New job and I don't think I like it...

Hello. I'm 19. I have been recently struggling a bit the past few months. I worked at Krispy Kreme and held the job for over a year until my boss fired me without telling me when I left for school. I got another job at Tim Hortons. I worked with them for about nine months until I moved back home and decided to take a semester off school. I didn't want to quit Tim Hortons, but I had no choice, as the drive was way too far for only $8 an hour.

I struggled to find a new job, working through temp agencies and not having much luck finding a good job. I've been going through tough times with anxiety and depression lately, too.

I got a third shift job at a gas station paying 9.50. Shortly after being hired there, a Tim Hortons in town contacted me and asked me to work for them, I don't know why or how, but I ended up working for them again but since I accepted a full time offer for the gas station I offered to work part time.

But, the problem is, I realized I love my Tim Hortons job and I hate my gas station job... I am trying not to judge it so soon because I just started but I don't feel it's a good fit... The coworkers have A LOT of drama which I noticed in training. One coworker came over and interrupted my manager who was training me and they stood there for twenty minutes talking s**t about another coworker. ALL of the coworkers fight and some will straight up argue during shifts, including the managers. I've only been there a week and kept to myself, except for when I have questions, and a coworker who I barely even know is already talking badly about me. I also got sick with mono and had a doctor's excuse and a doctor who told me not to work, but I still went to work and talked to my manager about it and she was assuming I didn't want to work even though I still went in with a fever of 103!!!

I don't know what to do. I just started two weeks ago, but I don't think I like it so far. I'm thinking about finding a new job because I feel that if this is how it is going to go, it's not really worth sticking around for and I will be better off somewhere else, but at the same time I don't want to be a "job hopper".... I'm so anxious about this and I keep trying to talk to my fiance about this but he just keeps telling me "he has it worse" and doesn't listen... Please help rolleyes

Hi Hannah, if you don't like the job then look for something else, it sounds like a nightmare place to work, you'd be better off moving on, what's so wrong in being a job hopper until you find something you enjoy? 

Your health is more important than the job.

Sorry to hear your fiancé doesn't listen. If you're not enjoying it then it won't hurt to look for something else. I've been a teacher for 2 years now and am currently trying to decide if it's actually for me and totally feel like a job hopper too but we have to spend a lot of time at work and if we really don't like it then it's not worth it. 

Your health is the priority and it was an awful job that caused my anxiety to return, definitely put your health first. 

If you want to look for something else then do it ☺️ 

I hope you find a good job, good luck with the search x
