    Angry literally about to walk out on my day job right now... should I?!?

    I'm sitting at my desk at my day job and every word that my boss says is grinding on my skin to the point where I am very much contimplating the idea of just walking out. I haven't been camming long and I need to get some stuff together to get this going full time but Im sure that I could make more than Im making here (Which is basically nothing right now because we are so slow and im commission based) and I would LOVE to never step foot in this office again. It's a pretty day out the sunshine and fall weather are inticing me from the window.. Should I just do it? Should I just walk out??

    Unless you are physically being abused I wouldn't. Come up with a letter giving them your two week notice, it's the proper thing to do. You can make it another two weeks! You never know when you may need a reference from them, so just try to play nice until you are done there.

    Kylea is giving sound advice. On the other hand, telling him to shove his job could be that one defining moment for you that spins your life off in another exciting direction.
    Both decisions have infinite possible consequences right now.
    You could flip a coin?

    Another bonus to giving your two week notice is that sometimes if its an uncomfortable situation they'll let you leave the same day with the two weeks paid. I've seen that happen before.

    I wouldn't get two weeks pay.. He only pays me $1k base salary a month (which works out to less than minimum wage) the rest is commission... but I haven't had ANY sales this month and he actually just recently changed my pay to this way I used to be salaried at 36,600 a year.. I would never have taken the job if I knew it was gonna be this way,.. but being the cheapo he his instead of laying me off like he should have he forces me to work for nothing... Totally screwing me over. I haven't walked out yet but I'm thinking I probably won't return tomorrow.. GULP. Hope I make it camming =/

    I would just leave on a good note, not a bad one. Never burn bridges. Be able to use him as a reference.

    I've been in your situation before with my last job & I know it is Soooo tempting to just say fuck it and walk out. It sucks, but I agree with Kylea...put in your two weeks. What if camming turns out to not work for you? Then you apply for another job and get a bad reference & you don't want that.
    Stick it out girl...it will be a long ass 2 weeks, but then you will be outa there to focus on your camming.

    Hahahhahahaha, I say fuckin BOUNCE! That's what I did a couple months ago and I never looked back. Of course my boss was an evil cow that was actually TRYING to force us out (long story, she's evil and unstable). But after she actually TRIED to make me cry I said fuck the next 4.5 days I am GONE. I was very sweet and pleasant, I saw her a few days later and she smiled and joked, but seriously when jobs are killing your soul I say fuck em, Life's too short. Of course most people tend to need good references and all that crap so you may not want to burn your bridges, but if you're more of an adventurous Diva like me then girl seriously, make an EXIT! And NEVER look back baby!

    that's what I did and WHOO was that a nice feeling. fortunately for me I'm only 20 so I don't need anything to put on a resume really since I'm in school full time. I quit my day job, started stripping full time, and now I have enough money to actually get by

    yay. I was in a horrible office job with a horrible boss before I started camming. I had to hang in there because i was helping support my family but I hated every fucking day of it. I wish I could have just said 'fuck you I'm gone". lol

    2 weeks formal notice isn't required by any means. Walking into your bosses office and saying that you just can't do it anymore would be enough. Claim personal reasons, and you probably wouldn't even have to worry about finishing work that week.

    My justification over the lack of giving 2 weeks is that most companies won't give you 2 weeks notice when they let you go... so why should you? Corporporate "professionalism" is more or less a joke to me.

    I say walk. Somebody who randomly cuts your salary from 36k to 12k is likely not happy enough with you to be giving you good references in the future anyway. You can make more than 1k per month camming even in your very first month with no experience if you even put in half the hours of a full time job. If this job is not part of your life's career goals/plans, every word boss says irks you, AND you just took a 60% pay cut you are wasting your time there.

    I'm gonna have to say WALK! I think I read in your past posts that you work with streamate now. If you work quit your job, and devote those hours to camming, you will definitely see the rewards! I can't believe I didn't get with streamate sooner. The traffic is excellent, the guests are nicer and more serious than other sites, and I have made way more in a few hours, than I would make in say 8 hours on other sites.

    ShellyConnors made a good point. These people have messed with your livelyhood by decreasing your pay by 60%!!! Screw that, and guess what? You more than likely can make 36k per year doing cam, and get back to making that same type of money, if not more! I say be happy, and BOUNCE!

    p.s. I am really happy with streamate!

    I just wanted to add to not get lazy if you quit. You do have to put in some work with these cam companies. Promoting really has helped me gain more traffic, and it is time consuming, but worth it. It is also very easy to get lazy when working from home. I have tried to be more consistent by making myself a schedule, and keeping in touch with my regulars. I also bought a journal specifically for my cam work. I keep a list of hourly, and daily money goals. Some people might think that's corny, but it is really working for me. Not only with camming but in my personal life.

    Thanks ladies for all the advice.. Just so you all know... I DID IT! I quit yesterday.. and while it is very scary it is also extremely liberating. They crazy part is that our sales district manager for the company I was working for (an Insurance company) called me today to tell me that he always was impressed with me and offered to hook me up with a new agency that will be opening up on December 1st.. so not only does that give me a month to go full time with camming to see if it full time is do-able long term.. but I also have a great fall back plan if I'm not cutting it as a cam girl.

    OH and just a side note... i'm horrible with confrentation so I left a resignation letter on my boss's desk while he was gone and dipped and I woke up this morning to a text message and a voicemail from him saying to call him so we can discuss higher pay.. But I'm not going to because of multiple other reasons.. But it makes me feel SO good that after one day of just up and quitting my job new opportunities are already coming about!

    Screw working for someone who makes you miserable, I will never do it again! =)

    Good for you! When I think about my previous job (daycare center), I think about my former co-workers who are likely still there, complaining to each other about the mandatory "volunteer" work that goes along with the job, favoritism, the boss letting certain people take off work willy-nilly while others can't, having to wash dishes when you're a few minutes late, shitty pay, etc. I do miss the kids, though by now many of them are in school and not in daycare anymore anyway, but I'm glad I left that place. If I'm your employee with the BEST attendance (almost never taking a day off), yet you're gonna cop an attitude when there's an emergency at my son's school and I gotta leave, fuck you, Ms. Boss Lady. This ain't middle school...I shouldn't have to wait around for permission (the hall pass...haha!) to go take care of my business...lol.
