I really can't go back to that place. I get extremely close to just up and leaving every day that I'm there, usually within the first two hours of arriving. Yesterday I barely made it half an hour. Fuck the company and fuck the management.

I also have a bartending job where I make way more money in way less time, and while I was hoping to keep working both jobs to save up some money, that is by no means worth what I am doing to my body and overall quality of life.

But I am a good little late capitalist peasant, and even as I write this I start to feel bad for the company and for the management that I despise so much. I just want it to be over, but I don't know how to get out.

All this is to say that I'm about to just stop showing up, and I could use some help quashing the toxic guilt that is welling up inside me. Fuck this job.

It's done. Boss texted me when I didn't show up, and I responded by telling him I'm quitting

      You're right. I made some friends but they get it

        I mean if they're true friends they'll stand by your decision. But above that it's about you. If the job is making you miserable, put yourself first and get out of there.

          Ironically one of them basically said just that to me yesterday

            Well there you go! Just get out of there, up to you how you want to do it, ghost 'em, tell 'em you quit, or do a 2 weeks notice.

              That's mostly what I'm struggling with at this point. I don't want to do a notice. I'm pretty vocal about quitting there so my immediate coworkers will know what's up if I ghost, then when management calls I'll probably answer and formally terminate my employment.

    Sounds like you don’t need the money, so quit.

    Put in your two weeks, show up, and don’t do jack shit.

      Unfortunately two weeks wouldn't afford me the possibility to dick around, as management would continue to give us nearly unreachable orders to complete, meaning my coworkers would have to pick up the slack.

      I also don't really need the reference (won't even have a gap in work history) and I'm leaning towards just quitting without notice

    Lol if you are a coward to quit like me, juat start attempting to unionize your coworkers. You either get fired(not having to quit) or end up with a good union job(not needing to quit)

        ? Working class trumpers are onpy like 50/50 anti union. Most of them juzt were never taught about unions at all(like not even having the anti union prppaganda yet. )Framing it as fighting againdt ypur elite boss and being paid what your worth works just fine.

        Also if you get fired for attempting to unionize do you get unemplpyment?

          Oh yeah, it's not the run of the mill Trump supporters I worry about. It's the cranks, of which there are many lol. This girl in my dept would literally have Sargon on while working

    Quit, comrade. It's impossible to have an actual personal relationship with a business entity. Don't view it as such. I know they make us feel it is one, but it isn't. It's always just one way. If they thought they could get better by dumping you they would in a heartbeat. Return the favour. Resign.

      I'm relating to that right now, and I haven't even worked there for six months.

      The thought of quitting every day helped me get through the last few weeks, but just entertaining the idea is no longer enough, I have to up my dose to really quitting lol

      Now I will have the time and energy to do stuff again! I feel less numb than I have in, well, about 6 months

          I loved it! Jack's best buy story really resonated with me! And so did the podcast itself, the way it both sincerely and ironically approached the topic of self care was fun and good
