To leave a job without another lined up?

[frenchfrog17]

I've been at a job 2 months. I'm utterly miserable, and feel slightly bullied. It's not working well round the kids and each time it comes round to being at work the next day I get a sick feeling in stomach.
I've worked since my youngest was a newborn so I'm thinking of just having 6 months or so at home before she has to start nursery next year.

But then it panics me the thought of not having some independence (we can afford it though) but this is really affecting my state of mind.

start applying and stick it out. Practise assertiveness at work rather than putting up with bad treatment. Don’t sabotage yourself. UC will sanction you or you’ll have no salary - neither is good.

Sometimes one day you suddenly get it and it gets better, and sometimes it doesn’t. Either way, valuing your worth is the best option.

Apply with vigour and you'll get a new job in no time. It's too risky to leave with nothing but if it helps, I hated my job in April this year, by may I'd given a month's notice and had fucked them off. Don't suffer but don't cut your nose off to spite your face either.

Sorry you're in this position.

I would normally never recommend giving up a job without having something else lined up, but if it's seriously making you feel ill, and you can afford to quit, then I would.

Yes if it is making you ill or dreading it, get out.

I have savings myself but have jumped twice this year. First, two months after the job I took I detested it to the point of dread and it was a shame but training was just the biggest let down I'd ever encountered, and the second, was one of those work-from-home and providing my own equipment so the company could ignore you, frustration city, after the first week of doing not exactly full-time hours and less than chuffed, I said stuff this for a laugh, I need to get a real job.

Not bad, last job was 3 weeks ago, have had a number of interviews, today I have two job offers (ok one might be zero hours and the other temporary for a couple of months but still getting offers in) and I've already started a temporary assignment as a cover person - the comments already from the client for this have just blown me away, "she seems very competent, lovely and is a calm receptionist" quite make my year, never had any praise from employer/s this year until now 🙂this feedback is better than being paid to a weird extent, it has so been missing.

If you want work, you'll always get it to quote the boss man episode 4 of the Call Centre.
