It's ok, DB. Hardee's is opening 35 locations in Chicagoland.

The difference between staying 6 months and 2 months is probably nothing. If anything, you can explain away the 2 month one easier by saying "It was just a bad fit and not what I expected".

If you hate your work life then work on moving on. Every company knows that things like this happen. I left a job after 6 weeks and they were cool about it. They even paid me for an extra two weeks!

Just be sure to still give them two weeks notice.

I'm not usually one for serious topics on this board, but I wanted to throw this out there and get everyone's thoughts on the topic.

I started a new job in the beginning of November, and have been extremely unhappy so far. All of the expectations I was given when I started have proven to be not true, or keep being pushed back over and over. The company also seems to be an unorganized mess, which is not helping matters for me.

Not fast food, good food quickly.

I pretty much dread it every morning the alarm goes off right now.

I started a new job in the beginning of November, and have been extremely unhappy so far. All of the expectations I was given when I started have proven to be not true, or keep being pushed back over and over. The company also seems to be an unorganized mess, which is not helping matters for me. This is a large company that has employees all over the country, and it's really difficult to work together on things when you're not sitting together in the same office. Communication is a real problem (I know, what company doesn't have this issue), but this is different than other problems that I have run into in my past.

I've been asked to work on many things that I don't think I'm qualified to do, and I foresee this eventually blowing up in my face possibly. I'm not the type of person that accepts failure well, so this is really scaring the shit out of me. So far, I think I've done a good job, but there's shit coming down the pipeline that I am very unsure of and some that I have no interest working on.

My question to you all is, does leaving a job after only a few months look bad to prospective employers? IMO, anything less than 6 months looks bad on a resume, but I wanted to see what others thought on this issue. My two previous jobs I was at, I worked 2 years, and 5+ years, so I have those to show that I am not some sort of job-hopper. Are those enough to cancel out just bailing on this job?

A friend referred me to this job, so I feel a little bad for them also if I skip out. The pay is good, but I would honestly sacrifice some and go somewhere else. Nobody likes to wake up in the morning and have to go to work, but I pretty much dread it every morning the alarm goes off right now.

White people problems....

Get another job and dont list this one and say you took some time off.

This. You took some time off over the holidays, and now you are ready to roll.

Until they call your previous employer and they say "He was a great worker. We hated to lose him to company X."

And Company X isn't listed on your resume.

Tell the truth. It works.

IMy two previous jobs I was at, I worked 2 years, and 5+ years, so I have those to show that I am not some sort of job-hopper.

Is job-hopping really seen as a negative these days? My wife has been at the same place twenty years and she seems to think that's a negative on her resume.
