Should I Quit My Part-Time Job After Early Retirement? 😤

Hey everyone, I need some serious advice here. I'm a 52-year-old who retired early three years ago (yeah, I'm one of those lucky ones with decent savings). But here's the thing - I took this part-time gig thinking it would be fun and keep me busy. Now I'm ready to throw in the towel! 😠 They call me in randomly - sometimes I don't work for weeks, then suddenly they want me three days straight. I can't plan anything because I never know when that dreaded phone call is coming. Yesterday they called asking me to work Friday, but I already had hiking plans! The worst part? My coworkers treat me differently because they know I don't "need" the job. There's this weird tension, like I'm taking opportunities from people who actually need the income. The pay is terrible anyway - I made like $3,200 last year total. I'm losing my mind trying to be on someone else's schedule again after tasting freedom. Should I just quit? How do I handle the guilt of walking away? Anyone else dealt with this kind of situation? 🤔 #EarlyRetirement #WorkplaceStruggles #CareerAdvice #JobCareer
