Bumping this thread again to give another update
About 3 weeks ago, I quit my job. I walked off the job mid shift after me and a coworker got into a shouting match about a hamburger order that I was making because he kept talking sh*t by saying that I'm working too slow and that he already made several orders while I was still working on that one. That was just the breaking point for me though, this job had been shorting my paychecks for the last 3 pay cycles, another coworker attempted to assault me during my shift, they moved me and all of the other full time employees down to part time with zero notice, and people in management had a habit of berating all of the line cooks on a daily basis, including me. This employer didn't have the best track record when it came to hiring either, the guy who trained me when I first started working there lived in his car and the coworker that I got into a shouting match with was a pandemic early release inmate who was locked up for attempted murder.
Fast forward to today and I still haven't found another job yet, I'm not really thinking about dating right now because adding unemployed to everything else that I already mentioned on this thread will send any girl running away from me, not to mention that going on dates really isn't in the budget if I don't have a job. So now a friend of my dad's has an opening at his company and as soon as he told my dad, he then started pushing me to email him my resume ASAP. I was reluctant because this isn't the first time that my dad has helped me get a job through one of his friends and every time its ended up being a bad experience. My most recent job that I just described above was from my dad getting me in there through one of his friends, and before that he got me in somewhere else where they made me work 22 hours straight with no lunch or rest breaks. Now today I woke up to a voicemail from his friend I emailed my resume to and he said that he wanted me to come down today or tomorrow to interview for this job, I didn't call him back because I instantly thought of all the bad experiences from my previous jobs that he got me into.
After that, my attitude changed to frustration, anger, and depression because I feel like my next job is being picked out for me and I don't even get a say and that I'll be stuck repeating this same situation again and again no matter how much higher I aim for myself. He assured me that this job will be different and that I won't have any bad experiences this time and started pushing me to call him back for the interview, instead I snuck out of the house when he was in the other room and went down the street to a liquor store and bought a beer and a pack of cigarettes (trying to quit, started smoking at my last job) to cool down and take some time to think. I never called him back and I don't know what I should do, should I interview for this job or keep looking and find something on my own that i know I'll enjoy? This job would be full time and pays $20/hr. If I decide against it though, I won't completely be without work because I'm returning to my summer job at the county fair that I've been doing since 2014 and really enjoy. But the problem is, that job is only part time and pays minimum wage ($15/hr in my state) should I pursue this latest job offer that my dad got for me even though I have a lot of reservations about it, or work at my summer job that will last until 4th of July and then find a job on my own after that?
