Quiting Job

[tnshpalmer85]

Have you ever felt bad about quitting a job even though you know it is for the best? You have prepared in advance to quit because it is something you thought about for months, you are overqualified for the current job, but you still feel kind of bad about the fact that you are quitting.

I just had to leave a job I really liked because we relocated.  I understand.  Even though I prepared my boss well in advance, I still felt bad.

Yes quitting is a challenge. When it's for the betterment, then we shouldn't sweat it too much. Sometimes change is essential.

[hawkeye3210]

Yes, I've had that feeling.

[paints]

I've felt bad about leaving some of the people I worked with, but the job itself, no. 

[Rahmanh]

I never quit a job even if I don't like it.

No

I never quit a job even if I don't like it.

So you are still working on the first job you were ever hired for?  And if not and you have had several jobs you were fired from all of them?

Why would you stay at a job you hated?  I have done that before but it was a temporary job and I knew it was ending soon so even though I was miserable I stuck it out.

Yes, I've felt that way. But you have to do what's best for you.

    It is nothing new: Some employees quit their jobs or leave their place of work for many reasons.
    Here are some reasons they quit: Conflict of interest, job dissatisfaction, safety problems or they
    have found a better job or move on to greener pastures. Companies and employers know all the
    reasons their employees leave.

Not at all. I had to quit that job because it was affecting my mental health. Found something better right after that.

It depends on why you quit the job.  If it's for your peace of mind, then go for it.

I had to leave my last job because they wouldn't work around my university schedule. It sucked, but my education is more important. I've just been on here and similar sites - I don't have many "necessary" expenses, so it's easy to take care of myself on a pretty minimal income.

Your education is more important, it's good to hear about people going after their long term goals, instead of the immediate satisfaction of short term ones.   Knock out schooling, you'll have it for the rest of your life

I have in the past. If you are miserable there is no reason to stay. It's not worth it. I stayed at one when I was young and was so miserable I couldn't sleep. I would get up in the morning and my whole body ached because I was so stressed out and tense all of the time.
