What should I do about my job?

I just got a new job and I already hate it I have been there a month. Should I quit now or give it some time? I absolutely dread all weekend going into work I don't think it should be like that after a month. DH keeps pressing me to stay there but I really don't want to

Re: What should I do about my job?

hmmmmm tough one. i would maybe set a date as to when to make a decision if nothing changes. Myabe say 'ok if i dont like it by sept. 2oth, that is it' I know it is easier said then done but maybe give it a little more time!
good luck!

Thanks That's a good idea. I think the main problem is I work 3 days in a row but 13 hour shifts. Then I have 4 days off. It's hard getting your self excited about that I try to remind myself of the 4 day weekend but I think I rather work 5 days a week.

I will set a date

yes that could be it! are you a nurse? i worked in an er for 7yrs before relocating here and i worked 5 days....alot of the rn's did the 3 dyas as well as the emt's. I always wanted to do that ...it would have just been easier with baby sitting. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. lol ---good luck!

I would look for something else. I have been at my job for 5 years and hated it the first day I walked in there. I should have left but I thought it would get better. Now I am having a hard time finding a new job.

Re: What should I do about my job?

I would probably move on now. For me, the whole setting the date thing didnt work, however, everyone is different.
Ive been @ my job for 6 years now. Praying $$ would get better, bosses would get better, etc. Theres been little change, and unfortunatley Ive made myself 'comfortable'.
I am looking and hope to move on..finally!

Re: What should I do about my job?

Not to barge in or anything, but I feel the same exact way you feel about your job, but I have been at mine for 3 months. I just cant stand it any longer and am currently looking for a new job. Why make yourself miserable, and waste your time if you are truly not happy???? I would definitely start looking.

Best of luck

yeah, if you already feel like this then I would move on - no sense in being somewhere you are miserable.

Re: What should I do about my job?

I would give it a little more time. I started a new job about a year ago and for the 1st month or two I HATED it!! I was looking into other jobs and even a career change, but after a little bit I got used to the new job and it wasn't so bad at all. I'd give it a little more time. Sometimes it takes a while to adjust. Hang in there! I hope it gets better for you!
