I cannot believe this mess I have walked into and now I'm stuck because if I quit i can;t get back on unemployment. The job continues to get worst every week and I think I will purposely get myself fired before the end of the year. On top of not receiving any training on how this company operates, someone was fired last Friday and now they are trying to fill that position. I see certain staff walking around saying-"i'm overwhelmed" during the day which is not something a new staff member should see during the first two weeks.
I accepted this job offer too fast because of watching so many stories on Fox News about unemployment and started to get nervous. Anyone else ever been in this situation?
Stuck like Chuck
Look at the unemployment numbers, there is no improvement week after week. You are truly an ungrateful person.
Why are you afraid of a challenge? If you hear staff members saying they are overwhelmed, why not ask if you can help? Last week you wanted to shine, and this week you want to sink. Jeez, you're a grown man, stop being so wishy washy.

i don't see men get overwhelmed in the office that much. so that was new
The title of your thread should have been - Listen to me whine once again about something I have absolutely no control over, but knows what everyone else besides myself should be doing. Grow up, get a life, and quite whining like a little ***** baby! Hope you don't get offended by that remark and report me.

Chucky, this isn't meant to be insulting, but have you ever tried therapy? Although it's possible you would waste the sessions by denying and making excuses, I think therapy or maybe life coaching could help you take charge of your life because from what you write daily, your life seems quite messy and unstable.
So basically what you are telling me is a staff member should express being overwhelmed around someone who just started the job????
In a company where people are miserable or hate their job, it is almost impossible not to hear this kind of talk. I am sure it is part of normal conversation and they are not just doing it to scare you or for your sake.
Where I work (fortune 100 company) on the rare occasion when they are forced to hire someone, we are all called into the boss's office and threatened to be fired if we tell the new person the truth about how bad the company is, what they have gotten themselves into etc etc. However, it usually only takes a month or so until they figure it out for themselves and quit or start looking for another job. So.....the lesson here is TVSG, if they are saying they are overwelmed etc, maybe it's time to make friends with someone there and get him/her to "tell you the truth" about what the deal is, so that you know for sure what you have gotten yourself into. Then....make a decision to leave or stay. I would not recommend getting fired on purpose though. It is much better to quit because the job was not what you expected or whatever.

If you are fired for performance you are given a layoff letter
Well, in your defense, I had a great job, and there was a promotion available, I took it, and within three months was depressed, overwhelmed, and working with a bully from hell. I walked into the position thinking I could handle it. It was by far, the worst job I have had in a career of over 30 years. It took me two years of applying for other jobs to get out of that hole.
So, I suggest, you start sending out resumes. Oh, wait, I am sorry, you don't look for work...well whatever your new plan is, I suggest you implement it.
