  • We've all had thoughts about just getting up and walking out of the door of our job and never coming back. But most of us never quit our jobs, we just dream about it. There are a number of reasons why people stay working at a job they hate, but the #1 reason is probably for the 'security' it provides. However, in many cases this 'security' isn't real. And even if it is, is it really worth sacrificing your life and sanity for it? In this video I talk about why you SHOULD quit your job if you hate it. As well as my belief that we are all smart enough to figure out how to support ourselves after quitting a job.

      Hi Ms. Janelle, hope you are doing well. I read your comment makes sense but wouldn't you rather have a job lined up? to give you a scense of relief and peace of mind knowing you have a job to go to once you leave that one? You say your God provides but he also doesn't want us to be ignorant of matters. He wants us to be wise and use critical thinking 🤔. And unless a person has a lover, companion, family relative or friend or 💰to fall back on. And sometimes peoples Gods and belief systems prayers don't always get answered or come to our rescue. And this message goes for any person of any Gods a Buddhist, Muslim, Islam, Jehovah's witnesses, Mormonism, Hinduism, Catholic, and Christianity etc. even that well known book called the Holy Bible saids my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. And ye shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. Just a side note sometimes our God or Gods don't always answer our prayer and may never be answered! then what we gonna do?. So again this is where critical thinking 🤔 comes in, a safety net if you will. Some 💰 to fall back on, a husband or wife, a companion family member or a friend or friends, anyways I wish the best today, tomorrow and along lifes journey. Love and light to you mam.💪🤔🌎🦉

    I quit my job after 4 years and about 7 months. Never thought I'd leave. When you're mentally drained, and you're miserable before you even clock in, no job is worth that. No job, no money is worth your peace. Peace of mind over fortune. It will be ok, trust me. I walked right out and did not look back. I've never believed in giving a 2 week notice. When I'm ready to leave, I leave. When the company is ready to let you go, they let you go without hesitation.

      Serious companies will have layoff payment policies if they have to let you go. Also if they fire you you're entitled to claim benefits while you plan your next mission. Quitting without nothing in place is silly, I have seen too many times people having to return to the same job. It may work for a minority, if you're prone to depression don't quit with nothing in place.

I also said jobs will let you go when they are ready to an that's every company, ove seen people get laid off even after putting in a 2 weeks. I'd never tell someone to stay at a miserable job just because they have nothing in place. They're an adult, they will figure it out, that'll give them opportunities to try new things, find their passion, explore things they like etc. But to stay at a place one is miserable at and not respected is ludicrous, regardless if you have something else in place or not. Choose you, choose your peace of mind, choose your self respect over any occupation.

    I love how practical you are with your advice. There really is no such thing as playing it safe. I have to say it is the most educated who have a tough time with your advice. I used to have a high stress career in education. I wound up leaving it and while I had some ideas of things I could do to make money, I didn't really have a concrete plan. I got a job as a cook at Whole Foods and had an absolute ball! However many of my friends and family were a bit concerned about why someone with a master's degree would be doing something like working in a kitchen. It was a complete departure from the stuffy corporate setting I was used to. But I did it for 6 months until I started teaching cooking classes and freelance writing. So you are right, things do work out, but you have to be willing to take the leap.

    The amount of jobs I quit without a 2 week notice just to get hired within the next few weeks/months I can’t count on two hands. One time I got hired somewhere else the very next day! People are hiring, you just got to really sell yourself and prove you’re an asset. Nobody cares if you leave a 2 week notice, unless you’re on a career path and need credentials for future employers in the same field. I’m not talking about jobs like that though. More like fast food, retail, delivery driving. Stuff like that. People come and go every second at those jobs. Just dip out when you can’t do it anymore, but always plan for the bigger picture. Just don’t repeat the cycle, learn what you can and can’t tolerate, and find something better. It’s a great feeling knowing you can always get another job, trust me… Much love❤️

    I agree with this message. I see all over the internet with people fear mongering about never quitting a job unless you have something else lined up, no matter how toxic of an environment you work in. Or people say it’s much harder to find a job when you don’t currently have a job. I think a good attitude to have is that things almost always end up working out. You can quit a toxic job with nothing else lined up and still make things work. Life is too short to be in a soul-crushing environment day in and day out.
    I was laid off a few weeks ago and I’m making things work. Sure I have to cut back a bit, but my life is not defined by how I make a living or my career status. I’m also getting several interviews which has been an encouraging sign, I’m just trying to stay positive and drown out the negativity I often see from people on the internet (ie. the job market is so bad, it’s impossible to find a job when unemployed, etc.)

    I’m at a job I’m growing to hate more every day. We have been on 7 days a week for over two years. Working every day is really affecting my health. I have a certain amount of money I want to put back before I leave. I’m also in the process of getting my trucks in as good of shape as can before I leave. I’m walking out on the day I get those two things completed.

    Quit my toxic job with nothing lined up, I couldn't take the micromanagement anymore among other things. Looking and applying for another job was my side hustle. It came to the point where I didn't know what date it was, like you mentioned, the same bs day in and day out. Just had 2-3 hours to myself every evening. Now it's been 3 years total since I've been applying left and right, 5 months unemployed.

I haven't even left yet, but knowing the journey I'm about to go on is enough to make my life so much better. And not having the stress of that job every day has really helped too

    I needed this. I’ve quit so many times that I often get criticised. It’s sad because it has made it hard for me to find a job. I am currently in a job where I am over worked. I work about 14 hours a day and no breaks, no food, nothing. I get paid well, but I don’t think it’s worth it. It has affected and I have been there there 7 months. I think I might quit this job, I am so afraid because I need it, but I can’t stand what it is doing to me.

    Hi Timothy,
    Thanks for sharing .
    My field is dental, I recently started a new job. I realised on my first day this work place is very toxic. Alot of gossiping and undermining. I told myself hang on for a few more days. The final straw was yesterday. My manager was discussing my personal business to my colleagues soo unprofessional. I’ve always been a person I’m not scared to more on. I will find something eventually. Its all about taking a risk. I hate feeling like a prisoner in a workplace. We spend a lot our life at work, why must I be unhappy and lose my sanity. I found a job as cleaner and to be honest I’m more happy doing this than being a dental assistant.

    I've quit 2 super toxic jobs so far. When I quit the last one (after ~4 months) I was so relieved I couldn't stop crying. I just started a new job about a month ago, and so far it's going really well! I can see it being something I stick with for the foreseeable future. :-)
    I think we need to teach more people that it's OK to walk away from something that you're not comfortable with, and it doesn't make you a bad person or a bad employee to find something that will make you happier.

      There was a toxic job I quit, I was so happy that I cheered out loud and took a picture so I can remember that I survived the struggle. 3 years at a car dealership and almost everyday there was a customer was 11/10 angry and used the workers like emotional sponges. Plus other bad stuff like unreasonable time limits on car maintenance.

    Some years ago, I had two jobs, loving one, hating the other. I had no guts to quit the one I hated. Something happened (it wasn't my fault) and my manager wanted to fire me. I could have made a solid case for myself and could have won, thus keeping my job. Instead, I said "I'm guilty, fire me" and it was one of the best things that happened to me. It allowed me to focus on my other job, the one I loved. I have been grateful ever since to God, the Universe, whatever you want to call It, and have decided to support each and every person in quitting their job, should that job be a toxic presence in their life! I urge everyone to provide all the support they can to people around them who want to quit and do not know how! Trust me, you've got this! Thanks, Tim!

One if the things while I was planning to quit is that I kept it to myself other than y’all my best friend of 25 years. She’s a free spirit with no fear and doubt and I knew her energy would support my decision.
