I quit my job...

[Sevaede]

Aww, do not feel bad! I can certainly empathize with you on the crappy job.

I agree with the "seize this opportunity" idea. Go back to school! Or something else that makes you happy.

I don't know that I did handle it that well. I don't think crying like an idiot would count as such lol! I really hate that about myself. I'm VERY sensitive. In fact - too sensitive. I think if she hadn't have said something degrading I probably wouldn't have been upset. I think I do have a major lack of confidence and it shows when someone belittles me. I do believe the things she says even if deep down I know it's not true. I'm not sure how to just move on and not care what people think of me. My dad is an excellent example for this. He doesn't take crap from anyone, nor does he care what anyone thinks of him. Why can't I have a little of that? For some reason it bugs me when I know someone doesn't like me. Do you think I'm full of it??

I was thinking of applying at a couple Vet Clinics. I highly doubt they would take people off the street with no training but it can't hurt to try. I can't remember if I told anyone here or not, but I'm trying to get into school to become a Vet Tech. I've volunteered at clinics but hands on experience would be the best I think.

Actually, I have to say you did everything RIGHT. You put up with his for a long as you could, you tried, but when you get no support from the higher-ups, you can't put up with much. You did nothing wrong.


I am proud of you for ending this job. I know you loved it in general but all of the crap they put you through was too much. You deserve much more respect than that.


{{HUGS}} and congrats, here's to moving on!

{{Hugs}} I think you did the right thing. Your job was a major source of stress in your life, which you didn't need. You'll find a better job, I'm sure of it. I know how you feel, the times I've been ready to quit my job was because of co-workers. I was told by a manager once that I "didn't matter" because I was "just a bather" (at the time, I'm a groomer now, but every employee should matter to a manager, I had worked there for a couple of years at that point too). Good luck with finding a job at a vet!

They certainly DO hire people without prior experience. I can't speak for Canada specifically...but in general it is a field with high turnover and good work ethic can get you far (even when experience is lacking). Granted you'll start at the "bottom", but that is where you start with most jobs. I say go for it!
