New Job

englandkid by englandkid · Apr 21, 2006 · 190 views · Journal

I need a new job!! I have been working at a law firm for a year (on may 2) and I can't take any more. I feel as if in another month I'm going to have a nervous breakdown and some of my coworkers are also worried about me. My boss (Senior Partner) needs a class in Anger Management, and everyone else in my office just screams back at him. I dont scream at him ovbiously, but sometimes I feel that if I did, I would be able to handle the stress better. Everyone in my office wants to quit, including the other partner. My office manager asked me about a month ago if I was going to leave, but I told her no. At the time, I sincerely meant it. My boss's secretary quit, and while they looked for someone to replace her, i was doing her job, my job, someone else's job (who quit in Sept) and answering the phones! Even though my boss's secretary came back, she is not pulling her weight, and the pressure is still intense. Not to mention, I dont handle screamed at well! So point is, I need a new job and STAT! However, I feel that this is the worst time to quit, because I may get a raise next week. But I just want to get out so badly I dont even care about the raise!! I dont even want to be a Paralegal anymore. If anyone knows of any availble positions of any kind, please let me know. Also, if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know that too. Thanks! By the way, Ill buy anyone who helps me find a job TWO DRINKS!

sounds exactly like my old job

get out, get out, get out - as fast as possible

i was at my old job for about 2 years, the first year was bad but the second year was worse, i seriously would just be depressed about life and discouraged about everything!

i knew my only way out was to start my own business because there really aren't a lot of job options in this area, so that's what I did

if you can do that, do it, but if not, i'm sure there are other jobs in your area that you can do somethiing similar but be APPRECIATED and not have to go through so much stress

In May it is going to be ONE YEAR since I quit my job, and I think I'm like 200% healthier and more relaxed and just happier about life in general because that was just an awful environment

fast as you can, free yourself
