I am after some advice. I have a part time job which involves a lot of social activities and organisation. I have been in the job on supported employment for almost three years. The first two years were productive, I felt I was doing the job well, and I got some positive feedback. But lately my supervisor has told me that things are not going well with the job, that she has received some negative feedback from clients about my lack of organisation - emails not being followed through, things being forgotten about, inability to deal with group dynamics. My work, in fact, helps other people with disabilities, but it is a very social role, the job expectations often change, and there is little structure.
For the last 6 months I have been feeling very demoralised with my job, and feeling as though I do not enjoy the work anymore. After today's supervision, where the supervisor said I have 3 months to improve or I may lose my job, I am considering handing in my notice. I would rather make the decision to leave the job myself instead of it being made for me. I don't know if I can turn things around in 3 months, and do not want to create any extra stress for myself. I would like to look for other jobs that better reflect my abilities. I have been told that I am forgetful and scatty and that this is putting my job at risk. Well, I cannot help being this way, and they do know I have Asperger's. Also, two of our clients irritate me because they complain about what I do all the time, and they are the ones who have put my job at risk through their complaints. I therefore harbour a degree of resentment towards them, which is not healthy, but I have to repress this resentment at work.
How can I hand in my notice? Do you think this is a good idea? I don't need to have secured another job in the meantime because I am financially secure.
