<p>The job I am at now I really hate, I hate what my job duties are, but I absolutely love the people I work with. My boss is very generous and very kind to me as well. The work environment and the people are the only reason this job is tolerable. I am just really unhappy at this job and I've even recently scheduled interviews for other opportunities. The thing is, I feel so bad even hating this job because the people are so nice and like me so much. I'd like to quit if another opportunity came along, but I feel so bad even thinking about because I don't want to upset these people, especially my boss. I've only been at this job for 6 months but I am just getting so sick of it, and I now know for sure it isn't in a field I want to have a long term career in. </p>
<p>On top of this, the person who has the same job title as me - there are only two of us doing the same job, it is a small company - is leaving next week. So I know for sure If I quit in the next week or two, nobody would be happy. I'm thinking I should just stick it out for another 6 months because I think that being there for a year and then quitting wouldn't upset my boss as much if I left now, and I want to have a good reference from him. I know I sound like a wuss and that someone will probably tell me, "Who cares, if you are unhappy, quit", but I've never worked with people that are so nice, it's crazy, and I feel that quitting would be like a personal attack on them. And a co-worker of mine also said my boss takes it personally when people quit. I just don't know what to do, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>
