After three days of work, I quit

How pathetic does the title sound? I had a strong urge to delete the blog post prior to this but what the hell, I have no regrets. As it turned out, the job that I was talking about didn't quite work out as I hoped for. After my third day of work, I decided not to go back. I don't want to badmouth or anything so I'll just leave it at this... the company has so many issues and I don't want to be a part of it.

The realization of quitting didn’t come suddenly. I was very excited when I got accepted because I want the nature of the work. It was so obvious according to my friends. During my brief stay in the office, I never felt happy, though. Of course I didn’t pay much attention to what I was feeling because after all it was my first week and my adjustment period. Looking back on my past jobs, I was nervous and I feared the unknown but never did I feel unhappy and unwelcome during my first week. I tried to ignore all the signs because I was very much hopeful and I wanted the work so badly.

I wouldn’t consider myself a quitter, but I do know when to stop. A workmate helped open my eyes. This workmate was kind enough to spare me from the chaos. Before my final decision, I confided with my mom, the boyfriend and some of my friends. I thank them for not judging me, giving me encouraging words, instead. When I finally made up my mind about quitting, I think it was the first time I smiled that day. I never thought I would be this stressed on my third day. I don’t mind being stressed at all. I have been in worse situations but I never felt so helpless, useless and dumb. Isn’t work supposed to empower you? That wasn’t the case, I felt sad.

My three-day stay some would say seems too soon to quit. Exactly. I wouldn’t want to delay the agony especially after hearing feedbacks from people who were able to deal with the company. I was down and embarrassed yesterday when I made my decision but right now, I’m so relieved and thankful that I did quit.

All these just feel so negative but as I’ve said, I have no regrets. If there is one thing that I gained from this experience, it’s my renewed relationship with God. For the past years, I have been missing in action in terms of my faith. When I got the job, I was able to pray heartily and after two years, I had confession. When I quit, I talked to God and I was at peace. I thank the Lord for everything He has given me, for the challenges in the past two weeks. I know he has a better plan for me, something that I really deserve. A job that would give me stress and problems, but in a healthy way.
