To leave a job after only 6 months?

[apollopink]

As stated in the title I've only been at this job for 6 months and for most of it I've been bloody miserable. Its only part time but when I'm at home I find how much I hate it consuming my thoughts.

Its a job that requires qualifications and registration which we have to fund to be able to work, but its barely above minimum wage.
We often run late at lunch and at the end of the day, which is not paid (I'm paid hourly)
The jobs I need to do on a morning require me to come in around 15 minutes early else I physically wouldn't be able to get them done, again not paid. If I turned up on time I'd be looked down on by other members of staff if I didn't manage to get them done before the 9am start.
We have to be on call during some weekends, of which we only get paid if we are called out, meaning I have to restrict my weekend/bank holiday/christmas day for potentially no pay. If we are called its a minimal amount.
The journey is a pain, as is parking.
There's some low level work place bullying which I've had some directed towards me, several members of staff have left before me which I'm starting to see why.
It can be long, stressful days which has started to cause me some back problems due to having to be in the same position for prolonged periods of time.

I can manage without a wage for a while with no issues. Would you leave before finding another? The night before I'm due to start I feel sick to my stomach. I have young kids so there is no reason I couldn't be a SAHM for a while, I choose to work part time to have a bit of independance and to help with my mental health, but this is having the opposite affect!

It sounds awful, just go. Life it too short. If your next employer asks, just say something like, the reality of the position was dramatically different from what I was told it would be, I thought it best to leave.

Life is too bloody short to be miserable in job which you spend so much if your life doing. I’m leaving mine after 7 months as it’s making me miserable - I’m lucky in that I have something I can move into through contacts, but even if I didn’t, I know my worth and so should you. It’s not worth that Sunday night dread.

That’s awful expecting you to work unpaid. Definitely leave you sound like you know your own mind and you have had enough. You don’t have to put the job on your cv just keep it off and say seeking employment. Often employers talk jobs up x just go and hand your notice in and keep looking for something you can tolerate. You spend along time in work has to have at least one positive to it.

Hand in your notice on Monday.

Yanbu to leave, but would get a job before leaving.

I'm pretty much guaranteed a job from April as my old manager and good friend runs a cafe and says a job is mine once it opens should I want it.

The only positives are that its not every weekend (the on call weekends are about 3 a year but still so annoying I have to limit 3 weekends for potentially no pay) and that the boss is really nice, but I actually think thats a detriment as well as a positive as it means the slightly less nice members off staff are able to get away with and speak to others how they wish.

I think I'll type the notice out now.
