I have interviewed hundreds of applicants for jobs. Odds are if you left your last job of 10 years because your boss wouldn't give you one additional day during a period when by company policy you couldn't take any days off you wouldn't be getting the job you applied for. How would he truthfully answer the question "Why did you leave your last job?"

Sorry you were so offended Jamie

MacMan... could you have gotten someone else to cover your shifts? Seems like a silly thing to step down from your job over something like that. That said, there must be other issues (like the fact that you make $10.50 for the last 5 years) that have built up and are making you ready to leave. I hope you find another gig.

You didn't mention either of those things in your first post.

He would get the same story for trying to take off....clients need you blah blah blah. If he does quit, I can support the fam though so I really don't care if he does. My job is so the opposite. I am a doctor in a 2 doc practice and my partner and I swap when we want to be off, and most weeks I work 3 days. Just my 2 or 3 cents.

I agree 100%.....money isn't everything! Life is way too short to be distressed by stress. I just quit a twenty yr career of teaching special education because of the stress. At the very end not only myself, but my other two colleauges as well, were working 16 hr days Monday through Friday and 8 - 10 hours Saturdays and Sundays. No lie!

I feel so much better! I can feel the energy coming back to me. I felt horrible physically and after I quit I no longer was in pain, had indigestion, and started sleeping at night. I have options so I am not worried.

Well Man, I wish you all the best. It takes balls to walk away from any job, It's never easy & most people don't have the courage. It's always a controversial decision to quit. But its sounding like you had multiple issues coming to a head.

"Keep that fury deep inside you
And wish it to end
And when your friends start asking you why
You just say nothing"

I think Stevie should pay the rest of this year's salary. That's the least she can do...

Good luck to you!

Not sure that I would ever disclose to my employer that I was needing/wanting to take time off to follow a rock star/band/sports team whatever around.... First, it's none of their damn business and second, it doesn't matter what you want the time off for, if you're entitled to it, you're entitled.

I understand about a job that sucks the life out of you...you do get held in by the "golden handcuffs" (ie good money) for a time, but eventually, the toll on your mental and physical health and the impact to your family life aren't worth it. (not saying that's necessarily your situation, but certainly at times has been mine)

Sounds like this was less about Stevie and more about an employer who only grudgingly let you take time off. I've never been a fan of that Puritan work ethic BS, so eff 'em.
