Well I would tell you new workplace that this is not common practice for you. Provide them with references from previous employers of yours that prove you have a had very litle time off in past jobs. Suggest this was a one-off.\n\nPesonally I wouldnt tell them the truth that the job was too stressful for you because it will come accross as though you couldnt handle the job and so it could easily happen again when you work for the new employers. I would tell a white lie and say you experienced personal problems(wife/family?) that led you to suffer from a stress related problem like anxiety etc. The doctors notes you have will back this up as they outline you have suffered from stress.\n\nI know its not great to lie but if I was an employer I wouldn't employ you if I knew you had time off from work due to the stress of the job. And anyway if you know in your heart that you CAN do this job well and it wont happen again it doesn't harm anyone. Jobs allow us to survive in life pay mortgages, our kids shoes etc and so as this lie wont hurt anyone and means you can get your job...theres no real problem.

Get another job that you think you may like and stop doing the one you don't like. If the same happens do the same again.Think positive. You only get one go in life so don't waste it doing something that makes you unhappy.\nBest foot forward!

You know what, I think this is a very easy question to answer. \nGo to companies that are fairly medium to large size, and ask them if they would be interested in letting you host a session on stress. Maybe you could call it, stress in the workplace, or something like that. I have visited some of these at my job I have been at for 10 years, and they are helpful, and many people do show up. Otherwise, find out if you can partner with an insurance provider who provides insurance to businesses. They may be able to partner you in, and keep you permanently, and then you could work for them, and they could tell you where to go to do your sessions.\nGood luck to you. ps...I just read an article on Tyler Perry, where he went from being homeless to a millionaire. He was determined to become successful, with his playwrights and he suffered for it, but he finally made it to the top. It is not about winning, it is about doing as much as you can for yourself on your own, with God's help, and making it. I believe He blesses you for your hard work.

why dont you try going on your own.  do you have a contract with your boss.  i would "suggest" to him/her that you are going on your own and may "borrow" some of his clients cause you can do things cheaper and better.  then tell him you wont quit for the bonuses back.  or you could try to get your boss to increase commission on sales and rentals to cover the loss of your bonuses.  its time to play some hardball.  whats the worse that could happen.  you leave and work for someone else?

Oh just tell your employer the truth...\n\n"Good morning, 'insert employer name', I'm very sorry but I will not be able to come into work today, I have recently started performing "charity" work...yes, charity work, I help a variety of people with the answers to their important questions...I was up so late last night, that I can barely function this morning.  I apologize and I will be in first thing in the morning!"\n\nWhat employer wouldn't cut you a little slack for charity work?

That's an old tactic. Here's another one I've heard,\n\n"Now, I don't want you to quit. You've got a BIG raise comin' up and I want you to get it!"\n\nYou can find someone to complain to but you are not going to be happy at your job. Find another one.

Do you enjoy where you are working?  This I think you need to answer, be truthful to yourself.  If you do like the job, I think that you would be best putting it down to experience and don't go there again.  If the answer is no I don't like this job, I would start looking for a new position and forget all about this.  The longer you stand in shit the more you smell of it, let it drop and move on, don't forget those who stabbed you in the back but this isn't good for your health to keep turning this over in your head.

I would say, learn everything there is to know about your job.  Make it so that you are the one your boss always relies on to do his work.  Then take all of that experience that you have used them for and find yourself a better job.  When you hand in your two week notice, your boss will freak out at the thought of not being able to find someone like you.  They'll start making you all kinds of offers so you wont leave, but you keep saying "NO".  It's a great feeling.

Well......keep following the rules But Do Not and I repeat Do Not follow your co-workers around telling them how they are not following the rules and also don't be a "tattle tale".   Nobody likes working with someone like that. And as Crazy as it sounds just because you follow all the rules to a T it doesn't mean that You are more productive or a more valuable employee than someone who may bend them sometimes. Just focus on your own work and what you do and you won't have time to worry about who is following the rules.    Good Luck.

Unfortunately, not much (assuming you're NOT in a terminate at-will state and NOT in a union).\nProbably the only thing is could show your boss how much you LOVE your job and how you LOVE the customers and LOVE treating them right. Be OPENLY ENTHUSIASTIC. Bosses find it hard to terminate people who feel that way (unless you really screw up)

first you have to come up w/ answers to all of their excuses.  spend a little time on their side before just going after them.  offer them advice and options on how to best solve the problem.  you also have to learn to remove yourself from feeling guilty.  know that you did not put them in the situation they are in and also know that you are doing a job and it is nothing personal.  there should be training aids provided by your company to counter any response given by a customer, check into that.

Make a list of the pros and cons.  Could you find a similar flexibility with another job?  It never hurts to look for a job, but I wouldn't quit until you have a better situation lined up.

First of all, I appreciate you to think about this and ask a question openly here. That shows you have recognized a problem and willing to do something about it. That is a big step. This is a tough question and I will do my best to answer briefly.\n\nYou are going to do few things to understand yourself. Here are my suggestions. 1) Think calmly and deeply (while driving, while taking a bath or whatever brings you that concentration) on what where the times you were happy doing your job. You have to go back in time in your current job, in your previous jobs, and even in other activities that you may be involved in. Start jotting down notes. 2) Start analyzing those events and you will find a common pattern such as "I am very happy when I interact with customers a lot at work" or "I am very happy researching and analyzing a problem all by myself and coming up with ideas". 3)Think about what makes you upset or bored in your current situation - Is it because your boss does not respect your inputs? Too much office politics? Personal problems? 4) You just do not like your job -- may be your job demands a lot of interaction with customers but you do not enjoy that. 5) You think you are not compensated well? - may be a lost promotion or you feel that your friends who do similar work get paid much more? It could be even as simple as you do not enjoy flexibility in office timings whereas your personal demands need it. \n\nOnce you have given thought to these things, you will feel confident. Ask your boss for some time to talk in depth. Prepare yourself well for the meeting so that you are to the point and explain what gets you excited and what keeps you motivated. Good luck.

This is not the time to be calm and just try to keep a steady job - -you sound young and maybe do not have family responsibilities yet, etc.  This is the itme to realy push yourself (think minimum 12-hour workdays -- not necessarily just working fo your company but also starting some projects on your own on the side).\n\nThis is also the time to prove your worth and demand some things in return -- make yourself very valuable to this company (bring in revenue, have clients love you, implement important solutions, find ways to improve product / service or cut costs-- you get it).  And once you are very valuable push yourself totry  more difficult challenges in different settings -- those around you will notice and you won't have to feel you need to have a "calm face" -- opportunities wiill open up for you if you instead have the attitude that the company is the one lucky to have you and the results to back that attitude up.  Good luck!!

First if you want to quit your job have one already waiting on you to start. If you feel that you just don't want to drag yourself into that same old job anymore then start looking for a new one. Once you have your starting date set up give notice to your old one. Be happy.
