My job is detrimental to my health.
I cry every Sunday night and my feet hate to carry me through the front door of my work.
I can’t do it anymore.

I feel stuck with no more growth prospects, nothing new to learn and incompetent colleagues that I cannot learn anything new from.

I have set “exit dates” every few months for the past two years.
I have explored all departments of my company that interest me, and I do not want the job of anybody in the building. I do not want my boss’s job.
When I am not in the office, I am happier and more focused. My mental juice is exhausted by the end of the day which makes working on my own endeavors difficult.

The banking profession is not for me.
I am trying to change my career field, but feel as if all of my hours spent working are leaving little to no time to invest in building the skills I need to make the preparations to go into a different field.

I don’t want to give the best of myself needlessly.

It’s a telemarketing job. I really just started, but I feel like a horrible person by bugging people all day. It’s making me feel like the most annoying person ever even though I’m technically a robot.
I have ringing in my ears from having headphones on constantly and I’m not even doing what my boss says really. When someone tells me to take them off the list of people we call, I tell them “no problem!” and do so immediately. They always seem much friendlier that way. I mean the customer is always right I thought, but technically we aren’t supposed to do that.
Another reason I want to quit is because the company records all the calls for ‘training’ purposes, yet they don’t actually have that little robotic audio come on before my calls are connected to let the 2nd party know they are being recorded. I only know, and in the state of Pennsylvania, it’s illegal to record phone conversations unless BOTH parties give consent.
Another probably minute reason I want to quit is, because I had one call where the guy wasn’t even alive. I felt awful. Also, I don’t technically “need” the job. I live with my parents, so I don’t have to worry about bills. I plan on going to college in 9 months though, so it’s going to be a while. I would rather just not go back and find another job.
Management is treating me with no dignity. For their amusement, they made me clean all four bathrooms and when I was cleaning them, I realized how degrading my job is. At that moment I planned to quit.
