Should I quit my job? Or should I stay?

Quit your job.  Things there won't improve until that manager is gone or one of her higher-ups stops her behavior.  Don't worry about never being able to work there again, because it doesn't sound like a good place to work!

Do you like your job, or just the people you work with? If you like your job because you are good at what you do there, then stay. If you only enjoyed your job because of the people that worked around you then maybe you should find another job as well.....Your the only one that can answer this question,you know if you like being there or not.

it depends on the nature of your job. u weren't really specific as to what industry you're in.  but if the office needs you, then go to work. and if you really think that the work you're in right now is stiffling your freedom, think it over a million times before you decide to quit. sure there are places with greener pastures, be sure u'll end up in one of those places if ever u decide to move on.

My advice is to stay where you are until you find something better. I honestly don't think a person should stay at a job that not only do they not like, but also that is a dead end. It can be depressing, believe me I know (same situation). I'll take what they will give for now until something better comes along.

Search for another job.   (don't mention it to anybody you're working with) then (always) give your employer a month to 2 week notice.  You want to be in goodstanding so you'll get a good review.  Don't quit your job until you know for sure you are going to get the other job!!!!  3 years isn't a long time to already be sick of a job.  try 20 years!!!  You should always save money no matter what...!!!!  even it's only 5-10-20 dollars a week it adds up pretty quick.  I save my change.  I am a bartender, at a family owned chinese restaurant, so i give lots of change by the end of the night.  i save it and put it in a cd account that way I won't spend it.  i'm using it to save up for my child's college education...she's only 3!!!  I have a long ways to go...

You sound as if you are young and just starting out so please take the new job. Your current job can now be a good refernce since they were willing to increase your hours to keep you there. Also, if you feel you are leaving the current job in a bind and your new job is parttime maybe you could still help out until they find someone more permanent. This way you never "burn your bridge" at the current job. Good luck and remember, your new job has benefits and opportunity for growth.

change job.  It is better to work in an environment where you feel like a part of a team.

You can ask to withdraw your notice, but your employer can make you stick to it.\n\nThe best thing is to talk to your manager, if they are having trouble recruiting for your replacement and love you then they will probably be happy that you have chosen to stay. However, they may have concerns about your loyalty and commitment and might want some new blood - so it could go either way.\n\nBut talk to them, what have you go to lose?

If you've had a good relationship with your bosses, I'd say give them as much notice as you can.  They will appreciate it and so will the others in the office who will end up doing your job if  someone new isn't in place by the time you leave.  You're leaving anyway, so why not give them a break?

I have never considered quitting my job.. but I have considered a tech school that is less demanding in the hours you have to attend.. (My children are small, so I have been full focus on them and public schools for many years)..\n\nBut when I do begin to expand my education, I plan to take some on-line courses.. I work with a college teacher now that does 1 day in the class a week and the rest of the studies she broadcast out online and has an automated grading system she can access from her laptop.. so for convenience of location.. that's what I would chose.\n\nBut there are many grants available for small businesses and for many types of industries that have a lack of people in their field...The best advice I could give I've told a few other times in here.. Go to a grant writing class..that will help you receive a lot of funding that is just waiting for you to write a letter in the way that appeals to the giver... (Sometimes it's not what you write but how you write it.)\n\nIt is scary...but worth it to face what frightens you will make you more powerful to conquer other things later without being so frightened...Good Luck to you!!

Line up a new job first, then approach your boss and tell him/her that you have been offered a position on better money. They will either say to take it or they may try to offer you more to stay. Either way you have a job after you walk out of the office, and who knows, if they offer you more money you may find you like the job you have now because the money is worthwhile and you don,t need to change. Also if they come up with more money tell the people at your new job. They may come up with more again to try and grab you for your experience.\n\nThis is the employment game.\n\nGood luck playing.

i would try to find a better job, either more money or more job satisfaction or ideally both.  if you find something better you should get out and don't look back.

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.

If you're unhappy, you should move on.  You have no guarantee you'll live long enough to retire, and then you will have spent more unhappy years.  What you have already contributed to your retirement should still be available to you when you reach retirement age.  And it's clear that you'll be waiting a long time before your promotion in that job.\n\nWhat I'd do, is go out and see if you can get any other offers.  Don't tell your boss or co workers.  If you get a good one, go to your boss and tell him that you've gotten this offer, and you would like to stay if he gave you a similar or better promotion and made it more attractive for you to stay.  It's amazing what a boss will do if he thinks someone else wants you. But be sure it's a real offer, and be ready to take it, because he may say, sorry, I can't match it, so go ahead and take the job.  \n\nIf you don't get any better offers, well, then you've learned something, no harm done.  You'll have to get some outside interests and not make your job your life, while you work out your time til retirement.

ACTUALY I LOVE MY JOB \nAND I DO NOT KNOW WHY hate your job IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT THEN QUIT

Somehow, people with a sense of loyalty have trouble changing jobs.  I am looking to quit a horrible job, but I am having pangs of guilt.  These people would fire me at the drop of a hat even though I have worked very hard for a few years,\n\nThink of what is best for you.  Nobody is irreplaceable and they will easily find someone else for your current position if you decide to move on.  You are not the first, nor will you be the last person to do what you are contemplating.  If it is better for you to make the move, don't lose the opportunity,  But be sure to secure the job before you let your current boss know what you are planning to do.
