Are you feeling trapped in a job that makes you miserable? 😞 It’s completely normal to feel unhappy at a new job, especially if it’s not the right fit for you. But is it okay to quit? Let’s explore this dilemma and find a solution that works for you.
### Understanding Your Feelings
It’s important to acknowledge and understand why you are feeling unhappy at your new job. Here are some common reasons why you might be feeling this way:
1. **Misaligned Career Goals**: If the job doesn’t align with your long-term career goals, it can lead to dissatisfaction.
2. **Unrealistic Expectations**: You may have had a different idea of what the job would entail, and the reality doesn’t match up.
3. **Work Environment**: A toxic work environment can take a toll on your mental health and overall well-being.
4. **Skills Mismatch**: If you feel like you’re not utilizing your skills or abilities, it can lead to frustration.
### Consider Your Options
Before making any decisions, it’s important to weigh your options and consider the consequences of quitting your job. Here are some factors to consider:
1. **Financial Stability**: Do you have enough savings to support yourself if you quit without having another job lined up?
2. **Career Impact**: How will quitting this job affect your future career prospects and reputation in the industry?
3. **Emotional Well-being**: Your mental health should be a top priority. If the job is causing you emotional distress, it may be worth exploring other options.
4. **Professional Relationships**: Consider how leaving the job will impact your colleagues and the company. Can you provide a transition plan to minimize the disruption?
### Seeking Professional Help
If you’re struggling to make a decision, it might be helpful to seek guidance from a career coach or counselor. They can offer valuable insights and help you navigate through this challenging situation. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help when you need it.
### Moving Forward
It’s clear that you are in a difficult situation, but there are steps you can take to improve your current circumstances. Here are some tips to help you move forward:
1. **Communicate with Your Employer**: If possible, have an open and honest conversation with your employer about your concerns. They may be able to offer support or suggest alternative solutions.
2. **Explore Other Opportunities**: Start looking for new job opportunities that align with your career goals and values. Networking and reaching out to connections in your industry can open doors to new possibilities.
3. **Take Care of Yourself**: Prioritize self-care and take steps to reduce stress in your daily life. This could include practicing mindfulness, exercise, or seeking support from friends and family.
4. **Create a Plan**: Develop a plan for your career transition, including updating your resume, preparing for interviews, and setting achievable goals for your next steps.
### Final Thoughts

If course, it is always okay to quit!
I think you really have to think about what is best for YOU in this situation…a rule of thumb I’ve always gone with is to never leave a position until I have another position to go to. I do think if you’re this unhappy though, it probably would be best for you to leave and find something that better suits you.
It is absolutely OK to resign. The best way, in my opinion, is to meet with your manager and admit that it’s just not a great fit. These things happen and if your boss is mature, they’ll understand with no hard feelings. If they don’t understand, then I think you should feel even more confident that you wanting to leave is the right decision.
Tough it out and find another job. Don’t quit with nothing lined up. But yes if you’re that unhappy you need to find somewhere you at least tolerate. I like my job but no job is perfect.
Find a new job first before you leave . Start applying for new jobs right now but don’t stay in your current Job.
YOU are not screwing anyone over. Your boss needs to do a better job at planning for absences and coverage. Not your problem. A controlling manipulative boss will make you feel guilty but don’t play their game.
I was at a company for three years when I decided to jump over and try this other company. I’m in software and it’s been so toxic with no support and very poor leadership at this place. I’m almost in tears when I get up and drive in and had a mental breakdown in January.
I missed my old company, the people, my old manager and the positive environment. I reached out to my old manager asked if there was an opportunity to be apart of the team again. Sure enough they wanted me back and I’m starting in a couple weeks.
My point is that you need to do what’s best for you. A company will always do what’s best for the company. A job/career is a third of your life. Don’t be afraid to leave but always leave on good terms. Sorry you’re going through this but do not feel bad about leaving. You deserve to be happy.
Your not allowed to quit a job they will hunt you down.
It’s ok to quit. It’s just a job. But find another one before you quit. Hiring managers will like you more if you’re still employed and leaving your current situation for their job (you’re not out of work and desperate like 99% of their applicants, and you can play up the “I’m happy at my current job but yours was so intriguing and I feel like I’d bring much more value to your org in this position.” Angle, and you couldn’t do that if you’re out of work first).
Find a new job first
Yes!
I was in a similar position few months ago and although I thought about sticking it out but eventually came to the conclusion that it would be unfair to myself, my family and also the company.
So I quit. Was very lucky because only few months later got a job that provided everything that I was lacking at the previous job.
Company where I worked, found someone new in a matter of weeks, so it worked out very well for them too.
I’ve been there before. Just take into consideration if you have a big safety net to fall back on because a search could be long. If you do, you can definitely just put in an early two weeks.
If you don’t have that, I’d begin a job search on days off and network around. I didn’t leave until I had something else lined up and I stayed for 3 weeks at that job. If anything, I didn’t screw anyone over. I was so new that anything I did wasn’t exactly making a huge impact as I was still learning.
Can you stick around for a month or two? And apply like crazy, during interview, say company lied about responsibilities and that your not a good fit.
lol you sound like me.
I started a new job and it’s giving me anxiety and suicidal thoughts. I want to quit but I can’t bc I need money and I don’t have another job lined up. I feel like they’re going to fire me though bc I’m not doing too well.
Occasionally this happens. Either by misunderstanding the job or industry, and sometimes by a bait and switch.
Basically, If you can afford to quit, quit. Leave the job off your resume. If you can’t afford to quit, start looking and stick it out until you find something else.
You already know what to do. It’s ok to leave. Just as long as you don’t burn any bridges with your old job and you have another job lined up, go for it! Don’t burn bridges!
I’m a career coach. Before you even start looking for another job, I would ask you to list everything that makes this job unbearable. Understand that you feelings come from thoughts. If you change your thoughts about this, your feelings will change too. It is possible to turn this around. It is hard to give any specific guidance without knowing what your issues with the job are. You can message me if you’d like.
