So I’ve been struggling with my work situation for awhile (years) and I’ve voiced my intention to quit for some time now(months) . Currently, I’ve decided to go back to school. Even though my boss has told me that she’ll work with my schedule ,she really isn’t .She’s told me a week before I start that she can’t work with my schedule and that I should move my classes around . That wouldn’t be a problem if she didn’t wait so late to tell me ( classes are full now).Long story short she gave me two options and both of them suck so I’m dipping . When I told my dad I was quitting I didn’t tell him the whole story but he went off on me basically .” You don’t just leave a perfectly good job …Pray harder . Ask for God to guide you… Maybe he’s trying to teach you something … He’ll open a door when he’s ready for you to leave .😔Then he throw a mistake I made in my face and my confidence just went out the window . Anyway , I’m confounded because I feel like his advice is not really advice . I’m supposed to pray and if I’m good enough God will open some magical door for me . That doesn’t make sense . He keeps comparing how he got his job to my situation ( he was late to his interview but still got the job and accredited it to God . I get it but …really). Let me also say that I no longer participate in the Christian religion and I’ve been leaning toward other beliefs ,so again ,my Dad’s advice proves to escape me. Every bone in my body is telling me to let go of what doesn’t serve me . My job doesn’t serve me despite numerous attempts to move up the ladder and perseverance of being there for almost a decade .
Part of this is venting and the other part is being frustrated at my Dad’s Christian based advice . What do you think ? Sorry if it’s long .
