Made a post last night about how I couldn't really deal with my job but don't have many options. Turns out I was a lot closer to my breaking point than I thought and I called out on my commute and told them I think I am going to quit tomorrow. I've been sort of thinking about quitting for the past few months but honestly this was done on a whim on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
I'm back home now on two hours of sleep and unsure what my next move is. They're scrambling right now telling me I'm a great worker and even are willing to compromise on a couple of things, but I'm still not sure staying is my best move for my future. Sure it's above industry standard pay and good benefits, but it's not like I'm making a killing here either.
Think I'm going to go into the office Friday and ask for 40 hours over 4-5 days a week, and no weekend work period. I'm also going to ask for 8 hour work days minimum as I can't do these three hour commutes for three hours of work on Saturday anymore. I'm also going to ask to be removed from some of my cases because I can't stand the people I have to work with on them. I might not stay anyways but it they can't guarantee all of these things for me in writing then I'm definitely moving on.
Right now they're making it seem like I had a lot of options before going nuclear but the culture suggests wildly different. I'll admit I'm not the best at conflict resolution and that I have a hard time staying in one job, but on this one really feels like they're just milking me for all they can. This is the first week I've called out for any reason besides covid, and I have literally never been late, so I feel like the least they could do is give a consistent employee a consistent schedule.
