text: should i stay or quit? i'm holding two jobs at the same time currently. however, my first job is no longer active for almost 2 months. i'm shifting my time and effort for my second job. if i quit my first job, i'll have to compensate them for the allowance i've took when i joined them. what should i do? better you speak to ur current employer about this and try to settle the amount in your first company.. i expect they will agree for that..  better work in a single company... that's betetr always.!!
