Guest bonnieschamberger Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Im too tired tonight to go into too much detail but Im seriously thinking about leaving my job this year after thanksgiving and going to work somewhere else.Have you ever had to leave a job that just really wore you down mentally/physically? My coworkers are awesome for the most part but the ones in my department leave most of the work on me ..they invite people to come visit them up there(its a retail store) and they will go over on another aisle and visit for an hour or so...sometimes they will run off with another customer for an hour or two leaving me with the 20 plus customers who all want their fabric cut in a timely manner.So many other things for years and Ive gone to management several times ...nothing...Ive even gone to corporate....nothing.Its been 6 years but yeah time to go .I would like to hear from anyone else who has had something similar happen and how long was it before you decided?

It's very stressful and can just wear you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen several friends who have done that and it was devastating for them if another job didn't come along quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad used to tell me never give 100%,give 90% or so because you set your own standards & then y our 100% is EXPECTED of you every single day,,,,,one cannot ALWAYS run at top speed!!!! I believe that was sound advice,seeing how my 75% is usually well above everyone else's best day.....I'm not boasting,I simply work very very hard ,to the point of over doing it,,,,,sounds ;like you may be the same Did I take my Dads advice? Of course not!LOL I learned the hard way after working myself to death from one job to the next,,,,it was the same because I was the same.... I have found that too often we hope & expect different results but we continue to do the same things that resulted in the same result Perhaps you don't need to find another job Sister,maybe you can just adjust your own standards & slow down a bit,ask your co-workers(they seem nice enough?) to help more because you simply cannot & will not do their job PLUS your own.....just my little 2 cents And of course,pray Our Lord is always ready to step in to show us where we have may have missed something,ask Him to Reveal to you what you cannot see Praise Jesus! With love-in Christ,Kwik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have clearly allowed this to go on far too long. Hope you don't have a martyr complex! So yes, find another job that is less stressful, and make sure you have a written contract that spells out your job description clearly, and you agree to it.
