I spend the first couple of months really hating any job too. After you
get settled into it things improve greatly.

I say stick to it until you're past 90 days - or have another job lined
up.
When you walk through the detritus of the other floors which had all
employees axed, it's unsettling and certainly doesn't make me feel like
I've got a steady paycheck for the future.

time at work wanting to run away though...but I'm not as uncomfortable
and when you know the procedures it's not really too tough.

Don't underestimate an employment position with stability. I love the
tech industry but it doesn't help my anxiety that I work for a large
company. Were you to visit my office you'd think the place was pretty
busy, but most of the 500k sq feet is totally empty.

You have several options. One is to keep the job while you look for
another job, that way you have money coming in. Can you do that?
However, If you absolutely hate this job and know you will quit, then
quit. The probation period works both ways, its to see if the company
likes you, AND IF YOU LIKE THEM. hey if you don't like it, get out, its
not your responsibility that someone else has a good vacation. He will be
fine even if you quit. I once quit a job on the first day during training
after 3 hours.

I got a new job in a printing company one and a half month ago. Before
working as an official employee, I have to work for three months. After
this probation period, I will become official employee with insurance and
they would raise my pay also. Sounds pretty stable and nice. Though the
problem is this is not the job I really want. I took this job because I
need money and my skill is qualified when they posted their ad. Other
than that, there is no meaning for me to stay there. Last week, I
decided to quit it so I can go for what I really want, working in TV
station, which should be much harder to get in I know. Because of my
education background and issues with parents, I gave up every chance I
may get into that field. Finally, I decided so I should quit this job
asap. However, the person who is training me, which is a pretty nice
person, kept telling me that he is going to have a vacation soon so I
better learn how to deal with the job before he leaves or nobody is gonna
help solving any problem there might be, and how busy the company would
be in the busy seasons. I thought I rather be so busy for what I want to
work on plus the amount of my pay is not higher than anywhere else either
so I should not stay any longer.

My problem arose.... First of all, I feel bad about quitting the job
during probation period. But I don't want to waste no more time..... I
know it would sound stupid though I decided to quit after the guy would
come back from vacation because I don't want him to worry about the
company during his vacation. Second of all, I don't know what I should
say to the boss when quitting..... Do people quit during probation??
Sigh,....dont' know what to do.
