Starting a new job can be exciting, but it can also become overwhelming quickly.
The following story involves an employee who had been working for a little over a month, but she is already considering quitting.
She doesn’t truly enjoy the daily routine, and her salary doesn’t motivate her either.
With people around her giving conflicting advice, she was unsure whether to leave or simply endure the job.
If you were in her shoes, would you stay or leave? Read the full story below for all the details.
I was desperately searching for a job but now I have it, I don’t want it
It has been a little over a month now since I have started working. My job is not anything “hard.”
I am not required to do anything crazy. But I am slowly getting tired of it.
Am I ungrateful for not wanting to work anymore?
I feel like I am stuck in a constant cycle of waking up and doing the same things day in and day out.
I hardly deviate from what I do each day. I truly do not enjoy what I am doing.
This employee doesn’t feel motivated to work.
Even though my job is not particularly “hard,” I still feel anxious and sick every single day before I arrive.
The money isn’t even motivating me anymore nor is the experience.
Once I get paid, which is every two weeks, half of my paycheck goes to transportation and food.
The rest goes to saving, which almost leaves little to nothing for me to enjoy.
People around her are divided on whether she should stay or quit.
I soft-launch it to the people around me that I am going to quit at the end of this month.
But some are telling me not to, whilst others are telling me that I should.
I am not sure if this is more of a mental issue or something. What should I do?
Should I quit and pursue something else? Or should I toughen up and endure it?
Honestly, it sounds like something deeper than simply disliking a daily work routine.
Perhaps she hasn’t found her passion or her purpose yet, which is very crucial when building a career.
I think quitting immediately without another plan could create more financial stress.
OP should take her feelings seriously while considering other options before making a major decision.
