Shall I jump - is it feasible to give up work?

why don't you go and work for another supermarket.
what have you got to lose.
research a few, from employees' forums etc, or other retail jobs. many jobs are available.
don't stick somewhere horrible.
oh, remember when going for another job, don't say anything against the present employer or situation. say you need a different location, hours, a new challenge blah blah.
good luck.

Take the Jump SUE EH....You'll be glad you did in the long run...I retired at 61 with only work pension and small lump sum...Hubby did the same....We cream off our savings but its so worth it...Life is so good and to see my hubby stress free from his old job says it all...Good luck to you

If you know you can manage financially, I'd say do it.

Who knows, another, nicer job opportunity might come up - even an extra day working for your friend.

Otherwise, enjoy the time and the lack of hassle.

Life is too short to spend much time doing things you hate unless you have a very good reason, you don’t seem to have that so, yes jump and jump quickly.

Just do it. I stayed too long in a job I hated and calculated that leaving early with a reduced private pension would not make a massive difference to my monthly income and am so glad I did. I didn’t realise how stressed I’d been until I left. Life is too short to be so miserable
