Have you ever worked at a job that you couldn't wait to quit?

Oh, yes, just about every job I had I couldn't wait to quit, but I didn't. Some jobs I minded less than others. It's not usually the work but the people I work with that cause me the most problems.

I worked in a Ralph's in the Bakery department and I only worked there for 3 months because it was so hard on my tiny body! They had me working the evening shift until 8pm when they closed. This job entailed that you had to "break out" the goods to be baked in the morning and lay them all out on bakings racks and suchs, not so bad. BUT you had to go into the freezing cold freezer and lift, move and manuver 30-50lbs boxes. At the time I was 5' nothing and weight about 105. And even if your strong enough to lift the boxes the fact that you are shivering from the cold and your fingers are numb made it so difficult. I couldn't have left that place fast enough!!

hi beautyqueen oh yes I was twenty and worked in a place called the nancy ann storybook doll factory. it was a crummy place and I had the job of gluing on the wigs on these finger long dolls and you had to do this so carefully not one drop of glue got on the wig, or you werent paid for that doll. they paid by the doll and it was boring and hard, and very low wages too. After awhile your hands were covered with glue, your back hurt and you couldnt have cared less about the dolls. lo.lol. then I got a job working as a nurses aid andI loved that. it was hard but interestingand you were helping other people. I loved working in the hospital.

OH, I have worked many a job I couldn't wait to quit. I was so bored and there was no work, but they wouldn't lay me off, so I finally found another job (which takes forever in this economy) and got outta there! There is nothing more stressful than being in a job you can't stand!

I'm working one of those right now. It's just a part time, in order to supplement my income on top of my full time job. The pay is pretty good, but the atmosphere is horrible. The talk to me like I am a private in the Army. And it's been quite a while since I was a private in the Army.

I had a job first time at one company in that my job is answering the phones. It is problematic for me to do this I leave that job immediately. After than I got another job which is programming but they don't pay much I quit that job also. Happy to share your views. Happy myLotting.

I had a babysitting job like that around 1995. The mother did not pay me regularly, the house was a chaotic mess, and the mother complained on and on and on about her divorce. Finally one night it just got to be too much for me, and I called my mother and step-dad to come get me. Dave took me home, and Mom sat with the kids till their mother came home.

I actually would like to leave the job that I have now as I really don't like the management there. It is hard work and a lot of being on your feet and lifting of things that I feel are way to heavy for most women. I don't mind working hard,but I don't like this job.

My first job was horrible. I wasnt getting paid alot and it was hard. It was a conrer store that made food, did icecream, and pretty much just about everything. They even did butchering during hunting season. So id be making pizzas and fried foods, while cleaning blood and guts. It was disgusting. It was family owned and they asked us to do a lot of stuff that was out of the job description. Theyd leave their breaskfast dishes for me to do, when i got in at FIVE after school. They left it that long, it was like cement eggs on the plates. So gross. As for my job now, the work isnt hard and I like the job. As for the peopel I work with, not so much. To much politics. Im the youngest so I dont get any responsibility, despite how long Ive worked there. My boss doesnt have the best management skills, when shes mad she wont tell you why, just gives you the silent treatnment and stuff. not fun, Im in the process of getting a new one.

hi beauty queen I once wor ked as anurses aid in an old folks home and I was never so glad to quit that job as the waythey treated senior citizens was just gross. they let them lie in urine soaked bedding for hours. You could smell the stale uring when you walked into the building,and they let urine and feces contaminated linen soak in water for hours. the smells were just sickening and the patients had to breathe that all day long. One lady caught herself on fire from smoking and nobody saw it until she was badly burned. she was seated in a wheelchair in plain view of the desk. I told the nurses agency not to ever send me to this nursing home again. as it was just too too gross. This particular place was later closed down for negligenceof patient care. well deserved too.

Hi there beautyqueen. I had several jobs that i wanted to quite as fast as i could - actually all the jobs i had until now were crappy. I had about 4 part time jobs. One was about delivering commercial papers to mail boxes - those were heavy and took me a lot of time and only paid about 4-6 $ a day. Another job was about selling different junk to any person that i could persuade - not my ideal job i would say. Another one was a cashier - but here i staid 3 months and a half as i needed the money - but it was not worth it considering that some people feel so superior over shop cashiers.

I worked ten years as a insurance claims representative, hated every minute of it, but couldn't bring myself to quit because I didn't want to look for another job. I eventually was fired and had to job look anyway, but at least I got severance pay which I would not have gotten if I'd quit.

I have a job before that i didnt like at all because of my boss. She was so irritating and demanding. She makes me feel like everything that i do is wrong. I look for a job while still working at that fastfood and when i was accepted i right away left without even giving them enough notice to find a replacement for me. I feel they dont deserved it anyway after all the treatment i get from them.

I think that everyone has had a job that they couldn't wait to quit. It's obvious to find what you really want out of life and find a way to get paid for it. I teach voice lessons and that way, I can be at home with my kids, but still keep in touch with my singing.

In my second year of teaching I tried supply teaching. I did two days in a reception class, age four to five year olds. The head teacher asked me if I wanted a temporary job teaching in the nursery, age three to four year olds. One set of children had a morning session and then I had to to the same thing again with the afternoon children. I found some of them had terrible behavior. The head teacher was a weak and annoying character. He has such trouble getting teachers that he had got one for the Year 5 class from New Zealand. She hated the school and the children were terribly difficult. She just decided to leave before she had signed her contract five weeks into the autumn term. I rang my agency every morning and said I hated that school and wanted to leave. I was getting paid about one hundred pounds a day but it wasn't worth it. Eventually I did leave and that was wonderful.

i started on a new job for a week now and maybe i'm just on the adjustment period because i always feel that i already want to quit. aside from having been told that the pay is less, they heap of the job also requires me to do overtime almost everyday and it's alredy becoming very stressful for me. at the moment i'm hanging on, i'm motivating myself to think positive and learn to like the job for now until such time a find a new one.

I was a sales representative before. I only worked for 3 months because I can't stand the job anymore. It was a hard work but you don't get paid very well. If you don't have sales, you wont get paid. And if you did, you only get a little bit of your earnings because the company deducted the weekly allowance to your sales. That s*cks! It was like, you are working for that company but you are paying your expenses!

Oh I can say that for almost any job i had. I just hate working FOR someone period. I'd rather work for myself.

I think there have been a couple where I really couldn't wait to get out of there. The first was just a summer job, working in a nursery. It was incedibly tedious work on a production line where pretty much all day was spent doing heavy lifting and running up and down inside sweltering greenhouses. Not fun. By the end of my last job I also was pretty keen to leave, but that was more to do with being sick of the 2 hour commute each way to get there (I'm really not cut out for getting up at 5am ;)) I'd also been there for 4 years and it felt like it was really time for a change. I'm very glad I moved on :)

Yes definately. When I had just left college I needed something quick, fast and easy to get to as I couldn't drive at the time so I was looking for something with a stable wage to fund my driving lessons. So I joined a job agency. They phoned me up about a week after I registered with them saying a job had become vacant just across the road from me so I took it thinking it would be ideal. Next day I started job and little did I know what it entaled. Spent eight hours lugging heavy post bags about full of mail, spent the majority of that time on my feet and finally the hours of work were horrible and completely threw my social life out the window as I started at 1300 and finished at 2100 everyday. The only perk of this job was getting trained to drive a forklift and I was a menace driving one of these. I left a few months after this...new driving license in hand and am happily working in an office where the heaviest thing I have to lift is the odd envelope.
