I don’t like where I work, I want out of the culinary industry. I am an American with a work permit in Ireland; my permit states I must stay with my employer for a year or my permit ends and cannot be renewed…unless I am fired. In my understanding, if I quit I cannot work in Ireland, and if I am fired I can find any job I want rather than a special skills job which I needed to gain a permit in the first place (like chef work). I just want a decent paying, regular hours, weekends off job for once.
I have never been fired before and I don’t want to leave a place in bad taste ever. What should I do?
