I thought I quit a job at walmart, but I was voluntarily termination which sounds worst for a new employer, Right. I was sent papers saying I was voluntarily terminated .I thought what is my new employer going to think, I was fired.So from my understanding that's how Walmart, gets you out of their system faster.I feel bitter towards them. What does anyone think of this? Thanks, Monica

disrespect is one reason the other reason is when you have longevity in a company and you start making more money than some of the managers they all of a sudden find fault in things you do, so they can write you up and have you dismissed. It looks better if you resign than being fired.

I recently quit a job because of all the abuse from my employer. I quit it because I was so tired being made feel like I was useless and worthless . I quit because I finally realized that even a animal shouldn’t be talked to the way I was. But since I quit that job I have moved on and found another job. And I have finally found peace and I don’t have to go to work everyday wondering if I’m gonna get cussed out soon as I walk thru the door. But since I quit I have had people say that I shouldn’t have just up and quit. They say I should have found a job before I just up and quit. But for those who feel I shouldn’t have quit. Well all I have to say is you put yourself in my shoes and listen to all the cussing and shouting everyday and see how long it takes you to start feeling what I was feeling. See how it feels to be called stupid when I had done my very best to do my job and made sure I went far beyond the duties I had. I thank God everyday I wake up and go to my new job that I even make better money and work in an environment of people that respect their fellow employees. I believe god gave me the courage to finally say enough is enough and he gave me the strength to walk away from it. I’m sry if I have stepped on someone’s toes by telling my story . But I’ve found peace and I thank god.

I’m feeling defeated in my current position. I have tried many things to make it work. I’m not one to give up but I think it’s time to move on. When do you know it’s time?

We all get this feeling eventually as we rank up through the process of grinding out a low paying job. Personally i try my best to be happy and i enjoy doing the things i love doing! My past minimum wage job wasn't doing much towards my happinest. So i found another job i love doing, and i had to let Arby's go. Don't be afraid to take risks if your feeling unhappy! You only live once and you got limited time. Why waste it when you could be doing something you love doing!?

1st I'll say good luck, but I too have a WALK-IN-INTERVIEW back in April or May of this year,in fact it was held on Tuesday cause that's when they ALL have them.I also filled out an application 2 weeks before hand,so I thought it was a sure thing.The people there were very nice and they asked me lots of questions about the last job I had and they were very impressed about where I was working & why I left which was due to NO FAULT of my own. it lasted for about 30-40 mins and they done a background check on me,which was cool.I asked them how long until they get an answer-back? She said between 2 days to about a 2-3 weeks.So here it is 4 months later and NO answer and I do see this guy who interviewed me just about every day so it's NOT like he doesn't know my face.I'll also say that it'll all depending on what you have applied for.If it's cashiers,then you MAY get a shot or over night stockers you'll be ok,but anything else will be questionable so just be prepared

How to Leave a Job on Good Terms.

Perhaps you’ve seen one of those videos in which someone who will go down in internet history as “a disgruntled former employee” stands up in front of the entire office, hurls some long-withheld insults at their manager and co-workers, cracks open a beer, and walks out of the room to the tune of their arena rock song of choice. Perhaps you’ve been waiting for the day you, too, could be one of those disgruntled former employees. The fact is that this is no way to leave a job, even if you have some devastating closing lines in mind. Your career will most likely be bigger than just one position, and other potential employers may end up hearing about your bad conduct – or seeing it on YouTube.

1. Be constructive and polite in your exit interview.

Depending on the size of the company, the human resources department may wish to schedule an exit interview with you to find out why you’ve decided to leave. If not, think of the meeting in which you tender your resignation as an exit interview. In either case, you should not take advantage of this conversation to denigrate anyone with whom you’ve worked. You can be honest about why you’re moving on, but your phrasing should be positive, almost as if a job interviewer is asking you the same question. The same applies if you are asked what the company could do better, which often comes up in formal exit interviews.

2. Tie up any loose ends.

It’s unlikely that your replacement will be ready to start working on the Monday right after your last Friday. That means your fellow team members may have to make up for your absence. To make things easier on them, complete as much work on your current projects as you can, and leave instructions for how your team can handle anything you may not be able to finish. You should also let your clients know when your last day will be and who to contact during the transition period. Assure them that they can expect the same level of service from your team that they’ve come to expect from you.

3. Make sure your desk is clean and your files are organized.

This may seem like a little matter, but no office administrator likes having to pack up knick-knacks that an exiting employee has left behind, or wipe coffee stains off their desk. Do them a favor and handle that yourself. Some other clean-up you can do includes setting up new messages on your voice mail and your e-mail auto-reply, in case a client misses your departing e-mail. One of your most important tasks is to organize your computer files and e-mails as simply as possible for the benefit of your replacement. You’ve developed your own system over time, but think of what’s easiest for others to understand.

Keep working hard up until your very last day.

Deep down, you may think it doesn’t matter if you spend your final days on the job slacking off. After all, what are they going to do – fire you? No, they’re not, but they are going to resent you for giving them two weeks’ worth of catching up to do. Worse, eight hours a day on Instagram is eight hours you could have spent serving your clients, and failing to do this may damage their opinion of the company. So, once again, up until the day you clean out your desk, complete as much work on your current projects as you can – if not for the sake of your enjoyment, then for the sake of your reputation.

5. Stay in touch with your former colleagues.

When you leave a job, your co-workers become contacts, and it’s always good to have more of those as your progress in your career. Make sure they know how to get in touch with you at your next office. Send them the occasional “Thought you would enjoy this” e-mail. Go out for lunch or coffee with them every once in a while. Don’t wait until you need their support to reach out to them, or they’ll feel like you only value them for your own benefit.

I come from a generation that if you work hard you will earn a honest pay. After 16 1/2 years of being in the world of cosmetology and traumatic life changing events I decided to go back into the workforce life. Boy was I in for an eye opener! I made the mistake of going to work for a client who I thought was my friend and after 10 months of being her right hand and doing great at my job I was let go, so after 5 months of beating the pavement I found employment at a company that at first I really liked grew to love. Out of nowhere my mother passed away unexpectedly, mind you I only took 10 days off to plan her arrangements and quickly returned back to work. I am the type of person that has to stay busy so I won't wallow in grief or depression. I forgot to mention that the traumatic experience was that my husband and best friend lost his job after 17 years of service was doing a side job as a DJ and while he was working was stabbed 4 times by a patron which almost took his life, subsequently he had to apply for disability and that was a long process. Anyway that was the main reason why I went from being the caboose to the enginer in our household. I'm sorry this is alot but it is my truth. So back to my last employment I did really well and was at the top of my game there then mom passed and even though that happened I still was a top producer and did my job well, so much so that I did over and beyond the call of duty. So when my year of service anniversary date was coming up I asked my direct supervisor when would be my progress review date, after 3 weeks we finally had said review, mind you I got flying marks across the board but only to be offered a .50 raise??!! What?! I was in complete shock and on that day I put in my notice. This job was very stressful but what job isn't? I worked at 6 different locations for them, won the rookie of the year award, worked 9hr days and 8 months of 6 days a week. I could go on and on but I think you get the jist. I also did what I tell my children never do, I quit without having secured new employment. It was hard working for a company that didn't value me as a person and to work under people that don't know what they are doing. It felt like middle school not even high school there. It became clear why there was a high turnover rate. What should of been a clue was after I put in my notice the GM said they never had a review process in order, maybe because no one ever stayed that long. It blows my mind how things are out here in the world now. I have tons of working experience but no college degree. I am staying hopeful but it's hard not to have moments of despair. Please Pray for me and my family as I will have each and everyone of you in mine.

If you ever worked at a job where you feel like crap as if you are not valued, talked down to, under appreciated, humiliated in front of others, overworked and under paid? I think at one point all of us have felt like this or have been in this position. All I can say is that why your original reaction is to quit that may not be the best option especially when you don't have another job lined up. Here are questions you should ask yourself before you quit.

1. Are you quitting for a legitimate reason? Is this a dead end job, are the working conditions intolerable, you should leave but plan your departure. Before you leave, sit down with your supervisor and discuss things you can do to make the job more meaningful and fulfilling for yourself and your employer if possible.
2. Are you quitting your job or quitting your boss? An abusive or overly demanding supervisor can make you miserable, even if you enjoy your work. If you feel like your relationship with your boss is forcing you to leave, there may be actions you can take short of quitting. One step is to try to improve the relationship. If that doesn’t work, you may be able to get transferred to another work group within your company. Another alternative is to talk with a human resources representative about your problems.
3. Do you have a new job lined up?If you haven’t found a new gig to replace the one you’re leaving, the wise move is to make the most of your present situation until you’ve found another job. You can’t be sure how long it will take to line up a new position, and you may have to tap into your savings to make ends meet. If you experience several months of unemployment, you’ll have a work gap on your resume. This will need to be explained when you apply for a new job. Recruiters are wary of people with employment gaps. They’re afraid of hiring someone who will soon tire of their job and move on.
4. Have you talked your decision over with friends and loved ones? Because quitting a job is a big step, it’s always a good idea to talk it over with trusted friends and family members. They can help you decide if you’ll truly be better off leaving. Your friends can provide an objective, outside perspective on the pros and cons of quitting. Your family should have a say since they will be part of any financial changes that result from your decision, especially if you are giving up a secure job for one that might not work out.
5. Are you financially prepared?Always consider how taking a new job will affect your bank account. If you have to relocate, you could end up spending thousands of dollars on moving costs, depending on your new employer’s willingness to lend a hand. You may need to pay to put things in storage or come up with your first and last month’s rent for a new landlord. If you’re a homeowner who is moving to a pricier real estate market, the money you get from selling your present home may not match the price of homes in your new community. 6.Did you get a description of your new job in writing? It’s common to hear stories about people who have accepted new jobs only to find out they aren’t quite what they were cracked up to be. Sometimes the vacation benefits are less than the ones they left behind. Perhaps the health benefits limit them to using an HMO they find to be substandard. Maybe their new job’s title doesn’t accurately reflect their duties. The best way to prevent this from happening is to ask your new employer to put the details of your new job in writing. This should include the pay, the benefits and a detailed description of what you will be doing. If the employer is being open and honest, this shouldn’t be a problem.
6. Will quitting your job affect personal life? Often people develop intricate social networks at work. They may play on a company baseball team, head the company’s annual charity drive or socialize after work with their co-workers. If you’ve become deeply involved with your co-workers, leaving definitely will affect your personal life. It’s true that you can build a new social network at another company, but the relationships you’ve already established are likely to suffer. Make sure that benefits of leaving your old job outweigh the things you’ll need to give up.
