seven people in a year have quit. gee, don't you think something is wrong? we have told them what is wrong, and they just don't listen. people are leaving animals off the treatment sheet and no one is doing a thing about it. not ever getting lunches, or getting them so late. our evaluations haven't been done in so long. all the receptionists make more money though we do more. i don't think i can live off of $7 an hour anymore. so many things i can't just name them. and they won't listen! i am going to start writing things down, like shasta is doing. i am just so tired now...i used to love my job...it has just gotten so much worse. and i don't know if i can wait this out. i am just so stressed out, and we have 8 surgeries to do thursday, and one of them is going to take 4 hours. am i selfish?

Posted by: kimmy at December 22, 2004 7:57 PMHello,
Just a suggestion from one who has worked many, many, many, many, well, you get the picture,jobs over the years. When you are at a point in which you are thinking, "maybe I should just quit," it's time to be searching for another job. It's almost always easier to obtain another job while you are holding on to or working another. If you are worried that your current employer will not give you a good reference, simply find a past employer that will or other individuals that know your capabilities(not your mom or dad). If prospective employors ask you why you do not want your present employer to give you a recommendation, simply tell them. Don't "dis" your current employer (you may come across as a complainer/slacker/dud/all that nasty stuff), simply state your position, and get onto what you can offer your new employer. Yes, I owned my own business for nearly 10 years, so I have experience hiring/firing individuals. As well, I do know that there are some pretty shabby jobs/employers out there. Good luck.
