last saturday i got in serious trouble for the heinous crime of not wearing a name badge (it was just before my shift started and i had the damn thing in my pocket)

i stormed out of the disciplinary meeting and said "fuck this i quit!"

two days later they rang me up to confirm my resignation.

i then went grovelling back to them to get my job back. they accepted.

however at work last night was the worst day of my life. the whole time my head was screaming at me to just get the hell outta there. it was awkward and i felt completely out of place. it was horrible.

i'm wondering if i should continue to work there or just quit for good?

I've quit my job at a studio, and came back a month later. I know what you mean...there's reasons why I quit, and when I came back, it felt like I was disrespecting myself.



Each situation is different, but I know where you're coming from.

My advice, like always, trust your gut!

i hate working there but i'm flat broke and i might get kicked outta my home. i really need a decent job.



thanks dschwen- that's totally how i feel. there's like a knot in my gut and i was freaking out the whole time. i couldn't relax for a second.

what twenty seven said...its always best to have another job first, but emotions run high...you were lucky enough to get your job back to afford you the time to do it the right way this time.

Just be hones with the managers. Tell them stuff you like about the place, and shit that you can't stand. I'm sure they don't want their employees to be miserable.

Naturally, if you have another job offer or can survive without working, then go somewhere else or quit. But if this is really your best option, I'd say stick with it.

Personally, your behavior sounds sort of childish to me. It's clear your manager is a bit of an asshole, but this must have been evident to you beforehand. If you make mistakes with an asshole manager...they do what they do best...act an asshole! But unless you get fired, just take whatever they say or do with a grain of salt. Clearly not having your nametag on is not a 'heinous' crime...anyone who elevates it to that status is just being silly.

Suck it up and keep working there. You're not the bad person, your manager is. And while you're the one who has to deal with it, you sometimes just gotta deal with situations that stink. Goodluck!

It'll be called "two guys living together as roommates and say and do funny things all the time to make people laugh, hard."
