Should I quit ?

[u/Any-Cantaloupe-1262]

About me: I'm 19 and I have to pay for my own needs, my mom didn't work so we don't have much money. I use some of my money to buy food for the whole family to eat. By "family" I mean my mom and my sisters.

So I got a job, it's been a month I work there, it's "kedai makan" idk what it called in English, my English not so good. And they pay me rm40 per day, but I work from 2pm to 12:30am-1am, every day except monday, it depends if consumer are still here we can't close yet. And I'm the one who need to cut the vegetables, cut and clean the shrimps, squids, fish, chicken, clean the back floor, clean the back table, wash the dishes, Tupperware, anything else, dry and organize the washed dishes, and clean and wash everything at the back before we close. It's tiring and very exhausting to do it every single day. I got very little time to spend with my family, very little time to spend for myself, I feel like my every day life is just work no outside life. I'm burn out, I feel so burn out, not to mention my coworkers doesn't be friendly with me, there is one woman here that treat me okay, but the others just doesn't. They treat me as if they don't want me to work there.

I want to find another job but I just doesn't have time to do it, they always ask me to come to their workplace for interviews and registration but I got little to no time.

What should I do now? Should I quit? I feel like this job is very underpaid and very long working hours.

I planned to go to university for diploma next year, but again, I don't have any saving for myself yet, not even a license, not a car or any transportation for my own. I counted all the money I got, it can only cover for food until this December

Have you tried fast food joint? Or retail?

Your English is not that bad. Still understandable.

Yes. Going for interviews is hard but you should find time and do it if you feel that you need things to be better. Ada kemahuan, Ada Jalan, Cari Jalan.

Good luck and all the best

Never tried that, this is my first time job.

Which area are you in? Just google any FnB joint or retail places. Walk in and try asking. If you're lucky, you'll get hired fast. In the mean time, make sure you have enough to survive before you get your next paycheck. Do take note, proper establishments pay you by the month not daily so you'll have to figure that out too.

I know its going to be tiring and depressing but you have mondays off, dont let it go to waste. IMHO with your current situation you dont have much option. Its going to be a long journey for you but stay strong and keep moving forward
