Re: I am going to do it tomorrow: I'm quitting

Hi all. Well, I made it into work today. Of course my boss doesn't even have a 5 minute window to talk to me....it's not going to be good timing when I do it, but I don't think it will ever be good timing.

AHH - I am nervous!!! Give me strength Chat Icon

You can do it!

When you're miserable at work it's the worst thing! I used to have a job that I would go sit in my car on my lunch hour (when I got one!) and just cry. I left not long after I started.

This is what I do here...except I cry in the bathroom. Ugh - it is so awful. I can't wait until this day is over!!!

Can I ask what other reasons you hate it for, aside from the commute?

Dont worry, it will be over soon.

Have you ever seen or read The Devil Wears Prada? It's like that. The most thankless job I have ever had.

That is what I want to do, but I'm trying to be as professional about it as possible. Meanwhile I still haven't seen my boss...she has been in back to back meetings and I prob will end up telling her over the phone while she is en route to another meeting tonight...Chat Icon

Good luck Chat Icon No job is worth compromising your emotional health (especially one that is a 2 hour commute !)

I agree! The job I used to cry at was when I lived on LI and commuted by from Coram to Great Neck everyday to work for a miserable SOB, there were some days (especially on Friday's in the summer) that it would take me 3 or more hours to drive home

You can always write a letter of resignation, that is professional.

I wanted to do it over email, but DH convinced me to do it professionally and in-person. I am nervous. I don't want to deal with the mental manipulation that my boss is sure to pull on me.

Bottom line: I'm not happy and never will be at this job. My commute is 2 hours each way into the city and I am slowly killing myself. The only way I'm going to get a new job is by quitting, so that I can have the time to look for a new job!

Anyway, I have conflicting feelings. I've been crying all day..I feel guilty, happy, and I also feel like a failure for not sticking it out longer.

Thanks for all your support - just thought I would give an update!

it sounds like you made the best decision for you, and I'm glad that you were able to speak to your boss and be done with it entirely -

best of luck!
