How can I quit my 2 maintenance jobs?
Asked by LILLIAN L
I do allot at my night job. I replace all the garbage in the entire store. I bring all the garbage to the dumpster outside and get rid of it along with hundreds of boxes left by the stores night crew. After that I have to clean the bathrooms and fitting rooms. After that I have to run into the parking lot and collect every cart in the entire parking lot. I then have to sweep outside and bring the plants inside. Then I have to bring defected items to the back and put them in crates where they belong. At my morning job it's simple but annoying, you have to walk around with a giant broom and sweep the ile's over and over again for about six hours. I need to figure out how I can get out of these insane jobs? I have a third job in mind its on commision. For my new job I'll be selling verizon fios door to door. I just want advise on a good way to say I quit. The jobs are at pathmart and k mart My name is not lillian it's mike Is it better to be fired or to quit? is selling verizon fios a good job? I live with my mother,father,brother,sister,uncle. I have four dogs,2 birds and many fish. I'm 21, my mother and brother work only one job. I graduated highschool and dropped out of csi college. I have been working these two jobs for over a year. Any phycics outthere if I should quit my jobs?

Best Answer:
First of all, they are not maintenance jobs, their janitorial jobs. How can you get out of them? Quit. Find something better, or stay with it long enough to go to some kind of school so you can do better. I do maintenance work, and I wouldn't even consider sweeping a parking lot or carrying out trash. Learn how to work with tools, how to do some electrical work and plumbing and carpentry. Then you can do real maintenance work. It pays good, the work is not really hard, and it's never boring.

Look for a new job!!!!

sounds like you're not allergic to hard work. That's a great asset. Start sending out your resume to places with positions you think you'd be qualified. Even if they're not hiring (or advertising), you may get an interview, and better yet... hired! A good company to work for is one that has an emphasis on education and will pay for training for you. That will further enhance your skills and opportunities.

I would have to say just quit, You dont mention in your question that you need these jobs. so what is holding you there. Find ONE job that you will be happy at and stick with it.

I recommend searching for a different job that would better suit you. Don't quit until you find the one you want. You have the opportunity to be picky and take only the one that you will be satisfied with. Then tell the boss that you have now that you would like to put in your 2 week notice of terminating your employment with him. Good luck on your new job.

Get an education. While it's never good to be fired (you never want to burn your bridges), realistically it doesn't matter. You can have a friend from that company as a reference or don't even put the job on your resume.

you already have some great answers, just remember selling on commission is just that if you don't sell you don't sell you don't git payed, try the other option on a part time basis, commission work and find out if you can sell, not every body can and you get a lot of rejection, before you sell, accepting rejection as just a part of finding the right buyer.

Sounds like you a re a hard worker. Do you live in the US? If you do, a state or county job is perfect for you. The benefits are the best. SInce you have experience there is a greater chance for yoou to be hired. They also sponsor people who are willing to go back to school, specifically for the nursing field. Don't get fired. Not good for employment record.

If you have a way to replace the income, give proper notice and try not to burn bridges. You may want references for your old employer.

Just give them a two week written notice that reads something like this: Dear______; Thank you for the opportunity to work for your company. I have decided to pursue other opportunities. The last day I am available for employment with your company is _____. Again, thank you for the opportunity to work for_____. Sincerely, __________ I would hand deliver it to my supervisor, offer to train my replacement and ask for a letter of recommendation. Believe me, you might be over them now, but 5 years from now, when there is a job you really want, they might ask you for a 10 year work history. This recently happened to me, and thankfully , I had copies of my letters of resignations and recommendations on file. Good luck to you!

take a look at the jobs that you are doing make a pros and cons list and see what weights the most then stay with the one you feel that you want to be in and then tell the others that you quit but give two weeks notice

There are a lot of things you don't say in your question. Do you have a family to support? Do you have friends and family members who would give you lots of moral support through some difficult times if you were to find something new? What kind of education do you have now? As someone already said, you seem to be a hard worker. If that is not the issue for you, why not try something like labour-worker for a construction company? The pay would be much better and you wouldn't have to go on commission. Once your work ethic is known in the construction field where you live, they'll know they can depend on you for a good day's work and call you! If something like that doesn't work for you ... try thinking of things you really enjoy doing ... and then find ways to make a living doing them. Good luck!
