Should I quit now,or later? |
I have been working at the same salon for about three years. I have quit about once a year. This may sound fickle to some, but in this industry turnover is high, and working at the same salon even one year is somewhat unusual. I have joked with my boss that I shouldn't say I'm quitting but that I'm taking a vacation. I always have done the two week notice thing, which is also not usually done (even though it's supposed to be done). The reason I've kept coming back is b/c I always end up having no choice but to go back to work, and since they've been good to me, and since I've built myself a reputation as trustworthy, dependable, and hardworking, and don't want to have to start buiding a reputation from scratch somewhere else, I go to the same place. Also their pay is better than most salons. It is about to be back to school time! The worst time of the year to be a hairdresser! Having a lot of kid clients ruins my stats (which bonuses depend on), continuing in addt'l details... It sound like to me that you enjoyed your job because of good reputation, good money, good boss, good atmosphere, etc. It sound like you got it made more than most people would have to say about their job. Your job sound like what most people hate. As a jeweler, we hate it when Christmas, Valentine and Mother's day because of so much repair or want something unusual jewelry. Some Cashiers hate holiday because they are so busy with people buying gifts, getting ready for holiday party, etc. I will answer some more after you add more details... After reading your additional details, I understand your frustation especially when it come to children. A lot people who have job that are very frustrated with their clients, customers, etc. Imagine this as a Jeweler we have to make sure that we have make it perfect in customer's eyes. If they don't like it, you have to start all over again. This is a very exhausting job. Cashier have to put up with nasty customers' attitude - ugh - Im not sure if I want to be cashier. Waiter or Waitress have to deal with people wanting their food to be perfect, if it is not perfect or they didnt get what they want, they either yell, get mad and give very bad tips. What I am saying that you are not alone with this frustration of dealing with customers especially children. Are you going to keep quitting every time there is back to school come or Are you quitting because you want to spend times home schooling your children? I understand that you want to quit for home schooling your children. Good luck with your decision. ******************************... You sound like you got your heart set on home schooling your children. If everything is working out with income, then I would go for it. If I have children, I would rather be home schooling my kids. My friend, Sue, have 5 boys at home and she home school her boys. She love it! I am sure your boss would understand your situation of wanting to quit because of your children. I am also sure that he will tell you that you are always welcome to come back to work for him/her. Good luck and enjoy those precious moment with your children! Yes but if you keep quiting then they may grow tired of this and not hire you back!!!! |
