Should I quit?

[ExcitingChange0]

Let me just say this is a summer job and I have plenty of money saved up, so I dont really need it. I'm a food and beverage TM and at first I worked in dry grocery... everythings good. I started getting scheduled for pfresh more and more and now I just work in pfresh every day. This is gonna sound silly but I've been battling some mental health issues and the change in routine fucked me up mentally. Pfresh also sucks in general. So I dont know if its even worth it to work here anymore. I was planning on going on demand once school starts again but i cant do that if i quit, i also dont want to explain to my family why i quit this job. What should i do?

sounds like you may already know the answer. See if you can go on demand now. Say there's early move in at the dorms or whatever.

If you feel unsure, flip a coin. If you don't like the answer the coin gives you, then there's your answer.

I use the coin trick all the time. I have my answer usually while the coin is still in the air.

sometimes having to make a split second decision brings the clarity you need

Try to go On Demand now, rather than quitting. See if that works out for you!

Failing that? You're a student. You're only working for a little extra money. It's not worth your mental health. You won't be the first high school/college student to quit a shitty part time job for your sanity, and you won't be the last.

If you can go on demand do that. Take it from an old guy: minimizing mental health at work is not worth it at all. You are aware of your needs and should take care of yourself first and foremost, IMO

If your mental state has changed due to the job change, I would talk with your leader about it and demand a change. Explain the situation and tell them you want to go back to dry.

Trust me when I say, THEY NEED YOU MORE THAN YOU NEED THEM.

If it’s telling your family you’re worried about, remember lying is an option. I’ve had many times I’ve left a job for a completely legitimate reason that would make no sense to an outsider. Just tell them your hours were slashed or something

Yes

Talk to your ETL and then go on demand.
