I quit my job

[Null]

As I'm not in his shoes, I really can't say how it works out to be quite honest. I just know, here I'm sitting worried about paying for my medication which in itself directly determines my life and he is worrying about what college to invest in for his baby that isn't due for another four months.

I know, everybody has a job they hate or somebody they can't stand at their job. With me though, I let shit stress me out waaaay to much, thus the ulcers and medication I always talk about. Just sitting down and talking to him constantly made my stomach bleed. And actually leaving the place is somewhat of a weight because I would constantly want to just punch him in the face.

He's the boss.

Gonna at least point this shit out to your boss's boss?
You really shouldnt have stormed out though. what ya shoulda done was find a new job first and then make sure to give no notice when you ditch them.
This is also a tactic companies like to do to save on unemployment benefits i think. (If you quit they owe you nothing but if they fire you they owe you some cash.)
It's supposedly a common tactic to make things shitty for the person they want to fire to save money in this manner so you may have just gotten tricked into this.

I'd have to be dead to leave a job that makes like 70k/yr. I make roughly half of that (I also live in the Midwest, in a town of about 125k when the students are here, so it's really not all that bad)...but then again, I truly enjoy what I do and that's really all that matters as long as the bills are getting paid.

That's not how it works.

Well like I said, it was really me letting a shitty day get the best of me, as I never thought I would leave this job let alone quit on the spot. I always plan things out and yeah, there is no unemployment for quitting. And the shitty thing with the pay here, is even if I were aloud to go back to the job or a job of the sort, I don't get paid for the 3-4 years of experience. You only get that pay if you transfer.

How expensive is this medicine you take?

[Null]

Overall I roughly pay $1300. I recently lost my insurance which I have to wait to get back. but even after that it won't cover my pain medication which will run me a tad bit over $800.

And of course between rent / bills and medication I have to pay the bills first since I am on a payment plan to pay back my debt.

I appreciate all the comments, even the ones calling me an idiot lol. Quite frankly I only expected 3-4 comments, all of which being a comment about FoD.

I called my mother and told her, of course she called me an idiot. But she will talk to my old neighbor who is a Vice President of Pfizer. It's a stretch but if I could get a position with him, I'll have to move out of state. Which sucks, because of school and my apartment lease.

Shoulda' punched him in the face tbqfh. :>

I had a job like that in 07/08. Fucking cunt rags I worked with did NOTHING, got paid more than I did and left earlier than I did. Every Thursday & Friday for.. 6 months, or something, was a 13 hour day.

Now the department I used to work in is full of temps that are constantly being replaced because no one wants that fucking job because the company is retarded.

[fren.]

Its our revenue, since we've just added on to our building, our bonuses were cut for construction + all the shoppers that stopped coming when we were a mess.

And yeah, the guy just bought a $800,000 house mid year last year.

And it would be laughable for 76 to be his yearly earnings, as I myself almost make that.

edit: nvm!

Dude, if you're barely scraping by on 70k/year...

...you need to evaluate your spending habits, medication and loan repayment notwithstanding.

Also, you sound like kind of an immature hothead. Enjoy your rash decision to leave a job that put you squarely in the upper middle-class of America while the economy is shit.

You should see him on the entertainment forums, he's worse than this LJesque post

Way to judge something you have no idea on. Spending habits? Most the time I have trouble affording food. When you owe near 200k you don't get extra cash.

And yes I called myself an idiot for quitting without backup so way to restate. But *gasp* upon further questioning I've found that being unemployed helps me get on a medical program. So I could actually be better off unemployed for right now.

[Kiro]

Why do you owe 200k a year? Student loans aren't that big are they? @_@

[Viq]

Wait wait wait... who the fuck gets a check instead of direct deposit these days?

[MisterBob]

Well, higher tier schools are 40k+ per year, so assuming you had zero income and no scholarships, they'd start at 160k.

Now, that is a ridiculous situation, since obviously you would hopefully mitigate some of that cost.

They could theoretically climb to 200k+ if you were retarded and didn't work on paying them off in your early 20s. (If you ended school at 22, try to have them paid off by 25-26, if at all possible)

[Null]

Its mostly medical, surgery, months spent in hospital, gastrol, all in different states. Would be easier if it was all one payment but when its like 10 different groups asking for an average payment of 80-100 a month it just bones me. Unless I claim bankruptcy.

[Kiro]

I gotta stop bitching about owing money, rofl. 200k makes my shit look like pocket change.

[Null]

When money is owed it sucks no matter the amount. I cornered myself a bit at the start because I was either hurting to much to deal with it or to high on meds so I just tossed all my bills in a bin and screened my every call.
