Started a new job in August. Money and benefits lured me. It’s a shite-sandwich. Turnover in management is terrible, which is the boat I’m in.

Have other offers out there, but I’ve never been a job jumper. Never at a job less than a year.

Should I give it a year or get out while I can?

If another employer is willing to hire you that you like then leave.

Honestly dude if you are unhappy leave. I took a job a few years back I knew would not work out day one. Start looking.

This is the only answer. Life is too short to work a shitty job when you have better offers.

Life is too short to be loyal to a job you hate. If you have offers that you like, take one.

When quitting makes you happy, quit

Loyalty used to be important. But damn, the stress may kill me.

I’m looking.

I’ve been at mine 35 years. 7 months to go. Hated every minute, but my family has had a good life.

Leave the moment you realize you hate it. Why stay somewhere you hate?

Loyalty is a 2 way street. If they don't give it, they don't deserve it.

There is no such thing as loyalty with companies today.

Get out and don't list it on your resume

Tough call in my opinion. I started a new job in 2014 and absolutely hated it for the first 6 months. Thought I had made the biggest mistake of my life. Ended up getting better and am glad I stuck it out. There have been a lot of opportunities that otherwise would not have presented themselves.

Not saying you should stay or quit, just thought I'd throw out a similar experience

He'll likely hit six months by the time a new job hires him. He'll be fine listing it.

If you hate it that much look around and apply at places you want to be and if the right opportunity comes along than take it. You do not owe any company loyalty just because you are an employee and if something comes along to allow you to better yourself than go for it. I would advise you not to burn any bridges and when and if you leave conduct yourself in a professional manner ,but that is me.

I quit a job 3 years ago after only being there for a couple of months. Best decision I ever made. Had I tried to suck it up, I would've missed out on my current job, which I love. Been here 3+ years
