Quitting a job after 1 month?
I am only a high schooler, and this is my first job that I absolutely despise. I get sick going and cry almost every day about it. Still, I am generally I good person and I feel bad quitting after only 3wks/1mo. I have no idea how to go about this, it is only a job in food. My boss scheduled me for 23 hrs next week (only signed up for 15hrs/wk), and I don't know if I can stand working those. Anyone have words of wisdom on quitting? Should I stick out this last week? I feel bad leaving them one man short for 23 hrs. Also, after I quit, is it really awkward finishing up your schedule? any advice/personal stories is super helpful!
Quitting taco bell after one day!?
I recently got hired at taco bell today was my first official day.... and I hate it!! I'm supposed to go in tomorrow at six in the morning I think I'm just gonna call and tell the manager I'm quitting! I really don't care I'm so over this... I was literally 1 second away from crying this morning.. I'm stressed out. Working in fast food is just too fast paced for me and I think I would be better off in retail like walmart or a grocery store.. And I was always told you do something because you like or love it and why work at a place I hate and the smell of tacos all day makes my stomach and it makes me nauseous!
I will be quitting my job for another one in the near future. How can I go about hooking my friend up with the job I am leaving?
It's all about how you present that you are leaving. Make sure you give your boss 2 weeks notice, and when you first let them know about your intention to leave, you can mention that you have a friend who is interested in taking your place.Your employer will probably not like that you're leaving, especially if you're a valued employee, but since you are presenting a solution to the problem, it will soften the blow.You can't guarantee that your friend will get hired, but what you can do is soften the blow of your departure and at least give them a foot in the door. Just stay professional as you're leaving so you don't burn any bridges. If you do it right, your employer will tell you that you are welcome back anytime. I've worked in human resources at Prohr.com for quite a while, and, from an employer's perspective, there is nothing more frustrating than having a valued employee leave without notice. Make it as easy for them as you can.
How do you go about quitting your current job and traveling?
Well, it's upto you how you take it.Firstly, if you have a well paid job, and you like the job then, don't quit. Just go out on a short vacation and relax. Once you come back from a vacation, you will enjoy working (probably).If, you are rich, unhappy with your job, your job doesn't pay you well and you don't enjoy doing it, then this might be an option. You can quit your full time job and travel around and earn money by writing blogs, making videos, etc. There's a lot of ways you can earn money while you travel. Just Google it, you'll get the information.P.S. in order to do this, you need time, money and patience. Look for investors, organizations that allow you to travel with exchange to volunteering service.Cheers;)
What is it that no one tells you about quitting your job and travelling the world?
My wife and I quit our jobs and traveled the world for 1 year. Other than the birth of my children, it was the single most gratifying experience of my life.Before we left, I asked my employer for a 'leave of absence' rather than just quitting. This meant I was effectively unemployed (no pay or benefits) but there was a job waiting for me when I returned. I felt like I did all the right things to ensure a soft landing once we returned back to the States. Unfortunately, September 11th happened while we were in Asia. And soon after, the war and financial crisis. We continued to travel for the next 6 months but when we returned, the economy had imploded. There was no job waiting for me at my old employer and very few opportunities in general.During our trip around the world, we often talked about starting a business that incorporated travel or importing or even opening a small boutique hotel in one of our favorite places. And after a few months of trying to get a job (even one I didn't want), we decided to start our own business importing furniture from Indonesia. Four years later, the economy was doing better, and we sold that business for a nice sum of money. We had started a family by then so I decided to go back to corporate America where I still work today.Disadvantages? None I can think of. I think about that trip every day — and I'm a far better person for the experience. I'm more tolerant, patient, adaptable and happier.Taking a year off is expensive. We traveled cheap and managed a strict budget. We spent about $50k for two people all in. You also can never recoup the money you would have made while working. But keep in mind that most of that money goes to living expenses.What is it that people don't tell you? When you leave a job, there's no guarantee it will be there for you when you get back. I say, who cares. GO FOR IT!!!As my dad has always told me...there is always a job for people who want to work.Safety Third
Can I rejoin my old company again after quitting one month ago? Should I call HR again? Is this a good decision?
Definitely you may! I have seen many these cases during my work earlier! This is not wrong at all.Before approaching your former HR, be sure if you would want to boomerang (revert your decision to move back to your old company) to your previous employer. Let them understand the reason for you being interested in moving back and talk to them about the challenges that you are facing here(in the current job). If the company has real requirement, manager/HR will get back to you with their interests.(P.S - Few companies do not have the policy to take in ex-employees, check with your HR while having this discussion)What I suggest : One month is too early to decide about rejoining the old company, but I am sure that you are taking this decision only after putting down the points realizing that you are unhappy with the current job. Explore opportunities and still if you feel you are not able to make a fit, opt for the right flag. All the best!
How do I go about quitting a babysitting job because their kids stress me out too much, when I almost feel obligated to them?
This family got their first foster child in a year last September - a baby! So I started babysitting for them again. They've never had more than one small child, but now they keep getting others. At the most it's been three kids under 5 yrs olds... their last child (age 3) went back with mom so I only had the 1 year old. I was in heaven. Now she's back again. I am good with kids of all ages - but preschoolers are not my preference whatsoever. If we though older kids into the mix, or if it was only older kids, then I'd take it any day... but I don't know how much longer I can do more than one child under age five while keeping my sanity! They might also be getting a 3 year old with special needs. The bright side is it's only 1x a week I watch these two kids, and I only have till summer... then I'll be nannying five older kids full time. So I guess I can look forward to that. But until then I dread that one day a week. Preschoolers are already not my preferable age group, and when they are also foster kids... I feel like I'm working in a zoo some days and I didn't sight up for that. That doesn't mean I'm not good for them, but I feel like right now I'm just in it for a paycheck and I don't feel right about that. At the same time, I feel obligated to the family. The mom has been my mentor, I've babysat, dog sat, and been friends with their oldest. I also am doing Direct sales on the side, and they've hosted a party for me and want to do another in the future!
Does tar get out of one’s lungs when they quit smoking?
Yes, the benefits of quitting smoking start appearing the day you stop it completely.Many people face the problem of tightness in chest, mild pain and coughing during the first week of quitting.Don't worry.This is a part of your recovery cycle.Your body is removing tar from your body. The cilia in your lungs begin to grow to clean up the lungs.It's normal to have black/dark mucus, pinching pains etc during the first 3 weeks of quitting.In a long term the tar may get completely removed in an year or so. But it depends on how long and how heavy the person smoked before quitting.
