The title probably explains this, but there is a lot of profanity here because I am so pissed I can't even describe it. I honestly want to kill something...

So yeah. I am through being optimistic. My job fucking SUCKS. First thing tomorrow morning (which is my birthday, btw) I am calling and telling them I quit.

I wash dishes at Friendly's. Frankly, I'm the only one on the kitchen staff with half a fucking brain. The place is MOBBED on weekends, but I just had to work a 9 hour shift, by myself. I couldn't keep up. I just couldn't do it. I asked people for help and they just gave me more shit to wash said and stuff like "sorry! too busy!" or "try asking that other person..." I actually had a freaking nervous breakdown and sat down outside in the smoking area and fucking cried.

I'm not taking that shit anymore. It's not worth fucking minimum wage. It's not worth coming home every day, dirty, wet, tired, in pain, covered in ice cream, and half starving because I don't have time for breaks. I haven't seen my family in a week. And I LIVE with them, and they've both been off work for a WEEK for Christ's sake... I'm through with that bullshit... Whatever I do from here it's either going to be stepping up on selling jewelry on ebay or finding something else... But not this! :x

I've never quit before though... What should I say when I call in tomorrow morning and tell them I won't be coming back? I mean... The managers are wonderful people it's just... I can't do it anymore...

Oh, and before anyone decides to tell me, have some patience, it'll be better tomorrow... Yeah well... I'm done with that. This isn't the first time and I am fucking shit out of patience. ...And I am an extremely patient and easy going person normally...

...Can someone cheer me up a little please? :(

I hear you, there are just some jobs that can't possibly work for people.

I've never quit, but I have gone for my bosses' heads for similar situations with impossible workloads. In your case I would express to your managers that you liked working with them, you just can't make this job work for you as it stands now. If they offer some help to improve your situation, wonderful. If not, then you have the chance to just thank them for the experience, and move on without offending or upsetting anyone that could be a useful job reference for later.

Edit: and I agree with the two weeks notice. It's professional, it let's them find a replacement and gives them a chance to maybe tweak the situation so that maybe you can keep the job and do it well without being overloaded.

I agree with what Galena said.

I just finished putting in my two weeks where I worked. I'd gotten the job offered to me by my next door neighbor, so I felt even worse about leaving, but she understood.

Now I'm going to be (hopefully) working at a less stressful place that's also closer to home.

My advice? Stick it out for two more weeks.
Give a 2 week notice. It not only shows a degree of professionalism, it shows that despite you leaving, you have enough concern over the company to give them that courtesy.</p>
<p>If you cannot manage to give the two weeks notice, go in in person, and explain that you aren&;t happy, and that you cannot continue to work there.

Never said better. What you had to go through sounds horrible, I hope you find a better place to work.

I don't like prom and the school I went to didn't have one.

I have never had a REAL job. But, from what Mom said in one of her talks, it would be a good idea to have another job before you quit your current one. But that job just sounds like hellO.O

Oh yesyesyes, this website always helps me when I get home from a frustrating day at work.

My suggestion would be to get another job before you quit, but I guess it depends if you can live without the income/on your parents. Like for me, I want to quit my job but I need to find another before so cause that's not an option for me.
