I had a job I loved but because I couldn’t handle my supervisors bad attitude that was also bad for me I quit after 11 months putting up with him. Every month he’d have one of his times of the month it seemed I did everything I could as part of my job sometimes even went above, every time he’d have one of these moments he’d either start cursing or blame me for things I didn’t do, cause me to leave his office because he’d start arguing with me. It got to the point we’re i couldn’t see his face anymore because of his bad attitude, I’ve been the second assistant that has left the position because of him. It sucks because I loved what I did and there wasn’t anyone else that could be my supervisor so I left my job thinking I’d find something quick. It’s now the second month without any luck & I am becoming desperate and stressed I don’t know if I should just stop looking or what. I don’t want to loose my skills in what I know the feeling just sucks!

I've never used this but I guess its worth a shot... I walked out of my job about a month ago due to emotional harassment from my manager. They knew it was coming and I still have good references. However I've been in the kitchen for the last five years and have a degree in pastry arts. Due to recent events the last couple years I just wanna take a step back and do something different but I still need to make enough to cover living cost, about 12 an hour. I'm looking for a part time position but it's been difficult to get my foot in the door anywhere that's not a kitchen. Just looking for advice I guess or any opportunities you may know of! Thanks in advance!

I have been working at a place for 2 years, last summer they made me floor manager. As the year ended, they talked to someone about being me protoge, so to speak. But since they started training him in January, I have been stuck in the area I worked before. Plus they started ignoring my requests, especially when it pertains to what needed to be done and wrote me up when the job did not get done. I was disciplined for not doing things their way as well, so when we got behind, it became solely my fault in their eyes despite the fact that the area I'm in is ahead. The job has largely been taken over by the new guy. Won't admit that I have been effectively demoted.

Recently, things have been occurring. I always put family first, me second, job last, so I requested time off to attend a family funeral. It was approved. I also had to attend to visitation, which was the day before which means no overtime. This was approved, then denied last minute with my boss saying the job is more important. They even had the guy they effectively replaced me with babysit me to ensure I did not leave

My mom is in the middle of a cancer scare, and I can't be doing overtime due to a desire to spend more time with her. Well, they did a mandatory 14 hour shift, which I left at 8 hrs for the above reason. My boss said I was being selfish and need to realize that my job comes first. Then said that people aren't doing their part to get production ahead, insinuating that I am being lazy. Then demanded me for 12 hrs on Saturday and Sunday.

I am ready to quit, I was always taught that family comes first no matter what. I forgot that in my 20s, worked them away as a workaholic, and in my 30s have nothing to show for it.

I would love anyone’s thoughts on this topic. The latter part of my resume almost looks like I was job hopping win that is absolutely not the case. I stay at a good employer for as long as possible, and about four years ago I left A wonderful position due to going through a divorce at the time. I felt it more respectful to leave without making mistakes and getting fired and me and this doctor still have a personal relationship to this day. But it is been hard for me to find the best fit over the last few years and I don’t want to appear as if I change jobs often. I am always forthcoming in Why my resume is the way it is but I still like it could be preventing me from good positions I am very qualified for. How can I remedy this? Thank you in advance for any ideas you may have

I resigned from a high paying, salaried position at the end of last year due to job dissatisfaction. Since then, I've been working part time and redirecting my career searches towards positions that will be more personally rewarding. However, the job market in my area is falling short. I've been submitting my resume for positions that I am quilified for, but am having little to no response. I am also applying for entry level positions, and getting more responses...but I'm at a point where if I'm going to be working 40+ hours a week, I want to be working on my career, not just a job. For anyone who's been in the same situation, I pose this: is it better to get a job just to pay the bills and get by, or apply and devote your efforts towards something that will be long term and career oriented???

I have already left the company I work but accepted a new position within the organization I thought it was a good idea for me. When I was with my other colleague who supposed to help me training this new position and also my supervisor. My supervisor told me that he will get with the HR and make this official and there will be a new salary negotiation and other things. He also said that they are looking for another candidate for my previous position so I do not have to do the double duties for long time. Butttt… Now, the situation is really bad. He told me that we are on hiring freeze now and can’t hire anyone for long time so he asked me to do double duties for next 8 months to a year. Also, he said that I cannot go on the trip to Italy (the headquarter) for the training because I cannot be away from the office that long time. And finally, he never called to the HR and made this official. He is shady. Well, I took a huge offense from this situation. I have interviewed and got the job I wanted, and I am leaving again for the second time. Am I a bad person for doing this?

Ugh, I'm already getting mixed feelings about this new job I just got. On the one side I got it on the spot, but also its one of those sale jobs that require me to actually look out for people I know but unfortunately not only do I not know that many people but I also have to ask if they know any one else. Basically I work as a sales person. I actually got two jobs, both of which are work at home positions but I feel I might wanna quit the other this week if I just can't get enough people to set up an appointment. Was going to last this for one month at most but if its gonna be like this all week then I feel like I should quit. What do you think?

Hello, i recently left a job as an Accountant for a company that didn't have the best management. I had expressed concerns to my direct manager about some disrespectful comments that were being made by seniors on our team that were at that point considered harassment. Nothing was done about it, i mentioned it to HR but again nothing was done about it. After this i decided to leave the company, on my current job search all my recruiters are letting me know that they for sure need a reference from this employer, considering that my direct manager was furious i took my concerns to HR he was upset when i left the company, hence i would not want to use him as a reference.

I've worked in the accounting field for about 8 years and all my previous employers have great things to say about me, I'd hate to think that this last experience is going to hinder my future job search, does anyone know how i can get around this "reference" dilemma .

Thank you all !!!

What is the best way to respond, during an interview, why you left your last job and how to be honest and discreetly, even though you left under duress or were fired?

I recently started a new job in my field which is cooking. Well a few week's ago a friend asked if I'd come in and help her out on my day's off because they needed another cook. I worked 1 day and management approaches me & offers me $4.00 more an hour to quit my job. I though about it & had decided that I was going to take it,I mean who could pass up an extra 4.00 an hour? So I gave my notice and explained why I was leaving hoping that they'd offer me more money. Well they didn't,so I gave my 2 week's notice. Now with 3 days left of my 2 week's my boss approached me and offered me $3.00 more an hour. So I've decided that I'm going to stay with them,I really like it where I am even though the new place was more money and 5 minutes from my home. Do you think I made the right choice & how do I tell the other place that I now can't take their offer?!? #adviceplease #foodservice #cook/eggflipper
