I am about to quit my job...

[shelschrader]

I say go for it! He sounds like a terrible person to work for. You shouldn't have to be scared at work. Let us know how it goes, good luck!

There is no job worth your sanity or your health!! I was stuck in a job like that for over a year, I was mentally burnt out & when I would come home I was so taxed I didn't want to talk,eat or think.. my husband & kids were suffering & one day I just couldn't take it I went to lunch & didn't come back (not like me at all) it was the first time I think I breathed in over a year, I did go back for two weeks to train who was taking my place but I never regretted it or looked back & now I'm doing what makes me happy!!

I am fixing to quit also.....probably today. My boss called, but I wouldn't talk to her ( she has made SO sick of everything about her and a job I once loved that all I have to say at the moment are mean things....true facts, but mean so that is why I didn't take her call ) My husband told her I was trying to get in touch with her supervisor...I am trying to find his # without going through her, but so far no luck. I don't want to stay stressed or mad about a job, but before I leave I want her supervisor to know the " dirt " on her and I can either work under someone else or find another company.

Good Luck to you, sounds like your doing the right thing.

When you hand him the key, just imagine the huge group of YT cheerleaders behind you cheering you on!

[Rosey07]

You know what I say "Congrats!!!" and I wish you the best!! and working where there is too much stress is not the best!!!

[Little Bit]

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do! Sounds like the right decision, but I think I would let him know why you are quitting, just so he'll have something to think about, unless of course there could be serious repercussion from it.

Thanks everyone for your support. I really appreciate it.

I don't want to delve too much into the story, just because I'd make a huge post and it would all be so negative about the man and the way he does business, and about the Sprint corporation, and I just want to put it all behind me. He went to the bathroom, and I walked out the door and drove off. I feel so cowardly and like such a bad person, but I'm just trying to tell myself that he is the one who should feel bad, not me.

He's not a very bright guy, and I feel like if I would have tried to talk to him about the situation, it would have just made matters much worse.

SIGH!!!! I have very mixed feelings. I feel great knowing that I am going to go back to a job that I love, waitressing/bartending. I feel great that I don't ever have to go back to that job. I feel bad that I stuck him in a bind. I feel bad that he can't ever keep an employee. But those really aren't my problems. Doesn't mean I don't feel bad about it though. It was kind of now or never, because I got paid today and was completely paid up, and if I would have waited then he would have had to pay me in 2008, and I'd rather just wash my hands of it and start fresh. I guess you could call it a new year's resolution.

[Nikki+2]

Yay! You're free! Congratulations!

I finally made the decision to quit a job I had been unhappy at for 13 years. It is hard to do, but I look back now and wish I hadn't waited so long. You shouldn't have to feel scared or sick at your job. Sounds like you have a good plan in place.

[red98vett]

GOOD FOR YOU ! No one should have to work in a place they feel unsafe and I personally am glad you're out no matter HOW you did it - it sounds like he deserved to have someone just leave without a discussion - that shows you just don't care and I hope you don't feel too bad about it. He drove you to that decision and if he's dishonest on top of it then now maybe you can report him to someone too ! I wouldn't want you to get in trouble but a person 'in power' sure doesn't need to act like such a JERK....

So - here's to your new start in 2008 - I just know you did the right thing

[LunasMomma]

Like V said, I'd report him and WHY you walked out. If you felt unsafe, I'm sure that the next employee would too Someone like that shouldn't be in a position of power.

BTW, I hate Sprint too But from a customer point of view

Congratulations, you're free!!!!!!!!!!

YOU GO GIRL. Take it from one who has been there. It is not worth the stress and anxiety for getting up and going in to work someplace you hate. I did it myself for way too long....and like you...it wasn't like I had to stay. One day I just walked in and said...I quit. Felt like the world was lifted off my shoulders. I'm glad you had the guts to do it.

Thanks again ladies. You all are great.

I'm taking the TABC now to get a waitress job next week. Did you know that men metabolize alcohol faster than women, even at the same size and weight, just because thier bodies are made up of more water than ours?
Also, did you know that the week before your period, you absorb alcohol faster into your blood, therefore raising your BAC? Same for women who are on the pill.
Hmm...

Is that done online somewhere? I know I take Defensive Driving online (to reduce my insurance). Let me know. Not that I'm gonna take Tabc too, but I like to file away info like that in my mind for "just in case". Who knows!

[IluvLucy]

Way to go! I wish I had the courage to do the same thing!
