My job is seriously starting to get to me.
Every day I fucking dread going, and I'm becoming suicidal. I've applied to other places but haven't heard back from any yet, and I work tonight but Im dreading it so much I don't know what to do. There's a lot of reasons why I just want to quit, but I'm scared I won't be able to use it on my resume to get my next job.
Help me guys, I don't want to feel like this anymore.

Bump for help :(
What do you do for a living?
What about it is causing you stress?
I'm a server.
It's a multitude of things. Firstly I hate the clientele. We have a huge following of pajeets because we have curry sauce, and I despise them so fucking much. They are rude, don't tip, smell bad, and do disgusting shit. I understand people suck everywhere, but they are seriously beyond trash and I have to literally bribe the host to not seat them to me, which they do anyways because so many fucking come in. I can only work nights, and that's their fucking prime time. They flood in like cock roaches and I actually make less than minimum wage because they sit there for hours and leave me nothing. If they acted decent and didn't tip, whatever, but they don't. I've worked at shitty places and dealt with people of all colors and creeds, but it's just fucking ridiculous here. I'm ready to legitimately snap on them and lose my shit.
The second part is management. I was there until 3am Saturday cleaning and the manager did fucking nothing to help, none of them do except one that doesn't work nights like I do. I'm always there super late because they cut people too early and only have one person close the dining room, so I have hours of extra work because people still come in and I can't get anything done. Third is they threaten to schedule me less of I don't get enough people to sign up for their faggot rewards program. If I don't have a certain percentage of people signed up that I serve, they write me up and make me do training videos and courses. Fourth is the kitchen. Holy shit, the kitchen. Sometimes the food will take a half a fucking hour to come out, even when we have like 8 fucking people in the kitchen. They fuck up constantly, the food is cold, and I make less money because of it. Not to mention the head chef (who is competent, but all the other decent people have literally quit since I got here) is leaving, so there that goes.
You have a job, make the best of it while you find another one. The point is right now you have an income, which is the key point to holding on to some semblance of stability.
Lose the job, lose the income, and you'll find that you'll be in an even worse place pretty soon. Jobs that you can't apply to now will be even more difficult to apply to when you have to worry about not being able to pay for your rent or your next meal. The longer you go unemployed, especially in your industry, the less likely that anyone will hire you.
If you're desperate to leave, double your efforts to try and land another job, any other job that you think you have a chance at. But by no means give up the job you do have, or else you're just walking head first into a hole. The only situation when you should up and quit is if you have a near foolproof escape path. If you have no escape path, leaving on a whim is just about suicide.
user :(
get enough experience here then apply to a fancy restaurant. lie about how long you've worked if you have to.
I know exactly how you feel, I worked at a shitty seafood restaurant and dealt with niggers all the time. It's not worth your soul user.
Bummer.
Try trade school, skill up for a better job. Just having something to look forward to in the future can be a great help.
Also:
1) get out in the sun.
2) exercise.
3) stop eating so many carbs
4) Find some real friends.
5) find a distraction better than Jow Forums, which is depressing.

Im trying to start my own business, it's not like I'm just sitting here doing nothing.
>1) get out in the sun.
I hate the sun, makes me break out
>2) exercise.
>3) stop eating so many carbs
I'm not unhealthy, and I do a lot of exercise at work. "jus werk out Bro" is a meme
>4) Find some real friends.

Working on both
I applied to multiple places. I have restaurant experience but it's all spotty because they were fucking awful. This shit seriously makes me feel suicidal dude, I don't know if I can hold out until I get another job.
It's not like I would stop applying to places, and I have been. This shit is just bumming me out dude, I fucking dread waking up every day because I fear quitting because muh resume. I know I can find another job, and I have money for rent and such, but muh resume.
First, I want to say that OP sounds like a bottom of the barrel racist piece of shit with no aspirations, but second, I want to say that this is horrible advice propogated by parents who grew up in a different time.
I have quit most every job I've ever had and have come out ahead. It takes strategic thinking, and real goals, but you're doing yourself no favors by sticking with a job you HATE and jumping to another just for the sake of leaving - you'll find yourself in the same set of problems, feeling like you need to stay for a year or more because those are "the rules."
If you can afford to leave and move to the right opportunity, do it.
>First, I want to say that OP sounds like a bottom of the barrel racist piece of shit
fucking lmao. get over yourself
It's not worth killing yourself over, you seem level enough to recognize that at least.
>racist piece of shit
t. Pajeet
I know it's not worth it, but I feel so trapped. I just don't want to quit because I'm afraid I can't put it on my resume.
>I just don't want to quit because I'm afraid I can't put it on my resume.
sure you can. Employers are obligated to only say
>yeah he worked here
because if they say literally anything else it opens them up to slander lawsuits and such.
besides, if you absolutely have to, you can add a restaurant that you know shut down, that way there's no way to contact your "former employer", but you really don't even have to do that. You can absolutely put it on your resume.
>Every day I fucking dread going, and I'm becoming suicidal.
Then fucking quit user. I would not work at a place like that. I just quit from a body shop where I dreaded going to work every day because the people there were such fucking morons that could not communicate and had unreasonable expectations that forced me to constantly work twelve hour workdays. After getting some panic attacks and 3 nervous breakdowns, I left an envelope and resigned. But, luckily for me, i have thousands in savings. If you don't start saving and focus your energies on studying for some certifications or whatever, knowing full well you can resign at any time. You do not have to give those cunts 2 weeks. You can give them 2 seconds if you want. Just know you will burn every bridge at that place. But if everybody hates you there already, who gives a damn?
>There's a lot of reasons why I just want to quit, but I'm scared I won't be able to use it on my resume to get my next job.
Don't sweat it. Just direct them to central HR. Use the secret phrase when asked why you left:
I am looking for better career prospects, professional growth and work opportunities
After a few XXXXXXXX in the XXXXXXX industry, I want a change in career direction
>in the XXXXXXX industry,
I don't think OP wants to do porn
Hooorraaay I found a person like me,
I feel for you brother I am in the same boat.
Fuck work
Are you sure that's the only thing they can ask?
there's a possibility that they can ask for employment dates, so that's where plan B with the shut down restaurant comes in.
For good measure though I would still put in a two weeks notice, leave gracefully just in case they do say that you left without notice, but I wouldn't worry too much about it, especially if it's as bad as you say and you absolutely feel as if you cannot last two more weeks.
I've asked multiple HR people I've known, including a close friend. Legally, they can say what they'd like about you as long as it is not a blatant lie. A lot of bigger companies will only say a person worked there and for how long.

Man I'm at work now and don't even know if I can last the fucking night. I'm so frustrated dude, this isn't a way to fucking live.
Well I've been here for like 3 months, I'm trying not to lie about employment dates but I honestly don't know exactly when I started and stopped. Maybe I can go through my bank history for my checks? I just know employers don't like spotty people, and I hop around jobs a lot because most are shit.
>Well I've been here for like 3 months,
then just go for it. worst case scenario in your next interview, they ask why you left, be straight with them but smart about it, obviously don't mention the poos.
>poor management
>low quality food
>inept staff
etc.
Hey frens.
Decided I'm just gonna cut down to two days a week until I find something else. That way I'm still making a little bit of money and I can put it on my resume. Thanks for everyone's help.
