Venting I vanished from my job without resigning and lied to everyone about getting fired.

[EmotionlessWanderer]

Did anyone else do something similar?

The day that I started skipping I was supposed to go back to my original shift(which is nights). We worked at 4AM for an entire week because of night shift manager was on vacation.

However apparently they still needed me to come in at 4AM for one more day but said nothing to me about the change so I kind of said fuck it after I woke up which was 3 hours later and slept in.

There was a lot more about this job that I hated but that was the breaking point. I didn't come in the next day frankly because
I was going to quit anyway and a supervisor spitting in my face is not how I wanted to start off my last few weeks.

However my relatives are convinced my job is perfect and me telling them about what happened or even a " I resigned " story would raise suspicions. They question everything I do like the FBI.

I decided to make a cover story about getting fired which so far is working. I was going to do it anyway if I chose to quit traditionally.

If for some reason they find out before I CTB what would be a good excuse to tell them without getting the hint that I'm suicidal?

Making them think that I'm just a lazy 21 year old low life would work too.

My CTB date is next week but I'm getting overly paranoid that they're tracking down on my ruse.

I know this is selfish and stupid but I wanted to spend my last few weeks at peace.

Quiting a job is nothing to be ashamed of, I've quit a few in my time.
You could maybe have said you got laid off owing to cutbacks.

I had to make an excuse about going back to school when I left my job..... you could do something like that?
In reality I had cleaned out my desk the Friday before took the following week off as a "vacation" and tried to kill myself. So that Monday I came back was awkward for me to say the least.

I have done this before. Few years back when I was 22. Time is going by fast.

If there's some way that your family could be contacted from your job, they would realize that you lied to them and suspect something's wrong.

I think it would be better to resign and tell your family that you will look for another job, so you have some excuses to be out (interview, training, etc).

I stopped going to work one day.
I was struggling with depression, anxiety. I have emotional imbalance , cannot control my emotions at times. I can't control myself when I cry, I am the same way from as long as I can remember.
With my anxiety and other problems that I am drowned in, I felt really stressful to go for work. So, I took leave once in a while.
One day, I was unable to get myself outside also I have some physical pain that time. I was denied leave. I tried to go, went all the way to work place, turned back came to my room. I knew I was broken beyond any chance to repair.

I have done this at least 3 times in my life, and my dumbass just kept doing it until I reached my breaking point over and over. I've had some well paying jobs that I would just throw away.

That sucks. May be this is just our fate

@Boxoftools @Donewith_ I can relate to what both of you said. Few things are as horrible as your anxiety not allowing you to leave the house like a normal person, causing you to stay inside only giving you more anxiety.

I do not blame you, if you are doing something that you do not find enjoyable and it contributes to your anxiety/depression, it is not good for you. The way society has structured work now is wrong, when you have to work to live a life that your working for, your in a never ending trap. What you should do to not draw suspicion is act as natural as possible, tell them you are going to be looking for a job and do things you would normally do. Call your place of work and formally quit, then enjoy the time you have left until your deadline.

The last thing you'll want is them "saving" you, and you possibly ending up in a even worse condition, and being kept alive as a hostage until they feel that they don't need you anymore.
