I GOT HIRED FOR 2 JOBS AND I HAVE 1
Okay, it doesn't sound bad, right? a girl can work 3 jobs, its possible. BUT the hours - the hours of what two jobs vs. one who wants me to work doesn't work. So, 7brew and a local coffee shop hired me within the last 24 hours. I've been working at a local bar part-time for about 3 days a week...barely making ends meet. Hence why I started to apply for other jobs. I accepted 7brew as they hired me right on the spot of the interview. I thought, okay, great, I can work mornings since I work afternoons at the bar... but at the bar, my boss is horrible. constantly bringing people down, yelling, shaming, you name it. reminds me of when I worked for Walmart! It's awful. I love the job, not the boss! but with 7brew and this coffee shop, it's giving me a foot in the right direction of leading me to where I want to be in my future. I want to run my own coffee shop/bakery. that's always been my goal, I want the experience. but for my pocket book and mental health, it's best I leave the bar, but why do I feel guilty? the bar was the first place to give me opportunity and chance since I moved to this new town...ive been there since June of this year so not long at all but ive been constantly crying and hating myself because of the boss...but with me wanting to quit to further my success and goals in life in starting at coffee shops to get that experience, I feel guilty for quitting the bar...what do I do? I know that I have to do what's best for me, but I feel so bad. I hate being human with feelings 😂

Working multiple jobs simultaneously is a common challenge faced by many individuals aiming to improve their financial situation or gain diversified experience. Especially in service industries such as coffee shops, bars, and bakeries, the workload and emotional demands can significantly affect mental health. When faced with a toxic work environment, like having a boss who frequently brings employees down or shames them, it can lead to stress, reduced job satisfaction, and even decrease overall productivity. It is important to recognize that prioritizing your mental health is essential for long-term career success. Feeling guilt after deciding to leave a job that initially offered an opportunity is a natural emotional response, especially when that job represents a meaningful starting point after a life transition, like moving to a new town. However, guilt should not prevent you from making decisions that align with your career goals and well-being. Transitioning from a part-time bar job to working in coffee shops, such as 7brew and a local coffee shop, can provide valuable hands-on experience directly relevant to starting your own coffee shop and bakery. This strategic move supports skill-building in a more positive work environment, promoting career growth while reducing mental strain. To better manage this transition, consider communicating openly with your current employer about your intentions, if appropriate, and seek support from trusted friends or mentors. Setting clear boundaries and scheduling your work hours realistically will help maintain a healthy balance, avoiding burnout. Embracing vulnerabilities and sharing your experiences, as tagged with #embracevulnerability and #shareyourthoughts, can also encourage support and empathy from your community. Overall, making conscious choices about employment should focus on long-term personal and professional growth. Letting go of guilt and focusing on your aspirations, mental health, and acquiring relevant experience will pave the way for the success you envision running your own coffee shop or bakery one day.
