Best way to quit my job?

I work at a cinema and my boss has been requiring employees to come in after hours and do the janitors job because all of the janitors keep quitting. We dont receive extra pay for this. Ive outright refused to do this and its gotten by but im tired of the borderline threats to come in off hours for “experience” with cleaning. Whats the best way to quit my job? Is there anything legal I have to do, or can I just say I quit and not show?

Doesn’t make any sense

It truly doesn’t. I’m the only person in my department. I’m the maintenance crew for my company. I have maintenance jobs that I need to be doing, but my manager sends me out with a road cutting crew.. meanwhile my maintenance projects start falling behind. So what does my manager do? He gives my projects to the construction crew, which is at least 6 other guys…. Rather than sending them with the road cutting crew and getting all of THAT shit done quicker… I understand the whole “your job is your job plus anything we tell you we need”, but at this point I’m getting so tired of being basically “forced” into a different position than what I applied, interviewed, and got hired on to do.

NYC Teacher whose time is worth getting fat and 0 cents! I’d love to continue giving back to the community, as I do with some of this country’s neediest children on a daily basis—but sorry, I have to go to my second job so I can afford my rent and student loan payments.

Create a CV/Resume to Make Online Profile to apply to make online profile to apply to never get heard from or get rejected.

I am at a point where I don't care to tailor to a specific job application but rather applying to multiple jobs each day without even looking at job descriptions and requirements. We are already expected to work before actual work in the form of payless personal projects and earning certificates. It is only a waste of time for me to perfect my resume/cv only to do it again on LinkedIn only to apply for a job through LinkedIn only for them to send me an email telling me to applying using some job posting site that I never heard off only for it to have “Apply with LinkedIn” button that doesn't do anything only for me to add and write everything from my resume/CV again. And after all that work, either I will never hear from the company I applied at or get rejected. And employers act all surprised…

During an interview “You’re engaged and in your 30s, I can’t hire you because you should be focusing on having kids. I’m doing you a favor really”.

Due to some circumstances I've had to start looking for waitressing jobs to pay the bills. I've had a bunch of bad experiences so far but the worst has been about 30 minutes ago when I was told I'm too old for the job, the owner said he's looking for a “girl between 18-25 tops but you know, can't say things like that on a job ad these days hurr durr”. He continued by asking me if I was married, I said I'm engaged. He said “well you're engaged and in your 30s even if I wanted to I can't hire you because you should be focusing on having kids and if you get pregnant I'm gonna have to pay your maternity leave. Why should the government punish me for you having a kid? I'm doing you a favor really” Ok you mofo piece of sh1t. You're in a position…

Being Written Up For Calling Out Less Than 2 Hours

I am the hostess at a restaurant attached to a hotel. Let me preface, I actually really like my job, the pay could be better but it's not bad but the hours are great, even in the off-season, and they have really great benefits, and management has always been straight with us. I hate our Call-Out policy. Ours is 2 hours advance, minimum. Our restaurant opens at 7:00am, my shift starts at 6:30 am. I get up at 5:30 am. The manager for the morning is also scheduled at 6:30 am. If the 6:30 person calls out we're supposed to call front-desk so they can leave a message with the time of our call and then we also email to GM of the restaurant as well. Today, and I mean right now, my bowels have decided to go all Ark of the Covenant on me and I've been stuck in…
