writes:So, I started this job at the start of Summer. I left my other job of a few years because this one paid a significant amount more than the previous one. The owners live in other states. However they got into this business three years ago. The owners know nothing about the Apartment industry. They do not know the laws and or procedures of my state. Since I started I had over 30 applications in two months and several people to move in. However, they still want more. I have no more apartments to fill!!! I work 10 hour days Monday-Friday. I even work when I come home. I skip lunch and I have several sleepless nights. The company also has a very high turn over rate they have gone through 11 people in 3 years. The company has no training. I was told the key pad code to the office and walked into a mess. There was food in the desk drawer, toilet bowl was pink, papers everywhere.The owners want more and more but are not understanding the concept of the business they are rude and micro-manage. I’m exhausted and pregnant with my first child. I want to quit next week with no notice. I don’t believe the money is worth how I am being treated. I was in tears yesterday and broke down.I also picked up the pieces from several managers that did not know what they were doing and it still wasn’t good enough. Should I stick it out or just quit next week? I have not found another job. Week after week I am being criticized and put down and it’s all weighing on me. I have money saved up that will help with bills just incase I ever run into an obstacle like this.

You're pregnant, your health always comes first! Don't miss meals, or lose sleep!
You have an outstanding work ethic. You should always give notice before leaving a job, no matter how much you may hate it; and even if you may have been mistreated. All jobs go on your resume, and into your work history. Some employers will retaliate by bad-mouthing you to prospective employers. They can even claim you were fired. Leave on respectful terms. Although, I know it's popular these days to just walkaway; or to do something nasty. You're above that.
Don't leave them any reason to come at you. Send them a resignation letter, and leave.
My prayers go out for you and your baby!

Or did you naively think they handed out money like candy just for the sheer enjoyment of it?And saved up and worked hard so they could give it away to strangers? People tend to work for money and the more they earn the more responsibility, skill or hours they put in.
Get another job before you leave this one. I knew that when I was just 15! And stop expecting the moon. If you want to work shorter hours and have less responsibility look for something which is easy but pays a lot less.

 Personally? Find a new job first, THEN quit. I would HATE using savings if it's not a desperate need. A hard-working person such as yourself will probably have an "easier time" finding a new job or even contact your old company and see if they have an opening, maybe just negotiate your salary.
You might get paid more at this new "shit job" but do you also work many more hours? If you do, it's not really a great pay raise - because it's not worth it.
However, if you are TRULY miserable, then quit and move on.
Lastly, UNDERSTAND that this is not about you being a bad employee. You are doing your best. So are your coworkers. Your bosses are shit at management and overall, shit people.
