Antiwork

Slightly expanded: Interviewed for a role, was called back for THREE interviews, finally got an offer that was 10k below my asking salary and also below my CURRENT salary. I responded citing current rising gas and grocery prices, my extensive experience in the field, and the fact that it was actually a pay cut from my current role as reasoning for why I am asking for $10k more. Response was “Sorry to hear you’re turning us down, salary is non negotiable, good luck” Rage, why would you waste my time, making me leave my job on three occasions, when you knew my salary expectations from the beginning.

Like the title says, I’ll have to give my manager my resignation tomorrow. My current job is quite far from my house and the uber charges are way too expensive. The job is also extremely boring and slow paced which is something I can’t handle. I have to be working the whole time I’m there, not standing around and watching the clock. I’m so anxious about doing it tomorrow, I feel like a horrible person for doing it but I honestly can’t handle being there and would just walk out if it wasn’t a potential future employer. Any advice?
