I gosh, my adrenaline is pumping,I was in a sales role, coming up for my 2nd month and it was getting tedious, made no money got spoken to like shit off staff and management, cold calling businesses (I felt like scum of the earth and so guilty for pestering) so got shouted at by them...never felt so miserable. I actually cried on the first day back from the Easter break....

I went to the funeral of a friend recently who died of cancer and she was only in her 40s....I think made me realise life is too short for this kind of stress.

Cant believe I've pretty much walked out of a job.

Well done, protect your sanity

What next?

Well I'm booked in at the docs this afternoon. I think its time to get back on beta blockers too. I suffer from ptsd and I'm very sensitive at times.

I'm going back into working in admin and quality control. Job interview lined up for on Thursday that I applied for before I walked out! Xx

Good for you - you have done exactly the right thing. Everything crossed for Thursday’s interview

You've answered your own question.
Life is far too short and indeed precious.
Nothing is worth your sanity.
Sorry to hear about your friend.Flowers

Sorry about your friend, such a loss does make you re-evaluate life - hope a new job will come up for you soon.

Was it minimum wage or commission only?

Sounds grim.

Isitrainingihadntnoticed · 30/04/2019 12:12

Min wage....full time for something that hardly pays the Bill's as well.

If it paid well then ok but no....

Commission was actually pretty shit too
