Should I go through with quitting my job?

3 months ago I started working at a McDonald's near me.

At first it was pretty fun and I had made friends with all the nice people who worked there but they all left leaving me alone with employees who are either new and haven't adjusted to working in the kitchen which makes my job harder or 16 year old girls with poor attitude.

I'm 20 something, I decided to work there only because I knew they're always hiring, you don't need any special skills or papers and I REALLY hate job hunting so I figured I'd try.

Working there has become a grind, I have nothing against hard work in fact I love it, I'm cool with the pay I didn't expect to make a fortune but I hate the fact that due to lack of employees I often do the work of 3 people which is especially annoying when we receive a delivery that weighs several hundred kilograms and all the help they give me is a single teenage girl who weighs less than a 50 kilo or when we close on weekends and have to prepare the place which means cleaning every machine in the place, all the floors, etc which means I only get home around 2-3 am.

Not to mention two weeks ago when we prepared the place I caught the supervisor sitting and snacking instead of cleaning which was what he was supposed to do so I did his work for him.

And he doesn't even treat me well.

Couple of days ago I told them I quit they were shocked and asked why, I explained that working there has become boring, that without my old work buddies I find it hard to work there.

So hoping you actually read all that, do you think I should go through with it or stay and put up with it because hey, money doesn't grow on trees and whatever the're paying me is better than nothing?

Just a little background, I'm 20, haven't decided what I wish to do with the rest of my life, it is unlikely I ever will because I'm sort of an underachiever with no life goals, I live at home so I don't have any expenses and during those 3 months I worked my ass off so with my previous paychecks and the one I'm about to get I have a couple of thousands in my bank account.

Even though quitting will make me feel better because I won't have to show up for work there everyday, I'm afraid I won't be able to find job.

I'm a hard worker, ain't afraid to get my hands dirty and all I seek is a min wage job to pass time so hopefully I won't stay unemployed for the rest of my life.

sorry for the wall of text.

There are jobs out there that you could do with out much experience that pay well. In N Out since you already have a little food experience, and i just saw something on yahoo that Costco is hiring and they start at 11 bucks. Or how about working as a waiter. My ex got a job at CPK without any food serving experience. If you cant though, get a trade. If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, welding is a good career. A trade school can get you doing that in like 6 months.

Couple of days ago I told them I quit

You said you quit. Stay quitting. Only quitters quit quitting. Don't be a non-committal quitter. Puppies get asthma every time you do.

Seriously though, attempt another job if it bores you. You're young and you live at home. Not bringing home a pay check doesn't mean shelter and food are in danger. Go out and try and get something else if you want.

you should go into video game design if u like video games.

You could always stay at McDonalds while looking for a new job. Just quit when you get hired somewhere better. Or if you really hate it and are financially well off you could just quit now.

If you don't get a higher education, most likely the only places that will hire are places like Mcdonalds. Sometimes in life you got to do things you don't like in order to make a better life for yourself.

Like I mentioned I'm not aiming for the sky, I'm cool with min wage and hard work. I only care about the present while I attempt to decide the future. What bothers me is job hunting, I don't want to stay unemployed for too long.EatShanna

Just suck it up and grind it out til you do figure things out, at least your having some income. Most jobs flat out suck if you don't have skill or experience its just a fact of life.

stay... the hate will help you find other job...

personally i don't think anyone 20+ should work at MC Donald's unless they a manager then it's good job. other then that get out of there...

don't just limit your thought of jobs to "oo i can only get jobs at fast food places." so i won't try no where else.

like my self i work at a mercy hospital... ya already going through your head you need special training right? nope I'm 19 and I'm runner in dietary (person who makes plates and takes food to patians and who does orders for departments. that easy! and i'm sure i get paid 1 1/2 more then any mc d's fliping burgers

hospitals include a lots of unskilled jobs so don't just limit your self to these 15-16 year old jobs

but don't quit untill you got other one lined up thats just foolish

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"]Maybe you should keep that job and go to college, just work at mcdonalds part time?EatShanna

it depends if you go 4 year school... no matter what those first two years are required classes plus if any other at your choice. so you don't have to know...

i just got of high school last year and i had take break from school... but i plan on going next year or spring 11

Ugh, maybe I'll stay. God, If I stay they'll make me a trainer and I'll have to teach all the newbies. >EatShanna

You can always look for a new job while holding that one down.

just quit man. and when u quit go the the mcdonalds and laugh at the teenagers working. :lol:

I don't have too many hobbies, just listening to music, playing games(obviously) and reading.

~~~ get your math skills up and go shcool for programing to make games just idea.

I'm also fond of history but it's not something I'd like to do for a living.

idk but job is job. you can make it fun. history teacher? person who do history tours (citys, musuems ect...

And uh, I like walking. A while ago I went on a walk from where I currently live to my old neighborhood which is located two cities away from me. The whole trip took me 8 hours. @aransom, "Welcome to real life." yeah thanks, not my first job. :P

not sure about walking but maybe if you want be on your feet. Mail Man but what i hear you gotta have map of city in your head to pass the test but idk.
