I worked a temporary merchandiser position last year but I ended up quitting because it was in a bad area and I don’t feel safe working in that particular location. I wanted to switch locations but I couldn’t due to a lack of employees at the job. Would you quit a job because of a location?

Probably not without something else lined up. Quitting a job when you don’t have another job in place is always risky. You could be looking at months of unemployment.

Honestly, yeah, I would. Feeling safe at work isn’t negotiable. If the location is stressing you out or putting you in uncomfortable situations, it’s not worth sticking it out just for the job. It sucks they couldn’t switch you, but you did what you had to do. There are always other opportunities that won’t make you feel on edge every shift.
