Answer 1

Spend Tuesdays, Thursdays & Friday mornings looking for a better job.

Answer 2

You won't like this because I say it the way I feel and the way I see the situation. You have an attitude problem, that you need to get over. When you realize you have your whole life ahead of you will also discover this is just a bump in the road. If I were you I wouldn't quit my job until you found one more suitable and challenging for you. That is the best teacher you will ever have is to never, ever change a job without another opportunity in front of you. If you follow that rule it will dicipline you so that you will always have an income. Don't quit and set yourself up to be relying on someone else finanically. That's how you become a bum, and a non-productive person. It's easy to quit a job, but it takes a person with guts to hang on until somethine better comes along. You have plenty of time in between your work days to find something more challenging so used time wisely. Be the best you can be at any job and that includes the one you hate. Your present employer will have to be on your job application when you seek another position as past employment. You will be smart to do well at this job so that you get a good reference from him when you decide to leave. Also you need to give proper notice prior to you leaving. At least two weeks is acceptable. Your work ethics, will like your school records, follow you for the rest of your life, so wise up and those two parts of your life you should always do your best. Believe me when I tell you, you will not be sorry for following these steps. We all sometimes have to do things we do not want to but must unless we are the boss. Remember this a golden rule. The persons who has the most gold will always make the rules. That's my advise, and if you really want to get ahead in life give it a try. Best of Luck to you, Butchrgt

That depends... do you live on your own do you have enough money to support yourself while on a hiatus from working? I'd say stick it out til you find a new job. A job is a job. You can make anything interesting or at least deal with it til you find something you like more. My guess is they want you to be responsible and walking away from a paying job without knowing what lies ahead.... isn't very responsible. Why don't you try to get them to compromise and cut your schedule down so you work less? This way you can go out with your friends and still have some source of income as well. Just an idea... hope it helps!

Answer 4

Your hours dont sound that bad I mean especially if you make plans to hangout friday after work... no one really parties before 6pm, and you dont have work until 5 the next day so you have enough time to recoup from the night before you have to get to work. You have to work around your hours to have fun. But you can start looking for other work for the days, and hours you dont mind working, and for something you might actually like doing... then you'll have your free time to party, and the money to do the things you want to do. If you at least show them your looking for other work they will back off a bit, but if they think your just trying to quit because you hate your job, and want your free time with your friends they dont see that as good enough reasons. They want you to be responsible about it. Also if you do quit make sure you give them two weeks notice, it looks better when you go applying for other jobs if they see you didnt just walk out on your previous job. My cousin was going through this same thing, he walked out, and now is having a terrible time trying to find any work. good luck.

Answer 5

Unfortunately, in the real world, a great many of us hate our jobs - yours has to be one of the worst admittedly but then mine is just under yours - I work in an office with a complete and utter looney for a boss. Anyway, if you had a house and family to keep, you wouldn't be able just to quit without another job to go to so all your parents are doing is preparing you for the horror that is hating your job! Get your finger out and get any other job you can - make it your obssession for the next few months. Sometimes, just putting your all into job seeking can make the current job seem easier. I am actively looking for a better job too. I can't leave mine until I do as I have a family to care for. Good luck to both of us!!!!

Answer 6

First of all, unless you are a minor, grow up! If you are still in high school or under the age of 18, you pretty much have no options. If you are out of school, 18 or older, and still living at home with your parents, then you live by their rules! Find another job that pays better, and move out. Then you can call all the shots. Until then, you are dependent on others for living, and must live by their rules if you want to live with them.

If you can pay, then you can play! Otherwise, you live under other people's rules because they are the one that is paying the bills.

Answer 7

I would put in a good effort to find a new job. Share your progress with your parents and see if they'll let you set a deadline. As long as you are looking hard, maybe they'll let you quit your job in a few weeks even without a new one.

Answer 8

If you think you can do well on your own... leave your mean parents... leave cause all they want is to see you suffering in a job as hard and as horrible as you have...

All kidding aside... I think it's wise to HAVE a job already before you quit the one you have... it's just common sense... or did that job took away common sense from you too?

Answer 9

You have Tuesdays and Thursdays to find another job, then quit.

Answer 10

Your parents are just trying to teach you to be responsible. When you get older, you will understand that it is never good practice to quit one job before you get another.
