I wish I was on a band 5 or 6
Sorry but I LOL'd at this comment. My gf went through 3 years of Uni to be a nurse, can't say the same for the cleaning trade. She is on £21k (which is low for a graduate), 12 hour shifts, and do have to put up with a lot. All nurses now have to graduate from Uni & not school leavers. Try getting facts right 1st
Back to the OP, in my 1st job I was the same, handed in my notice and got a £6k payrise, I didnt feel like I could talk to my boss about how crap the job was, only felt I could tell him about the good side of things!
so she's band 5 yes?
band 5 starts at 21,173 for point one. plus a year on year COL increase then you ALSO go up a point every year after 3-4 years she could slide across to band 6 also. that would be £27-28k (at current rate, will be more then) I'd say that's nothing to sneeze at.
also all nurses don't have to be uni grads, not for another 2-3 years now.
you are not wrong.

Its easier to find work when you are actually still in work.
I wouldn't be a nurse for £21k.
I'd say for having to deal with sick, puss, poo, blood, urine, drunks, death, nutters etc they don't really get a good deal.
To the OP talk to your boss and see what he can do, if nothing changes and you can support yourself for at least 6 months then leave.
Work takes up a huge amount of your life and wasting it on a job you hate just because you're scared to leave is something you'll regret in years to come.
Plus this whole recession thing isn't that bad everywhere, I left my job last year had a few months off and found a new one within weeks that was better than my last. I'm not saying it's easy but it can be done.

There's a name for this, it's: "Work". Look forward to another forty years of it. Even the people who are underworked and overpaid think this applies to them.

There are 619 ex Creda/Indesit/Hotpoint workers who all thought they were hard done by and on low wages until they were all made redundant and had to find new jobs.
I know that the majority would go back tomorrow if the place was to open again and even I would think about it.
There's an old saying - you don't know what you've got til it's gone
Most people in this thread are going on about things such as... 'it's called hard work' and 'you'll be lucky if you find another job'. I'm sick of people saying things like this, it's your own opinion and one I asked people not to express as I don't see the point. You guys might feel a certain way but you don't know how I feel at the minute and you do not know what my job entails. I don't know what it's like to suffer with depression but I get very close some days due to my job. I dread every night thinking about going in the next day but I've never rang in sick as I'm not that 'kind' of person.
I couldn't sleep last night thinking about my job etc. but I went back today and my boss wasn't there so I'll talk to him on Monday.
I'm sorry, if anyone else feels like writing - You should try my shoes on and see how hard a job really is.... then please don't bother because I'm not interested.

today was alright thanks, busy as always. I felt better today than I did yesterday, maybe it's because I let all my anger/frustration out yesterday.
I wasn't able to sleep last night because of everything flying about in my head and seriously don't know whether to stay or not.
Hi mate I often feel the same way. We are not as well paid here compared to our friends on the mainland but supposedly the cost of living is cheaper. The question is do you enjoy your job? If so then hang in there because there's little or no work anywhere these days. The best you can do is put your head down and work hard for a promotion. Regarding the client complaining... there's any number of people in life who will never be happy regardless of what you do for them. I would put it down to experience and solider on. Obviously your boss thinks you have potential otherwise he/she would have just handed you the P45 without question.

Im the same mate!
I work in a competetor of OcUk ( So can't name ), But im on less than £6 an hour and i do nothing but run about for other people. I've only been there less than a month and i too have told my Boss im leaving. Lucily i have another job with better hours / money and less work lined up.
You done right! We're Human, Not robots!

You are a completely immature, self centred, pompous d1ck! Your attitude makes me want to see you walk from your job, get booted out from your parent's and end up in a factory packing boxes. See what life is about!
You even sound desperate to have depression. What a victim you want to be!
Like I said earlier,
GROW UP!
EDIT: And LiamC, you are nothing like each other. You have found a job and then left instead of stamping your feet like a spoilt brat like the Egit.

No offence to everoneelse with different view, but if i was the op, i would have kept with the job whilst searching for a new one.
As my mum always said " it easier to find a job when your i a job"
but i agree with the o.p. their is no point in doing a job that you dont enjoy, to the o.p i would recomend finding something that he enjoys and trying to make a career out of it, i.e i love electronic and have gone to college to get a nc and have some how earned a apprenticeship it corus in process sand control.
so in short find something you enjoy and make a career, and yess i have drunk a rather lot of vodka tonight...

Yep, suppose not. Thanks for reminding me Mr community support officer, and it's SlugForAButt to you!
This guy is making my blood boil!
Anyway, I apologise for any personal remarks I may have made.
But it's about time people realise that we work for money, not for enjoyment.

really? I already said that I didn't want people slagging what I did/have said off and you go and do it. As I said, you don't have a full understanding of my situation so please shut it. You said that my attitutde would make you want to see me walk, well this is what I was very close to doing yday and could possibly still do it, it's no skin off my nose, I'm not going to stay somewhere where I'm not happy.

If I'm making your blood boil then don't post. I've already said this in my original post and you decide against it but yet I annoy you?
Maybe He Is really unhappy with his job and It's making him Ill. Maybe he does not need any money, has savings while he looks for something else. Whatever it maybe It's his decision
and there is no place like OcUK to have a good rant.

Thanks, this is what my situation is. I'm sure that I've had a headache every single day (no joke) since I started.
