I've been there twice. Both times it never got better. I also needed the money more than ever at the time. I held on for two years in one but the whole time I was looking. The economy was bad at the time. Keep looking every day that something will come up!! 

 

You just have to attract it. From now on, pray and have positive thoughts and visualize the new job you want. It's called the power of attraction and it works. Vent here with us who support you but try not to dwell on the negative and only think of the great job you will have soon and before you know it you will have it.

 

If you keep thinking of the negative situation and dwell on your boss you will only attract more of the same. I will send positive thoughts your way. Smiley Happy

 

I just read that you found another job!!! So ahppy for you!!! Smiley Tongue

Re: Help! Should I quit my job?

You get a paycheck for your work, but is there a price for your mental well-being?  I know many of us have been there and can quickly dispense with advice based on what we did or did not do, but your mental health is more important than a paycheck otherwise you cannot earn a paycheck or have a healthy life.  And that mental health is not just for you, but you have a child whose emotional life needs to be molded by a mother who is confident and in good health.

You make the decision and let us all know.......please take care of yourself--best of luck and health to you and yours!

I'm probably late on this, but do 2 columns. Reasons to stay and reasons to go. See which one has the most. This helps to sort it out. Good luck and nothing is worse than a toxic person. She probably hates herself and HAS to be there and takes it out on everyone around her.

I agree whole-heartedly about attracting situations to yourself!

Don't quit unless you can afford it.  Life is about the long term, and almost all of us go through really bad times along the way, but things change!  If this job is something hard, but something you need to do to meet future goals, think long and hard about how much it is worth to you to go or stay.  Everything we do has a price.  And a value.

 

Think about what this will look like five years from now; ten years.

Re: Help! Should I quit my job?

Have been there..... and done that.  It sounds as though you boss is taking her

stress out on you.   Not fair !  Do you think there is some way you can try to

go in with a different demeanor and instead of taking it personal the next

time she barks at you or belittles you, let her go through her rant.   Take a

deep breath and know that it is not you, it is her.   Figure out the best time

to approach her for a meeting with the two of you and tell her how you are

feeling about your job and communications perhaps?   She may need to vent

as well about things that are bothering her.   ?   Maybe she has some things

going on at home ( which is no excuse to take it out on you or anyone)  but

that she may need to get off of her chest.   Worth a try atleast.  

The longer this goes on and you do not speak up about it, the worse it is going

to get.   Try going in with a happy, positive, confident attitude, do your job

to the best of your abilities, every day.   Know that it is not you with the problem

it is her.   If talking to her does not change the outcome, then yes it is time

to look elsewhere.   If it affects your daily life and your happiness and Peace

of Mind it is worth going somewhere else even if that means less pay !

Also... if sitting down and discussing with her is out of the question...... start

looking NOW !
