Hey all, as I've posted a couple times on here recently about
I've recently got a job at a new bank being a personal banker. The branch is SOOOO SLOW. There is SO much downtime. I'm talking about
more downtime then you could ever imagine or even want. In a 8-9 hour workday I literally help on average probably like 4-5 people. I left my old bank as a teller to come to this one for a nice pay raise. But you know what? It's not worth it. The job is absolutely horrible. A big part of that is because it's so dead in the branch, the other part is because when I do have downtime my manager wants me on the phone making cold calls to customers. I had a job a long time ago doing cold calls exclusively, that's where I learned that I ABSOLUTELY HATE cold calling. It's pushy, its annoying, it's terrible. It's a terrible business practice and I'll never understand it. Anyway...now I'm stuck in this SLOW branch, cold calling all day, not selling anything because nobody sits down, and the days NEVER END because I'm not DOING ANYTHING!
I am 90% sure that I am putting in notice this friday. Seeing as though this is only my 2nd month in this new position they will probably just let me go I'm assuming. My father has invited me back into the family business but wants me to do so as a "career choice" if I want to. For the first time in my life, for longer then a few months, I have been thinking seriously and honestly really want to get my degree. I'm finishing up classes at University of Phoenix now for Accounting and I'm about a year and a half away from graduating. I wouldn't mind going back to my fathers company but I don't want to feel trapped there. I don't want to take it over anymore, I want to get my degree and forge my own path.
I catch heat from family and friends who tell me "you always see the negative in things", "you always start things and don't finish them", "another impulse/rash move", etc. Well what the hell are my mid 20's for if not to flop on my face and try a few different jobs? I'm so confused now though, I know I absolutely positively cannot stand my current personal banker job. I had to talk myself out of walking out today 20 different times.
Do I try and stick out this job that I absolutely can't stand? Do I go back to my old job at the other bank and try and find a personal banking spot there? (They didn't cold call, were much busier, and a lot more customer friendly) Do I look for an entry lvl accounting job? (More than likely a temp job that might not keep me after the times up) Or do I go back to the family business in which I had my first ever bout with anxiety and major nervous breakdown while I was working there and going back to school?
So confused right now, my freaking head could explode. I just want to be able to relax again more then anything, just to feel like everything's alright. Because everything feels like it's in absolute ****ing shambles right now.
