Get out now and take a breather. You can find a job eventually and you will present well after you recover from all this.
Then in an interview you can just tell them you quit due to family priorities or something. I would not breath a word about why you really left. It will only come back to bite you in the bum.
You don't have to have a job to get a job. That is BS.

You are right, and I agree with this. Finding a job while burnt out and stressed out from one such as I now have is not likely to go so well. I really do need to recover from this one, and you are also right about not telling the next employer my real reasons for leaving. That's not likely to serve me well either. I didn't have a job when I got this one, so you are right again.
Not having to go back into that wretched place will be a tremendous relief, and I plan to enjoy the freedom from it for a bit.
Have you tried telling the bullies to leave you alone? I did that once and it made these girls back off. When I did leave the job for a better opportunity one was shocked the other was glad to see me go, but I was more glad than they were lol! And now I AM HAPPY while they are probably there still working to make others miserable
Sounds like you need to do some research and ask yourself some questions, then rate the pros and cons of leaving this job without having another one lined up. I would say yes if you are ok financially while you look for another job as mental health is very important and no one should have to suffer with bullies!
if they treat you like crap, look for another job while still working there. once you get one, don't even give them the 1 week notice. just tell them on that day, "Since I feel i was treated mistreated and no actions were taken, I quit. Don't expect me to show up today or any other day".
If you quit you won't get unemployment. Just stop being a hard worker and do enough to just get by. And I would never bother with a corporate job that pays less than $10K / year. Recently a recruiter called me and said my resume was a perfect match for a John Deere Proe job in Iowa. But it was at $20 / hr. I said that was minimum wage work for Proe, and the least I would work for is $23 / hr. John Deere is cheap; I rejected another $23 /hr Proe GD & T job in Louisiana back in summer 2009.
OP, I am more than a little shocked that someone would post so much personal information when you're having a work related problem.
I was hoping Amy Lewis wasn't your real name, but you have posted a picture of yourself on here as well. So I have a feeling you used your real name.
It is really not too smart to give out so much information when you're talking about personal issues and work problems.
You don't know who from your work could be on this board. You have listed your location in FL, your name, a photo...not a good idea.
