Hi all,

Hoping for a little encouragement/room to vent with regards to my job.

I started a casual retail job about 3 months ago. It's supposed to just be a 'simple, fun' job which I can fit it around my full time studies... The position has caused me more stress and anxiety in a 3 month period than any full time job I've ever had.

The team of people I work with are not very nice, very negative about everything and the training given to me has been very poor. The unrealistic expectations and constant demands from coworkers leave me feeling dizzy all day long. There is no way this job should be advertised the way it was. Very misleading.

Anyway, after far too much lost sleep and my uni studies suffering, I have decided that I need to just quit. I figure now is a good time to send my resignation since it's a few days until my next rostered shift and it will give them time to reorganise the roster.

I just can't go back. It's ruining me! My husband is on board with me quitting and the loss of income won't cause us any major issues...

I still feel uneasy and guilty about the whole thing but my mental health is worth more than a bit of extra money at the end of the day...

Any encouragement would be much appreciated!
