Answer 1

Age is irrelevant.....if you "got talked " into returning, and you said you would come in, then you must. Learn at an early age...your word is your character. Don't count the votes of people on this site, hoping you get enough people to tell you, "sure,man, it's cool. Don't worry about anyone but yourself." Have some honor.
Go in, as you SAID you would. Then tell them or bring in a letter stating that you are giving them notice. Whether you have bills to pay, or not, is NOT the issue. Surely, you know better than that. It's about keeping your word.

Answer 2

You should go tomorrow, and tell the manager:

"Listen...I gave my notice and I can't stay at this job any longer. I will come in tomorrow so I don't leave you hanging, but you should find someone to take over my shifts for the rest of the week"

That way you don't have to stay the whole schedule and you don't leave them empty handed....if you just don't go after you SAID you would, they will get angry and trust me you don't want to burn those bridges. You never know when you'll work with those people again or if you may want the job back in the future.

Answer 3

I know how that is...that's why I started my own business (can you hate yourself as your own boss? LOL) I don't think you should stay in a situation that you are uncomfortable in. Find another job that will make you happy and you feel you are appreciated for the job you do. If you live at home and have no bills and decide to quit, just find another job as soon as you can. Working gives you self worth and self respect. You do what you feel is right and what makes YOU happy. People leave their jobs everyday and their former employers always survive. Don't let someone make you feel guilty so that you stick around. Good luck with this! :) ~Kendra Leigh

Answer 4

well, maybe it will be good for you. if you are going to stay look for things that you are learning from being there. tolerance, indurance. willingness. cooperetive skills, communication, dedication, openness, loyalty. you can learn a lot more about how to be in future jobs, your ideal job. so if you do hang in there, even though you may hate it, it can turn into a positive for you were you will be developing your skills there, and will look good on your resume to. not having bills etc is not the point. you can use the experience. cause you will not always live there. and possibly you can save that money for when you do. so your not so strapped like most people starting out. they have meager means in there house hold etc.

Answer 5

Important question. Is there any way that you will need this current job as a reference or on your resume in the future? If the answer is yes or maybe, finish out your obligations. If no, I'd say thanks but no thanks and bail.

Remember, at 18 you are building your resume for your future. And your resume is what will bring you your paycheck. Living with mom and dad now is great, but someday you won't be... and your paycheck is the difference of having nice things or not.

Would it really kill you to finish? Think of how proud you'll be for not giving up and taking the easy way out.

Also, you said you "possibly" have another job. Never, ever, never quit your current job, until you have another one.

Answer 6

Well, from experience try not to quit a job based on the people or the conditions of a job. They must be dyslexic and illiterate because you did tell them that you put in a two weeks notice. Sometimes you have to put it in writing, and if you did then that is your proof, not that you probably care. Other than that, I suggest you speak with the person that you gave the notice to, and tell him or her that you have another obligation.

Answer 7

If you gave your two weeks notice, then I'm not sure how
they talked you into staying. When they did this, how long
did you say you'd stay?

If you said you wanted the job back, then arguably you need
to give another two weeks notice, but if you said you'd stay
for a "few more days", I don't think you need to do anything
more than work 3.

Answer 8

You should have told them no when they asked you to stay! They have no right to do that, you already put in your two weeks notice! You should definatly go back in and tell them that they need to find someone else because you will not work the extra time they scheduled you. You gave them plenty of notice and if they didnt plan accordingly that is not your fault.

Answer 9

They may be a future reference for another job down the road. Bite the bullet and put in the time. The worst thing that happens is that you'll earn a few more bucks out of it.

Good Luck.

Answer 10

I shouldn't be answering, I'm legally drunk. So, having been forwarned, here it is: If you hate your job, you hate your life. I've been there. I speak truth. Your spelling "schduel" makes me wonder, however. Are you sure you're ready to enter the workforce? And would you prefer an apendectomy or a toenail removal???

Answer 11

What are you talking about?
You actually gave them two weeks' notice and you feel you NEED to go back because you're on the schedule? It doesn't work that way.

If you didn't give it to them in writing, I'd do a WORD doc up quickly with the date stating that this is a written resignation letter in additon to the verbal two weeks' notice I gave you on-----------.
Geez...get a backbone!
