HI, I took a job with a company, 2 months in the job found out a lot of issues at the workplace and the job is not as it was described to me, I decided to quit but I do not have another job lined up.
Question, shall I quit in so I do not have to list on my resume? or stay on since its paying until I find the next role? I will look bad if I leave a job after 7-8 months? but if I quit now, I will continue to show unemployment status until I find a good one, what shall I do?

Gossippy woman is manager?
Two people in my group were recently promoted and they both gossip and make up lies about others. It is petty and shows their insecurities. I am looking for other opportunities because some of the gossip is about me. I regret accepting a position there and had no way to know that this…

Being Director of HR, I have my hands in a lot of things HR related within the department.
My boss is the brother of the owner and VP of HR. About 2 1/2 years ago, I went to my boss, and told him I had had it with one of my assistants (I had two). She was constantly abrasive with our store personnel and even though I had been her supervisor for ten years and covered it on…

A few comments on the terrible job market and how overly critical the hiring side is on this right now:
If the job market changes a lot of companies and some recruiters (probably more on the company side since a lot of recruiters are good at what they do and don't get enough credit) are going to be in big trouble because the people getting the jobs now will be leaving as soon as it…

I can try to help you based on my experience. Luckily, I had the financial means to resign when my job was hitting my mental health horribly.
Are you able to do the work, like is it busy work bringing in a paycheck? If yes, then I would stay. If no, continue.
Do you have the financial capacity or resources to look for another job? 6-12 months of savings is recommended. I had roughly 3-4 months saved and luckily found a new role in 2 months.
If no, is the manager abusive or is the job hurting your mental health? If yes, quit immediately. Health is so much more important - take care of yourself :)

Hey .. to stay at a job that you already starting to feel a lot of work issues is an upbeat situation! If it’s already causing undecided decisions to make? You can just speak with your manager one on one and see she can explain some suggestions about the job or make your exit out the door.because we use too much energy on unnecessary things in life that we can’t control…! I wish you luck to make the more productive decisions) .
