Should I Quit My Main Job?

[Izzel]

I'm (26F) currently working two jobs, my main job is Team Lead at Walmart (18hr), and my side job is a server.

The only reason I have two jobs is so I could save money faster, however over the last few months I keep thinking of want to quit my team lead job. I struggle to get out of bed some days and I've called out twice this month just because I couldn't stomach going into work. With the lack of staff and a manager that micromanages me, I feel like no matter what I do at work it's never enough and ever since I got my Team Lead job I've gained like 30lbs and I honestly I never feel like doing anything productive/active anymore because I'm just tired by the end of the day.

I'm hesitant to quit, because In March I'll be getting my yearly bonus and it'll probably only be like 3k. Would it be stupid to give that up? March is still so far away and honestly the holiday seasons are going to be rough I know it.

I did the math and if I go full-time as a server I will still be able to pay my bills comfortably.


I feel like I'm having something like a quarter life crisis, I know I don't want to be at Walmart for 5+ more years or in management.

Go for the full time server’s job. Life isn’t all about money. From there, you can start to look at other areas of work / night school classes to further your career.

why do you call wallmart your main job if you work there less than half time?
How many hours do you currently work in total?

[Izzel]

I work Full-Time at WM (40hrs a week) and it's ranges from 15 to 20hrs a week as a server atm.

[bednobs]

so what does "my main job is Team Lead at Walmart (18hr)" mean?

[bednobs]

not because im being picky, bu it could be some info i dont understand that would affect the advice

[dannyk13]

I wondered about that too.

^that to Bednobs^

Am assuming its the main job income-wize. Its possable to have dual roles for the same employer

If you don't like it then quit & find something you do like. At 26 you are young enough to take a few chances.

[bobbinwales]

Before you quitt the team leader roll see if you can increase your server hours first. Or find something else then quit.

[Izzel]

(18hr) is my hourly pay, sorry I forgot to put the $, it's a little wonky on mobile.
And I can definitely get full-time hours as a server, even on slow weeks they usually have 5 serving shifts posted each day.

[bobbinwales]

So thats $18 an hour. How many hours do you do as team leader

[bobbinwales]

Here in UK thats close to £13 an hour

[Izzel]

40 hours a week as Team Lead.

[bobbinwales]

Well 55-60 hours a week is to much to be sustainable especially if your hating the team leader bit. Moneys not everything , but before you quit think about whether you should discuss your roll with your boss and be open about how your not enjoying it as they may change things to stop the maicromanaging

[davebro]

why would her boss be interested in her sandwich?

Is a server a waitress?

[pastafreak]
