| I am about to quit my job... And by about, I mean here within the next hour. I am not the kind of person who just walks out on a job, but I feel like I can't even last the rest of this day. I feel physically sick because my anxiety about this job and the man I work for is so bad. I plan on giving him his key back when he gets back from lunch. I am so nervous. Then I plan on going home and taking the Texas Alchohol and Beverage Certification so I can go back to waiting tables. I have been a waitress for over 8 years, and when I moved to TX this fall I switched to cell phone sales. And I just can't do it anymore. I can be TABC certified in a matter of hours, and can apply at a restaurant starting Monday. Financially I have over a month before I need to have another job, and my boyfriend is very supportive of it. he says if I am not happy, then I should quit. I am just so fed up with my boss, he is a dishonest man, he judges people, and is racist on top of it! I have been offended by him on many occasions, and have felt unsafe in my working environment many times. I do feel bad for walking out the door, but really, I don't want to be paid by him in 2008. I want to get my W2 for this year and wash my hands of the whole job. I guess I'm just looking to my YT friends for support. I'm very nervous, this is very out of character for me, but I have been pushed over the edge.

| Thanks so much Megan! I knew YT members would give me the pats on the back that I need. I'm just so nervous because I'm such a loyal employee to others, it seems so awful to do this. But to be honest, it has been more than awful working here.

| Oh I'm sure once I get home I'll get on YT and let it all out! I know I'll need someone to talk to once it is all over. Shoot, obviously I need someone to talk to about it now, or I wouldn't be here!

| My sister just did the same thing 2 weeks ago after being there for 15yrs, I will tell you what i told her, It does not matter how much you make or How much time you have been there, If your not happy, none of that matters, It sounds like you boss was just like hers, a real jerk She was getting phisically & mentally sick day after day, finally she had enough and walked out, now they are fighting her on the unemployment. I wish you the very best, with what you decide to do..but be happy doing it HUGS

| Oh no, I'm so sorry you are going through this. But hun, you know we support you and will be here to listen. I would just be a little concerned about having a new job before I left one...that's all. Hugs! -Judy, John and Gizmo

And to be perfectly honest with everyone, my BF is independently wealthy. He was hit by a semi when he was a senior in highschool, luckily lived, although he has 3 titanium vertibre because of it, and got a settlement from the insurance company. We don't worry much about money. And please don't think I tell you all of this as a way to brag or hold my nose in the air, I just want you all to understand my situation. We aren't frivilous, but we don't have to make ourselves unhappy just to feed our family. And I also feel that at 25 years old with no other obligations like a morgage or children, I can take bigger risks than most are willing to take.

| Just do it. Life is too short. You will feel so much better after it's done. I've been in that position and felt I needed to "do the right thing" because I too am an honest & hardworking employee with "old fashioned work ethics". Well, sometimes the person you work for ISN'T. Just because they are your boss doesn't mean anything. When I quit that job I hated I waited around suffering along until I had another job, then typed up a letter of resignation, then was going to just leave it for the "boss" but I saw her on the way out so thought I'd do the right thing and go tell her face-to-face. She made me feel like less than dirt for quitting including speaking mockingly in front of another employee about me quitting. So I was sorry I didn't just stick with my initial plan of leaving the resignation letter on her desk and walking out. Its all about how you feel, honey. Go for it. You deserve to feel good about what you do for work & deserve the best. |

| When I quit my university job...I sent letters to the appropriate people w/ a two week notice. I couldn't stand the thought of staying there any longer because the way things were done up there, etc. AND the thought of staying there TWO full weeks after giving notice made me soooo sick because there were lots of higher ups there that were very spiteful....I just dreaded having to deal w/ them for TWO weeks......well, they didn't give me two weeks...they hired a temp to take my place, and had someone from the main office come to train them. So, I was out of there! I have never looked back. I admit...I was nervous about quitting, but knew it was the right thing to do...and the longer I thought and worried about it, the sicker I made myself. Do it..........and don't look back.......it will be a great turning point in your life!

| That makes it an easy decision then. Do what you need to do.
