Instant quitting of a job
Discussion
impossible question to answer due to variables in a specific situation..
I have done it before and was in a new job quicker than I wanted to be! I've set myself up financially to not be tied to a job, it's an unfortunate situation that many people who get pissed off with their job are often quite passive individuals who allow themselves to be pushed around at home and at work, a consequence of which is they often have no choice anywhere.
sometimes a little bit of constructive selfishness can pay dividends in sustaining happiness in all areas.
I have a couple of guys who I work with, youngish and very entitled and both of them are total lapdogs, phones going off 2 mins after their contracted hours finish from nagging girlfriends...they're the same ones who want a payrise...to pay for the people who are stifling their progression!

I've applied for over 20 jobs today. Hopefully one will give me a chance. I need a change. I am amazed at how this has affected me mentally. I am not ashamed to say that I am utterly miserable.
Been there too often myself Im sad to say. I think the Labour market is very tough these days, certainly at blue collar level.Its hard to keep chipper, and I dont have an answer other than try to maximise your fun times so work can be viewed as a way to enjoyment.....

I live in Bucks, so anywhere around here, London, MK, Luton, Oxford, basically anywhere that is commutable within around 90 minutes.
Hanslope Park can't be too far away then? Must be jobs there for the FCO or HMGCC either direct or via a defence/IT company - try looking at CGI, Lockheed Martin, BAE, Raytheon, etc. Don't be put off applying by people asking for certifications either, they only mean so much.

Would you consider a move to Wiltshire?
Moving is made harder due to my mrs as she has a well paid job that she couldnt give up really. I guess it also depends on location, job, wage etc. Do you know of opportunities there?b

I've never really given Reddit much time - I'll have to take a look, thanks.dave123456 said:

I can survive for a while, but it does seem the nuclear option to leave a job without one to go to. I've always been told by my dad (lol) not to do it whenever I have spoken of my unhappiness.

Thing is, if I had a bit of support and structure, I'd not be as bad, I could live with (to a degree) the other things. I just want to do my job, and do it well.

Some other service desk roles that aren't listed at the moment. Is that the right sort of role?

Now, this is where I might sound like a bit of a dick but do work out how much of the "I hate my job" thing you have now is because the employer and job is s
t, and how much might be your expectations - please do just take that the way it's intended - I've seen a lot of people go and come back where I am now because the grass actually wasn't greener.If it's genuinely making you feel ill, get out, no if's, no but's

Oh of course, and I know I have been the problem at one of my previous jobs, and I left to avoid further damage being caused to both parties. In this instance though, I know its not me, as none of my team (including managers) are happy, and they are of the same persuasion as me.
Don't rule out remote working as well.
I'm office based and wouldn't want to be home based because I like the social interaction you get from being in an office, however on a purely functional level if I had a monkey who I could remotely command to push the odd button on rare occasions, I can pretty much do my entire job from here in the back garden via VPN.
Just a thought.

I do a mixture at the moment, my role enables me to do both, as it did in my last role as well, and I'd take a new role on doing that if one came up. I am self motivated when it comes to work, I am very happy being busy.I'm office based and wouldn't want to be home based because I like the social interaction you get from being in an office, however on a purely functional level if I had a monkey who I could remotely command to push the odd button on rare occasions, I can pretty much do my entire job from here in the back garden via VPN.
