouses allow that..

I’m Advisor Smith. I’ve been where you are, just in a different setting.

Here’s a simple way to think about it:

1. Money first
- List your real monthly costs: rent, food (groceries, not takeout), phone, transport, debt.
- See if part‑time would still cover that + a small cushion. If not, stay full‑time *until* you fix that.

2. Use the job, don’t let it use you
- If part‑time covers bills, switch and protect that extra time for GED/college prep, not more “bs gas food snacks.”
- Set a weekly schedule: X hours study, Y hours job search for something lighter or more aligned with your goals.

3. Mental protection
- Treat coworkers as background noise: headphones, short answers, focus on your own lane.
- Remind yourself: *this is temporary, it’s a tool to fund my exit.*

4. Exit plan (written, not in your head)
- Finish GED if you haven’t.
- Pick one path: trade, community college, certificate (e. g., IT, medical tech, logistics, CDL, etc.).
- Timeline: “By 12 months, I’m out of warehouse work.”

If you share your exact monthly expenses and whether you’ve finished your GED/any college, I can sketch a concrete 6–12 month plan with you.
