OT: Prayers Needed

HI Chrissy,

I have been in your shoes and I can give you a piece of advice. Let the other company call you back before you call again. I know you are desperate to leave this job for another but you don't really want to come across as someone who will jump ship as soon as it gets rough.

If you have vacation time I'd say take it as soon as you can just to take a mental health break.

I wish you the best of luck. Keep us informed, ok.

Hi Chrissy,

Boy, do I remember being in your position. It's not worth the stress and it sounds like you are going to soon be in a job that makes you happy.

Good luck to you!

Chrissy, I know exactly what your going thru. Before I got hired full time to this great job I have now (was only part/seasonal for 3 years) before, I worked for Scholastic Book Fairs.

I LOVED the job, loved the people but the manager was a real pain. He was one of those asses (sorry!) that believed only in his success, did not SEE that if it was not for us, he would not get the ratings he felt he DESERVED an got. He and I did not get along from day 1. I knew MY job as well as most of everyone else's. I did my job most usaully above what was required and that is what he disliked (plus being stubborn!) and he thought that we had to be led and treated as soldiers. That is where I bucked, been there and done that for 20 years and was not going to do that again. He had posted on the bulletin board traits of leadership and teamwork.

Anyhow I dreaded going to work because of him. There was four of us KEY people that within one month quit because of his always putting us down nad treating us as underlings. He would tell us, "we would have higher ratings if so and so did this, if this was ths way" and so on. He also would put guilty feelings on us if we got sick and would say "So and So is sick and because of that YOu have to do this." He woud also TEACH us on how to eat and be fit and thigs to do to keep from gettig sick. He even would go as far as looking at your car and tell you about it!

I had it in my mind of the day i would quit but then he told me after I emailed hr, that I was fired and that he was going to do it way before. Right!

So Chrissy, sorry to ramble on, but sometimes with today's fast paced and everyone for themselves society, you have to do things taht you can handle or cope with. But always make sure you have a opening first!!

So my thoughts are with you and HUGS too!!!

Boy do I remember being in your shoes. I remember how I could tell I dreaded my job... I'd get up in the morning put my hair in a pony tail, throw on some clothes and go to work. No shower, no hairdoo, no makeup, no primping of any kind. Clearly depression about the job. You are on the right track. Get another job!

Miserable jobs are just that . . . miserable. {{{Chrissy}}}

Wishing you the best of luck to quickly find a good paying, fulfilling job you'll enjoy!

Chrissy I will send good thoughts your way. I've been so fortunate to have a job that I love. I can't imagine hating so go into work everyday. Here's positive thoughts for the company that wants to talk with you!

Good luck Chrissy:>)

Good luck on getting the new job. I worked my former job for 10 years before getting burnt out - they changed my job description and I ended up testifying in court on numerous occasions monthly. I got to the same point as you and decided on a change. I don't make near as much money as I did then, but I am happier and that's what counts. Sandy

Prayers going up Chrissy!

Sending prayers your way. Good luck with the job call.

Chrissy, sorry to hear you are currently unhappy with your employment. I have everything crossed that this new prospect works out for you and is just what you need to lift your mood.

Chrissy, good luck with the new job interview. I too know what you are going through with a job you hate. Hang in there, things will get better.

Today is the day! My prayers are with you. Let us know what you hear!!!

I've been praying today for you Chrissy. Let us know how it goes!

Thinking of you,Krissy.
