Re: at what point do you quit your job?

honestly, at what point do you say enough is enough and tell everyone to shove it up their asses?

i'm tired of putting up with stupidity and taking order with people that are much more moronic then i am

My buddy is in the same position. He got his masters in accounting even though he never wanted to actually be an accountant. He is good at his job but he hates it.

He keeps asking my wife if she knows of any single lawyers.

Fuck you ain't never going to find a job working at the one you have now. Quit your job, it will put the pressure on you to find another job.

Get fired so you can collect unemployment.

Seriously, I'm in the camp where I would quit if I job was really causing me to be that miserable. I'd much rather bartend or do something menial that continue to work at a job I loathe, even though it pays more money. Making a lot of money really isn't my top priority. But I'm also in a position to feel that way since I have greater control over my finances - no debt, no kids, etc. So I can literally afford to not make as much money as I am capable of earning. That's not the case for everyone, I'm sure.

What line of work are you in?

shit

i have a college degree, and i'm doing construction/landscaping work

mostly because my high anxiety keeps me from getting a job i'm actually trained and qualified for

so i settle on a job that i hate, that kills my body, and pays me a quarter of what i should be making

See this is why you are a stupid ass gabacho. You need to move somewhere that you are more appreciated, Like somewhere that there are more so called African/Mexican/Asian/Arabian-Americans etc.

You are a place where you are just another white guy. You cant pull the race card, you cant bitch about civil rights, none of that fun stuff non-whites get to do. If you move you might be special and sought after. In HIGH demand.

There's always politics... Why not try a PR firm instead of an ad agency?

It's just a job. I'd quit whenever I was sick of bullshit and or not challenged. I cannot stand being miserable or being bored.

Red doesn't live at home, and has BILLS. Life doesn't work that way.

When he finds a new job, THEN he quits, and not before then.

I'm offended that you are ridiculing the fine post made by my friend, Partial.

Well right, that goes without saying. But I have bills and whatnot to pay too. As a matter of fact I forked over almost 4 grand in cash to the state of Wisconsin for my overpriced tuition over the past several weeks and the bank account is still recovering.

When to quit a job?

That is so easy!

When it starts to interfere with your drinking time!!!

Do you even have a job anymore?

I used to have the same problem. At work, I would want to to things my way, I thought my co workers were lazy, my boss is stupid...etc.. One day I talked to a psychologist about it and he asked me why I was taking all of these things personally. My answer was "I don't know". At that moment I realized that I had the power to not get pissed off at work. Since then I've been much happier at work. Maybe if you ask yourself that same question, it can change your attitude a little or at least buy you some time until you find a new job.

moral of the story: Don't take it personal!

You are one miserable human aren't you? Why don't you make the planet a better place and just put a gun to your head?
Hmmm?

Workers comp while you search for a new job?

Re: at what point do you quit your job?

i think this weekend will be a hardcore job search weekend

Red, I'd stay away from the hardcore side of the industry. It's fun at first, but when you have to reshoot the same scene six times or so in a single day, excitement gives way to pure exhaustion.

I've seen stupid people quit before they had a new job. The last 6 months of last year I HATED and was MISERABLE with my last job, but being married with two little ones kept me going back to put up with the bitch boss I had. It was either get a new job or get fired to collect unemployment. I actually got a better deal. In January I got let go with 3 months pay and full insurance benefits for 3 months, plus I collected unemployment. That allowed me to set myself up as an independent contractor and I now happily go to work.
