I was being pressured at work w/unnecessary interruptions during busiest time of day. Threatened to walk out and got emotionally upset. Mother is very ill and stress got to me. Boss said "whatever makes you happy" when I said I was leaving. Not suited for job anyway (more experienced than job requires and used to being in professional setting - not setting I am in.) Went back to work next day. Boss under stress too and seemed surprised to see me.She had recruited me. Big boss understanding. Don't want to quit without another job. Have I messed up forever? Should I just go back Monday and continue to work hard as I have always done? Do I owe anyone ANOTHER apology? I have already said I am sorry. Need some advice.
Thanks.

Pls.on't quit. Look for another job first and then do it. I was also in a very stressful job; couldn't handle the two-facingv from coworkers.
Looked online --sent 200 resumes online and the offers came flooding...
GL!

You are under so much pressure. Please make sure that you do get time to yourself. Caring for an ill parent is stressful. Did you sit down with your "Big Boss" and talk to him about your home situation? I had to deal with a sick mother when she was living. I made sure that my employer was understanding to the situation and that I did not take advantage of my understanding boss. Is there any way that you can quit work and care for only your mother? Some Home Health Care Facilities will hire relatives to care for the sick relative. The pay is only not much but many good people do live off the pay. social Services may help you as well as other organizations. The Salvation Army may be able to assist you also. There is help for you and your mother. Do not get stressed out.

First, give yourself some grace. We're all only human, including your boss. Don't quit without another job, it is a lot easier to find a job while you have a job. You have not messed up forever. Go back Monday, work hard If your immediate boss does not know there are outside factors, you may want to consider sharing that with her. You can do that without going into specifics. If any co-workers overheard the outburst, you may want to consider a short, but heartfelt apology to them.

You know I was very stressed out one day and made some comments and had a confrontation with my boss, at that time I was able to let her know what really got me upset and we talked about it, I think you did the right think stress is very hard and they only thing I might suggest is that you take time off to be with your mom, there is a law that allows family time off for illness etc. Good luck and leave when you are ready..

not attempting to sound like a not undemanding guy, yet concerning the only time I cry is via dying. I actual tend to alter into extra pissed than disillusioned over issues. i think i'm an exceedingly stereotypical male in that regard. Did Incubus of all and sundry fairly purely call somebody else a sociopath and a psychopath?

not that its any of their business, but i would just explain your situation (again?), and say you're sorry. if you're really not happy at your job, look for a new one on the DL, and when you're hired, give an appropriate/2 weeks notice and leave. you'll probably need a good reference for any future job endeavors, so keep these people on your side. good luck, and i'm sorry about your mom!
