(Just for context, I'm 23, still living at home while I save up, only have studied and worked a little online prior to this job)
So, since May I've been working as a supervising Manager, and to be honest, it's not great. I work long hours, 12-13/day, 6 days a week, I don't really make much above minimum wage, the only reason my salary is higher than most other employees, is because I work longer hours. I've almost been here four months, and I'm feeling exceptionally burnt out. I've decided that I'm going to give my notice, 2 weeks, according to my contract, and then I'll be on my way.
I'm planning on furthering my studies by taking a course in something that'll boost my credentials, and give me a bit more to buff my CV. I actually got an interview already with another company, but because of my hectic work schedule, it'll be about 2 weeks until that happens.
My biggest issue with this is I'm feeling guilty about my descision. Mostly everyone in my life, my peers, friends and some family, my mother included, think this place is killing me, and that it's best if I pursue something better.
My father is the only one who fervently opposes this, and will make the time after I leave hell. Good chance he'll throw me out, but I have a plan for that. I'm just torn between choosing to stay at a job that makes me unhappy, doesn't allow me any time to myself at all, can't plan anything, or participate in literally anything, since my one off day is in the middle of the week, or, taking a risk at continuing to study, maybe find something better /land a job after this interview.
I just keep hearing this one thing an olddr friend said, it won't stop replaying in my head. “If you keep doing something you hate just to please someone else, you'll end up hating both them and yourself.”
Idk, just thought maybe there are people here who've experienced similar things, and I'd like to hear their thoughts, and perhaps advice.
