The three times I "quit", one was employer based, the other two were because I just simply had to for better opportunities. It can be tough at first, but often can be a blessing in disguise!

I have never thought it was tough to quit a job and move on to something better.

The only time I had to quit a job was to go to a better job.  I worked at the new job until I retired 32 years later.

I quit  a job that I really liked (World Bazar)  It was  neat  job and loved the customers. But the manger/owner of the store  would not keep his hands to himself. So after repeatedly telling him to quit rubbing   up against me in tight  spaces. I decked him and  quit. Called his wife and told I quit. She wanted to know why and I told her. guess he had  been doing this before.  She divorced him,  kept  half of the stores they owned.  The  next day I had a new job. Was up front  with the new owner as to why I did not  need to give the  other  bus. any 2 week notice. Better job, lot more pay and I loved it.

I did until a company called myself along with others and told us that our jobs was being outsourced overseas and that we had to train them.  That is when I realized that to most large companies you are just a number.

I recently quit my part time job. I do feel bad about quitting my job because I loved it. However my health is declining and I could no longer keep up with the physical part of my job.

I have quit a few jobs. Most recently a law firm I was working at was slowly dissolving. I didn't want to come in one day and find the doors closed, so when people started leaving, I started looking.

Yes, I quit my job of 20 years last summer, I know I was doing the best for me, I had been working on a very toxic environment for the past few years and I need the change, it was really difficult to tell my then manager I was leaving, he got mad and thru a guilt hand on me.  It was stressful but I was so relieve once I left and my new job is 100% better.

Yes I quit a job in 2000 that I had for 14 1/2 years with our local school district.  It paid well and had good benefits but I was miserable there from day one.  I quit and went to a call center where I was very successful and actually enjoyed the work.

Oh lol had a senior moment when I did my reply.  I was miserable for 14 1/2 years and I was an adult with a family and I knew it was time to move on but I still felt bad because my mother believed if you had a good paying job then you don't quit even if the people there were driving you to illness you were so miserable.

lol.  They were outsourcing your job to another country and they wanted YOU to train the people who would take your job?  That is pretty bad.  But I have been in that situation before.  I just didn't know at the time what was going on.  When I figured it out I moved on to something better.

Was this an inbound only call center? Or where you make telemarketing calls?  There are several call centers in a couple of counties over from me.  It is suppose to be inbound except if you are calling "customers". lol.  They are always hiring so I assume they have trouble keeping people working in them.

I know people who have stayed in a job they hated because it paid good.  And I can see that if you cannot get anything that pays as well as what you have.  I know people who have done that.  They hated the job but it paid really well for the area they were in.

But I can see what you are saying - if you are unhappy then you should move on.  Being happy is better than having money.
