I think I have to quit after only two days
Today was my second day of working for Reeds Ferry Sheds, and I hated it. For context, I was working as a stocker for Walmart for about a year, and it was fine, just low pay. But I wanted something better, and I took a carpentry class in highschool, so when I saw Reeds Ferry was looking for laborers to build sheds I thought "perfect!" So I quit Walmart and joined reeds ferry.
The process was so much harder than I expected. I knew it would be heavy lifting, I didn't expect to be lifting up 60 or more pounds at a time! (I'm 5'5, weighing 130lbs. I'm not strong) They kept getting on my ass about lifting stuff with my shoulders, which I did as much as I could, but I had bruises on my shoulders within hours. And they never let me move with an empty hand, so I'm constantly lugging stuff to or from the truck and job site, and it's a lot. After day one, and I was sore and bruised. After day 2, I'm sore, bruised, and I'm physically in pain while I type this. I can work fast, but I'm not made for strength.
I feel bad quitting so quickly because apparently 90% of new hires quit on day one, and I don't wanna be like that. But at the same time, I can't stand another shift right now, I need a day to recover, at least. I found some ads for delivery jobs that pay the same, and they seem better. But I feel very uncertain about quitting
