Job ?...sorry long
I have been miserable for some time now at my job. At first I thought it was because I was pregnant and over sensitive...so I promised myself that I wouldn't do anything drastic while I was Pregnant...I would wait things out to see if things went back to normal after I had the baby. Well the baby is now 14 months old...and the job is worse than ever.
I'm working more and more hours...and not getting paid anything extra for it, because I am salaried. I have less time with my baby which is not acceptable...he is only a baby once. I am miserable just at the thought of coming to work. I spend most of sunday night with chest pains because I'm thinking about Monday morning.
my question is...do I stay at this job until I can find something else? or do I give my notice and maybe waitress until something better comes along?
TIA

Start looking now, when you find someone give notice and maybe take some time for yourself. I wouldnt quit until you have something else lined up though.

I also think you should find something first. It might take a long time to find something else. At least while you have this job, you can choose the job instead of settling for something because you need to take it.
Good luck!

If it's THAT hard to bethere....then it's time to go...BUT I would say have something to fall back on before you leave (UNLESS you can afford not to)

Re: Job ?...sorry long
I know that I could make up the $$ I make here by waiting tables...not glamerous...and kind of a step backward....but my DH can carry us on his benefits...and he is getting promoted next week...so I oculd even aford to earn a little less than I make now.
DH and I agree that no matter what I am leaving before the new year....but each day that goes by I am more convinced that I will have a nervous breakdown before then.

Re: Job ?...sorry long
If you timed it until the end of the year...you got PLENTY of time to get a new job!
And believe it or not...I made GREAT $$$$$ when I was a cocktail waitress...all cash in my pocket...it's not as easy as some may think....long hours on your feet and heavy trays to carry...but like I said-clear cash AND a pay check!

Re: Job ?...sorry long
I know how you feel..esp the chest pains part - i get that every day!! 
I agree you should get something else before you quit....how about temping? This way maybe there will be weeks where you work 5 days and other where you only work a few..and you most likely won't have to do any OT....can you go on your husband's benefits?
Maybe an office job like at a doctor's office that opens early?
What do you do now?

Re: Job ?...sorry long
i felt the same way at my old job 
i got out of there as fast as i could BUT i made sure i got another job first. hoenstly, if you make the decision to get out of there ASAP, ad put your mind to it- you WILL find something to replace it. I know it $ucks, But i really feel like you will be mor emotivated to get a new job if you stay there, and that may speed up the process, and i also feel like employers tend to hire people that are currently working than those that have been out of the force for some time (just from what i've seen around me )
Good luck.!!! Better times are on their way!!
