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 job after one month?
You shouldn't let your manager know you're looking for a new job. You need to give the boss a dated, written letter of resignation (and a copy to HR) whenever you quit a job. You should wait until you have another job before resigning. If you believe your studies will suffer, then you may have no choice but to resign before getting another job. Whenever you resign a job, you should request a dated, written letter of reference from the boss (more than 1 boss whenever possible). If you don't believe the boss will give you a good reference, then ask coworkers if they will reference you and get their contact information ~ but only do this After you've secured another job, if that's the route you take. When you do your resignation letter, you should say nice things about your time working there and the boss and people you work with, and why you're resigning ~ along with what date will be your final working day there. If you've found another job, just say you're resigning for another job opportunity (not a better opportunity). **If you think the boss may work with you, you might consider talking to him/her about your summer classes and the schedule conflict ~ and what hours/days you could work. I wouldn't do that before lining up another job though. They may get worried you're going to quit without notice, and just let you go. good luck.
Should I feel bad for quitting a job after a month because I don't like it?
The fact that you are asking the question shows that you are a caring and responsible person, and that you did not enter that situation frivolously. It seems to me that you are dealing with a case of divided loyalties; loyalties to your employer and loyalty to your true self. It sounds like you took on a job you knew you could do, and did your best at it, but it just got harder and harder to go to work each day, and the trade off of your ability and loyalty for the monetary compensation could not overcome the fact that you just are not happy there. You feel guilty for not being loyal to your employer and personally dissatisfied because you are not being true to your inner self.So no, do not feel bad about quitting a job because you do not like it. You have discovered something about how you fit in the world. That is a good thing. And it is better to disappoint an employer (who will find a replacement for you) than to spend years of your lifetime disappointing your self on a gut level.To avoid a cycle of optimistically taking on a job only to find out later it is not right for you (as I have done), I recommend a short cut to job contentment. Find out who YOU truly are first. What really motivates and satisfies you as a person. Then seek out how to earn a living at it. One good example is Cesar Millan, the “Dog Whisperer”.I have used a book by Tieger& Tieger, called “Do What You Are”. It has helped a lot in getting me to where I am far more happy making my living now than ever before. And I am on a path to even more happiness as I develop who I truly am.I truly hope this helps!
Quitting a part-time job just after 2 months?
I work in retail as a Sales Associate for the extra summer $$. I'm also a full-time college student with a work-study job on campus (which works WAY better for my schedule). I just landed a paid internship position, which will actually benefit my intended career. Now, I need to go about quitting my job in a professional manner. Do I just straight up tell my manager that I've landed a paid internship position and need to quit my current job? I want to make sure to leave on good terms. Also, is it worth putting a 2-month part-time job on my resume? Thanks.
Quitting paxil cold turkey after 2 months of use?
Ok, So ive been taking Paxil (10mg) since July 2008 and it is now September, so roughly 2 months i've been on this drug.

Will stopping 10mg of Paxil, cold turkey, after only taking it for 2 months give me symptoms or problems do you think? Has anyone else stopped so soon and had problems? thanks
Is it bad to quit a job after only 1 month?
I work at walgreeens Basically the management is ****. They actually reassigned and gave away my locker to some new girl, i came in and her crap was in MY locker, that i have MY OWN CODE for. I told them when i was available, and they scheduled me for times when i was unavailable, and expected me to find my own subs (not easy to do) I am 17 and in high school, at a very challenging elite private school, my parents only want me to work 8 hours a week, and i just dont think thats an option for their scheduling, like i think they need me to work more hours So my parents want me to quit. Ive literally worked there 6 weeks, i feel like this is going to look bad to future employers. Advice?
Is it wrong to quit your job after only 2 months?
Hey Boba, I'm assuming you're a teen or don't necessarily need the money for survival. That being said, there will always be fast food jobs. I quit a fast food job once after working there a month cause i couldn't handle it any longer and didn't have a "backup" plan, but then again, I didn't need the money. Because I spent such a short time working there, I never listed it on my resume as I had other things to put in the employment spot or I simply was young and they expected that I didn't have many jobs. I put a two weeks notice in writing and gave it to my manager and verbally told him "this is my two weeks notice" as I handed it over. That's a lot better than some people I know, people who simply just don't show up the next day. That way, you both know when your last check is coming and you did the right thing by giving notice. Managers know there is a lot of turover in the fast food industry. Just be polite and respectful and do it quickly (like a band aid) when you tell the manager and you'll feel a lot better. If you decide to change your mind, you can always tell the manger to rip up the notice if you had a sudden change of mind.
Should I quit my job after only 6 months?
You can quit if you want to without any repercussions for future jobs. Why? Because when you interview for the new job, all you have to do is answer a question: Why did you quit that job in six months? If you have a good answer, you are fine. An example of a good answer is: “I decided that my daily and weekly routine did not fit with my long-term aspirations. Specifically, I wanted to be a psychiatrist and I was being a cashier. I decided that I would rather take the pain of making less money now, if I could gain in learning. So I shifted my focus from working to volunteering at a hospital.” That said. Suddenly instead of looking down on your six months, the perspective employer will appreciate you for making that choice. You will look like someone who is willing to pay short term costs for long-term gains.But the problem isn’t so much about working six months. It is more about your neurotic nature. If you want to quit, it is simple. Go to a hospital. Ask if they need volunteers in their psych ward. If so, do it. If not, go to another hospital and keep asking until you find it. Then, quit your job and become a volunteer. Done.Alternatively, you can ask yourself: what can I do to help my long-term goals of becoming an excellent psychologist at this current job as a cashier? There is lots you can do. You can spend time doing psych experiments at work. For example, why are they calling YOU to pick up extra shifts? Why not someone else? How can you get the manager to reduce your hours - and make it look like his idea?Do you get it? If you want to be a psychiatrist, the whole freaking world is your lab! You just need to set up experiments and see the results. you can do that ANYWHERE. If you think this way and plan an experiment (some long-term, some short-term) every day, do you think you will learn more psychology as a cashier or as a volunteer at a hospital? All I am saying is that it is not the job. It is you. You can squeeze more out of this job if you want to.Finally, your objective of going to the University is admirable. But, is it really suffering? I suggest you just go to a university and ask them what their criteria is for you to get in. Are you meeting that criteria? If so, stop stressing and keep moving forward. If not, make some adjustments (including reducing your hours) and move forward. Either way, I highly recommend you talk with someone about your anxiety. It is not healthy for you.
I just smoked a cigarette after 4 months of quitting it and I feel horrifically guilty. What should I do?
Be Gentle with Yourself. Recovery from an addiction is a process. Each addiction serves its purpose to teach you something and was an action you needed at the time to get cope within the resources available to you. Congratulations on wanting to change and find a more healthy coping mechanism. You are not perfect and shouldn't beat yourself up for not being perfect. Guilt can be motivational and inspiring to make change. Yet when this shifts to rumination that is when it starts to get unhealthy and you need to move one. Use the guilt and painful feelings to motivate you to abstain from smoking in the future. Past is gone and change starts again..now.--Learn from the experience. Realize the Triggers that got you to smoke this time around and do your best to avoid them in the future. Was it your environment, the people you were around or a particularly hard day at work. --Visualize and Find the Deeper Meaning. Visualize how you would feel quitting this bad habit and really grasp the deeper meanings of why you don't want to smoke. Is it to be there for your loved ones? Set a good example for others around you? etc. Really get to the deeper more meaningful reasons of why you want to stop this bad habit so that you can put real emotion behind your motivation to quit. -Strategize new copings. When you are feeling stressed what else can you do to feel better. Take a bath, yoga, walk your dog or call a friend. Make a list. And Most Importantly Forgive Yourself and Move ForwardUse this uncomfortable feeling to propel you forward and motivate you to make it to 5 months, then a year, and then the rest of your life without smoking. You are not perfect nor do you have to be. Bad habits are hard to break, yet the desire to change is the greater battle and pat yourself on the back for making it that far. Congratulate yourself to making it to 4 months. Some people never make it this far. You are Strong. You can do this.
Is it okay to quit a job after a month?
Sooner or later I presume that you will quit this company as it doesn't meet your expectations. The earlier you cut your losses the better. As a HR head for many years, and being on the other side of the table, I have always budgeted a reasonable attrition from new comers. Go chase your dream. Let it not bother you. It is ok to quit now rather than later. All the best!
