I had a falling out with my boss and he called me a few choices words that made me react a lil strongly.
He sent me home when that happened, but I didn't regret it. Later, he called me insisting that when he said "Today's your last day, go home," he wasn't firing me at all--would I please come back? MAJOR
. I came back, but when he realized that I had filed a complaint against him prior to returning, he acted a fool and made it his mission to torture me. After two days, I talked to my wonderfully understanding store manager and got the go ahead to make that day my official last day. I looked for another job briefly and had a couple good options, but eventually decided I was happier not working. Mind you, I was a student with substantial savings so I could afford that option.
That was an extreme, though. I had another awful job that made me want to run and hide evertime it was time to clock in. I started looking for a new job after 3 weeks. It took 2 months to find another job and I had to take on extra odd jobs to make ends meet in the meantime (I was paid that little
). That job was a necessary evil or else I wouldn't be able to handle the rent. I would say if you're not two seconds from slitting your wrists, then just stick it out.
