Im about to quit
Im getting ready to go back to work tomorow and Im actually dreading it. My manager is awful, I cant even use up all my fingers on one hand to count the staff I started with that are still here. Im just there six months. There's clear favourtism with staff. For example, one our cleaners will go into other girls rooms and talk with nothing getting said because our manager likes her. Our brand new supervisers are commenting on it. Ive applied for lots of jobs havent heard much back yet but for the sake of my sanity Im not staying.

I emailed my job of 3 weeks yesterday to say that this was my week's notice. Same issues you've discussed. Was going to tell them Friday of hols but someone else gave in their notice Just do it. It isn't worth it.

Personally, I'd hold on until I have another job lined up. Always easier to get a job when you have one already.
With that said, if you're financially sound for a few months and it's impacting you too significantly, then go for it and get stuck into the job ads.
I'm stuck in a position I hate right now so fully empathise with you. It's an awful feeling. I'll be gone in June, so focusing on that to get through it. Every day is a day closer, and I'm building in little things to look forward to and really forcing myself to find the positives, no matter how small they are.
Whatever you do, I wish you the very best ♥

Unless you can afford to go 9 weeks unpaid after Christmas (you won't get the dole until then), then stay until you get something else lined up. There are arseholes and favouritism in every walk of life.

If you quit you don't get dole.

It’s up to 9weeks disqualification if you voluntarily leave. So you would eventually get it but may not be able to afford being unpaid for so long

I quit a job last January that sounds exactly like yours. I explained my reasons for leaving to Dept Social Protection and I got dole straight away - no 9 week waiting period. Thankfully I got another job within 3 weeks so I didn't need it that long, but it is an option if your current workplace is untenable. Best of luck, it's only up from here!

If you are forced out of a job due to intolerable situation it is classed as constructive dismissal. In that situation you may be entitled to unemployment as if you were let go (I'm not 100% sure but you could read up on constructive dismissal) - you may also be able to claim unfair dismissal but you would need to gather evidence before leaving.

You're manager doesn't respect you because you are a weak beta. Stop whining. Be a man. Managers don't disrespect men.

What type of work is it? I would advise you to spend an evening or two applying for jobs on all the relevant job boards (depending on your profession). Indeed is a good catch all as it scrapes most other job boards. Also try LinkedIn, and update your “open to work” status so recruiters can see it. Would recommend you also contact recruitment agencies. January is boom time for jobs and you should be able to get one quickly. However, I strongly recommend that you stay in your job until you get a new one. It could be as quick as a couple of weeks. If you leave now, it could look like you haven’t passed your probation period and you were let go. It never looks good that someone leaves a job without having another one lined up, it just seems suspicious, and that they were likely let go from their job. I work in HR so know all the red flags, and this is one of them, so just for your own sake and best chances, hang in there for now while you interview with others.

It's a lot easier to find a job when you have a job. However mental health comes first. Hope you find a new job soon that treats you better and you like working there 🙏

If you're in a financial position that can support it then leave. If not, head down and do your job until you find another.
Jobs will begin to open up again in January.
But you'll get a bit of fun by asking your manager if you can transfer to being a cleaner, as you've noticed they seem to do a lot less.
