I came to a country to find a job, I found it, but housing was difficult so the owner of the company helped me with accomodations for 1 month. I found a place of my own right after one month. The thing is: I don’t want to stay in the job (after two months) and in the country, for several reasons. Should I be clear that I am not enjoying the job? Or should I blame the country and avoid being sincere since they helped me? I just don’t want to sound like a bad person.
I mean, yeah, do you. But I’m gonna go against the grain and say stick it out until at least 6 months; 1 year if you can make it.
Obv your mental health and safety are priority, but if it’s just not liking where you’re at currently, then here’s why I say this:
the dust has hardly settled. Frustrations from international moves is typical; feelings of alienation and disruption breed contempt. But once you establish more permanent routines and go through at least a few seasons, you will probably find a groove
the other commenters are right: work is work and your moral qualms are moot… but employers talk. I don’t know how big or small your industry is but if you don’t at least appear to give their investment a chance to pay itself off, you may burn yourself.
You are obviously free to discard this perspective, but the entire comment section going full tilt towards fuck 'em, bail seemed a bit blind to these factors
agree. mental health is the most important, but if you are this weak mentally, you shouldn’t leave your parent’s house.
most people get into debt to move to a country, go to school to learn the language, work part time at the same time to make ends after a couple of years enter a entry level job with shit salary just to start a career.
