Should I quit the job that I absolutely despise today or wait a few more weeks?

Hi, so, basically I fucking hate my job and I really tried doing it for the longest time and did my best but I just can't do it any longer. I dread waking up every morning and spending the day stressing about work, having no time to do anything. Next week, there's a trip prepared and I'd rather shoot myself in the head than thinking of spending another week even MORE stressed about work.. But I haven't found anything yet or applied to anything. I've been thinking about this for so long but haven't had the guts to actually do it. Help?

May be off topic

Has any noticed how on point mr.crabs is to the corp world -Only does what's needed to keep from being fined -Pinches every penny to maximize profits. -Doesn't offer overtime or time off of anytime. Comes up with anything possible to maximize profits. Complains constantly about lost revenue. Anything possible to avoid any type of refund. Tried to kill/hide him to fake employees death(squidward) to make a profit off of his paintings when he died. The more I watch him now the more I see it in how he acts.

Employer will “call me at some point between 3-6pm EST for an interview”

Is this normal? Do they really expect me to be on call for them to potentially call me for three fucking hours on Saturday, one of my two days off? As if I don’t have any fucking life at all and can just sit around anxiety-ridden waiting at their beck and call? All for a (probably unpaid) internship over the summer.

Got work hours cut from schedule

I know this sub is about doing less work but I’m barely getting enough hours to even pay for my bills, to summarize it’s been my 2nd consecutive day of being called in, working for an hour or two, and being sent home due to “labor hours” and “lack of customers”. During those two days however the night was starting to get busy as people started coming in. The general manager and senior manager were the ones who sent me back and I don’t know the owner or district manager Anything I can do about this?

Questions on my rights as an employee

So I work as a receptionist/ adoption specialist at a shelter, flash back about a month ago close to closing for the day a man came in with a bag of raw hides to donate, we can’t use rawhides, which we were going to tell him but his pushy very off vibe made us feel maybe we should just accept them. He wanted us to let him into the kennels to give the dogs the treats, which we can’t do and let him know. He accepted that and mentioned he was going to volunteer at the shelter before he left. I asked his name before he left and politely said I’d look out for him. After we closed my coworker and I called our volunteer manager up front and told her hey this guy came in said he was going to volunteer kinda was being pushy and making us uncomfortable,…
