I'm tired of putting up with a lot of crap at work. Should I wait and give it a few more weeks or quit now?

Question

1) Boss has me working almost every day, which I don't truly mind, but having me close two or three nights a week.

2) We keep getting new people added to the crew and having to train them.

3) I hate putting up with customers who think that they have to complain about almost everything (i.e. food not being cooked properly or order not made correctly)

4) I don't like having to deal with the new coupons that come in almost everyday

5) Even though this is my first job in over a year, I'm starting to get to the end of my rope.

6) The hours are too tiring.

7) I'm the only person of my color that works at the job.

8) And I feel like I'm doing more than just my share of the cleaning when the resturaunt isn't really busy.

9) Having to open almost every week.

10) Feel like I just don't belong there.

Answer 1

Make sure you give your boss some notice. your next employer won't want to hire someone who walks out without giving him/her some notice. Your current boss maybe a ****, but don't hurt yourself over a job you are quitting. Give two weeks notice tomorrow.

Answer 2

Sounds like you work in fast food. There's no future in that kind of place so if you don't like it then quit. Either that, or stay on for another week or two and look for another job if you can find the time.

Answer 3

Be happy sweetie. No job is worth that. I don't know your financial situation but I would put in my two weeks or wait until I get another job offer to resign. I have been in a similiar situation and really feel for ya. Keep your head up and get away from the negativity!:)

Answer 4

You are lucky to even have a job. Some of us either don't have a job and live in the streets, becuase they don't have nothing. I would settle for anything right about now just to be out into the world and makeing money to pay my bills and have a roof over my head. Most of the jobs out there have have your ups and downs. So, appreciate that you have a secured job.

Answer 5

If you are that miserable, look for another job. Don't quit that one until you have another but start looking. Obviously, this type of business (food industry) is not your cup of tea so start thinking about other options, maybe return to school and get a real career.

Good luck!

Answer 6

I would look for something else before quitting. Do not take this the wrong way, but it sounds like most of it is just job blues.

I worked for a shitty company for 6 years, at 12 hours a day. I made more money there, than I could have any place else. It was not my dream job, but you have to work.

Answer 7

Life is too short to be miserable. if you don't like what you are doing than find something you do like. However keep in mind it is easier to get a job if you can show that you are currently working than it is if you quit. Good luck

Answer 8

This is your first job in over a year?

You need to 'suck it up' and stick with it for awhile. Show your next employer that you can keep a job.

Don't quit this job before you find another one.

If you came into my business and applied for a job, with the resume you just described, I would show you the door.

Answer 9

And I would be willing to bet that you have been there less than a month. I implore you to consider sticking it out.

Think about it this way. With the amount of turn over in staff they obviously have if you are continually training new people you will soon be one of the senior team members.

Answer 10

It sounds like u need a career. Get a better job and also go to school at the same time or you will be with this problem for some time.
