I worked for the same company for 4 years never missed a day come in everytime someone called off and I quit because I was tired of the bs and now its been almost 3 weeks and they still haven't paid me my last paycheck talk about a great comany to work for.

I feel like i made a mistake leaving my last job..... Long story short, i was happy being in chicago where i grew up, but my spouse hated it there. I was traveling back and forth on my two days off, and it was getting really irritating. I would leave after work, and drive 3 hours, stay until the next workday, and leave at 3 am so i would make it home to be ready for work. I quit my job which i loved, and now am pretty miserable. I made good money working for a very large self storage company. Now i am stuck in something i hate, and vowed not to ever do for a huge salary decrease. It was all that would hire me, and i have been looking since the day i relocated. I have excellent references, and a decent resume. Property Management, administrative assistant , or leasing agent are my specialty. I am definitely not cut out for ( do you want fries with that!) I hate food. I am also tired of these job sites that send emails saying, hey i saw your job experience as a leasing agent and thought of you with this job! Total click bait, because will click on it, and its for fast food jobs as a manager! Nope. Not a goal for me. If someone likes food, thats great. Its just something i always hated. Sorry, just ranting

Hopefully I get a job soon! In the beginning of this month I quit my job that I was at for almost 8 year's With kids and bills hopefully I land a new one that is drama free and no games that are played by employer.

I quit my job of 12 years last monday, interviewed thursday, and was offered the position on friday. With experience and 2nd MS, sometimes it's just the right time, right place. My best to everyone.

Hi all ! I would just like to say after taking a stand and got out of a job that my boss made everyday a living hell for me . Each day I got up to go to work was such a let down for me. But after I finally had really ask myself do I really have to take this kind of treatment everyday? I realized that no I don’t. It was my own fault that I had let myself be treated like that and I was only person that could change it. Yes I know people are out here everyday looking for a job. And yes I knew if I quit what I was putting myself into . But the thought of getting up everyday and knowing my day was gonna be nothing but misery I knew in my heart I had to stop it. People don’t look at a half of glass of water being half empty. Look at it as being half full. By that I mean look at your life in a positive way. Don’t let the negativity over come the positive things in life! That being said I took my stand and got out of that abusive job. I told myself that I am a good person and I ask god for the strength to help me make a change . And by way don’t ever be afraid of change. Needless to say I made the change and now I’m happy to get up everyday and go to work . I love my present job even tho I’m still a truck driver. I feel good about myself because I beat them and they never took me down and I refuse to ever let things and people take me down. It all starts in you to make the stand and realize life is what we make it and life is full as we want it to be!

I was interviewed and hired for a job in which I have plenty of experience, except the software platform I hadn’t worked in for a long time. I was promised training to get me back up to speed. When I arrived, the person assigned to train me was both bad at training and hostile towards me. I decided I was better off retraining myself from home as I was allowed to work remotely. I took the approach she had described, although it bypassed all critical functioning of a GIS platform. At the same time, I was asked to work on traffic control plans, which I had never done before. I continued to question the workflow and platform for performing this work and made a case for using AutoCAD instead. Also the work was taking far too long to refresh so I reported these issues to IT multiple times. My boss began questioning my productivity right away (although I don’t understand his expectations considering the learning curve and his hands off approach to me). I couldn’t process a plan at the same rate of speed of my counterpart. Now before my first plan was even approved, the entire backlog of traffic control plans (all of which were already past due) was dropped in my lap and they began treating me as the TCP BACKLOG MGR. I was bombarded with emails and phone calls and conflicting priority projects all day, every day. I had to assume that I was a decision maker, coordinator, sole drafter and liaison for the project. Although when I began asserting myself in the role, my boss would reprimand me (out of the blue) for every decision made and every conversation initiated. Keep in mind, this is literally the only time he would converse or consult with me. I wasn’t even introduced to my counterparts. He called me slow and questioned my experience on a regular basis, meanwhile, nothing slowed down except my productivity. His ‘advice’ never panned out in the end. Everything I was reprimanded for, I was also vindicated for in the end. He would catch me off guard and start throwing ‘facts and figures’ about that I could neither deny nor confirm without research after the fact. I would just have to stand there and listen to him embarrass me and later do the research. He was NEVER correct. He accused me of padding my timesheet when in fact I would work through the night and all weekend to try and get a handle on the backlog and only bill for a small percentage of my overtime. I told his boss that I was working off the clock and he just said he didn’t want to know about it as the labor board would not approve. He refused to defend me or question my boss. After researching his accusations, it seemed like water under the bridge and a battle I didn’t find appropriate to rehash so most of his fake reprimands went unchallenged (he put nothing in writing, so plausible deniability was on his side anyway). I worked my ass off and the pile of work would just keep growing underneath me. My coworker made it clear through hostile expressions, silence and body language that she would not be a resource to me. Although, she was the only other person who had experience in my work process and in fact, invented it. My boss, pleaded complete ignorance of my project, was apparently unqualified to review or approve my work, but his name appeared on every plan as the Engineer of account. His boss did exactly the same thing. Don’t ask me questions, I know nothing about traffic control. No wonder he underbid the work by a mile. He continued to be the face and authority for accepting and bidding work and never asked for input from the people in the trenches. I had two field engineers feeding me data in completely different formats and one of them didn’t even have access to our company network or software. No one told me of this anomaly which caused a whole other set of problems.

After several confrontations from my boss, each tying my hands , restricting my authority and binding my decision-making in ways that didn’t even make sense, I became less productive as time went on. Ultimately, my boss reported me to HR and gave me a corrective action plan that was completely made up. I attempted to qdispute his accusations in that meeting (which I was also blindsided by), to no avail. He had a hostile retort for everything. I signed it and went back to work. Now I would track my productivity, which was bad for him. When I exceeded his stated expectations, he would call his benchmarks entry level and symbolic of underachievement. After two weeks of exceeding these, he assigned me to take over my coworkers TCP work in addition to the backlog project, which was still underwater. Her TCPs would have a 2 day turnaround instead of the normal 5 day turnaround, but they were not to take priority over my 5 day projects?! Riiiiight.

At about this time, corporate GIS department had been recruited by IT to find out what was going on with my computer. As soon as I had Emily on the phone, she asked me my opinion of the group under which I was assigned. I gave her a nutshell of my frustration and predicament. She asked because she had spent several weeks training my coworker and setting up the workflow for the department with permissions to acces client data only to be snubbed and dismissed by my boss. Her efforts were completely discarded by my boss and my coworker tasked with developing the workflow herself. This is what I had been ‘trained’ to use, against corporate advice. She further informed me that my boss declined my onboard GIS training. My boss repeatedly told me that my coworker had received no training or support of any kind since she had started working there (as part of comparing our productivity and competence in general. Kelly being the star of the show and I the soon to be replaced understudy). Once Emily took remote control of my computer, she immediately discovered I I was working in a dummy version of GIS with no access to the network where everyone else was working. I don’t know how many times I questioned this.

She sent an email to my management chain asking them to cease and desist in applying current production standards as my system was incapable of meeting them currently. I pounced on my boses boss and told him to reassign Kelly’s work back to her in light of the confirmed adverse conditions I was under. He refused to acknowledge that anything had changed and denied my request. No consideration for lifting the corrective action plan either. I refused to take no for his answer and involved HR. He thereafter relented but called a meeting with himself, my boss and me. I would be the subject. They were inviting me into the lions den to gang up on me! The meeting was set for 830, the time I arrived to work that day. Under normal circumstance, when working at the office, this would be considered a late start time, although not a spoken rule. I arrived to a locked office door, for which I had no key. I knocked on the door and waited. Meanwhile, my boss calls my phone to reprimand me for being “late”! I asked him to open the door and he kept talking. I finally asked in exasperation if I should just leave. He cane to open the door, I thanked him and headed to my desk. No sooner did I sit down than he called me into his office to reprimand me for giving him attitude. Reminding me that I was already on his radar and under HR probation. To which I countered, “John, I just can’t work for you anymore.” He started grasping at me metaphorically and by calling HR to report the ‘incident’ trying to commnicate that I was somehow under his custody and not free to leave of my own accord or make decisions for myself. I turned and walked over to my desk, cleaned it out and left the building.

Is there a lawyer in the house? What would you do if you were me? Thanks, guys!

When Should You Quit Your Job

Sometimes the decision to look for a new employer and actively put yourself on the job market is a complicated one that includes a lot of hand-wringing, second-guessing, and hesitation. And then other times, the answer is crystal clear: it’s time to find a new job… yesterday. Staying too long in a toxic workplace or in a job that simply makes you unhappy can have long-lasting negative effects, and studies now show that staying in a job that you hate can literally make you sick.

Quitting your job can be terrifying, but if you are in one or more of these situations, it might be time to quit:

1. You Dread Going To Work Every Day

Sunday afternoon and anxiety starts to set in. You can hardly enjoy what’s left of the weekend because you know where you’ll be headed the next morning: work. If you dread showing up to your job and find yourself getting nervous, distracted, or depressed at the start of each workday, it’s time to put yourself out of misery and find something that you can feel good about and doesn’t cause such a disconnect between your personal and professional life.

2. You’ve Stopped Doing Your Job

Maybe you’re letting deadlines slip past you or projects and tasks left uncompleted. You’ve stopped attending meetings or responding to requests or emails. If your performance and productivity levels have taken a sharp dive (and you’re not having a serious personal problem that’s affecting your ability to do your job), you may be so unhappy at work that you simply don’t care anymore. This is a difficult issue to overcome and is likely tied to the way you feel about your employer, your role, or perhaps even your field. You should find something that you’re more motivated about sooner rather than later, because a track record of poor performance will only make it that much more difficult for you to get another job. Time to get out now and salvage your reputation while you still can.

3. Relationships At Work Are Toxic

You're not getting along with your boss, coworkers, colleagues, clients or customers despite your best efforts over a period of time. If the majority of these relationships are toxic, dysfunctional, and even threatening, it’s time to move on. There will always be someone you don’t get along with at your job, sometimes even more than one person. But if you go home every night overly stressed, feeling undervalued, and not being able to enjoy or have a personal life, you need to reevaluate that job.

4. You're Losing Interest

If you’re no longer driven to learn new skills to stay current or even share with others what you do for a career, it’s time to rethink your current job. This produces at least two career-damaging results if left unchecked. First, you decrease your future employment options. If you ever get laid off, you will find yourself qualifying only for ‘legacy’ jobs, and by definition there are fewer and fewer of them around. You’ll also be judged as being not motivated and agile in regards to adapting to new work tools and techniques. It will look like you have no gas left in the proverbial tank. Ask yourself; What motivates me to get up each day and go to work? What have I always wanted to do, but am too afraid to take the leap to do it? Then go do that.

5. There’s Nothing To Look Forward To

Part of being satisfied at work means having goals to look forward to, whether these are personal goals and milestones (like learning a new skill, taking advantage of professional development opportunities, or getting a raise) or goals you accomplish with others or on behalf of your employer (like exceeding a sales quota, landing a big account, or publishing new research results). If you find yourself with absolutely nothing to look forward to, get excited about, or work towards, then you’re just spinning your wheels and likely going nowhere in a professional rut. It’s hard to stay motivated, happy, and productive under these circumstances.

6. You Feel Hopeless Or Stuck

As we age and gain more experience, people are naturally inclined to grow, evolve, and change over time, both in our personal and professional lives. If you’ve lost the opportunity to grow at work, it won’t take long to be overwhelmed by a sense of hopelessness or feeling that you’re stuck in one place. Good employers should offer a clear roadmap for professional growth. Or, at the very least, should support you in your own pursuits of growth and advancement. If you have no sense of hope that tomorrow may be a better day or that you may get the support and resources you need to grow as a professional, then you should probably look for an employer with a better company culture and that has a good approach to professional development.

7. You’re Escaping

Low levels of job satisfaction can manifest in some pretty unhealthy ways, both physically and mentally, if you linger too long in a toxic workplace. Only you know the toll that your job has taken on you physically, emotionally, or mentally, but if you find yourself developing some negative habits to “escape” the unhappiness you’re experiencing at work, it’s time to take action immediately. No job is worth sacrificing your health.

8. The Company Has High Turnover

Employees tend to stay in jobs when they like their work environment. More than half of the respondents to a recent survey said their top reason that keeps them from quitting their job is the loyalty they feel to their team, boss, coworkers, or their company.

A good boss, work-life balance, and consistency helps you stay put. But if these components are not present, most people will jump ship. If you see your respected colleagues leaving right and left, know the issues are most likely systemic. This is a signal that it is time to find a new ship that is sailing in the right direction.

9. Your Role Is Becoming Less Important

If things are changing and your group or function is becoming marginalized, it’s time to go. You may be able to hold on to your job, but you are not likely to have the ear of top leadership. Different companies value different functions and skills. If yours is not valued, then first do your best to sell it to leadership. If it just isn’t happening, then move on to a place where your skills are appreciated and utilized.

10. Your Family And Friends Are Begging You To Quit

Similarly, if you’re that unhappy at work, chances are the people closest to you will have noticed it in a big way. You can’t be that miserable in such an important aspect of your life, your job and not have those feelings or worries affect your personal life. If family or friends are consistently telling you it’s time to get a new job, you should probably take their advice. They have an outside perspective on just how unhealthy or detrimental a miserable job can make you, and if they’re begging you to quit, it’s because they’re seeing you suffer.

11. You Know You’re Going To Be Fired

If, for whatever reason, your termination is imminent, be the first to get out. Quitting before you’re fired or being let go (which may not be directly related to your performance – companies make necessary cutbacks for all sorts of reasons, even when individual employees are doing great work) puts you in the driver’s seat on the job market. It’s much easier to explain to a potential new employer in the interview why you left a position rather than why you were fired. Think ahead and plan for your future job search here.

12. You’re Deeply Unhappy At Work

This is a no-brainer, but it’s surprising how many people stick it out at work even when they’re unhappy every day. For some, they may feel they have no other choice, while others may assume that work isn’t supposed to be fun or enjoyable. You may find yourself lingering way too long in a dead-end position instead of finding a better opportunity that brings more joy and peace of mind. Or, at the very least, doesn’t make you miserable.

Final Thought To Consider Before Quitting Your Job

It is important to remember that you should try to find yourself a new job before quitting your current one when at all possible. Leaving a job that you don't like without a new job lined up will create a new set of stresses that can make your life miserable. You want to avoid unemployment and the struggles and challenges of job searching without steady income from a paycheck because it puts you in a desperate state of mind. In such a position, you may not make the best decision on a job offer and that will no doubt put you back in that same situation of working in a job that you're not happy with. Your aim after all, is to leave a job that you're unhappy with for one that will make you happy and fulfilled professionally. With smart and proper planning, there is no reason why your next job couldn't be the best one that you have ever had.

So I have two jobs that I’ve been going into for interviews for the past couple weeks bc I’ve been out of a job for a while and these two places both seem interested in me, but what do I do if they both want to hire me at the same time. After all the time do I just let one of them down? What if the better paying one calls after to offer me a job? Is it ok to accept a job and then quit right after bc of the time crunch?
