I've decided I NEED to quit my job
vader:
I'll be the first to say, you do not have to take any BS from a manager. Yes, you will have to take criticism and deal with a attitude every now and then, but will not be degraded in any way.
I have had two jobs in the past in which I have stuck up to the owner and manager and I'll it has gained me is respect. You just can't cross the line and show disrespect.
newkillergenius:
Just keep one thing in mind;
The only thing worse than having a job is looking for one. :P

Nobody is bugging me this morning. I was expecting to get a butt chewing for missing yesterday. I turned off my phone all day, and there were apparently there were several field issues that needed my attention too.
I get the feeling that up on my floor, everyone can tell where I stand, and how I feel. I feel like I should at least tell my supervisor that I am looking for a new job and will quit when I get it - in a confidential manner of course. I really like and respect him. Me leaving unexpectedly would end up with the extra load falling on him. I feel I could trust him with that, but probably it isn't such a good idea.
And yeah, I think I'll just keep riding this out until something else pops up. That little voice in my head was freaking me out about quitting. You know, the voice that says "What if you never find another job, and end up a worthless, homeless, Walmart cashier"...that voice sucks and keeps me from doing many things! ;D

do not, I repeat do not give your boss a heads up. It may seem like the sensible/honest/good samiritan thing to do, but in today's world loyalty ain't what it used to be. He may be your buddy, your homey, your compadre but at the end of the day they wouldn't give you a heads up if they're looking to replace you. Let's assume your boss is a good guy. You tell him that you're looking. He keeps it under his hat. When assignments that could lead to outside work/better opportunities arise he can't give it to you because you might be beatin feet soon. When it comes times for raises he can't give you what you're due. He may have to throw a few extra bones somewhere else. He might say Shar's on his way out, I have to compensate Jim because I can't afford to lose him too.

...which is only half as loud as the voice that says "what if you never find a job and your kid has to experience living in your car for a while". That's the one that drives me to constantly take the conservative route even when I want to start cockpunching stupid coworkers. I do have to say, though, that my current employer is pretty reasonable for the most part, even when the work cycle swings to long hours.
