Title: Who Quit
Post by: P.C. on Mar 25 07 08:10
Who has ever quit a job......and why ?    
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: purelife on Mar 25 07 08:13
I had to quit two jobs that I could remember.  One as a bookkeeper and the other was a sales associate for a jewelry store.  That was when I was about 18ish.  It was due to personal reasons.
 
 How 'bout you, Ms PC?

I quit a job managing a pub because my paycheques were bouncing and the owners were psycho.

Good topic!!

I worked at a veterinarian's office and quit after having to hold a cat and watch it die after he had given it a lethal injection. I would seriously rather clean toilets with my mouth than do that again.

No....I've never quit a job before. (Nor have I ever been fired....except for once......sort of.  I was just not asked back in a seasonal job, but the managers who made that decision were canned, so I consider that as not counting....lol)

  Hubby has spent the last 4 hours convincing me to quit my job (with good reason....not because he's bossy)  I'm so torn, I don't know what to do.[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c020.gif" border=0]

Oh tenkani.....that IS awful.  

  That reminds me of a story my mom used to tell me about my dad.  He  got fired from a job at the local pound.  Apparently dad dodged every street where he would see a stray dog and was rather 'inaffective' at his job.  Mom was mad at him for losing the job, but understood he was an extreme animal lover and was simply in the wrong job.  ( this was many many many years ago)

Title: Re: Who Quit

Things there have become unbearable Lil Me.  I've chatted with a few people about this mess and this is the first time I'm putting it 'out there' because it's taken me a few weeks to come to terms with what's going on there.   It's a job I really love, but the direction it's taken with the new manager is VERY VERY apparent that he doesn't want women there. (and I'm being very kind in that assessment)  
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: P.C. on Mar 25 07 08:30
Holy....I'm amazed what simply putting this out there has done.  I've been fighting the tears all day which has turned my stomach into a knot.....but hearing your comments has allowed me to let er rip.

P.C. - quit. You're better than the environment that your workplace has become. You were looking for a job when you found that one.

They changed.

You didn't.

  There are healthy environments out there. You have the right to choose them. If you don't - who does?  
Title: Re: Who Quit

Oh Gawwwd....THANKS Lil Me.  I needed that !!!!!!  
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 25 07 08:32
  Take that back I've quit 2 other jobs before.

When I was 14 I was an umpire at my local baseball diamond. I just gave up and quit. Couldn't take the abuse from abusive fathers yelling at me from the stands that I was drunk or blind.  Then I almost ejected a manager at 6 year old machine slow pitch baseball game over a call. He started yelling at me and saying crap. 6 YEAR OLDS!!!! WTF! Everybody got to bat, the games didn't mean anything, why get so bitchy! ugh!!!

Then the other time I quit was a caddie at a posh golf course. I didn't even make through orientation after I got the job. Me being a caddie to rich people just doesn't sit well with me.  I learned to play the game by walking and carrying the bag by myself, not to have some kid do it for me.

There there PC... I feel for you... :)  Your happiness is first and foremost at a job...  When you leave, something better always comes around, always. :)  I know how it feels to be alienated and to feel "not wanted" at a job...it's better for your heart and soul that you don't work there.  Another job will appreciate you more than your current one. :))

  Thanks weird al.  I know your take on this and you're so right (so is hubby....yer of like mind)  I know what this is doing to him by staying.

  *actually I wasn't looking for a job when I found this one.....they actually asked me back....go figure.  That was 2 new managers ago.

 
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: mr pomegranate on Mar 25 07 08:38
I've been self employed in various ventures my whole life, so quitting was more a matter of throwing in the towel when a business became more painful and less profitable than it was worth.

  I ran a printing business for a number of years, and started to really hate it, the squeeze on profit margins, heavy competition for a limited market, working with solvents and inks, accounts receivables growing and becoming a full time job trying to collect.... etc etc etc

  I finally had enough and just shut it down one day, lived like a pauper for months and went on to the next phase of my life... best decision I've ever made :)

  (funny, in the middle of that crisis I also broke up with a long long term girlfriend as well, so it was all a big time of change and upheaval, but looking back I am glad for it, stronger for it, and better off for it)  
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: purelife on Mar 25 07 08:41
Oh wow, Mr P.  Good for you, to take that risk and quit your job.  Sorry to hear about the breakup with your long term companion.  But, I'm glad to hear that everything turned out for the better and you have no regrets. :)))  
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: mr pomegranate on Mar 25 07 08:43
thanks, but yeah, at the time it felt like the world coming down on my shoulders... but time does heal and it is amazing how your perspective on things changes so much after just a short period of time, and even moreso years after!  what seemed insurmountable and like the end of the world at the time seems so minor a year or two later :)
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: purelife on Mar 25 07 08:45
I totally agree with you.  Bless you. :))  And when you look back, you can't believe that it happened to you. :)  
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 25 07 08:46
If it makes it easier, you could give reasonable written notice of your leaving (2 weeks).  That's what I did.  Blame it on your health, personal circumstances, planning a trip, whatever.  That way, you're quitting on your own terms and not burning any bridges.  
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: P.C. on Mar 25 07 08:49
Self employment is a toughie Mr Pom.  (nobody to take you seriously when you call in sick)

  I hear you when you say that it was a good move......just takes a while to accept that, when you're about to make that final decision.

  *are you still self employed?

  Point taken Lil Me.  Hubby actually had a resignation letter drawn up for me when I got home.  (again......not because he's domineering....but because I phoned him from work this morning (again)just to hear his voice so I wouldn't cry at work)

  He was emphatic that I need not explain my purpose for leaving (they know) but to give reasonable notice as to fill my postion.
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 25 07 08:55
independent study is a no no for me. I've felt like quitting but then that would be stupid.  
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: mr pomegranate on Mar 25 07 08:55
yes :)

  I am doing ok now too :)

  I don't think I could handle being in a regular job, now, actually... after you have roughed the entrepreneur way most of your life it becomes difficult to do anything else...

  one important skill that is required is to be able to live under the stress of uncertain financial outlook at times.... there is no security in jumping in to this life path, but there are alot of plusses for those that are up to it

  ---

  and PC, what I said is true, what seems so stressful and insurmountable now will have a way of working itself out and you will be looking back someday soon with a smile on your face :)      
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 25 07 08:56
 Mr P.C. sounds very supportive.  And helpful.  
 
 Sometimes we do need men to just listen and not "problem solve", though.  I've told Mr LM over the years that sometimes he just needs to be quiet and make "uh huh" noises.
 
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: P.C. on Mar 25 07 09:00
Thanks Mr Pom.  I KNOW that, but there are so many other circumstances in play here.  I love the job.....I love the people I deal with on a daily basis.  I like everything about it except for the toxic atmosphere the new manager (and all his buddies he's hired) are creating.

  I have actually worked for myself for many years.  That has it's own stresses for sure....but at least when you analyze them.....they are usually a wake up call to correct something in yourself.  (my biggest issue was structuring my own time)
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: P.C. on Mar 25 07 09:06
Again Lil Me.  SO true. Some men think they need to fix every problem we present, when sometimes all we need is an ear and some support.

I think this has gone beyond that and he is doing his level best to not be pushy....but emphatic, that it's not a healthy place to be.  And he's right.

  *and I'm a big chicken and he knows that too.  He was just trying to ensure that if it was just about a lost paycheque.....to not let that factor into my decision.  Bless his cotton socks......that does take a lot of pressure off.

When I was about to quit the pub job, I spent all night on the phone talking to my friend's roommate.  Friend wasn't home, so I spilled my guts to the roommate- and she convinced me to quit.
 
 Saaaay.  You don't have an Uncle Vinnie, do you?  That would make things easier- Uncle gives the azzhats an offer they can't refuse, they pack up and leave, and you keep your job!!!
 
   
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: P.C. on Mar 25 07 09:23
LOL Lil Me.  I've had a lot of offers....believe me.  

  I'm surprised that I DO feel so much better.  I have my letter of resignation  ready for tomorrow.

 I have quit many, many jobs and have rarely, if ever, looked back. I see it as part of my career evolution. Plus, no one needs to work in an unsatisfactory atmosphere any more. Your life is more important than that. I know its hard for people who are lifers in certain jobs, my mom was at a company for about 15 years (!) which is amazing to me, and shocking...it was very hard for her to leave but the stress wasnt worth it. Unfortunately, until i find another line of work I just keep leaving jobs because I get so bored...I would love to have a job i enjoy. I have also had my own biz and will probably do that again, there is nothing like being self employed. Yup.  
Title: Re: Who Quit

Good perspective seeker.  I know that's the key....to find a job that you enjoy doing.  (that's where my stumbling block comes in.....I DO enjoy this one)

  So are you self employed at the moment?
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: weird al on Mar 25 07 09:56
I think the best resignation letters are short and to the point. Here's a good one to keep handy:

  "Dear" "sir":

  This is to inform you that I am hereby giving two weeks' notice, retroactive to two weeks ago. Eat shit you f*ckers!

  Thank you.

No, I am back in a holding pattern for now at a full time job. My current job is serving the purpose of paying off some bills..I am preparing to move to the island. I am definitely planning to become self employed again in the future though. Great fun! Anyway, good luck with your resignation, I know, its always hard in some way even if you need to leave...

The Island is great....especially if you're into anything in the artistic world.  It's lacking in some of the 'night life' activities, but has many other things to offer to those looking for something other than that.

  Best of luck in finding what you're looking for.
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: seeker on Mar 25 07 10:39
Thanks! Yes, my husband and I are both quite creative so we hope to put our heads together and start a biz again soon using all the skills we have both gathered in our respective jobs over the years (none of it is ever a waste)! We arent really nightlife people and look forward to Island living!

 So I take it this was the REAL reason why you've been UNCHARACTERISTICALLY trollish in my threads in the past few days, pissing and moaning all the time, threadjacking big time and making all sorts of unfounded allegations?



Bad girl...



You should've created this thread sooner. I was about to shit on you big time for being such a nag.



As it turns out, something has been bothering you...



But unlike you, if I write here I'll be making ON TOPIC comments and not necessarily criticize your choice of subject matter:





I've been in an environment opposite to yours. All female staff.



This was never openly expressed but you could feel that men were unwelcome there.



You could also feel how 1-2 particular individuals were intensifying the toxic atmosphere with their attitudes.



I never got to work there full time, and looking back I feel that was the best thing that could've happened.



If you're feeling unwelcome, and if your perception is correct, either you can choose to prove that you're being discriminated based on your gender (uphill battle, but could be financially rewarding in the end), or just move on and find an environment where you'll be more welcome.

Of the 2 threads that I believe you are referring to (a combination of 11 pages) I made 5 or 6 posts....all are within topic.....not necessarily in agreement with you...but within topic none the less.  You  feel that way because you are assuming all the anonymous posts are mine.  (all sorts of unfounded allegations ???  You've totally lost me there, but that's ok. I think I'm fine to leave it that way)

    Anyways....back on topic.  I printed up my resignation letter this morning !!!!  I already feel a heap has been lifted off my shoulders.  Now all I need to do is make sure I've got the guts to plop it on his desk today.  This is a good day to do it, as it's 'meeting day'.

Thanks for the assistance with the resignation letter weird al....lol.....With a few minor tweeks, it was perfect........and for everybody's helpful stories.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I couldn't help notice a big steaming heap of Raging Poodle in the roadway. Don't step in this stuff, its worse than dogshit. So Raging Poodle was going to give P.C. shit for being a nag?

 If anybody can give shit, it's the boy Raging Poodle. He's got a lot to spare because he's so full of it.

Not surprising, if Moo was one of the "men"

  You could also feel how 1-2 particular individuals were intensifying the toxic atmosphere with their attitudes.



Any guesses as to who the "1-2" toxic individuals might have been?

don't quit though until you have another job lined up. Tried to keep telling this to my friend and he actually listened to me and then thanked me for saying that because he was looking for a new job for 2 months.  That would have been 2 months of being un-employed, if he just got up and quit first.

Heya PC. Wow. One day of not logging on as often and I'm already missing out on all the action. Congratulations, girl. It does feel good to be rid of a place that does not appreciate you for your talents. I'm sure there will be some other place that will be more than willing to hire you. *hugs!*(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Love/1.gif)

  As to your original question, I've quit on many dentists, many times. Some were just plain horrible to me and others..... well, their methods and policies did not match with me. What they do to the public was something I could never do. I would never put a patient in that chair knowing that they dentist "cut" corners. e.g. "sterilizing" things that are meant to be used once than thrown out.

Thanks Lise.

  That would be impossible to work for someone with those kinds of ethics Lise.  Good on you for sticking to yours.  It really helps to have the luxury of finding a job that's a perfect fit.  Dentistry is such up close and personal work......associating yourself with someone who doesn't take that with the ultimate seriousness wouldn't work for most, but I'm sure there are obviously people out there for whom it's just a paycheque.

I know exactly how you feel. Some dentists that I work with, they just treat you like a servant or slave. Like they don't care about your feelings or the fact that you're a human being with feelings.

  I say, good for you, Ms. PC. Now your workplace will know how it feels like to lose a valuble member of their workforce. Good luck to them trying to find a replacement for you.

  Perhaps they will come back and offer you more money and better working environment when they can't find someone else.
Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: P.C. on Mar 26 07 05:06
I don't think more money would interest me in the least and the only way to a better work environment would be to get rid of the jackasses that are making it stink.

  This isn't something that was 'in the air'.  It wasn't an uncomfortable 'feeling' that they wanted the women out of there....they openly said 'WOMEN DON'T BELONG HERE' and have referred to us (the only 2 gals) as the 2 c*nts in the 'workplace'.  Nice.  This was within his first week on the job.  I guess you can say stuff like that when the boss is your buddy.  It's sickening.   I left work everyday feeling sick and every morning going in was the same nausiating feeling.  

  Good riddance I say !

The sticky Lunch thread on top of the page is 816 pages long. Why aren't you bitching and moaning about that one also?

  I've also looked at your messages in both threads. They were ALL off topic!

You were doing nothing but constantly whining and criticizing my choice of topic. You weren't contributing to the topic itself, but criticizing WHY I chose that particular topic. Is that what you call ON TOPIC message?



In the next few messages, I'll take the time to respond to each and every one of your allegations.



I'll use FACTS to illustrate my points.

  You started your harrassment/whining routine on March 22, 2007, 06:05:33 PM:


  I wonder where he/she would have gotten the notion that this is enjoyable for us.  The only discussions here about DV are by people from DV and for the most part, for people from DV.  

  I ignored this because it was the first in your series of disparaging comments. At the time I thought "Ok, that's her opinion" and left it at that. Maybe it was a my mistake, because you didn't stop there:



On March 23, 2007, 08:45:31 PM, you continued harping on the same point in another thread: You're right Raging Poodle...this isn't DV.  So why are you so intent on bringing all DV's problems HERE?  I understand you're not happy with how things are going over there....but is it really fair to bring it all HERE to hash it out?  Pages and pages of pasted issues you want sorted out, but you're trying to sort it out with the wrong people.  No?

 If you haven't figured out already, 98% of people on DS ARE from DV. Even YOU are from DV. You used to post there before you got banned. Just remember the good ol' days PC...

 So what happens on DV does affect DS. Tenkani had already pointed that out to you, so I didn't feel the need to repeat it. But you didn't "get it".

 I let that go also.

 Now that I'm responding to your criticism, I should mention that I'm not bringing DV's problems here. I'm discussing what's happening there.

 Just like I'm free to discuss what's happening in Somalia or Iraq, I should be free to discuss what's happening on DV.

 If I made a couple of threads on either Somalia or Iraq, are you going to be nagging me about bringing the problems in those places to DS?

 Are you going to be whining and bellowing endlessly about how there're no Somalis or Iraqis on DS, how we're the wrong crowd to be discussing these matters, and that it's not really fair to hash out their problems on DS?

 >Pages and pages of pasted issues

 ^ What on earth are you referring to here? Are you talking about my resurrected thread?

 I resurrected a DV thread in 3 DS messages because I hit the maximum number count. I could've done it in 1 message if I had enough room.

 Was that too much for you also? Just 3 messages. Too much for PC...

 I realize you've been under pressure lately, but how fair is it for you to be taking your nerves out on me?

 I'm not your doormat, PC.

 I'll continue addressing your accusations in the next message.

I was polite and courteous. I indicated:



It's a topic, PC. You really don't have to read it if it doesn't interest you.
 
Do you think I click on every copy pasted odd news item that's posted on here?


No. I only click on those that interest me, and sometimes I comment on them.
 
If it turns out that I don't like the chosen news item, I don't start picking on the OP saying hey why're you pasting all the stupid news items here? Do you think DS is a news collection agency? Why should I care about what seems interesting to you, etc. etc.
 
Do you see my point?




You've totally ignored this. You pretended as if you haven't seen it.

And only 9 minutes later you dish out yet another accusation!

  Do you see how long it's taking to respond to your baseless comments?



This is how you were trying to hijack my thread. If I had responded to your pissing and moaning, my threads would've totally veered off course.



Now on to your allegations:

  > I have tried to remain civil and perhaps I'm not succeeding as best as I could...but I'm trying.  

  I tried to remain civil with you as well by initially IGNORING you. But you never got the message.



Then I responded to you. That didn't work either.



It was impossible to communicate with you: You kept on harping on the same topics, constantly annoying me, constantly criticizing, constantly pestering...

  You've been trying to draw my attention all this time, and now that I'm addressing your concerns, this time you're whining about how I should get off your back.



Why didn't you extend the same courtesy to me, PC?



Why didn't leave me alone when I was repeatedly biting my tongue and ignoring you?



You have a right to be left in peace, but I don't?

    > I don't think I ever had a problem with you before.........   nor do I think you ever had a problem with ME before......  

  True. I didn't have any problems with you until a few days ago.

Until then you were someone whose conversation and jokes I used to enjoy.



Now you've turned into an annoying troll with your endless pissing and moaning about my threads.

  > All I ask is that you base your opinions of me on the interactions that have taken place between you and I when you are making your comments about me.
 
Am I asking too much ?


You're not asking too much. That's EXACTLY what I'm doing.



In responding to your points, I quoted YOUR messages that were addressed to ME. So I'm basing my words on what's taken place between you and I.



I hope I've been successful in relaying my perspective.



I welcome any comment or VALID counter points (ie. those supported by facts) you might have.



And on a final note, congratulations on quitting a position that seemed to be stressing you out.



I wish you all the best.

  Yes, I talk about DV. But I talk about other topics also.



To me, DV is like the skid row of the Net. There's always some crap going on there. And more often than not it's either illegal or immoral.



And I talk about smites.



Both DV and smites are sociological phenomena.

They work in unpredictable ways.

Raging Poodle, that's got to be the funniest comment that has extruded from you today, a comic classic!



Raging Poodle  is going to stay on topic! Yeah right. I'll believe that when pigs learn to fly like angels.

  As far as Borken saying you've got balls, that's the biggest laugh of them all. You haven't got any balls, you shrill, shrewish crybaby! All you've got is brass, and not even very much of that, especially after this, your latest meltdown.

Are you going to automatically side with PC and start brandishing the big stick of banning now?

Get a grip, Raging Poodle, you're nowhere near important enough to ban.


 
Yes, I talk about DV. But I talk about other topics also.

Yes, I've seen both of your topics. They're fascinating, really.

I quit two jobs!!=D The only two I ever had. The first one was horrible, it was always busy, crappy uniform, the mangers didn;t know what they were doing, and I hate to work anyway, especially dealing with the public, always having to smile and be nice. Evan when the cusomers are rude/wrong and stupid. so I quit, and the next job was okay, I quit because they kept giving me too many shifts. I'm going to school and they wanted me to work 6 days a week, all day sunday, open and close. and like 5 every weekday til 9:30, I never got home til after 10.PM, after I counted the cash. So I quit. besides I hate crappy public jobs like those anyway. No more job for me until I finish college and do something I actually like.

Ironic, my first post as a registered and it's on a thread about quitting! lol

I've quit lots of jobs. The best piece of advice I ever got was from a boss  who was also quitting. He simply said, "Don't feel bad about it, even though they will try to make you feel that way. If things were going badly here, they would fire people and then go for lunch."

Best career advice I've ever had!

Title: Re: Who Quit
Post by: awesomeraaor on Mar 28 07 10:35
things seemed to be getting too serious over there.  too much negative energy.  

i can see and i can accept flaming from time to time, as an art.  but what's not art, is the same little group of people making it their dv mission to make sure i have a terrible time online by following me around from thread to thread and ruining my threads, anytime i made a post.  it's always the same people, and always the same comments.  with always the same consistency.  it gets old.

i think they should re-name the board for what it really is.... "the fight club" and no one else will get the wrong idea about it.  i know i should fight back, but i don't feel i should have to "fight" every time i want to say something. it just creates more negative energy.  

what kind of a screwed up place is that, that the mods encourage you to fight?  if i were a mod, i'd rather have the posters getting along than fighting.  i would be trying to encourage good behaviour in posters, and conversation.  that's just me though.  i don't see the world through the same coloured glasses as some of the current mods do.

i don't hardly even bother to read dv now, as why would i want to open a thread and read about someone wanting to "ass-rape" somebody else???  i don't need to see that.  no one needs to read that kind of filth.

in my mind, dv is not worth the price of admission.

[FONT size=4]THANKS everyone!!!! [/FONT] It was a great day to do it.  The sun was shining and it was the last day for yearly passes to be used up.....so there were a ton of members and regulars there.....so got to say some good-byes to lots of my favourite people.  (golf course for those who never knew....I worked in the pro-shop)

  I came out of there mis-shapen for being hugged to smithereens.  It was sad and great at the same time.
