Should I quit my job now if my new training doesn't start until September?
Hello everyone,
my question/problem:
At the beginning of the year (2023) I completed a commercial apprenticeship and I am now working full-time at my former training company.
However, I noticed during my training that my strengths lie more in the practical/technical area, which is why I now want to do an apprenticeship in the skilled trades on September 1st, 2024.
In the department where I currently work, I'm one of five employees. However, the atmosphere there is extremely negative. My colleagues talk and gossip about each other behind each other's backs, and the colleagues from other departments are all stupid and useless anyway. Basically, they gossip and swear almost all day long. Likewise, I get a lot of abuse for the smallest mistakes, and when I speak to a customer or talk on the phone in a friendly/polite manner, they tell me I shouldn't be so sycophantic and should have become a flight attendant. And these are just a few of the many things.
Since I've been in this department, I've been feeling really bad mentally. The negative atmosphere and uncooperative treatment have been completely depressing me, and I dread going to work every morning and have an extreme reluctance to do so. I can't switch off in the evenings because I know I have to go back the next day. Since then, I haven't been able to sleep through the night and often lie awake for long periods. I often lack the energy/strength for personal activities, like hanging out with friends on the weekend or simply doing some exercise.
I can really feel how much work is getting to me, so I'd like to get out of here as quickly as possible.
My question:
What do you think if I resign now? I would then be out of my current employment on January 31, 2024.
However, the training courses don't start until September 1, 2024. To bridge the gap, I would look for a volunteer position and a part-time job.
What do you think about this? Would you support this decision or would you be against it?
Thank you for your answers.
(I also still live with my parents, so rent payments and other expenses are not covered.)

I am 55 years old and work time I am 16 years old and have already worked in retail, Bundeswehr, IT manufacturers, distributors, system houses between 50 and 100,000 employees. I say so everywhere is being harassed and sworn over other departments that’s the same everywhere that has already been accused that I shouldn’t make too long a phone call and be close to me.
Bugs happen everywhere the boss’s favorites don’t get as much as you do.
I stopped running the “problems” because it’s more or less the same. Not swallowing, but fighting is my moto. With time you get a thick skin, I have to say at least with me.
So put the problems to you is my recommendation, don’t run away and don’t put your head in the sand. I would then go through this until 30.8.24
Otherwise, if you are supplied by parents no need to pay rent, you can of course also go through your plan.
Another alternative would of course be another job. Why only mini-job, you can still work half a year elsewhere and still work volunteers.
Then you have a health insurance, can save money, have no gap in the CV, and can even do what you enjoy.
For example, I worked three months before my training as an unskilled worker, and these jobs exist in most areas.
The description of yours, I would even call it symptoms, sounds worrying. Therefore, I would not stay there at your place and if it doesn’t get better, in any case even talk to a doctor or a doctor or psychological counselor or something so that you can feel better.
A volunteer or minijob will not pay you your rent. Again: If you have a partner – a idol, so to speak – then you don’t have to go to work and your partner deserves the money. It depends on your living conditions – I wanted to express it.
You shouldn’t stay with this company anymore. Tormenting yourself to work is not a quality of life. What I don’t understand is the fact that Arloch can keep a job and feed the entire operating climate. Don’t want to go in my head.
Let yourself be sick. Over and over. Until you get quit. Then apply for AlG 1 or 2 – depending on what you are. And then let the Employment Agency advise you well, as it can continue for you until the start of your training.
If the job gets you ready, you should go. But only after you searched for a meaningful alternative.
Better find a job in the industry or alternatively another full-time job where you can work unlearned (storage, retail,…), which makes you better in the CV.
Because this (then only volunteer or mini-job) doesn’t look really good in CV and cost like health insurance etc. you still have to pay even if you live with the parents.
What do you live in this time? Who pays your health insurance?
I still live with my parents, which is why I am not dependent on income.
That would be quite unwise, so you can assure yourself privately.
That’s right! For information for all: In Germany we are legally obliged to leave us insurers. If you don’t have a sponsor (employer half or job center in full), you have to pay the amount yourself.
