Quit my job and get a different one? NO OT

Have you applied at starbucks? I think a lot of them are hiring again. I really liked working there and the insurance was nice.

Quote from mystery250 : We both have the same position, doing the same thing on different days. He's extraordinarily lazy, doing a very poor job, while doing only the minimum is required. As for myself, I have to clean up the mess the next day, as the store is in much worse shape than if it was done properly the day before. As I said, favoritism is ripe in the store, so he's not going to be going anywhere. I have to every day I work regardless. At any rate, I'm leaning towards the new job. It'll be less hours, less stress and more flexibility.

Ok, if the other job is available to you at will, simply start doing the same quality of work as the guy you presently work with. Don't let that stress you. Suck up all the cash you can from that job. IF you get fired, just take the other one. If it's true nobody cares how well or how bad the cleaning is, then why should YOU care?

I know, it's hard for a person such as yourself to deliberately do a bad (or substandard) job, but sometimes you just have to fight back. That's a legitimate way to do it, if you are unconcerned about a reference to the next job. After all, how can they hurt you even if you do get canned, since you can quit at any time and get the other job?

I am on both sides on this one. On the one hand, this is an entry level shit job that is supposed to suck. I say bust ass and make as much money as possible and use the shitty situation to move up as fast as possible.

On the other hand, if it is effecting your health and sanity, money isnt everything.

All that being said, I would probably lean toward what others have said and keep looking.

Is this a school job? What are your future plans? Do you like cleaning? Would a house cleaner job fit your life better?

It's not 'cleaning' it's 'conditioning'. At any rate, I do care about references and care about my appearance as an employee, so I want to have a good reference if I need it in the future.

The department manager did state that if I wanted to come back if the other job didn't work out, they wouldn't have a problem rehiring me, which is a possibility I wouldn't mind keeping open.

Not that I'd go back if I quit unless I couldn't find anything else at all...

You've already told the place you work with that you're looking for other employment?
