In Reply To: I sense that this job situation is causing you a lot of pain. My advice is to quit as soon as possible, before your probationary period of at least 90 days (if you have one) is up. Unless something changes dramatically- the job, the people, or your attitude towards the first two), you will continue to suffer. Go ahead and quit, go find yourself something more fulfilling. But next time, look for a job that will give you valuable experience and look past the people. Remember, people come and go- never let a person drive you away from a job and never take a job just because you like the people. That's it.
Message: As long as you are financially available and/or are in an industry that's actively hiring right now, go ahead and quit. Don't torment yourself any longer. You don't have to put this job on your resume at all, so you won't need to answer questions in the future about why you worked for such a short time.
