Did anyone here ever walk out from their job?

[MMears]

I am seriously thinking about taking next week off on sick leave and taking the week to reflect and work on my CV and take it from there.

I was told last week that I could have a lot of this week off. I didn't book the time off. My employer was offering me time off and saying just to work XYZ hours. I had a strong feeling what was happening. They wanted my to work a lot last week and I really felt like it was a carrot and stick approach. There was one day that was just far too long from morning til later at night.

I went into work yesterday and last night I was offered a bed and a tooth brush and to stay the night. I thought maybe I might be finished by now. I work as a nanny and the parents have turned around all this afternoon and kept going out to the shops and to the gym and golf. The two of them had today off work.

I thought maybe half an hour ago I would be finishing up when I saw one parent home but she's gone again now.

Here I am still working and still wearing the underwear and clothes that I put on yesterday.

When the mother came home earlier she was full of a bad f*cking mood too.

I am in work now nearly turning psychopatic. I am not by the way but I am extremely resentful of what's actually happening right now. There's no excuse for this.

Right now I feel like not going back next week's Nd leaving them completely in the lurch to figure out their own childcare going forward because this. I was trying to do my best all day and I am tired and all I got was a bad mood just for her to swing around and leave again.

how long have you worked there?

I you can afford it why stay?

Jeeze OP. They sound awful but have you ever thought of saying no?!

”No I can’t.”

My employer was offering me time off and saying just to work XYZ hours.
Say: “I’m going now, remember I was only working until X.”

Seriously, leave for the day!

Sounds awful. Leave and go where you're appreciated and respected.

Have your coat on and when they walk in, you walk out.

Get a good night’s sleep and consider your options over the weekend.

You definitely need to leave these people though, either immediately or asap. They have no respect and it won’t improve.

Do you have a contract with agreed hours?

You are being exploited. Be thoughtful of your exit and money and just work your way out of the door. You deserve more respect

Have you had a conversation with them instead of sitting simmering?

I was a nanny once and there was a lot of messing around. I tried to sort things out initially but finally handed in my notice a while later. Anyway the Mum lost her temper when I said I'd be leaving and slammed the door after me!

See if you can sort it out but if this continues, find another family. All the best to you.

I did. Things just got too much.

Struggling with a building move (so new people and new teams) where it was just a game of everyone throwing each other under the bus with no teamwork by anyone.

Despite being fairly new to that building at least one person had it out for me as there was a clique and they did everything to fuck me over despite not doing anything wrong. Some of the stuff I was accused of was clearly malicious as I wasn't even at work when I apparently did something.

One day I just went fuck this, what am I doing and typed my resignation. I was going to work my full notice but then some other BS thing happened so I walked out.

Best decision ever. The headache I'd had for weeks went away within 24hrs, I was sleeping so much better, my body had a full reset. Looking back as well as mental, my physical health was also severely suffering.

I get I was lucky enough that DH is a high earner and our outgoings are tiny so I could afford to just do it. If you can ride not having a job out for a few weeks and have a full reset and relax, do it. Quality of life is so much more important
