I worked as a Technical Support Job and yesterday was my last working day. Everyday of the job was full of anxiety and depression and thank goodness I quit that disgusting job.
@@radeonblue1816 im a tech support in verizon in the philippines and im just trying to enjoy it. but its toxic if your gonna let it be toxic every job is toxic in my opinion haha
I quit my job 2 days ago and I’m thinking back to my fear based mentality... but I am happier than ever before. I’m excited for this new chapter in my life, I know I am going to be blessed & my future is full with abundance
@@sakura0291 Lol Yes! So do I! I'm watching this right now instead of working because I quit!...Until an email comes through with someone asking me for something...
I can relate to all of this but I'll give a perspective from someone a little older. I'm 41 and I left my last position working for someone else back in my 20s. I saw your other video and your story is almost identical to my own. I started my career right out of college in an amazing position, at a great company. Five years into my career, I was sitting in a pointless weekly Monday morning status meeting and all I could think was "this is wasting my life." I got up, walked back to my desk and wrote my resignation. I started my business the next day. But I was ready. I had savings. I had leads on contract work I could dive right into. I had a business plan I'd been working on for months. That was just the day I'd officially had enough. I did have a marriage, a kid on the way, and a brand new home. But I was prepared. I always tell my friends about how prepared I was when they talk about quitting their jobs. But it's completely possible. I actually did it the exact same way my dad did. And my life as a kid was better because I had a dad who worked for himself and I wanted that same life for my kids. 13.5 years since I turned in that resignation and it's still going great.
@@VincentChan Currently taking the summer off. I have a lot of offers but for now I am going to take my time before entertaining a new opportunity. I'm in no Rush and the way things have been its best to make a good calculated decision before I jump into a new adventure best thing for me right now is to just take my time. My field is Sales and I can bring the business to the table I just want to make sure my future.moves are with the right company.
I want to quit everyday because it seems like every company I worked for(especially the current one) hired or has the worst upper management, and I wonder how some of these companies started with such disorganization.
i relate to this strongly. i quit my job two weeks ago. i worked at walmart, and the store i was in was very disorganized and it had poor management. they even wanted to take me out of the position i signed up for to another position, work more hours without any pay raise. i felt like i was getting drained mentally and when i quit, my family was like ‘what happened? why do you always quit your jobs?’ and i could NEVER find somebody who understands how i feel. i don’t know if it’s because people are so fixated on survival that my decision to them seems irrational… or if this is me seeing the truth for what it is and deciding what’s best for me!
I quit a few weeks ago my job of 8 years . . I made about 21$ hour but it was a very physical job… highly replaceable… started doing Uber I was matching the pay with less hours worked with just working in peak hours so now I can pursue a career in personal training y’all wish me luck 🍀
I just got my dream job 3 months ago, and now I just handed in my resignation letter. After the first month of work I never had time for myself, I don't eat well or sleep well and my body became weak, I once almost collapsed when I went to the market and my weekends were literally another weekday. At first I thought it was normal and it would get better, it didn't and I got scared because I just started and nothing was improving and my boss would complain I was lagging behind even when I was at my sleepless night best. I couldn't even keep another job because this job took up my full day everyday, I had a conversation about it with my boss and tried to explain why I was lagging behind and I was told I'm not the only one with other things going on in their life and nothing improved if anything it got worse and I even got verbal insults. Now I've handed in my letter suddenly working became better and I got scared I made the wrong choice to quite. Honestly it's talks with friends and more experienced people that helped my put my foot down in leaving my job. I really hope this was the right step
I've been around a long time. When interviewing or even just researching a job the red flags are there. Lack of respect for work life balance. Political environment with less capable managers. A 90 minute or 2 hour commute with logistical issues. Or bad tech / systems they will make you use. Whatever it is, trust your instincts. Shop around. There will be another opportunity with similar pay and no flags.
You are not alone, I quit my last job first time in my life I left a job on my own. I was not sleeping or eating much, Monday felt like Friday. Three people left earlier in the year, they didn't replace any of them just shifted more work around. I was maybe sleeping two or three hours a night and then asked for vacation and they said no too many people were out. I guess that was kind of the straw that broke the back. Now I am taking care of myself not really looking hard and going to the gym,. Got rid of eating cereal and started eating better. Now I feel better but still have some medical issues. 9-5 downtown in a cubical just is not for me anymore.
@@skepticbb93 I always ask why the last person in the position left. If they keep hiring over and over again that is a huge red flag. Sometimes they will tell you and be honest other times they give vague answers but at least ask. Anything over a hour commute is a non starter for anyone I would say. People just don't last when they have a long commute.
OMG the toxic impact... exactly what I felt in my last job. It's like it turned me into a beast lol. Guysss other reasons can be reconsidered, BUT NOT A TOXIC JOB THAT AFFECTS YOUR MENTAL HEALTH, PLEASE QUIT!!!!
🥳🥳🥳 I was in one .. and thought it was no longer toxic because all those created that inviroment left . But after I quit 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️I realized it was just bad .
That's where I'm at. At first I told myself the changes were just temporary and that things would improve. 18 months later and my mental health has only deteriorated. Not to mention my life was filled with all kinds of personal goals and dreams that I put on pause to focus on getting through a difficult patch at work. I'm beginning to realise that I haven't put those goals on hold, I've thrown them away.
@@bandobandit353 feel you. I have recently changed my spending habits and started saving up that cushion. I am so scared of failure it’s crippling but I feel like if I keep doing this toxic job I’ll just get a heart attack at 24 or something. Only thing keeping me going is the thought of leaving prepared and quoting at the right timing…. I should have done it ages ago.
hey just quit my job. I think youtube’s algorithm sensed it and lead me to your videos. Scared but excited for the new path I’m going to make for myself.
You have to carefully assess yourself. This is my weekly topic for my own subscribers. Career. One thing that can really bring a person into depression is 40 hours a week of hating their job. The job is literally almost half of the waking life. The problem many people have is that they have a craving for security. The person will tolerate being unhappy if that is their normality. People would rather have secure bitterness than the fear of stepping off the cliff. The fact is that you can change your career anytime. At 40 or 50. I once knew a car salesman of 30 years who did really well but started to hate his job--so became a nurse at 57. He is now a travel contractor. His friends told him he would be 57 by the time he got licensed as an RN. He told them he would be 57 anyway. So he will now spend the next ten years doing something he likes instead of something he hates. But you have to decide if it is life on the sea you hate or just that ship you're traveling on. In other words--do you hate your trade or just the company you're at? But whatever you aren't happy with you must change and continue to advance yourself. Hope this helps someone---Charles.
It’s 2021, if your job isn’t giving you that satisfaction and fulfillment, time to move on. Life’s too short and unpredictable to stay in a job you’re not happy with 🤨🧐
Couldn't have said that better. These jobs don't pay, or appreciate their employees that's why so many are rage quitting, and I am going to be one of those people in 2022.
@@1sexysportsfan that's BS...notice how every other disease suddenly ended? Tool of the MSM, even at 700K it's 18 people per day per state...more likely to die of shark attack, 1 in a million..smoking and "legal drugs" kill 2400 a day...so stfu with your lame numbers
due to the pandemic, I lost my job and was forced to do business, I thought it was the end for me due to financial problems, but after sometime my business grew and as of today I already have 3 branches of it. The lesson is that, at first we thought that we lose something big but then we realize without losing something we cant gain something which is destined for us to be better.
At work, many of us are forced to be around people we would not let in our circle if we had a choice. That’s the main reason working at a company can suck. IMO. I long for freedom from this, and am trying to figure out how to how to retire early.
@@perkyb1213 :) …. It’s your ticket out of the rat race. Buy a piece of land in a state that has loose homesteading laws, and you live off the land. You can still have WiFi, etc but you are basically debt free. You build your own house, get your water supply, grow your own food, have minimal financial bills, And enjoy time with nature, your spouse, family. You don’t need to work a job to make X amount of $. You could skip the college route entirely if you are this type of person. I’m just about there myself but I’m a keep going a bit longer. If I was 18’again, I would do this from the get go.
The reason why I wanted to quit my job in hopefully less than 8 years is because I wanna be the owner of my time. When I work for a company/organisation, it feels like I sold the ownership of my time. And I wanted it back ^^
I want to quit my job for mostly the same reasons as you did. I feel like my job serves no purpose. I'm not accomplishing anything, moving toward anything, and I feel no passion for my job. Everyday I get to work I spent 8 hours doing menial work, sending template emails to clients, making coffee, and planning meetings. Being in lockdown the past few months has made me realise how much I love spending time with my family and having time for myself instead of being at work from dawn til dusk. Life is too short to do something you're not passionate about just for the money right?
OMG this is exactly word to word how I feel after the lockdown.i don't have enough time to spend with my family,including my parents. I feel no passion and not adding any skills
You're getting really good with the comedic writing man, love the growth! Had some great moments in here. Great content as well. Might not quit tomorrow, but it's coming
I quit my job 3 weeks ago.. and it was the best move I did.! Your right when you say it drains all your energy.. now I'm happy working for my self.. it's one step closer to freedom!
I needed this so much. I have been working with the same company for 7 years. I work as an online English teacher . And within those 7 years, I have been shouted at and cursed at by my students. I told management about it and they did nothing. They said that students will either like you or not and that I should never take it personally. I came to a point wherein I forced myself to work, making matters worse. I cried myself to sleep and I developed work anxiety. Thank you for being the voice I wanted to hear these years. Now I'm sending applications to different companies. Anxious to start again but I need this. I have to do this for myself. Planning to move back in with my mom for the time being to save money and stop renting for the time being until I can financially support myself again.
I want to quit my job for one simple reason. I’m tired of feeling like the struggle that younger me went through to get this far was a waste. I promised myself it would be better and I’m determined to keep my promise
My last day is this Friday September 3rd. Been working in the same field/company for 17 years. I'm done with my job , like he said in the video I don't hate my coworkers or the employer etc.. but I AM DONE. It's time to move on to better things an not just the same old routine anymore.
@@itsDjjayyArt my plan is to not go back into the work trap as i once fell deeply into, Take care of me For once , enjoy being a father an enjoy life. Embrace every single moment, even the hardest painful ones, because those are the lessons of life. Take care my friend.
New subscriber and I'm on a Vincent marathon. LOVE your channel! Funny, how I just watched "I quit my $120,000.00 job" and now I'm watching this. I'm working at a corporate world and I can vouch everything you said Xs 100. I am trying to strategize my resignation. People leave management NOT their job. I work at one of the most toxic workplaces where abuse of power is rewarded. Management constantly schedule unnecessary ZOOM meetings just to keep their jobs.
Oh my god, I have that exact same bad habit you talk about at 6:00, my wife is constantly catching me and saying "what are you sighing about now?!". I feel like you're my twin, in every aspect lol. Saw your "Quit my $120,000 job" video and came to this one after. It's funny how the timing of it worked, because I JUST did most if not all of these things right before coming across your channel. It's great to watch these videos shortly afterward, which reinforce my thoughts and decisions :)
I hope this new endeavor works out for you. A lot of the things you talked about really made sense to me. I was laid off from my job after 33 years in corporate America. I was lucky enough to leave with a severance package that allowed me to take a step back to consider my next move. I have quickly realized that I should have left the company several years prior to the layoff. After 10 months at home feeling frustrated while trying to get a home business off the ground you are making some really good points. I will continue to watch your videos for inspiration and guidance as I too move along this dark, scary new path. Thank you!
I’ve been wanting to quit my job for awhile now but I’m still holding to it thinking that maybe it’s just temporary feeling or I’m being too emotional but after listened to u I have every signs that u mention. Now I’m taking the risk management seriously and hoping I can quit by end of this year. Wish me luck 🙂
I'm glad I watched this. There are so many people just casually quitting their main jobs and it brings on this ease for other people to think that they can do the same. My situation is not someone else's situation. Each situation is unique
Everything you said was me the last 6 years. I luckily saved money and quit my job this year. I was depressed, almost burned out, didn't want to talk about work, the work environment was and still is toxic and just my coworkers were awesome. I was thinking about quitting for one year, so definitely nobody should do it without being sure. Thanks for your awesome videos. ❤️ And I'm definitely running towards being a successful, self employed artist. I also do not need fancy things. I want time and live. ❤️
That's so great you were able to save enough money to quit! Curious if you found another job/work stream or were able to retire completely with the savings?
@@nikkian9254 I didn't retire completely (the money would have lasted for 2 years, so enough time for me to heal) but I only work part-time now and this is the best solution for me. But I am saving money again for the future and in case I need it again. I can work on my passion (art) and still have the safety of getting money each month. Feels good currently 😊
I quit and became a freelancer, almost a year passed and it's great! I take time to do whatever I want, take vacations to travel when I want to, without asking for permission of my boss. No toxic work colleagues. I chose my clients. I usually work also on weekends, but can spend a whole day on Monday doing private stuff I have to do. Love this life.
For whatever reason, this video is recommended to me. Everything resonated with me, especially the toxic part. I caught myself waking up angry because of work, I start raising my voice and speak very fast every time I talk about work. I think it's time to leave, but that fear of not having a steady income is making it difficult.
Tomorrow’s my last day at work been sitting on quitting for a couple months, I’ve got money Saved up and I’m going to school. Was pretty nervous about it but excited to see what comes next. Really like your videos and what you’re trying to do, good luck to you and everyone who decides to do the same!
I quit my job last week and I feel satisfied with my mental peace. Now I can learn what I wanted to. I'm also a college student and I feel you in this video.
@@itsDjjayyArt Agree. I studied design in college and feel like it was unnecessary. I could have learned design online in less than 4 years. I should've gotten a science degree to make it more worth it.
@@itsDjjayyArt Agreed. Started my career at 19, at 21 I'm now changing jobs and making 60k. Everyone around me has degrees but I hardly got out of highschool.
Been through the same situation in 2019, glad I saved something and quit that toxic job. Although 2020 was difficult and seemed like I made a bad decision or wrong timing, but feels much better now. The longer it takes you to realize the fact that corporates are renting out your lives and you are nothing more than what you contribute, the more painful it gets.
This just autoplayed on my RUclips. I realised long ago (when I was 15 and did 2 weeks work experience in an office after which I vowed I would never work in an office again) that I hate being employed and have been avoiding having full time jobs for other people for years. I really enjoyed how you present all this info - you are so entertaining! My life mantra is similar; keep your standards high and your expectations low. (+Multiple income streams are the key!)
I want to quit my job because i have other passions in life. I want to spend more time with my family and i want to travel more with my family. With my passion of photography i also want to help other people, thats why i started a YT channel about photography. I hope this will grow so big that i can quit my "normal" job. i don’t want to be dependent from somebody else to get food on the table for my family.
I quit in April 2021. One downside of quitting has been daily activity structure without external pressure. In many ways I am institutionalized to let the work determine the day. Without it I have not been as productive on my own
I did it. Boss was shocked but life is too short to not follow your dreams! Working in something I'm actually interested in now and I'm so excited for what's to come!
Yeah and then some guy behind me honks at the cars in front of me losing his temper. And I'm like why do I drive an hour to work in this snob town, which happens to also be my hometown lol?!
OMG! I always do the heavy sighs. Now I know why. I also do alot of deep breaths to help me calm down and keep me from jumping across the room and slapping my boss.
My savings technique: first I saved for things I wanted but once I saved enough I'd move the goalpost. Then I saved for freedom, enough to replace something if it broke, then I saved to buy back my time and give myself breathing room to make my own decisions about my life. Money for rent, food, school for the kids etc. We saved enough that we can quit (my wife did and is employed again) or move overseas towards new opportunities. Most of the money I spent was done trying to make myself feel better about my work so I saved to buy back my own peace of mind and freedom. :)
Ive been looking for a new job, I work at mcdonalds and get treated like shit all day from customers and managers every day and they constantly switch me from morning and night shifts and always call me in on my days off and all for minimal wage. i just got yelled at by a manager for clarifying a customers order which pushed me to look for a new job, every night after my shift i just feel like ima start crying.
Get out of that job! I felt a heavy negative feeling just reading how you’re treated at your job. Jobs nowadays are a dime a dozen! What good is the money if you’re miserable earning it. I’d rather be poor and happy.
Hope you didn't stay. My daughter worked at MacDonald and was treated poorly. Please quit! She is in a better job! Never tolerate being mistreated. Nice people get taken advantage of but find a good ones who would appreciate you!
Wow I really loved this video. You articulated everything so well with examples from your own life. I've been feeling so drained and burnt out for the past year and I can relate to everything you said. Being an MBA grad I have everything I want, and yet I just spent all my time stressing about work and treating everything and everyone around me in a shitty way, which is very unlike me. I don't want to live like that anymore. I've now watched several of your videos in a row and you've gained a new subscriber in me. Keep it up and can't wait to watch all your future videos.
I don’t mind my job, it’s my manager. A classic narcissist. She often raises her voice at me over the smallest things or things that aren’t my fault, she mocks my disability and doesn’t respect it all. I’ve only been here 5 months and reporting her to HR and letting them know I’m looking for a new job. They have had issues with my boss in the past but haven’t done anything. I’m out once I get a new one.
I left the Army after 5 years of service. The first 3 years were pretty good. I had good community, good learning experiences, and I felt like I had a purpose, sort of. The last 2 years however, were what you described. Toxic workplace that wrecked my mental health, toxic leadership that wrecked the community (everyone looking out for their own best interest instead of the good of the group), shifting away from structured and purposeful work to more degrading, meaningless details wrecking my basic desire to apply myself. It made me realize that decent pay and benefits are worthless if my mental health is in the ditch and I'm never happy. Decent pay and benefits are well and good if you can be happy, but it's more important to be happy, even if you have to sacrifice your buying power.
love this type of mindset, I have zero interest in climbing the corprate ladder too,everything is superficial in the corprate world, risk managment is key if you want to free yourself diversify income is the best way.
Doing meaningful work, yes, that is the reason I went into my career. I have gone so far away from that goal in my current job. I am definitely doing something about this.
Thanks for your insights, dude. Like you, I just want to wake up on a Monday morning without dreading to go to work, or basically just have a good Sunday night's sleep without anxiety which keeps me awake all night just thinking that work week is coming and I'll be facing my toxic boss and colleagues.
@@CAPS_AMERICA Programming. I came to the conclusion that I don’t mind the job itself, it’s just the commute and sitting in a cubicle all day. So I’m looking for fully remote roles right now.
True story. In 2013 I quit my job to fulfill my dream of owning a home in a state almost halfway across the country. I didn’t have a job lined up & drove my son & our dog to our new place. I chose not to work for 7 months (was financially able to do this) & landed a great job. Still at this job after almost 10 years, but I’m feeling that pull to get up and go again. My son is now 23 & has been living on his own. My job values me (even gave me two raises totaling 18% within 10 months time, but I am no longer feeling fulfilled or connected to what I do. I just told them yesterday that I want to cut my hours & they agreed. Luckily, I also accrue a LOT of vacation time, so I’m going to use that time to figure out the next chapter in my life. I always feel the most anxious when I ignore what my inner voice tells me. I have found that when I follow my heart, things always work out & it’s OK to break out of my comfort zone & try new things.
@thecustomkit awesome. I ended up giving 1.5 months notice in May & my last day was on 7/1/22. I feel free & less stressed. I worked in a very dangerous area, so putting $, stress & safety concerns over my life & wellbeing, was not worth it to me. I know I did the right thing by leaving. They tried to get me to stay by offering to hire me an assistant, but I said no. Thanks for asking!
Brooooooo! This video was awesome! The “sigh” beat was so good. Hahaha. I just quit my 9-5 job due to my creativity and happiness being sucked out like a dementor. Stoked for the future and loving your channel. Get it!
Time for me to quit. LMAO. I sigh EVERY DAY. I dread going back. Thank you. I want to quit because I want to live my life to its fullest - doing what I love. Which is being a full time RUclipsr. Having my own schedule. Not having to answer someone else or feel bad when I take off. I’m running towards my dreams/goals/aspirations.
Running from Vs running toward was critical for me. I stuck it out until I had a plan of where to go to. I changed my career direction significantly, gained greater work life balance. I am so much happier.
@toplespecah666 I decided to cut my days down to four days so I can work on enhancing training or going to barber school. I'm proactively taking care of my health and opportunities. No more limiting beliefs
Why do I want to quit? Not enough pay, too fast-paced sometimes, several or more toxic, insensitive, and narcissistic employees, lack of accountability and communication, high turnover, and no real room for advancement.
Glad you made this follow up video sharing more realistic wisdom…I did quit my managerial job 3 times with 3 Fortune 500 companies even though I loved my jobs. First time was got married n had to move where my husband was getting trained. Second time quit to move to where I want to spend the rest of my life in beautiful San Diego after living 4 yrs in cooooold Rochester. Third time I quit to have more time to raise my kids while start my own business, be my own boss which was a dream I always had in the back of my mind. I always been frugal n hard working n a people person . I used the money we saved to buy my first apartment building in 1984 , then another then another. I create nice comfortable dwelling suitable to my tenants, take good care of them . In 37 yrs met a few bad apples but generally very rewarding mentally financially n gave me time to raise my two great kids with a husband with busy career and richly rewarded on my own right… I’m still frugal n hard working at 70 … your advices are all very wise for those ready to take the plunge or jump ship into a more rewarding life. Best wishes to you and your viewers who are contemplating career move.
Not looking to quit anytime soon - I love my job but want to say I'm glad to have stumbled upon your channel. You have a new follower! I follow a lot of personal finance/credit card channels and your channel has a different feel than others - in a good way! Working toward financial freedom!
I'm quitting my job. In order to pursue my real estate career full-time. I've been trying to juggle a full-time job and do real estate. But it's to much. I'm a good worker. And being a good worker always comes with more responsibilities. Then management starts to depend on you more. And they want you to work more. So it takes time away from me building my business. It's time to go all in.
Nope. I was about to. But they allowed me to hire a person to work the weekends. So I'm going to wait until I have my 6-8 months of bills saved. Then I'm out. How's your progress going?
@@caddymac3 That's a solid plan. My wife and I just have been trying to be more discipline with sticking with a budget to cut down on debt so we can eventually build an emergency account. While that's going, am working on additional earnings outside of the 9-5. Gotta get out of this rat race. It's all consistency and discipline. We'll get there brotha..
I'm working on a new job right now. I wanted to walk out of my current job a number of times because of the idiotic decisions from my boss to upper management. I'm literally the only one in my department with the most skills and they have failed to bring in someone who is similar. I am financially stable. I can live for a year being unemployed if that happens. I'm like more than three months ahead on my mortgage.
I quit my job this year twice, the pandemic has pushed so many people out of their jobs to get better jobs and the better companies are surviving and right now employees have the advantage and can pick their employer. I don't know about the entreprenaurialiship part though, but I speak for the job change and minimalism.
I've just recovered after having a breakdown a few minutes ago because I'd have to go to work again tomorrow. I've tried everything to motivate myself, watched a lot of videos that tell me to be rational about my decisions. Still, here I am, lying in bed having drank my calming medicine and the thought that tomorrow is coming still fills me with dread. I think it's enough reason for me to quit. I don't even want to pursue happiness. I just want to escape this hell hole.
my reasons are simple, high blood pressure levels , some bosses say you good, others say you do not anyway, I know this work is not something i'm really good at and last but not least, is taking the most of my time and my energy, this is stoping me from follow my dreams to become a programmer, and right now there is familly who can support me by the 10 months i need to made it
I climbed the corporate ladder, made it to executive director in one of the top investment bank but I can’t take it anymore. I have saved up and can provide for the next 2 years but I have not build any other income stream over the years. Moral of the story, the more you wait, the harder it gets… more responsibilities at work, family etc. Regardless, I’m ready to move on and live the rest of my life on my own terms.

I just found your channel, and I have to say, having left my dream job due to overwhelming mismanagement I became drained and passionless. I slowly recovered and realize that people always have the worse case scenario view of me leaving a good job after job hunting for over a year. Time passes and I accepted that I need a better job that respects and values my expertise.
Technically, I don't want to quit my job - I don't have one. I'm still in high school, so I think it's kind of normal. What I want is to get educated as far as possible about financial freedom, side hustles, investing and how to be able to control my own life. With that being said, thank you for all your amazing and helpful videos, you're doing a terrific job!!!
I've been working for this company for a year now. I managed to become a top performer for 5 consecutive months, learned new systems within the company that would make me more valuable... New people joining have been under my charge with no additional salary nor a change of position. I want to quit because there are people who joined recently who have managed to move up and actually become my boss... The same people I trained when they joined. I really feel undervalued, looked over, not important, and replaceable. So now! I'm looking to become a top performer for myself. I no longer will give of myself to accomplish someone else's dream, especially when I feel taken advantage of. That's why I'm here, I don't know where to start but I know I need a change.
Bro I have the exact opposite problem as you, I stay for a really long time at a job. I have been at the same job that pays crappy by the way for 10 years, and I feel like I am stuck in a rut that I cannot get out of. I have a very strong desire to go elsewhere as the pay sucks, the benefits suck, and management sucks. I have been looking for a few weeks now, and will continue to look as I have a degree in Network Management, and would love to do that for sure!! I have never wanted to leave somewhere more than where I work right now!! I think I have a huge amount of fear to leave mainly because I have been there for so long, but I am very unhappy and have to leave for a much better opportunity very soon! So to all of the people out there who are unhappy with your job, don't be stupid like me and stay for years, find a better opportunity and pursue it with everything you have! Great video by the way!!
Love your content even though I’m retired at age 59. I can relate only because I retired earlier this year and felt guilty because I chose to retire during a time when many people are losing their jobs or not doing well . Like yours, it was a great corporate job with great pay and benefits but it was soulless and no longer gratifying. I love your humor and style, keep it up. One criticism, check your spelling.
Don't feel guilty about retiring. Doing that opens up a job opportunity for someone else! Besides, where is it written in a stone that you need to work your whole life until you die?
I'm about to quit my job and start my journey as an entrepreneur. I'm tired of the corporate system that does nothing but screw over good employees a lot of the time. I was promised a raised and signed paperwork at my current job. I looked at my paychecks today and realized they have not be paying me for the agreed amount that day we signed off on. They also said that they would not pay me the backpay. Glad I got into investing this year and making my money work for me. I have a backup plan. I make up 40% of their business and now my time wont be invested in them anymore, but in myself. I'm going to be a successful investor and entrepreneur with various sources of passive income. Thank you for your videos. They've helped me gain insight.
this channel and this guy are different refreshing and new to me. You are a golden boy dude im learning a lot from you rn and it is so valuable. THANKS SO MUCH! You give me hope
yah your right, what is value of money if it swallow up your whole life... I have to find something that I can still spend time for my self while working. not feeling a robot at all.
just quit my job today. although I know I am going to quit till the first day. I always liked sharing my thoughts so I am gonna keep doing that while starting my own business. I am and i don't think that's late to do anything. start small and grow big on the way
I hate it- I need to vent this. I don't think I can take it anymore at what was supposed to be the "dream" position- I finally got a full time job as a Media Marketing Coordinator at an animal organization- PERFECT for an animal lover and creative person like me, right?....At first, I was SO excited and ready to learn and improve my skills. What really ended up happening was a disorganized mess, crappy communication, and a workload meant for an entire team is composed of TWO people. From start to finish. I finally realized how badly it's affecting me because of the physical signs like losing weight, hot flashes, heart palpitations, uncontrollable shaking, and more that I couldn't shoo away or ignore. Even visiting my parents noticed how frail and terrible I looked and were so upset to see me like that. I work so hard even worrying about my work outside of paid hours, getting calls and emails when I'm supposed to be off...I don't think there's room for compromise- I'm taking the risk and lining up a new job (scary) and once that happens, I'm gone.

@@henrytep8884 That seems like the fad nowadays.
I can relate to all of this but I'll give a perspective from someone a little older. I'm 41 and I left my last position working for someone else back in my 20s. I saw your other video and your story is almost identical to my own. I started my career right out of college in an amazing position, at a great company. Five years into my career, I was sitting in a pointless weekly Monday morning status meeting and all I could think was "this is wasting my life." I got up, walked back to my desk and wrote my resignation. I started my business the next day.
But I was ready. I had savings. I had leads on contract work I could dive right into. I had a business plan I'd been working on for months. That was just the day I'd officially had enough.
I did have a marriage, a kid on the way, and a brand new home. But I was prepared. I always tell my friends about how prepared I was when they talk about quitting their jobs. But it's completely possible. I actually did it the exact same way my dad did. And my life as a kid was better because I had a dad who worked for himself and I wanted that same life for my kids. 13.5 years since I turned in that resignation and it's still going great.
That's important, that you are ready and with enough savings
I already have enough savings, but still hard to thinking about what could I do/make after quitting... I know I want to be my own boss 🥵
superbe story, thanks for sharing

@@Native722 you are not scared to start your own business, you are scared to fail in the business!

I quit my job July 15th. Best business career decision I have ever made.
What?
That's awesome. How come?
Good
that's awesome david! What are you up to nowadays?
@@VincentChan Currently taking the summer off. I have a lot of offers but for now I am going to take my time before entertaining a new opportunity. I'm in no Rush and the way things have been its best to make a good calculated decision before I jump into a new adventure best thing for me right now is to just take my time. My field is Sales and I can bring the business to the table I just want to make sure my future.moves are with the right company.
I want to quit everyday because it seems like every company I worked for(especially the current one) hired or has the worst upper management, and I wonder how some of these companies started with such disorganization.
yeah management is super important in the happiness of a company. there's a quote that says “employees don’t quit their job, they quit their boss,”
Yes to this a thousand times! I feel your pain. Hang in there until we have a new direction.
Start going to interviews and do shadowing and then you might have an idea what you looking for!😃
i relate to this strongly. i quit my job two weeks ago. i worked at walmart, and the store i was in was very disorganized and it had poor management. they even wanted to take me out of the position i signed up for to another position, work more hours without any pay raise. i felt like i was getting drained mentally and when i quit, my family was like ‘what happened? why do you always quit your jobs?’ and i could NEVER find somebody who understands how i feel. i don’t know if it’s because people are so fixated on survival that my decision to them seems irrational… or if this is me seeing the truth for what it is and deciding what’s best for me!
@@VincentChan one of the truest idioms since Corporate America started w/o question.
I quit a few weeks ago my job of 8 years . . I made about 21$ hour but it was a very physical job… highly replaceable… started doing Uber I was matching the pay with less hours worked with just working in peak hours so now I can pursue a career in personal training y’all wish me luck 🍀

I just got my dream job 3 months ago, and now I just handed in my resignation letter. After the first month of work I never had time for myself, I don't eat well or sleep well and my body became weak, I once almost collapsed when I went to the market and my weekends were literally another weekday.
At first I thought it was normal and it would get better, it didn't and I got scared because I just started and nothing was improving and my boss would complain I was lagging behind even when I was at my sleepless night best. I couldn't even keep another job because this job took up my full day everyday, I had a conversation about it with my boss and tried to explain why I was lagging behind and I was told I'm not the only one with other things going on in their life and nothing improved if anything it got worse and I even got verbal insults. Now I've handed in my letter suddenly working became better and I got scared I made the wrong choice to quite. Honestly it's talks with friends and more experienced people that helped my put my foot down in leaving my job.
I really hope this was the right step
This is me at the moment Daniella. You're not alone. Things will get better once we prioritize our well-being.
I've been around a long time. When interviewing or even just researching a job the red flags are there. Lack of respect for work life balance. Political environment with less capable managers. A 90 minute or 2 hour commute with logistical issues. Or bad tech / systems they will make you use. Whatever it is, trust your instincts. Shop around. There will be another opportunity with similar pay and no flags.
You are not alone, I quit my last job first time in my life I left a job on my own. I was not sleeping or eating much, Monday felt like Friday. Three people left earlier in the year, they didn't replace any of them just shifted more work around. I was maybe sleeping two or three hours a night and then asked for vacation and they said no too many people were out. I guess that was kind of the straw that broke the back. Now I am taking care of myself not really looking hard and going to the gym,. Got rid of eating cereal and started eating better. Now I feel better but still have some medical issues. 9-5 downtown in a cubical just is not for me anymore.
@@skepticbb93 I always ask why the last person in the position left. If they keep hiring over and over again that is a huge red flag. Sometimes they will tell you and be honest other times they give vague answers but at least ask. Anything over a hour commute is a non starter for anyone I would say. People just don't last when they have a long commute.
9:20 Distinction between running from and running toward, focus energy on what you are running toward. This is the pearl of this video. Brilliant.
Balancing gratitude without settling is definitely a helpful tool for the journey.
Totally agree!
OMG the toxic impact... exactly what I felt in my last job. It's like it turned me into a beast lol. Guysss other reasons can be reconsidered, BUT NOT A TOXIC JOB THAT AFFECTS YOUR MENTAL HEALTH, PLEASE QUIT!!!!
I hear you. The constant anxiety, the dread in opening emails, accounting for every minute of your day... its soul sucking
🥳🥳🥳 I was in one .. and thought it was no longer toxic because all those created that inviroment left . But after I quit 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️I realized it was just bad .
That's where I'm at. At first I told myself the changes were just temporary and that things would improve. 18 months later and my mental health has only deteriorated. Not to mention my life was filled with all kinds of personal goals and dreams that I put on pause to focus on getting through a difficult patch at work. I'm beginning to realise that I haven't put those goals on hold, I've thrown them away.
@@bandobandit353 feel you. I have recently changed my spending habits and started saving up that cushion. I am so scared of failure it’s crippling but I feel like if I keep doing this toxic job I’ll just get a heart attack at 24 or something. Only thing keeping me going is the thought of leaving prepared and quoting at the right timing…. I should have done it ages ago.
Its hard to say because you need that money...but you know you have to scarifies your life....
I quit my job and my mental health and life has gotten better. There’s so much out there!
hey just quit my job. I think youtube’s algorithm sensed it and lead me to your videos. Scared but excited for the new path I’m going to make for myself.

You have to carefully assess yourself. This is my weekly topic for my own subscribers. Career. One thing that can really bring a person into depression is 40 hours a week of hating their job. The job is literally almost half of the waking life. The problem many people have is that they have a craving for security. The person will tolerate being unhappy if that is their normality. People would rather have secure bitterness than the fear of stepping off the cliff. The fact is that you can change your career anytime. At 40 or 50. I once knew a car salesman of 30 years who did really well but started to hate his job--so became a nurse at 57. He is now a travel contractor. His friends told him he would be 57 by the time he got licensed as an RN. He told them he would be 57 anyway. So he will now spend the next ten years doing something he likes instead of something he hates. But you have to decide if it is life on the sea you hate or just that ship you're traveling on. In other words--do you hate your trade or just the company you're at? But whatever you aren't happy with you must change and continue to advance yourself. Hope this helps someone---Charles.
He would be 57 anyway..

100% agreed thank you
Covid has shown us exactly this. Almost 700,000 people whose lives were cut short.
Couldn't have said that better. These jobs don't pay, or appreciate their employees that's why so many are rage quitting, and I am going to be one of those people in 2022.
starving to death and being homeless isnt very fullfilling either.
@@1sexysportsfan that's BS...notice how every other disease suddenly ended? Tool of the MSM, even at 700K it's 18 people per day per state...more likely to die of shark attack, 1 in a million..smoking and "legal drugs" kill 2400 a day...so stfu with your lame numbers
due to the pandemic, I lost my job and was forced to do business, I thought it was the end for me due to financial problems, but after sometime my business grew and as of today I already have 3 branches of it. The lesson is that, at first we thought that we lose something big but then we realize without losing something we cant gain something which is destined for us to be better.
Wow ,, your story is very inspiring
At work, many of us are forced to be around people we would not let in our circle if we had a choice. That’s the main reason working at a company can suck. IMO. I long for freedom from this, and am trying to figure out how to how to retire early.
Exactly!!!!
Have you considered homesteading?
@@themiddleclasstaxslave651 um. What’s that?
@@perkyb1213 :) …. It’s your ticket out of the rat race. Buy a piece of land in a state that has loose homesteading laws, and you live off the land. You can still have WiFi, etc but you are basically debt free. You build your own house, get your water supply, grow your own food, have minimal financial bills,
And enjoy time with nature, your spouse, family. You don’t need to work a job to make X amount of $. You could skip the college route entirely if you are this type of person. I’m just about there myself but I’m a keep going a bit longer. If I was 18’again, I would do this from the get go.
Facts
The reason why I wanted to quit my job in hopefully less than 8 years is because I wanna be the owner of my time. When I work for a company/organisation, it feels like I sold the ownership of my time. And I wanted it back ^^
Same
Same
Yep! 100% agreed
🥺🤗🤗🤗 I'm glad to see others feel the same
Same and I'm nearly thinking of it rn
I want to quit my job for mostly the same reasons as you did. I feel like my job serves no purpose. I'm not accomplishing anything, moving toward anything, and I feel no passion for my job. Everyday I get to work I spent 8 hours doing menial work, sending template emails to clients, making coffee, and planning meetings. Being in lockdown the past few months has made me realise how much I love spending time with my family and having time for myself instead of being at work from dawn til dusk. Life is too short to do something you're not passionate about just for the money right?
OMG this is exactly word to word how I feel after the lockdown.i don't have enough time to spend with my family,including my parents. I feel no passion and not adding any skills
You're getting really good with the comedic writing man, love the growth! Had some great moments in here. Great content as well. Might not quit tomorrow, but it's coming

What do you do now if you don’t mind me asking?
I needed this so much. I have been working with the same company for 7 years. I work as an online English teacher . And within those 7 years, I have been shouted at and cursed at by my students. I told management about it and they did nothing. They said that students will either like you or not and that I should never take it personally.
I came to a point wherein I forced myself to work, making matters worse. I cried myself to sleep and I developed work anxiety.
Thank you for being the voice I wanted to hear these years. Now I'm sending applications to different companies. Anxious to start again but I need this. I have to do this for myself.
Planning to move back in with my mom for the time being to save money and stop renting for the time being until I can financially support myself again.
How can students curse at teachers? 🥺 The experience might have been horrible
I hope you are now in a better working environment
I want to quit my job for one simple reason. I’m tired of feeling like the struggle that younger me went through to get this far was a waste.
I promised myself it would be better and I’m determined to keep my promise

New subscriber and I'm on a Vincent marathon. LOVE your channel! Funny, how I just watched "I quit my $120,000.00 job" and now I'm watching this. I'm working at a corporate world and I can vouch everything you said Xs 100. I am trying to strategize my resignation. People leave management NOT their job. I work at one of the most toxic workplaces where abuse of power is rewarded. Management constantly schedule unnecessary ZOOM meetings just to keep their jobs.

Oh my god, I have that exact same bad habit you talk about at 6:00, my wife is constantly catching me and saying "what are you sighing about now?!". I feel like you're my twin, in every aspect lol. Saw your "Quit my $120,000 job" video and came to this one after. It's funny how the timing of it worked, because I JUST did most if not all of these things right before coming across your channel. It's great to watch these videos shortly afterward, which reinforce my thoughts and decisions :)
U don’t have a wife
@@levelup2014 lol, k
I do that sigh as well, lol
I hope this new endeavor works out for you. A lot of the things you talked about really made sense to me. I was laid off from my job after 33 years in corporate America. I was lucky enough to leave with a severance package that allowed me to take a step back to consider my next move. I have quickly realized that I should have left the company several years prior to the layoff. After 10 months at home feeling frustrated while trying to get a home business off the ground you are making some really good points. I will continue to watch your videos for inspiration and guidance as I too move along this dark, scary new path. Thank you!
I’ve been wanting to quit my job for awhile now but I’m still holding to it thinking that maybe it’s just temporary feeling or I’m being too emotional but after listened to u I have every signs that u mention. Now I’m taking the risk management seriously and hoping I can quit by end of this year. Wish me luck 🙂
@S T Hello! Its been 6 months. How is it coming along. Did you make the big leap?
Yea did you
I hope you are free now!
hope you're free now!
I'm glad I watched this.
There are so many people just casually quitting their main jobs and it brings on this ease for other people to think that they can do the same.
My situation is not someone else's situation.
Each situation is unique
Everything you said was me the last 6 years. I luckily saved money and quit my job this year. I was depressed, almost burned out, didn't want to talk about work, the work environment was and still is toxic and just my coworkers were awesome. I was thinking about quitting for one year, so definitely nobody should do it without being sure. Thanks for your awesome videos. ❤️ And I'm definitely running towards being a successful, self employed artist. I also do not need fancy things. I want time and live. ❤️
That's why u have a ABCD plan in place
That's so great you were able to save enough money to quit! Curious if you found another job/work stream or were able to retire completely with the savings?
@@nikkian9254 I didn't retire completely (the money would have lasted for 2 years, so enough time for me to heal) but I only work part-time now and this is the best solution for me. But I am saving money again for the future and in case I need it again. I can work on my passion (art) and still have the safety of getting money each month. Feels good currently 😊
I quit and became a freelancer, almost a year passed and it's great! I take time to do whatever I want, take vacations to travel when I want to, without asking for permission of my boss. No toxic work colleagues. I chose my clients. I usually work also on weekends, but can spend a whole day on Monday doing private stuff I have to do. Love this life.
currently working on this. pray for me
For whatever reason, this video is recommended to me. Everything resonated with me, especially the toxic part. I caught myself waking up angry because of work, I start raising my voice and speak very fast every time I talk about work. I think it's time to leave, but that fear of not having a steady income is making it difficult.
Tomorrow’s my last day at work been sitting on quitting for a couple months, I’ve got money Saved up and I’m going to school. Was pretty nervous about it but excited to see what comes next. Really like your videos and what you’re trying to do, good luck to you and everyone who decides to do the same!
Howz life been bro ?? Do u regret the decision cz i jst took a similar one and would like to know ur opinion
I quit my job last week and I feel satisfied with my mental peace. Now I can learn what I wanted to. I'm also a college student and I feel you in this video.
I feel college is a waste if you're not planning on being a doctor, scientist, psychiatrist, bio engineering stem Field, lawyer ect....
@@itsDjjayyArt Agree. I studied design in college and feel like it was unnecessary. I could have learned design online in less than 4 years. I should've gotten a science degree to make it more worth it.
@@itsDjjayyArt Agreed. Started my career at 19, at 21 I'm now changing jobs and making 60k. Everyone around me has degrees but I hardly got out of highschool.
Been through the same situation in 2019, glad I saved something and quit that toxic job. Although 2020 was difficult and seemed like I made a bad decision or wrong timing, but feels much better now. The longer it takes you to realize the fact that corporates are renting out your lives and you are nothing more than what you contribute, the more painful it gets.
I hear you loud and clear.
Quitting tomorrow morning!
This just autoplayed on my RUclips. I realised long ago (when I was 15 and did 2 weeks work experience in an office after which I vowed I would never work in an office again) that I hate being employed and have been avoiding having full time jobs for other people for years. I really enjoyed how you present all this info - you are so entertaining! My life mantra is similar; keep your standards high and your expectations low. (+Multiple income streams are the key!)
I want to quit my job because i have other passions in life. I want to spend more time with my family and i want to travel more with my family.
With my passion of photography i also want to help other people, thats why i started a YT channel about photography. I hope this will grow so big that i can quit my "normal" job. i don’t want to be dependent from somebody else to get food on the table for my family.
I quit in April 2021. One downside of quitting has been daily activity structure without external pressure. In many ways I am institutionalized to let the work determine the day. Without it I have not been as productive on my own
I did it. Boss was shocked but life is too short to not follow your dreams! Working in something I'm actually interested in now and I'm so excited for what's to come!
Your boss was shock as in he/she really didn’t care. I’m glad you found something better
@@mercedeswilkins5566 shocked more so because it was such a quick turn over
Also a professional quitter here as I just quit my job last Tuesday, feeling so liberated now
😅
Holy crap you hit the nail on the head about the heavy sighs and irritability right after work lol
Yeah and then some guy behind me honks at the cars in front of me losing his temper. And I'm like why do I drive an hour to work in this snob town, which happens to also be my hometown lol?!
OMG! I always do the heavy sighs. Now I know why. I also do alot of deep breaths to help me calm down and keep me from jumping across the room and slapping my boss.
My savings technique: first I saved for things I wanted but once I saved enough I'd move the goalpost. Then I saved for freedom, enough to replace something if it broke, then I saved to buy back my time and give myself breathing room to make my own decisions about my life. Money for rent, food, school for the kids etc. We saved enough that we can quit (my wife did and is employed again) or move overseas towards new opportunities. Most of the money I spent was done trying to make myself feel better about my work so I saved to buy back my own peace of mind and freedom. :)
Ive been looking for a new job, I work at mcdonalds and get treated like shit all day from customers and managers every day and they constantly switch me from morning and night shifts and always call me in on my days off and all for minimal wage. i just got yelled at by a manager for clarifying a customers order which pushed me to look for a new job, every night after my shift i just feel like ima start crying.
Keep going you will get to a better place.
Get out of that job! I felt a heavy negative feeling just reading how you’re treated at your job. Jobs nowadays are a dime a dozen! What good is the money if you’re miserable earning it. I’d rather be poor and happy.
Just read your comment and decided to leave with you my best wishes. Hope your life is all better now, friend.
Hope you didn't stay. My daughter worked at MacDonald and was treated poorly. Please quit! She is in a better job! Never tolerate being mistreated. Nice people get taken advantage of but find a good ones who would appreciate you!
Update its been 2 yrs..how's it going for you?
Wow I really loved this video. You articulated everything so well with examples from your own life. I've been feeling so drained and burnt out for the past year and I can relate to everything you said. Being an MBA grad I have everything I want, and yet I just spent all my time stressing about work and treating everything and everyone around me in a shitty way, which is very unlike me. I don't want to live like that anymore. I've now watched several of your videos in a row and you've gained a new subscriber in me. Keep it up and can't wait to watch all your future videos.
MBA - wow ppl keep asking me to further study 📖
Thank you Niru! welcome to the family
Start a youtube channel :)
I don’t mind my job, it’s my manager. A classic narcissist. She often raises her voice at me over the smallest things or things that aren’t my fault, she mocks my disability and doesn’t respect it all. I’ve only been here 5 months and reporting her to HR and letting them know I’m looking for a new job. They have had issues with my boss in the past but haven’t done anything. I’m out once I get a new one.
Get out now. Most ppl quit their job cuz of bad management
HR is not there to protect you, they are there to protect the company.
Unfortunate truth@@scccchh
Never quit your job.
Tell them that you no longer need their services and just leave
I left the Army after 5 years of service. The first 3 years were pretty good. I had good community, good learning experiences, and I felt like I had a purpose, sort of. The last 2 years however, were what you described. Toxic workplace that wrecked my mental health, toxic leadership that wrecked the community (everyone looking out for their own best interest instead of the good of the group), shifting away from structured and purposeful work to more degrading, meaningless details wrecking my basic desire to apply myself. It made me realize that decent pay and benefits are worthless if my mental health is in the ditch and I'm never happy. Decent pay and benefits are well and good if you can be happy, but it's more important to be happy, even if you have to sacrifice your buying power.
This resonates with me on such a deep level!! Not only am I doing the sighs but I’ve also moved to migraines due to work. This video was much needed
love this type of mindset, I have zero interest in climbing the corprate ladder too,everything is superficial in the corprate world, risk managment is key if you want to free yourself diversify income is the best way.
Doing meaningful work, yes, that is the reason I went into my career. I have gone so far away from that goal in my current job. I am definitely doing something about this.
I believe in you!
Man, the part where you mentioned how you realized that your work environment / work is toxic … I resonate so hard with that.
Thanks for your insights, dude. Like you, I just want to wake up on a Monday morning without dreading to go to work, or basically just have a good Sunday night's sleep without anxiety which keeps me awake all night just thinking that work week is coming and I'll be facing my toxic boss and colleagues.
that’s me this morning. Barely slept
@@PS-lv1mr what's your nature of work?
@@CAPS_AMERICA Programming. I came to the conclusion that I don’t mind the job itself, it’s just the commute and sitting in a cubicle all day. So I’m looking for fully remote roles right now.
this is so me
True story. In 2013 I quit my job to fulfill my dream of owning a home in a state almost halfway across the country. I didn’t have a job lined up & drove my son & our dog to our new place. I chose not to work for 7 months (was financially able to do this) & landed a great job. Still at this job after almost 10 years, but I’m feeling that pull to get up and go again. My son is now 23 & has been living on his own. My job values me (even gave me two raises totaling 18% within 10 months time, but I am no longer feeling fulfilled or connected to what I do. I just told them yesterday that I want to cut my hours & they agreed. Luckily, I also accrue a LOT of vacation time, so I’m going to use that time to figure out the next chapter in my life.
I always feel the most anxious when I ignore what my inner voice tells me. I have found that when I follow my heart, things always work out & it’s OK to break out of my comfort zone & try new things.
@thecustomkit awesome. I ended up giving 1.5 months notice in May & my last day was on 7/1/22. I feel free & less stressed. I worked in a very dangerous area, so putting $, stress & safety concerns over my life & wellbeing, was not worth it to me. I know I did the right thing by leaving. They tried to get me to stay by offering to hire me an assistant, but I said no. Thanks for asking!
Brooooooo! This video was awesome! The “sigh” beat was so good. Hahaha. I just quit my 9-5 job due to my creativity and happiness being sucked out like a dementor. Stoked for the future and loving your channel. Get it!
Time for me to quit. LMAO. I sigh EVERY DAY. I dread going back. Thank you.
I want to quit because I want to live my life to its fullest - doing what I love. Which is being a full time RUclipsr. Having my own schedule. Not having to answer someone else or feel bad when I take off. I’m running towards my dreams/goals/aspirations.
Running from Vs running toward was critical for me. I stuck it out until I had a plan of where to go to. I changed my career direction significantly, gained greater work life balance. I am so much happier.
Amen. I'm so sick of working in a restaurant. I get constantly burnt out and am anxious, I snap off and am depressed. Overworked. Never work in a bar.
Did u quit?
@toplespecah666 I decided to cut my days down to four days so I can work on enhancing training or going to barber school. I'm proactively taking care of my health and opportunities. No more limiting beliefs
I chose to quit my job because I had placed my dreams to the wayside and I was "helping someone else build their dream."
Why do I want to quit? Not enough pay, too fast-paced sometimes, several or more toxic, insensitive, and narcissistic employees, lack of accountability and communication, high turnover, and no real room for advancement.
Glad you made this follow up video sharing more realistic wisdom…I did quit my managerial job 3 times with 3 Fortune 500 companies even though I loved my jobs. First time was got married n had to move where my husband was getting trained. Second time quit to move to where I want to spend the rest of my life in beautiful San Diego after living 4 yrs in cooooold Rochester. Third time I quit to have more time to raise my kids while start my own business, be my own boss which was a dream I always had in the back of my mind. I always been frugal n hard working n a people person . I used the money we saved to buy my first apartment building in 1984 , then another then another. I create nice comfortable dwelling suitable to my tenants, take good care of them . In 37 yrs met a few bad apples but generally very rewarding mentally financially n gave me time to raise my two great kids with a husband with busy career and richly rewarded on my own right… I’m still frugal n hard working at 70 … your advices are all very wise for those ready to take the plunge or jump ship into a more rewarding life. Best wishes to you and your viewers who are contemplating career move.
"Are you walking away or towards something?" - what a powerful question!
Not looking to quit anytime soon - I love my job but want to say I'm glad to have stumbled upon your channel. You have a new follower! I follow a lot of personal finance/credit card channels and your channel has a different feel than others - in a good way! Working toward financial freedom!
I'm quitting my job. In order to pursue my real estate career full-time. I've been trying to juggle a full-time job and do real estate. But it's to much. I'm a good worker. And being a good worker always comes with more responsibilities. Then management starts to depend on you more. And they want you to work more. So it takes time away from me building my business. It's time to go all in.
Omg 🙏 I felt this, they always shitting on the best employees
@@solodondolo5890 me rn
Have you quit yet?
Nope. I was about to. But they allowed me to hire a person to work the weekends. So I'm going to wait until I have my 6-8 months of bills saved. Then I'm out. How's your progress going?
@@caddymac3 That's a solid plan. My wife and I just have been trying to be more discipline with sticking with a budget to cut down on debt so we can eventually build an emergency account. While that's going, am working on additional earnings outside of the 9-5. Gotta get out of this rat race. It's all consistency and discipline. We'll get there brotha..
You just validated my frustration. The sighs, discussion about work post work, I felt this!!!
Thanks for this video. I'm finally submitting my resignation tomorrow after 2 yrs of pondering. This pandemic really awakened me.
how did it go?
How are you now?
To all asking, unfortunately.. it didn't end well. I don't want to share specifics but I'm devastated. This is a great learning curve for me.
More info please @@05catrinajoy
I'm working on a new job right now. I wanted to walk out of my current job a number of times because of the idiotic decisions from my boss to upper management. I'm literally the only one in my department with the most skills and they have failed to bring in someone who is similar.
I am financially stable. I can live for a year being unemployed if that happens. I'm like more than three months ahead on my mortgage.
I quit my job this year twice, the pandemic has pushed so many people out of their jobs to get better jobs and the better companies are surviving and right now employees have the advantage and can pick their employer. I don't know about the entreprenaurialiship part though, but I speak for the job change and minimalism.
I quit my job a year ago and I couldn't find a job. I feel a bit regretted because I don't even know if it was the right decision.
@@mschan3572 that's why you have to have a plan have u looked into FBA or shoppify I'm trying to grow my custom shoe business
this is THE MOST relatable video ever - man, u spoke my mind. ive no words. let me sit in silence and ponder on my life now..
thank you for watching!
I've just recovered after having a breakdown a few minutes ago because I'd have to go to work again tomorrow. I've tried everything to motivate myself, watched a lot of videos that tell me to be rational about my decisions. Still, here I am, lying in bed having drank my calming medicine and the thought that tomorrow is coming still fills me with dread. I think it's enough reason for me to quit. I don't even want to pursue happiness. I just want to escape this hell hole.
If you’re “calming medicine” is alcohol then that’s a sign you meed a new job bro
Start looking for an alternative source of income, when you have that, you will have the confidence to move on from that job
has your situation improved?
my reasons are simple, high blood pressure levels , some bosses say you good, others say you do not anyway, I know this work is not something i'm really good at
and last but not least, is taking the most of my time and my energy, this is stoping me from follow my dreams to become a programmer, and right now there is familly who can support me by the 10 months i need to made it
This is so good that i didn’t even notice i already finished the whole video. Nodding my head to everything you are saying .
Hahaha thank you raymond
I climbed the corporate ladder, made it to executive director in one of the top investment bank but I can’t take it anymore. I have saved up and can provide for the next 2 years but I have not build any other income stream over the years. Moral of the story, the more you wait, the harder it gets… more responsibilities at work, family etc. Regardless, I’m ready to move on and live the rest of my life on my own terms.
thank you so much for sharing Jea
Same advice I give on other posts. This is my weekly topic for my own subscribers. Career. One thing that can really bring a person into depression is 40 hours a week of hating their job. The job is literally almost half of the waking life. The problem many people have is that they have a craving for security. The person will tolerate being unhappy if that is their normality. People would rather have secure bitterness than the fear of stepping off the cliff. The fact is that you can change your career anytime. At 40 or 50. I once knew a car salesman of 30 years who did really well but started to hate his job--so became a nurse at 57. He is now a travel contractor. His friends told him he would be 57 by the time he got licensed as an RN. He told them he would be 57 anyway. So he will now spend the next ten years doing something he likes instead of something he hates. But you have to decide if it is life on the sea you hate or just that ship you're traveling on. In other words--do you hate your trade or just the company you're at? But whatever you aren't happy with you must change and continue to advance yourself. Hope this helps someone---Charles.
Fantastic post!
@@zoeteo3758 Glad you liked it---be great!!!---Charles
I completely relate to the "sighs" scene. The _Heavy Sighs_ remix made me subscribe instantly. Quickest sub of my youtube "life"
I just found your channel, and I have to say, having left my dream job due to overwhelming mismanagement I became drained and passionless.
I slowly recovered and realize that people always have the worse case scenario view of me leaving a good job after job hunting for over a year.
Time passes and I accepted that I need a better job that respects and values my expertise.
My favorite part is your honesty of your background first. Puts things in the right context...❤
Technically, I don't want to quit my job - I don't have one. I'm still in high school, so I think it's kind of normal. What I want is to get educated as far as possible about financial freedom, side hustles, investing and how to be able to control my own life. With that being said, thank you for all your amazing and helpful videos, you're doing a terrific job!!!
the hero that we didn't know we needed but glad we got!
OMG! 😢I am almost there ! I have zero desire to climb the ranks. I have a greater purpose to help everyone
i quit my job almost a month ago, makes me feel worthless a bit but after 3 years of hating my job i decided to take the time for myself
The reason I want to quit my job is I’m not getting paid respectable amount. I know mentality of this company is. “Who do you think you are?”
Thank you for making this video and explaining the strategic things you did, everyone just talks about quitting their job on a “whim”.
The intro is great. 😂 Water was definitely a better option, lol.
I think so too haha
I've been working for this company for a year now. I managed to become a top performer for 5 consecutive months, learned new systems within the company that would make me more valuable... New people joining have been under my charge with no additional salary nor a change of position. I want to quit because there are people who joined recently who have managed to move up and actually become my boss... The same people I trained when they joined. I really feel undervalued, looked over, not important, and replaceable. So now! I'm looking to become a top performer for myself. I no longer will give of myself to accomplish someone else's dream, especially when I feel taken advantage of. That's why I'm here, I don't know where to start but I know I need a change.
Bro I have the exact opposite problem as you, I stay for a really long time at a job. I have been at the same job that pays crappy by the way for 10 years, and I feel like I am stuck in a rut that I cannot get out of. I have a very strong desire to go elsewhere as the pay sucks, the benefits suck, and management sucks. I have been looking for a few weeks now, and will continue to look as I have a degree in Network Management, and would love to do that for sure!! I have never wanted to leave somewhere more than where I work right now!! I think I have a huge amount of fear to leave mainly because I have been there for so long, but I am very unhappy and have to leave for a much better opportunity very soon! So to all of the people out there who are unhappy with your job, don't be stupid like me and stay for years, find a better opportunity and pursue it with everything you have! Great video by the way!!
Alright Vincent, you've convinced me. I'm quitting my job.
Love your content even though I’m retired at age 59. I can relate only because I retired earlier this year and felt guilty because I chose to retire during a time when many people are losing their jobs or not doing well . Like yours, it was a great corporate job with great pay and benefits but it was soulless and no longer gratifying. I love your humor and style, keep it up. One criticism, check your spelling.
Don't feel guilty about retiring. Doing that opens up a job opportunity for someone else! Besides, where is it written in a stone that you need to work your whole life until you die?
I'm about to quit my job and start my journey as an entrepreneur. I'm tired of the corporate system that does nothing but screw over good employees a lot of the time. I was promised a raised and signed paperwork at my current job. I looked at my paychecks today and realized they have not be paying me for the agreed amount that day we signed off on. They also said that they would not pay me the backpay. Glad I got into investing this year and making my money work for me. I have a backup plan. I make up 40% of their business and now my time wont be invested in them anymore, but in myself. I'm going to be a successful investor and entrepreneur with various sources of passive income. Thank you for your videos. They've helped me gain insight.
this channel and this guy are different refreshing and new to me. You are a golden boy dude im learning a lot from you rn and it is so valuable. THANKS SO MUCH! You give me hope
yah your right, what is value of money if it swallow up your whole life... I have to find something that I can still spend time for my self while working. not feeling a robot at all.
That red bull flip was too smooth 😂
LOL thank you
just quit my job today. although I know I am going to quit till the first day. I always liked sharing my thoughts so I am gonna keep doing that while starting my own business. I am and i don't think that's late to do anything. start small and grow big on the way
I hate it- I need to vent this. I don't think I can take it anymore at what was supposed to be the "dream" position- I finally got a full time job as a Media Marketing Coordinator at an animal organization- PERFECT for an animal lover and creative person like me, right?....At first, I was SO excited and ready to learn and improve my skills. What really ended up happening was a disorganized mess, crappy communication, and a workload meant for an entire team is composed of TWO people. From start to finish. I finally realized how badly it's affecting me because of the physical signs like losing weight, hot flashes, heart palpitations, uncontrollable shaking, and more that I couldn't shoo away or ignore. Even visiting my parents noticed how frail and terrible I looked and were so upset to see me like that. I work so hard even worrying about my work outside of paid hours, getting calls and emails when I'm supposed to be off...I don't think there's room for compromise- I'm taking the risk and lining up a new job (scary) and once that happens, I'm gone.
Wishing you best of luck to find a good alternative very fast, go for it!! Your health is so much more important
