Would you quit your job or not if you were in my shoes?

Well i am a waitress, probably at the most busiest diner or restaurant in my area so i make really good money...about $600 a week.. i dont know if i will be able to make the same amount of money anywhere else.. unless i travel to NYC every day its about a half hour away on public transportation.



im just not happy anymore at my current job. i have been working there for about 2 and a half years, and im 21. A couple of the people that I work with really get to me. Like 2 of the waitresses there that are total b****es i think they think their sh** doesn't stink. Sometimes, being there is just misery for me. I only talk to like 2 other waitresses there.. Which I have worked with for such a long time, we're close, and I think that if I say I'm gonna quit, they'd kill me. Also, I love my managers! We joke around, and theyre even cool with us being on our cellphones at work... We have a good relationship.. Also, there is this cook that I am getting to know, we flirt a lot, and text occasionally.. I'm afraid that if I quit my job, we may loose contact. And I really like him.



What should I do?!

My sister says that if I go to NYC for work (I am in NJ, but very close to the city) I will make a lot more money, like double. In the theater district, fancy restaurants.Would you quit your job or not if you were in my shoes?
I agree with your sister you would make a lot more in NYC. But you'd have to take commuting costs into consideration. The train can get pretty expensive if you take it 6 days a week. But you shouldn't quit this job until you have another one lined up.



By the way I don't think you should quit because you don't like some of the workers, I think you should quit because you would make more money in NYC. You are really lucky that your manager is cool and easy-going. A lot of managers aren't and it's better to suck it up about the bad co-workers because at least you have a good manager. Good luck!Would you quit your job or not if you were in my shoes?
I would stay. This job has so much going for it.

These 2 won't stay forever.

You could get another job and still find people there whom you don't get on with.Would you quit your job or not if you were in my shoes?
Ohh my God!

I've been there!

Believe it is greedy and does fall collapse.

Stay where this and study for four years in a course or college.

learn a new profession in spare time, oh yes you can try life in another job.



Consider the risks before you try, it must have factors such as investment in knowledge and skills, go to another city just by paying more is not always good, where you are is more stable and you should first make a profession, can sometimes earn more be trap!
Well, I live on Staten Island, so I live nearby, and I say DON'T QUIT. This is a personality clash, and you are in a good power position. You have friends among your associates, a nice relationship with a nice person and it's kind of coming along, and your boss likes you. Plus you have been there 2.5 years.



Why would you let people who are not in as strong a power position as you drive you out?



As for Broadway, etc -- yeah, you could make more money in the theater district, provided you can get a job there. Competition is stiff under any circumstances, but the economy is about to take another nose dive, competition will be worse, and people may not have the disposable income to spend in the theater district.



I was in a situation where I was forced to quit my job. I really had no choice. IF I had stayed, my situation would have been worse than the worst-case scenario gamble I had to take by leaving. So I know whereof I speak.



There is no reason for you to leave this job. You are in a strong position. If you leave, you have no guarantees that you are stepping into a better situation, and if the economic downturn that seems to be coming, does come, you will be the first one let go. And then where will you be?



Your income is good. Your job is secure. You can move up the ladder once this recession is past, but for now, just build tenure and experience.



What you need to do is solve the problem of these babes that are driving you nuts. Clearly they want you out, so don't be silly and given them what they want. Can you get beyond your emotions about these 2 and figure out how you can nail them? Be as heartless as they? Don't be snipey about it. Be professional. Are they good at what they do? Do they screw up? Do they cause trouble for other people? Do they make the workplace hostile?



Try and put together a good argument for getting them pulled onto the carpet and getting a knot jerked in their tails. Enlist your friends at work in this effort, once you have some objective, non-snipey, non-petty real no-kidding issues that relate to job performance, reliability, appearance, customer service, etc.



You can do this. You have the power here. You need to drive them back or drive them out, to take control of the situation. I don't know what the details are really, but I suspect you can do something.



Good luck.
