What would you do? Should I quit my job?

Question

I work in a call center, taking inbound calls for technical issues with cable tv service, and billing calls and we're also expected to sell. I hate selling. I HATE this job. I've been here for 2 and a half years now, and I'm sick of it. I dread it everyday, I sit there in-between calls and I delay as much as I can in taking the next one. The customers are all idiots and I'm bored of the job, and would much rather be working in data entry or something like that, like I did before. Or as a dispatcher...

My girlfriend would, of course, freak out if I quit. She's afraid of change for some BS reason. Well, SHE'S not the one here all week long. She actually stays at home all day and is on SSI so she has no idea what it's like. She tries to be comforting and reassuring and everything, but the reason she wants me to stay here so bad is so my hours don't change because she likes my schedule and, as I said, hates change. I was about to quit and go to an interview doing something I like for the same pay, and we almost broke up until I gave up on it and cancelled the interview.

So yeah, now I resent her every d**n day I'm here and I hate it here more than I did before. I'm 27 years old, I've been with her for 3 years. Any suggestions?

Answer 2

You should quit your job if you don't like it. Your girlfriend has nothing to do with it, If change means that you can be happy, go for it. Your girlfriend will just have to adjust to the change. Four years ago, I went through the same decision. I was comfortable in the job I had and I thought I had friends who cared about me. I worked at a movie theater

and dealt with a lot of the customer service BS you've gone through. When I moved on from that, it was one of the hardest decisions I had to make but it had to be done. My life is better now and the job I have now pays about five times more than my old job. Follow your heart.

P.S. If your girlfriend isn't working and telling you what to do what your job, you need a new girlfriend.

your going to self destruct at this pace, something has got to give. either find a new passion about your job that will get you through the day, or get a new job you like more, and possibly a new girlfriend.

at the end of the day, you need to make yourself happy, and if your girlfriend cant understand that, then she's not in your corner so look for somebody else who is.

U can go for data entry/copy writing/ form filling/freelancing jobs.

Answer 5

1st of all she's depending to much on you thats why she's yelling. 2nd You do what makes you happy, But make sure you have another job befor you quit. If she wants to break up with you because you quit let her go, ask her which is it, is she a gold gigger, or is she worried that with your change in schedule you might get in the way of what she's doing while you are at work. I saw that show cheaters! Let her go. Be happy there are lots of women out there.

Answer 6

Being partners and making decisions together is good, but I wouldn't let her run your life.  Get a job interview and if you land a better one be happy, she'll just have to get used to your new schedule.

Answer 7

seriously, there is no reason to be miserable at work.  I worked a similar job, doing tech support for a cable company.  My *** hurt from sitting, my head hurt from thinking of different ways of saying the same d**n thing over and over.  It sucks.  Your girl should want/need you to be happier.  If you can make the same or better pay somewhere else she is wrong to keep you from that.  

good luck!

Answer 8

Dude, I've been this situation. Well I didn't have the girlfriend who didn't want me to quit my job but I had a job that I dreaded going to every single day. I would just watch the clock in anticipation of the day to end, and all I could think about every work day is how much I wanted to quit this job. So I did, and it is something I do not regret at all.

So my advice for you is to quit. If you're able to go a bit without working then I would recommend quitting as soon as possible but if you need work then start your job search now.

About your girlfriend, if she really cared about you then she wouldn't want you to be at a job that you dread. If you're going to be making the same pay then she shouldn't have any type of problem with it.
