a couple of years ago, i quit a job after my contract for the season was up. quitting jobs has never been a big deal for me because my jobs are shit. as soon as it doesn't work for me anymore, i'm out. i thought everyone was this way but, leaving, i was so surprised that other coworkers seemed to believe this was all they could ever do. the common belief was that maybe one day they'd be manager or something and this shit would all be worth it.
manager or not, as long as you stay, all it's going to be is more of the same. i recently left another job i'd been working for a year now. telling this to acquaintances when they ask how work is going, i honestly feel like i'm some kind of criminal now.
what it comes down to for me is that i make almost as much money not working as i do working, and this is without any government benefits or handouts. like, i have no money coming in right now and it makes as much difference to me as if i were getting my usual $1800 a month from working. even when i'm working i can't afford a car, an apartment, children or anything that costs money. with this lifestyle, what's my overhead? practically nothing. when i'm working, i save it all anyway. i don't live paycheck to paycheck, instead i barely live. i can come and go and quit whenever i feel like it.
