Is quitting your job the right decision??

Hi guys,

I have recently come to the difficult decision of quitting my job. It didn't come easy for me but it had to be done.

The decision of quitting my job wasn't an easy one for me because I really did enjoy working there and staring there I have never thought that I would be quitting. The whole fact if me quitting was advised by many people because I was starting to get health problems and it was the right one for me.

The job itself was good but the fact that I was getting anxiety from it didn't help nor did the fact that my manager always blamed the bad things that happened on me for example on my first ever shift where I did 10 hours and no one was there who could help me out on the tills and because it was before Christmas a lot of people were coming into the store and as I was the only one on the till some things were missplaced and according to her things were stolen, she then without asking me what the store was like during the day she told me off and said that it's my fault that I didn't look out for anything.

But the whole fact with the problems that I had with my manager didn't start on my first day... No it started on the first Interview that I had she played an act that she is soo kind and that her staff like an appreciate her but actually she was lazy and liked wasting my time because she wanted me to come in on a numerous amount of time because she kept on forgeti g about things. So a month after me handing in my cv I was hiered but that didn't mean that I got to start noo she told me that the head office needs to approve my application and then I can start. After 2 more week if me waiting for a reply she finally rang me saying that not all of my papers were signed so I had to go in to sign them and after that she told me to go down and get a feel of the shop to see how I like it and if I could actually cope in the environment. So another week went by and I was invited yet again to another trial day where she said that I can start my first official and at that point I was soo excited because I would finally get to work.

When I came in for my first day I was told that my payroll number hadn't arrived and I'll have to wait to get properly started so when the head office finally rang they said that I can't work there without my payroll number because if anything happens to me than the shop is not insured for me to stay there without a payroll number. 

So finally a month after I got offered the job and when the district manager got involved because my manager wasn't able to get everything sorted I got to start the job and as I have mentioned before my first day was horrible and my second day didn't get better because the manager didn't let anything go and she was being mean to me and also picked on every Amal detail that I have done I correctly. 

On my third day of work I got a nose bleed and it got confirmed by my gp that it is infact from stress and the panic attacks which didn't help anything and my manager didn't take any sympathy to the fact that it was her and her behaviour that caused my health problems. 

She finally rang me telling me that after I asked her to give me small amount of hours she was finding any excuse to fire me and she was giving me employ threats about me being fired and when she rang me she told me to chose if I want to work there or if I want to quit. 

A lot if things were going through my head when I had to make that choice and taking the whole situation into consideration and how I was treated I have decided to quit as my health is a lot more important to me than any job would be. 

Obviously my circumstances were different to what anyone else could go through but I have made the right decision because my panic attacks have slowed down and I haven't gotten one from the time that I have made my mind up about not wanting to work there. 

Hope that my story may have helped you about the decision of quitting and hopefully you guys will explore all of your options before quitting
