I recently started a new job, and I hate it. The people are snobby, I have had virtually no training, and I make less money then I did before I took this job. I took it because my husband wanted me to, and now I'm miserable. I want to know if I have a bad case of new job jitters, or is it something else?

The snobby people wont change if you stay longer. The lack of training is a turn off and may put you in a bad situation. You should have known what the pay was but in any case that is not due to new job jitters. I wonder why your husband wanted you to take this job? In any event you should leave as soon as you secure another job. There is no sense in staying if you are unhappy.

Usually, a new job should be exciting, maybe just a little scary because of all the new stuff you ahve to learn (even if it is the same kind of work you did before, no two companies do things exactly the same). If you aren't feeling hopeful about the new job because you are not getting the support and training you need to do it, and, if after asking whoever is supposed to be supervising and/or training you, you get no results, and especially if you took a pay cut and if there isn't the immediate indication that it'd be increased after a probation period, then you ought to think of leaving. Why did your husband want you take this specific job--does he know something you do not (like, if you can get over these beginner's blues, things would get immensely better and you'd make significantly more money)? If not, and seeing how your husband is not the one having to tolerate the job, you should consider finding another job. You should not be dreading your job this early in the game.

When you get that knot in your stomach as you approach the building, when you check the time contantly and the day sames to go by too slow. When you can't SMILE anymore, honey its time to GO. Run for the hills, no JOB is worth this, life is too precious and short live to waste time on a JOB you hate. If it's just extra money you are looking for visit my blog www.extracasheachmonth.com. I do this full time from home because I was in the same situation you are in now and it made me sick going to that job each day. My husband was upset I left the job at first but now my husband is now happy because he sees the checks coming in. I wish you all the best, Good luck too you!

............ when you think about choking the mess out of your boss till his eyeballs pop out through his eardrums ....... then, yes my friend, thats a clear sign its time to go...........
um i'd better keep my mouth shut but... ohhhhhhhh but i know
how long have you been there? proper training plays a key part in your job sucess because, if you do not feel as though you are equipped to handle your duties and responsibilites you'll be totally miserable; moreover... how can you possibly perform the duties of the job to the standards of the company and keep your performance up to par if you havent been properly trained to do the job?
There are always hurldles to overcome with every new job you start.... and you should always give it some time, and learn what you can from your coworkers..... but sometimes you have to know when to let it go and move on....... if that jobs not suitable for you, then i'm sure there's one out there that is. Besides, any place thats making you miserable is not worth staying at in the long run. Give it time, talk to them about it......... You should address these concerns with your coworkers/boss, and then if it does not come to a resolve .... then probably nothings going to change there, and you should begin to look for another job; i'm sure there's one out there for you more suitable.
But all in all.... when youre utterly miserable and dream of strangling your boss (or coworkers in your case) then yes, dear its time to go ..... i.e. if you feel like this: (check out the link!)http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al6p9prLhao53Dg_le_SJ23ty6IX?qid=20070811221834AA5w4Qe

Hang in there for a few days. If you still hate the job, quit. No job is worth you being miserable.

I dont know how long you have been there, but being the new girl at work is as bad as being the new girl in high school. You may need to give it a few weeks. If you still wake up and dread going there and would rather spend your time scraping dead animals off the road....it may be time to move on!!! Good luck.

Keep the job, have an affair with the boss, get a raise and a promotion, find a new husband. and give your old husband this sucky job so he can see how HE likes it!

Why did you take this job for your husband?
I would stick it a out a couple of weeks. If it's still not working out and there's no chance of improvement then get out. This is also if it won't upset your husband.
