I recently started a new job about four months ago, but it's been a nightmare. I had been struggling to find work for a while due to my employment history, which includes several short stints and a significant gap while I focused on my bachelor's degree and dealt with personal issues. When I finally got this job, I thought it would be a fresh start, but it quickly turned toxic. From the beginning, I noticed red flags, and soon enough, the stress became unbearable. Every shift feels like a battle, and I'm constantly worried about being fired. I've tried to address issues with my coworkers and manager, but nothing has improved. The environment is hostile, and I'm under immense pressure to meet conflicting expectations. Recently, my hours were cut from full-time to part-time because I couldn't meet the unrealistic standards set by my manager and coworkers, despite my best efforts. This shift has left me feeling trapped, as I'm still expected to be available full-time without any predictable schedule. I suspect my manager is trying to force me to quit. Now I'm at a crossroads. If I leave this job off my resume, my employment gap will widen, but if I include it, I'll look like a job hopper. I'm considering applying for new jobs, but I'm unsure how to approach it given my circumstances. I have some savings, but I don't want to waste more time and money. I'm feeling really lost and need advice on whether I should start applying now and how to handle my resume.
