I work in a newsagency and I hate it. I have been there for about 4 months now and I really want to quit because I do not like my boss at all. I am the weak, shy, timid kind of person lol, and my boss is incredibly intimidating and scary. He's an ex-policeman and swears and yells at employees in front of customers, which is embarrassing.
So, I really want to quit my job because of him but I'm afraid he will go spastic at me saying I haven't been there long enough, and he'll scare me into staying. Also, my sister got me that job so she will be pissed if I quit lol. And my family don't take me seriously either. To them, I am like a child who doesn't know what he wants, and when I am trying to be serious, they treat me like an idiot or that I should feel guilty for any decisions I make.
So in conclusion, is it normal for someone to want to quit their job because they're afraid of their boss? lol.

I think I might just make an excuse and say I have been offered a job in the field I studied in. I'm sure he will understand lol. Thanks :)
I'm going to try and find a job in the field that I studied in, so he will have to write me a good reference letter hehe ;)
but one of my first jobs was at a coffee place and my boss was very very mean to me. she actually made me cry the whole three days i was there but since then i have learned to stand up for myself and not be pushed around. im sure in time you will grow some balls and stand up for yourself too. good luck!
