To be clear i don't make a habit of doing this, I once left a job after 6 weeks but that was 9 years ago and it doesn't feature on my CV.
I have got another job offer fortunately, just waiting on my DBS to come back but that shouldn't be more than a couple of weeks now.
I dislike it for many reasons- micromanaged, haven't really made any friends as people are all in different days, severe consequences if things go wrong for only a few k above min wage a year, intensive 18 month training that doesn't lead to any sort of recognised qualification or certificate, not enough time to do all the work requested, but not paid for overtime. We're not even allowed to use much flexi for the first year.
I'm encouraged to stay for the pension, and I understand it's a very good one but it doesn't outweigh the negative for me.
I'm very nervous about quitting as there's an expectation that we complete this program and I know it'll be seen as a shock. It states 4 weeks on the contract, however I'm still training, I'm not doing actual work so they'll not need someone to replace me etc. And I was hired as part of a massive cohort, therefore I'm hoping I can leave earlier.
It's really affecting my mental health. I'm not afraid of hard work, I've had jobs that were hard emotionally, physically tiring, longer hours etc and also very boring. Nothing is perfect but I stayed in those ones longer. I can't explain what it is about this job but my mental health is really suffering from it.
Should I just leave once I have the DBS?
