I just got fired from a job i didnt want but why do i feel guilty?

Question:

i needed the money really bad so i did this part time job. i didnt like the idea of it cause i would be driving too far. i felt it was a bad idea during orientation cause i needed the money real bad. 2 days later i get a phone call a place i really wanted to work at, wants me. Soo of course i take it. i did a no call no show at the job i dont like cuz i was starting my new one. for some reason i was too scared. Which they didnt even know about..i had to call and tell them i did that...i know their stupid!! anyways i feel really bad cuz i never got fired over the phone. she was just so mean so early in the morning. i just dont know where my balls were when i wanted to say i quit...i just never heard the words youre fired before? How is it i feel relief and guilt at the same time? its something i wanted right? im having mixed feelings, do i need a psychiatric?

Answers:
Well, you did the wrong thing and you know it. You should have called and quit the other job.

you are just fine, it is guilt because it is a new experience, and you also feel guilt because you like to do the right thing and you like things to go your way. Losing the job you did not want was new for you, and that may be a bit scary, not calling was a bad idea and that is another reason you may feel guilty. But it is okay as long as you do not to that very much, it will catch up with you if it happens many times over a short time.

You should feel guilty! You should feel bad that you left your manager in a really tough situation.

Personally, I think what you did was really selfish. I hope your work ethic changes as you grow up.

I've been fired before too--be whoa--you just hate the fact that being fired is on your record now.
Don't worry about it anymore be happy with your new job and to hell with the other one!

It is never right to just abandon a job with no notice, no matter how crappy it is. But once you get settled into your new job, those negative feelings will start to fade. Don't worry. You aren't a bad person, and you certainly aren't the first, or even the millionth person to pull a no call/no show for a job. I have seen it happen more times than I can count, and I am sure that they have too. You should feel guilty about leaving that employer high and dry, but things will work out okay.

You're fine, biolifecutie. You feel guilty because you know you should've given proper notice at your first job before taking the second one. Just put it behind you, but really learn from it, as you've now burned a bridge - you'll need to establish and maintain good rapport with employers for the purpose of building solid references for future job applications.

At any rate, I'm glad you got the job you wanted. Take care :o)
