Times have changed and we are a different generation of people. We don’t stay at jobs 10,20,30+ years anymore like the older folks do. Our mindset towards the average 9to5 work life has shifted a lot since these past few years. We want to start businesses, we want to explore different ways to earn money, we want freedom, we want time with our families. We are awake now and we know that this work life is misery
I agree I want to own my own business and not be clocking in till I'm 80 years old. That's why I'm getting my degree so I can say goodbye to these B's jobs
@@HaleyGarcia-p4z if you want to own your own business, you don't need a degree. A degree is only useful if you want to get hired by a company that requires a degree. If you work for yourself. it doesn't matter. As far as knowledge goes to run and operate a business, any textbook you read in college can be found on Amazon and read at your own leisure. And most of the information that is actually useful can be found for free. This is why so many people that actually do lunch successful businessnes drop out of college because they realize they don't need it. College, at best, will eat up your time, energy and resources for no reason.
I'm glad I'm not the only one in the world who have this problem. I get hired then id give up on the way... and then I get depressed for being unemployed and seek for jobs again. Once I get hired... when i started to hate it... I give up again. I dont even know what i wanted.
I’ve quit around 4 jobs in the past year ,I just have such a hard time staying at a job that I dislike and I get so depressed that just stop showing up.I just started my current job about a month ago and I hate it already.I’ve already started filling out applications and going to interviews.I hate quitting and disappointing myself but I just can’t force myself to stay somewhere when I know there might be other options
I get it, and the thing we need to understand is that there are always going to be better options whether it's a job, better-looking boyfriends or girlfriends, etc. Unfortunately, we can't take every option but we can take an option that leads us towards our ultimate goal in life. My advice is for you to take out a piece of paper and write your strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes when it comes to working. ask yourself questions like; what could I see myself doing every day, what would be fun. From there you can start to write down all the different jobs that include your strengths and what you're into.
We are looking for conection and a life that allows us to live authenticly. To follow our longings and intuition. A conection to our authentic self. And we live in a society that is the complete opposition of what it is to be a human being.
Man, the longest I have held a job was 2 years. Than I quit. I did uber for the longest time, got back into a w2 because money from the apps is no longer good.... half a month in and I wanna quit already lol. Been like this forever. Im 30 years old now, I cant work for anybody man. I dont take orders, I hate people, I love money but tbh, if anything this pandemic taught me and during this post pandemic world is time is more valuable. Which is why im an advocate of seasonal work. 6 months working than 6 months off. Work sucks. America sucks. I want out of this shit.
I feel that way every day. I just quit a job my buddy got me as a merchandiser. Basically they were unprofessional from the start. One day of training and on day two I was on my own and not in a Prius like they said but that I had to use my own car....lol. Red flag one, then my friend who is lazy was taking advantage of me by telling me to stay late to finish his stores so he wouldn't have to do anything the following day. Plus it's a whole different side of town that I don't know. It was too much work and too little pay. I took a pay loss cause I ran CNC machines and was making $20 an hour and was only making $15 on this job.
The longest I worked a job was 2 years and 4 months. I am plenty loyal as long as they don't screw me over. Also 30 years old with that being said I am no fool when I see the writing on the wall I leave. The problem with always quitting your job is that people will be less inclined to hire you.
I just quit a 76k job after 2 weeks of working there and completely hating it. I went back to my 46k fully remote job. I feel like I'm crazy for doing this, but I couldn't imagine myself working in a grey lonely cubicle for the rest of my life.
@@lau77771hh Making sacrifices yes, but we also have choices (at least most us, the lucky ones), he chose the least paying job but peace in mind (from my understanding at least). If he can live with 45k and be peaceful day in day out why not?
The purpose is to build skills and use the job as a stepping stone. Having multiple skills is the end goal. Dont quit from fast food to go work another fast food. Etc Use great wording in your resumes or hire someone to create one for you . Thats how you move up. In these current times there is no job security like there was 30 , 40 years ago. Wages arent increasing but bills are . Dont ever feel bad for leaving a job if you have something greater in mind, but NEVER leave a job without having some form of income set up. Struggling to pay your bills is a pain .
because the cycle works like this : Old job (more demands, payment not growing > new job(more pay, new workplace excited about you> new office decides to demand more from you, but not pay you more) > you quit, you move into >new job(more pay, new workplace excited about you)
You have to discard your emotions on jobs. I want to be in a position long enough to master it. This usually takes a whole year. If you're there less than 6 months you barely know what you're doing. To continuously quit jobs is to never master any of them.
Been thru jobs like crazy these past 2 years. I quit a job earlier this week but I’m a disappointment to my older sister now so. I’m getting a new job Monday but I’m done working for people.
I feel you, bro, I knew working for someone else and helping them achieve their goals was not it for me. So I started to make moves that would put me in the position I'm in now to own a few businesses. It takes time and a lot of hard work but defiantly worth it. You got this!
@@christinesentman5437 more like gaslighted by coworkers and boss, taking advantage of either because you’re a newbie or a hard worker, which will be rewarded with more workload.
@@carltasticdrew9633 exactly it’s the constant people trying to get you fired and set you up for failure. The bosses promoting the person who just started versus you. The person who is actually been there for a year. It’s either overworking me or or putting in a lot on my workload with no help or having me standing around not doing anything for hours.
I took a nap and forgot what my job was 😂. I have been at this same job for 4 months but I have spent so much time in my life working for stores and restaurants. Tired of that shyt 😂.
I think it depends on the situation but I agree we all need to look out for ourselves as it relates to jobs and what's best for us and our familys. Thank you for sharing, be sure to subscribe if you haven't already!
Well my current job is front desk as well as my last job I quit, I’m about to leave my current job because of the lack of training and staff changes. I figured I’m the type of person that don’t like distractions on the job, and front desk work is constant distractions, and I get burned out from it. Today is possibly my last day on my job. I have a part time job lined up job driving auto parts to shops, this will definitely a pay cut, but at least I’ll have a peace of mind....this job will allow me to focus on my business I started last year...and to focus on myself 👌🏾
Update: I’m driving delivering auto parts and ironically it’s more peaceful for me because that all I do. Would I like to be back in the office..absolutely. I got a little down because I started to feel like I made a mistake leaving my job but realized this was the path for me to get where I want to go. I want to get into HR so I’m studying for my certification for that. If someone is thinking about doing it, just have a plan, hard times will come but keep going..it’s only a season..and seasons change 💯🤞🏾
🎉😊You need an office job in the mailroom or in the back of a clothing store. A nice quiet job with nobody micromanaging you. Just do the job and go home 😊💰happy
I have the same problem. My manager asked me to stand on a pallete while he raised a forklift. I told him no. The next day he had his son do it, shaking scared. I quit. I had one job for a temp agency repeatedly tell us friday we "have to" come in for saturday. Then, within the same day they said no more phones in the building and we'll be doing 2 weeks in a row (14 days and weekends) which is illegal. I walked. I had a boss at Wal-Mart repeatedly tell everyone to keep doing something, like he would not let up. I actually had my fingers exposed once a few years ago until they were purple so now they DO NOT do good in the cold. they go dead, and sting. As soon as he asked me to go push carts (just to keep telling people to do things, he had FOUR of us out there believe it or not) I walked when my fingers started to piss me off. I know to some people these are "low" jobs but I graduated a trade school and worked with computers and in offices and there is always something. SOMETHING to piss me off. sexism, classism, whatever.. wish I had something positive to say, just sharing experiences. I think Im about to go work fast food 7 days a week. To me its about luck. Good co workers or not. Thats all I care about anymore not work money anything... just no bullshit
You really have to vet your jobs the way you would pick a relationship. Most jobs suck that's why I am always competitive and do research on the company. Emphasize my skills and my ability to learn skills. Let them know you can adapt to the culture. Be positive and energetic at least at the interview. No job is perfect but I can guarantee you that being picky and getting some college especially like Penn Foster can add value to your worth.
I really needed this. For years I've been quitting jobs and trying to get to the next shiny thing, but now I'm broke miserable and aimless at the age of 30. I know what I need to do now and it's all thanks to this video. Thank you man.
Putting yourself in a calm state and maintaining it is right, because if you are calm, you’ll be able to have a higher tolerance for miscellaneous stupid/hard stuff.
What I am trying to understand is how all these people who make these videos live in these nice homes/apartments etc. and able to go from job to job?!?! 🤔🧐
Young people often don't have realistic expectations from a job. All you can expect from an employer is for them to be respectful and pay you on time. If they're doing that you should stay until you have a bonafide plan together. The key to a better job is certifications/licenses. Get a certified skill and you'll be on your way.,
I do think its wise to have a plan of action if and when decieding to switch careers. I do feel that sometimes were not going to have everything mapped out and we have to take action based on our belief within ourselves and faith that with action, persistance and consistentcy, all things will work out. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already.
Are we lazy or do we KNOW that there is something out here better for us ? Like all the business ideas ,that promotion , or that book we keep saying we’re going to publish ? 🤔
I think that’s a great question everyone should ask themselves. If everyone was truly honest with themselves they know the answer to that question. Some will SAY they want more but aren’t willing to make sacrifices to get more so they settle. Others know they want more and are willing to make changes but they’re stuck because this is new territory for them, they’re not sure how to proceed so they get overwhelmed, paralysis by analysis, procrastination, etc.
Mine isn’t so much of quitting, just companies expect unicorns anymore. Have little to no training, then expect you to know your job within a month. Completely amazes me of unrealistic expectations.
Sounds like it’s just finding a place that is the right fit for you and visa versa. Finding a company that is willing to help you along while holding you accountable, you know.
I have a hard time staying at jobs that I feel are soul sucking. I once quit a car dealership job on my first day. I went to lunch and never came back. Nobody even called to check on me or see what happened.
I once opened up a bar for my morning shift, put all the stools down off the counters, let the 3 regular drunks waiting in to sit on 'their' stools, walked calmly to the parking lot, got in my car and drove away. I saw their jaws hit the floor as I laid rubber out the driveway and honestly it's one of my favourite/hilarious memories I hold to this day.
Proper shirt right there..... I'm just glad I have a barber license, something to fall back on. My advice is to develop a skill/trade you can always have for a safety net. Great video.
The longest job I had I stayed for 6 years. I genuinely enjoyed that industry and would have stayed longer until we got a new CEO (who had a political agenda when he applied to that post) and I quit. This was in the beginning of the pandemic. I got a part-time job to help pay off my bills, and was pressured by family to find a full-time job in the meantime. Eventually I found one, but it was a miserable experience. I quit and upgraded my skills, then tried my luck again. Holy shit, the next one was so much worse, and lasted even shorter. Went back to part-time and I'm much happier. I suspect that I'm on the spectrum, and I can't mask anymore. People who suck up to upper management just make it suck for everyone else, and I can't deal with that anymore.
I spend about a year at every job. I usually don't leave until I see something better or the job I am at screws me over. Reading books really helps me stat grounded.
If you have solid goals for your life you won't be so quick to quit a job. I can tell you why I have had so many jobs in the last 4 years. Things happen and sometimes I work 2 jobs at once. However eventually I get burned out. In 2019 I worked at a warehouse for a year my boss was a weird man and kept saying weird jokes so I quit in Oct 2020. That same month I had a temp position for 11 months also worked fast food for 5 months in 2021. After the temp job and fast food job I had left both by August 2021 because one had expired and the other was just a POS 😂. Anyways I have been working at a bank for 4 months it's not easy but my life has a purpose and future.
i can relate, then i applied for the city. just hit 4 years now, i work outside, good hours and weekends off. most coworkers are 40 to 60, ready for retirement. get the work done first and take it easy the rest of the day/
I quit so many jobs man--I just can't phantom the fact going to work with people that I don't want to work with- Every job I had, it was the same people with same drama, problems etc I came to realization that I would never work a 9-5 job ever again.
Yeah, Unfortunately, I worked under two African American women who was leading by their emotions, I just can't handle the fact of calling another person "Boss" that's just like me calling another person Mom or dad
I've had 6 jobs the whole year of 2021, and I'm going into 2022 with a new job. So far I have 2 jobs I'm moving forward with, buy whichever one I officially get first, I know i have to stick with it until I can get in & finish school. I'm more motivated than any year. My problem is that I can't stand working for other people barely making enough to get by. I'd rather be an entrepreneur, I always liked to set my own rules & be my own boss. However, until I get to that point, I need to settle for a job & save money.
Definitely have to crawl before you can walk. I’ve always wanted to have my own business but I knew if I was going to be successful I had to squire certain skills and I needed jobs for that. Aquire the skills you need and pursue your own thing if that’s what you want to do. You got this!
It seems like your chasing the money like he says in this video figure why your doing two jobs for.. money is not the answer if you can only think of money then you might not stop if there is a reason you’ll continue wthought the side problems like employees or whatever’ difficulties
@@Beyondthesurfacewithmichael probably parents expecting to have a job at a certain age. And when he got the job, he hated it and parents called him crazy for quitting the job that he loathed.
Im a 23 year old girl... got my first job when i was 15... i have worked at 20 different places in the past 9 years and im sorry to say its not an exaggeration. It sucks and its exhausting. I need to get my fuckin life together man. Hopefully this video can help me.
What happens to me is when I'm in a job no matter how wonderful or how much I love the job after about 6-9 mos. in, I feel like I'm trapped in an elevator without air. I get panic attacks and can't go or even step outside of my door. I've tried medication, denial, prayer, decreeing and declaring, therapy, goal setting and focusing on those goals such as a new car, saving for a house etc.
I just realized I’m incapable of following orders I like giving orders instead of receiving them so I’ll go head and try to be my own boss let’s see how it goes
I feel so lost in finding a career. I try to go for positions that can challenge me and make me into the best candidate. I recently came to a conclusion that I want to pursue HR since I have my bachelors in communication but I get no calls back. I know I’m a great leader. I hate disappointing myself and quitting jobs. I go back to jobs I have had but I hate being boxed into one type of job title. over time I get bored of doing the same stuff and eventually end up of this cycle of leaving jobs. I’m glad I came across this video because I felt alone.
If HR is something you feel is a calling for you at this time then pursue that. Ask yourself what are you missing (experience, education, etc) that will get you into that position. Nothing is impossible, bro you can do it.
Same here. I barely tolerate with fake people. I don't mind working hard buy just toxic boss that I can't tolerate. I want to be able to wake up happy and fresh going to work. I try to fit myself in that environment but it won't last long.
I’m in the same boat. In the industry I work it’s hard to find a company that’s going to fit me and help me grow as well. A lot of these companies don’t offer good enough incentives to make you want to work for them long term. You have to be there an entire YEAR before you even get 5 days PTO like Jeez how draining. Not to mention starting over from job to job, you never really get to grow and build up some PTO time!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Are you open to leaving that particular industry? Are you open to new ideas that could ultimately get you the results you’re looking for?
Hey.... To think this is from 3 years ago and it mysteriously comes up at a moment that the topic is so fitting really confirms some major decisions I am yet to make. I feel like water inside a clay pot that's just been set free. Thank you!
That’s a great question and I’m going to explain this in a new video on this topic. The short version is start with the end in mind. What kind of lifestyle do you want, then figure out how much money that lifestyle will require, then find a career, opportunity that will support that.
Going through some tough times with work, 8 months in a corporate role with KPIs is absolute mental torture. Your videos really helped shine a light on things for me. Thankypu
Thanks michael, my purpose to stick it out is because I have a home loan approval in the pipe works in 3 months time. This videos helped to reignite my purpose and seeing everyone else in a similar situation makes me feel like I'm not the only one
I have this problem. I started working in 2019, then i quit after 4 months, i started another job and I worked there for a year then quit and started another one i quit after 5 months. And now i have a job with the lowest income amongst all my previous jobs but it's surprisingly the one i feel most comfortable with. I also love writing books, i still haven't published one, but i hope if I would i could make a good living out of it cause i absolutely adore it.
Hey Amira! You’re current job may be the lowest paying but you actually like it and with that you’ll create more value to get raises and move up if that’s what you inspire to do. Although money is important it’s not always about the money. Money comes to you when you’re enjoying what you do.
I quit my 9-5 last year in Nov. I was there 5 1/2 years. I L0VED my position. Hated the work place drama. Finally reached a boiling point and rage quit. I found a new 9-5 two weeks later that I thought was everything I wanted. But then the rug got pulled out from under me when my boss turned into a psycho overnight saying me and the other new girl kept f*cking up and would not be making it past our 90 days in that position. Im not confrontational so I kinda just gave up and quit cuz I couldnt handle it. Now Im at another new 9-5 and I f*cking hate it. Ppl are hostile and the job is just BORING. I sit all day on my phone cuz business is so slow. I just put my 2 weeks in. Idk what Im doing with my life. Idk where Im going to be soon. And I am dealing with a new health issue that's preventing me from getting anything but a desk job. Im glad Im not alone. But I wish I knew all the commenters in person instead of just seeing the struggle online lol. We need to make a support group.

I stared college in 2018 and I've been a habitual job quitter ever since your tip about being honest with yourself sticks out because I thought that since I only used to work phones that I had to stay stuck on call center floors until I realized it was ok to be burned out, but learn to do something new to change that situation thanks for your video!
This is true, my RUclips channel started to do well and I was just burnt out of trucking. So I quit and now I’m full time RUclips. No looking back. Everything you said in this video are facts!!! Thank you! 🤟🏾
Literally trying to get to where you are bro, I’m sick of trucking; I have my RUclips channel (Not this one) that I started and I am gonna work hard to do it full time. Cant stand working for other people.
Your mbti is ENFP. Same here. We have that shiny object syndrome and look for opportunities, always. That's the first part in our function stack. Extroverted feeling.
I sure am an ENFP, lol.. I found that out several years ago after taking a personality test but never indulged in the information too much. Defiantly, great to know!
I can relate, Its like leap frog. It gets old and the outcome is always the same. Personally, i think everyone is tired of bills, lol. Working a meaningless job day in and out, after last year, its reevaluation time. I was at dennys the other day, i swear the waitress was doing the job of 3 people. How can this last? The restaurant industry was completely using people. they would pay below minimum wage because of tips, but like this lady said, if there's no one in there, you make nothing. If you dont work, you make nothing. My last job was at a restaurant. As the expo, i was being paid 9 dollars an hour with tips....9 bucks an hour! Meanwhile the owner was telling us how his other restaurant made 4 million last year. I decided he can go run the food to the tables since he obviously gets paid well for it. I walked away. Its funny how management always says. " Give us 2 weeks so we can replace you." More often than not, once they know you are leaving, your sent home way before the 2 weeks. So if they wont give me 2 weeks to look for another job, why should I give them 2 weeks? I want meaning in what I do. Ive done the soulless, meaningless jobs, they fill nothing.
I made 1700 dollars in tips. I got back 700! After my hard work and time they just took everything from me. I have a college degree done getting less than I deserve.
I too value variety and want to try out many different jobs. Most people value stability and will judge others for being like this though. Im pretty young and figured this out just recently but it does look bad on my backround check. We need to lock in
My life mirrors yours almost exactly with different jobs like Marketing, Mortgages, Life Insurance etc. Even with the chasing money and new hobbies. It turns out I had ADHD and im now getting coaching. Medication has really helped me out as well. Im not saying you have it but I literally could have made this exact same video as you today.
You’re not alone I’ve been doing it for years I can’t to the conclusion I don’t wanna work & not for anybody I can only work for myself I need to see how I can get income
@@Beyondthesurfacewithmichael yes I’m a social worker now I fished my master degree a year ago I love my job I can work from home only have to show up to the office once a week. Been here now a year I love it doesn’t even feel like a job alot of leniency and no micromanagement
@@jasminearcher7241 Big congrats!!! I’m very happy for you. With intention comes action and with action comes results. May not be immediate and it may not be the result you want right away, but eventually it all works out. 🙏🏾❤️
Man this is some good stuff. You speak very relative to where I’m currently at. Funny- I chose the work life over college. BIG BIG mistake. I have a gift for communication, I’m sure I could still use it though. I’m currently 19, and I will say (honesty with self) is about the toughest thing I need to get under control.
Hey , I just wanted to say that your videos are amazing and it really helps people out! Keep making videos, don't stop.. I see success eventually in your channel :)
I'm just stealing food and living out of the bushes, so I guess my answer was to return to monkey. I realized that no one wants you to succeed. They want you to submit. I want to be brutal in my methods of vengeance but I need some support and volunteer troops. Comment if interested.
I understand u completely:(, i started working in 2022 and ever since then i have had 5 jobs, nothing seems worth it... I am trying my best to study and earn certifications but it just seems like not worth it at all
With little work experience it may be a good idea to try lots of things and not get fixated on finding the “one” job you need to stick with, you know. What are you in to? What are your hobbies, likes? These answer could lead you towards careers that may interest you.
Nah frfr , this year & all last yr after I got fired ‘22 , it just went down or jobs not hiring as fast but the one I’m at now is great pay , I wish it was morning , but 2 new interviews this week and next , really feel I’ll get the next week interview job , would like to keep this one as well for some months but idk , my energy levels is down a lot , compared to this time last year , I’m def chasing money
Chasing money is defiantly a nasty habit. I’ve gone job to job chasing more pay and typically I still end up hating the job because it’s not truly what I want to do. Write out what kind of lifestyle you want to have, then figure out how much that lifestyle will cost, then lastly find an opportunity that will help you get there. Does that make sense?
I’m glad I found this as I’m looking to transition out of my current job into something else. I did speak with my pastors and they gave sound advice, but this video really made everything come into full view for me. I am unhappy with where I’m at. The working conditions are unfavorable, the management is terrible, and I still don’t have what I need to fully work in my role. Plus, there’s no growth financially or position wise unless I go back to school (and I’ve had my share of school) and even if I was to level up there, I’d still be miserable. My only options left is to do the traveling portion or just relocate to another city. However, will I still be satisfied even after doing that? I definitely have to think about why I chose what I chose and what for because I’m tired of all of this back and forth.
I thought I was the only one Edit after 2 months; After seeing this video i realized I was looking for all the wrong things in my career and kept burning myself out. I’m 24 and start my dream job in less than a week. Thank you.
I started having this issue in 2018, when I was heavily depressed and couldn't manage my workload well. The jobs did have managers that were unreasonable to a degree but looking back I left each time because of deep stress I brought with me. The jobs were stressful in some cases but they weren't the source of it. I was depressed and anxious before I got there and the job and the people were easy to blame. The pandemic and some life changing events helped me be more aware. I find myself wanting to quit a job whenever I feel deeply stressed, and once I handle the stressor I'm OK again. Self awareness is key, no matter how much we don't want to face it. My biggest issue now is being consistent and self aware during stressful times and disruptions. I tend to go down hill whenever my routine is interrupted, which causes high anxiety. I'm working on rebounding faster while still acknowledging that shit happens and it can be upsetting.. but all in all life isn't over. I've still got a ways to go but any little bit helps, like you said.
Big bro, You have no idea how timely this video is everything happens for a reason when the student is ready the teacher appears , This is exactly what I needed to hear This is exactly what I need moving forward, This is a brilliant video delivered brilliantly, More people need to see and hear it I know I did thanks for taking the time to make top notch quality content like this I'm a subscriber now and I appreciate you 👊🔥

I just moved in with a new roommate he can't hold down a job. I moved in 4 months ago and this dude has had about 6 jobs. The most one has lasted was only 2 weeks. It's a huge red flag. I need out of here.
Folks, you NEED a TRADE, hustle or a degree that will give you a return on your investment. Soon, automation will take over and you won't have jobs to quit. Stop avoiding paying your dues with low or nonexistent skills.
I been wanting to do trades since 2019 and have set out on a mission to do them. Even moved to another state to have more opportunities to do the trades. They all suck. They all are terrible. Most of the people doing them are doing them cuz they gave up on their dreams. They gave up on figuring out what they love to do. They hate it. They’re miserable. Stfu about the trades. All I hear people say is to skip college and go into the trades. Trades are just as bad. What folks NEED to do is what they WANT to do.

I think a lot of people (even successful ones) don't do this sort of self introspection until very late in their careers. With things changing so fast in the workplace these days, everyone will need to ask themselves some very difficult questions sooner or later.
Thanks so much for this video and sharing your journey. I work in tech and I'm struggling with the same thing where I keep quitting jobs and getting a new job for money. I finally got a job where the workload is way more than I can handle for not that much more pay. Its eating into other aspects of my life that I care about. This tough situation is making me re-evaluate my goals and myself. Loved the first point, just realizing...why WAS I passed for promotion, what can i do. I needed to work on what I lacked
Hey family! Would you guys like an updated video on this topic? If so comment to this post with your answer🙏🏾
Yes!
Yes! I just found this video today and this is just what I needed
@@GoddessMaicaJ Thank you for watching, I’m glad you found some value in it. Be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already🙏🏾
Times have changed and we are a different generation of people. We don’t stay at jobs 10,20,30+ years anymore like the older folks do. Our mindset towards the average 9to5 work life has shifted a lot since these past few years. We want to start businesses, we want to explore different ways to earn money, we want freedom, we want time with our families. We are awake now and we know that this work life is misery
Couldn’t agree more
@@Beyondthesurfacewithmichaelexactly how I feel now😢😢
I agree I want to own my own business and not be clocking in till I'm 80 years old. That's why I'm getting my degree so I can say goodbye to these B's jobs
@@HaleyGarcia-p4z hey I’m doing the same thing brother i want my own business
@@HaleyGarcia-p4z if you want to own your own business, you don't need a degree. A degree is only useful if you want to get hired by a company that requires a degree. If you work for yourself. it doesn't matter. As far as knowledge goes to run and operate a business, any textbook you read in college can be found on Amazon and read at your own leisure. And most of the information that is actually useful can be found for free. This is why so many people that actually do lunch successful businessnes drop out of college because they realize they don't need it. College, at best, will eat up your time, energy and resources for no reason.
I'm glad I'm not the only one in the world who have this problem. I get hired then id give up on the way... and then I get depressed for being unemployed and seek for jobs again. Once I get hired... when i started to hate it... I give up again. I dont even know what i wanted.
I’m literally in the same boat… I’m just not meant to be a worker… I feel like I’m giving up my time for money and I absolutely hate it
Yup me to life is fucked
Same right now im about to quit the job i have its only been a day
Guilty 👋🏼
Same
I’ve quit around 4 jobs in the past year ,I just have such a hard time staying at a job that I dislike and I get so depressed that just stop showing up.I just started my current job about a month ago and I hate it already.I’ve already started filling out applications and going to interviews.I hate quitting and disappointing myself but I just can’t force myself to stay somewhere when I know there might be other options
I get it, and the thing we need to understand is that there are always going to be better options whether it's a job, better-looking boyfriends or girlfriends, etc. Unfortunately, we can't take every option but we can take an option that leads us towards our ultimate goal in life. My advice is for you to take out a piece of paper and write your strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes when it comes to working. ask yourself questions like; what could I see myself doing every day, what would be fun. From there you can start to write down all the different jobs that include your strengths and what you're into.
damn, I tho that I was alone ! :(
Factz...i thought it was just me..and im pushin 40yrs old🙄
Girl me too
Same!!! Once a job start causing depression it’s time for me to go!!!
We are looking for conection and a life that allows us to live authenticly. To follow our longings and intuition. A conection to our authentic self. And we live in a society that is the complete opposition of what it is to be a human being.
Very well said🙏🏾
Yes 100%
Man, the longest I have held a job was 2 years. Than I quit. I did uber for the longest time, got back into a w2 because money from the apps is no longer good.... half a month in and I wanna quit already lol. Been like this forever. Im 30 years old now, I cant work for anybody man. I dont take orders, I hate people, I love money but tbh, if anything this pandemic taught me and during this post pandemic world is time is more valuable. Which is why im an advocate of seasonal work. 6 months working than 6 months off. Work sucks. America sucks. I want out of this shit.
The most important thing was that you found what works for you.
ruclips.net/video/vP7rEhisPe0/видео.html
I thought I was the only one feeling this way
I feel that way every day. I just quit a job my buddy got me as a merchandiser. Basically they were unprofessional from the start. One day of training and on day two I was on my own and not in a Prius like they said but that I had to use my own car....lol. Red flag one, then my friend who is lazy was taking advantage of me by telling me to stay late to finish his stores so he wouldn't have to do anything the following day. Plus it's a whole different side of town that I don't know. It was too much work and too little pay. I took a pay loss cause I ran CNC machines and was making $20 an hour and was only making $15 on this job.
The longest I worked a job was 2 years and 4 months. I am plenty loyal as long as they don't screw me over. Also 30 years old with that being said I am no fool when I see the writing on the wall I leave. The problem with always quitting your job is that people will be less inclined to hire you.
Always being on the job hunt is tiring.
Yeah i get a job and then Emedially start looking for another one
I just quit a 76k job after 2 weeks of working there and completely hating it. I went back to my 46k fully remote job. I feel like I'm crazy for doing this, but I couldn't imagine myself working in a grey lonely cubicle for the rest of my life.
I’m about to quit my $75k a year job and it’s really weighing heavy on me. But I’m not happy. 😔
Wanna try travelling?
In fact yes, you are crazy. Life is about making sacrifices... What a waste.
@@lau77771hh Making sacrifices yes, but we also have choices (at least most us, the lucky ones), he chose the least paying job but peace in mind (from my understanding at least). If he can live with 45k and be peaceful day in day out why not?
@lau77771hh it is about sacrifice, but we get to choose what we sacrifice. What's money worth if you are miserable
I've quit 2 jobs this past month. I can't seem to find a good fit. I'm getting worried. I feel like I have no direction.
The purpose is to build skills and use the job as a stepping stone.
Having multiple skills is the end goal.
Dont quit from fast food to go work another fast food. Etc
Use great wording in your resumes or hire someone to create one for you . Thats how you move up.
In these current times there is no job security like there was 30 , 40 years ago.
Wages arent increasing but bills are . Dont ever feel bad for leaving a job if you have something greater in mind, but NEVER leave a job without having some form of income set up. Struggling to pay your bills is a pain .
because the cycle works like this : Old job (more demands, payment not growing > new job(more pay, new workplace excited about you> new office decides to demand more from you, but not pay you more) > you quit, you move into >new job(more pay, new workplace excited about you)
This is exactly it lol once the new person thing wears off and I'm no longer motivated by making a good impression... I could care less
You have to discard your emotions on jobs. I want to be in a position long enough to master it. This usually takes a whole year. If you're there less than 6 months you barely know what you're doing. To continuously quit jobs is to never master any of them.
Been thru jobs like crazy these past 2 years. I quit a job earlier this week but I’m a disappointment to my older sister now so. I’m getting a new job Monday but I’m done working for people.
I feel you, bro, I knew working for someone else and helping them achieve their goals was not it for me. So I started to make moves that would put me in the position I'm in now to own a few businesses. It takes time and a lot of hard work but defiantly worth it. You got this!
There's plenty of jobs, but most are shit. As for a good job, they are few in number.
Agree
I definitely agree. I tried to tell my bro to vet his jobs more but he's just about having any job. Sadly he averages about 4-6 months at each job.
Tired of being harrassed
That part
Harassed? How so?
@@christinesentman5437 more like gaslighted by coworkers and boss, taking advantage of either because you’re a newbie or a hard worker, which will be rewarded with more workload.
@@carltasticdrew9633 exactly it’s the constant people trying to get you fired and set you up for failure. The bosses promoting the person who just started versus you. The person who is actually been there for a year. It’s either overworking me or or putting in a lot on my workload with no help or having me standing around not doing anything for hours.
Become a master at what you do. I quit 4 to 5 jobs every year and I could not care less. Just work elsewhere.
It's hard being a drifter Gus.
But it's a good thing a lot of the time.
💯💯💯 gotta do what’s best for you
I took a nap and forgot what my job was 😂. I have been at this same job for 4 months but I have spent so much time in my life working for stores and restaurants. Tired of that shyt 😂.
@@mateaukalua4426😂😂
I just left a job I barely got , 😔 couldn’t make it through ....... hate when I give up on myself...
I am the same 😭
You gave up on a potentially crappy job. You’re still here and searching or you wouldn’t be on this thread. Keep your head up.
Same I quit my corporate job in three weeks 😭😭
I quit jobs...because they lie about hours and pay. The only reason employers do this is because you and you and you, let them.
Same. I’m a people pleaser and always say yes 😔
I don’t see quitting as giving up. We have to look out for ourselves.
I think it depends on the situation but I agree we all need to look out for ourselves as it relates to jobs and what's best for us and our familys. Thank you for sharing, be sure to subscribe if you haven't already!
Well my current job is front desk as well as my last job I quit, I’m about to leave my current job because of the lack of training and staff changes. I figured I’m the type of person that don’t like distractions on the job, and front desk work is constant distractions, and I get burned out from it. Today is possibly my last day on my job. I have a part time job lined up job driving auto parts to shops, this will definitely a pay cut, but at least I’ll have a peace of mind....this job will allow me to focus on my business I started last year...and to focus on myself 👌🏾
Update: I’m driving delivering auto parts and ironically it’s more peaceful for me because that all I do. Would I like to be back in the office..absolutely. I got a little down because I started to feel like I made a mistake leaving my job but realized this was the path for me to get where I want to go. I want to get into HR so I’m studying for my certification for that. If someone is thinking about doing it, just have a plan, hard times will come but keep going..it’s only a season..and seasons change 💯🤞🏾
🎉😊You need an office job in the mailroom or in the back of a clothing store. A nice quiet job with nobody micromanaging you. Just do the job and go home 😊💰happy
😂😂 oh lord that sounds like a slow and painful life. Defiantly not for me.
I have the same problem. My manager asked me to stand on a pallete while he raised a forklift. I told him no. The next day he had his son do it, shaking scared. I quit.
I had one job for a temp agency repeatedly tell us friday we "have to" come in for saturday. Then, within the same day they said no more phones in the building and we'll be doing 2 weeks in a row (14 days and weekends) which is illegal. I walked.
I had a boss at Wal-Mart repeatedly tell everyone to keep doing something, like he would not let up. I actually had my fingers exposed once a few years ago until they were purple so now they DO NOT do good in the cold. they go dead, and sting. As soon as he asked me to go push carts (just to keep telling people to do things, he had FOUR of us out there believe it or not) I walked when my fingers started to piss me off.
I know to some people these are "low" jobs but I graduated a trade school and worked with computers and in offices and there is always something. SOMETHING to piss me off. sexism, classism, whatever.. wish I had something positive to say, just sharing experiences. I think Im about to go work fast food 7 days a week. To me its about luck. Good co workers or not. Thats all I care about anymore not work money anything... just no bullshit
You really have to vet your jobs the way you would pick a relationship. Most jobs suck that's why I am always competitive and do research on the company. Emphasize my skills and my ability to learn skills. Let them know you can adapt to the culture. Be positive and energetic at least at the interview. No job is perfect but I can guarantee you that being picky and getting some college especially like Penn Foster can add value to your worth.
I had my first day at my new job and I want to quit already 🙃
You still at that job?
I really needed this. For years I've been quitting jobs and trying to get to the next shiny thing, but now I'm broke miserable and aimless at the age of 30. I know what I need to do now and it's all thanks to this video. Thank you man.
Go get what’s yours Tristian!
❤️❤️❤️
Im nearing 40 and im still not stable in job.
Putting yourself in a calm state and maintaining it is right, because if you are calm, you’ll be able to have a higher tolerance for miscellaneous stupid/hard stuff.
What I am trying to understand is how all these people who make these videos live in these nice homes/apartments etc. and able to go from job to job?!?! 🤔🧐
social media is fake
😂😂🤷🏾♂️
Young people often don't have realistic expectations from a job. All you can expect from an employer is for them to be respectful and pay you on time. If they're doing that you should stay until you have a bonafide plan together. The key to a better job is certifications/licenses. Get a certified skill and you'll be on your way.,
I do think its wise to have a plan of action if and when decieding to switch careers. I do feel that sometimes were not going to have everything mapped out and we have to take action based on our belief within ourselves and faith that with action, persistance and consistentcy, all things will work out.

29 here and thinking of quitting tomorrow
Are we lazy or do we KNOW that there is something out here better for us ? Like all the business ideas ,that promotion , or that book we keep saying we’re going to publish ? 🤔
I think that’s a great question everyone should ask themselves. If everyone was truly honest with themselves they know the answer to that question. Some will SAY they want more but aren’t willing to make sacrifices to get more so they settle. Others know they want more and are willing to make changes but they’re stuck because this is new territory for them, they’re not sure how to proceed so they get overwhelmed, paralysis by analysis, procrastination, etc.
Mine isn’t so much of quitting, just companies expect unicorns anymore. Have little to no training, then expect you to know your job within a month. Completely amazes me of unrealistic expectations.
Sounds like it’s just finding a place that is the right fit for you and visa versa. Finding a company that is willing to help you along while holding you accountable, you know.
I have a hard time staying at jobs that I feel are soul sucking. I once quit a car dealership job on my first day. I went to lunch and never came back. Nobody even called to check on me or see what happened.
I once opened up a bar for my morning shift, put all the stools down off the counters, let the 3 regular drunks waiting in to sit on 'their' stools, walked calmly to the parking lot, got in my car and drove away. I saw their jaws hit the floor as I laid rubber out the driveway and honestly it's one of my favourite/hilarious memories I hold to this day.
Oh my… this shows employers are least interested to invest in their employees.
Proper shirt right there..... I'm just glad I have a barber license, something to fall back on. My advice is to develop a skill/trade you can always have for a safety net. Great video.
Thank you for watcthing man!
This is so me I thought I had ADHD for a sec I quit a job like it ain't none get depressed don't like it and out
Haha.. you’re fine it’s just something a lot of us go through. You’ll figure it out I’m sure of it🙏🏾
I can 100% relate to this
The longest job I had I stayed for 6 years. I genuinely enjoyed that industry and would have stayed longer until we got a new CEO (who had a political agenda when he applied to that post) and I quit. This was in the beginning of the pandemic.
I got a part-time job to help pay off my bills, and was pressured by family to find a full-time job in the meantime. Eventually I found one, but it was a miserable experience. I quit and upgraded my skills, then tried my luck again. Holy shit, the next one was so much worse, and lasted even shorter. Went back to part-time and I'm much happier.
I suspect that I'm on the spectrum, and I can't mask anymore. People who suck up to upper management just make it suck for everyone else, and I can't deal with that anymore.
What kind of ife do you want for yourself and your family, if I may ask?
I spend about a year at every job. I usually don't leave until I see something better or the job I am at screws me over. Reading books really helps me stat grounded.
I've been thinking about doing this! Getting more into books and media, not social media. Glad to know it works for you
If you have solid goals for your life you won't be so quick to quit a job. I can tell you why I have had so many jobs in the last 4 years. Things happen and sometimes I work 2 jobs at once. However eventually I get burned out. In 2019 I worked at a warehouse for a year my boss was a weird man and kept saying weird jokes so I quit in Oct 2020. That same month I had a temp position for 11 months also worked fast food for 5 months in 2021. After the temp job and fast food job I had left both by August 2021 because one had expired and the other was just a POS 😂. Anyways I have been working at a bank for 4 months it's not easy but my life has a purpose and future.
i can relate, then i applied for the city. just hit 4 years now, i work outside, good hours and weekends off. most coworkers are
40 to 60, ready for retirement. get the work done first and take it easy the rest of the day/
I'm glad you found something you enjoy. I wish you much success. I hope you found value in the video! Be sure to sunscribe if you haven't already!!
I noticed the good jobs I quit but if it's a better job I usually last a year
I’ve found myself in that cycle as well and it did have its benefits of increased pay and job advancement but also lead to unhealthy work habits.
I quit 2 jobs these past two weeks :(
How's things going for you now?
I quit so many jobs man--I just can't phantom the fact going to work with people that I don't want to work with- Every job I had, it was the same people with same drama, problems etc I came to realization that I would never work a 9-5 job ever again.
Sounds like you came to realization that going into business for yourself I.e entrepreneurship is the right path for you, is that correct?
Yeah, Unfortunately, I worked under two African American women who was leading by their emotions, I just can't handle the fact of calling another person "Boss" that's just like me calling another person Mom or dad

I've had 6 jobs the whole year of 2021, and I'm going into 2022 with a new job. So far I have 2 jobs I'm moving forward with, buy whichever one I officially get first, I know i have to stick with it until I can get in & finish school. I'm more motivated than any year. My problem is that I can't stand working for other people barely making enough to get by. I'd rather be an entrepreneur, I always liked to set my own rules & be my own boss. However, until I get to that point, I need to settle for a job & save money.
Definitely have to crawl before you can walk. I’ve always wanted to have my own business but I knew if I was going to be successful I had to squire certain skills and I needed jobs for that. Aquire the skills you need and pursue your own thing if that’s what you want to do. You got this!
And working for yourself is harder. You will only have you to lean on. Good luck
It seems like your chasing the money like he says in this video figure why your doing two jobs for.. money is not the answer if you can only think of money then you might not stop if there is a reason you’ll continue wthought the side problems like employees or whatever’ difficulties
I feel guilty for quitting jobs due to letting parents down.
Why do you feel you’re letting your parents down?
@@Beyondthesurfacewithmichael I've seen my parents struggle to find work when they were younger, and now I have a job, and here I am wanting to quit.
@@Beyondthesurfacewithmichael probably parents expecting to have a job at a certain age. And when he got the job, he hated it and parents called him crazy for quitting the job that he loathed.
Im a 23 year old girl... got my first job when i was 15... i have worked at 20 different places in the past 9 years and im sorry to say its not an exaggeration. It sucks and its exhausting. I need to get my fuckin life together man. Hopefully this video can help me.
You’re 23, give yourself a break. Sometimes you have try out different things to figure out what you do and don’t want.
Most Gen Zers quit jobs a lot so it's pretty normal. I have only been through so many jobs as a Millennial because they really fxcked me over.
What happens to me is when I'm in a job no matter how wonderful or how much I love the job after about 6-9 mos. in, I feel like I'm trapped in an elevator without air. I get panic attacks and can't go or even step outside of my door. I've tried medication, denial, prayer, decreeing and declaring, therapy, goal setting and focusing on those goals such as a new car, saving for a house etc.
same :(
I just realized I’m incapable of following orders I like giving orders instead of receiving them so I’ll go head and try to be my own boss let’s see how it goes
With persistence and dedication, you'll be your own boss!!
Samee I hate following orders either I suck at it or I don’t want to do it
I feel so lost in finding a career. I try to go for positions that can challenge me and make me into the best candidate. I recently came to a conclusion that I want to pursue HR since I have my bachelors in communication but I get no calls back. I know I’m a great leader. I hate disappointing myself and quitting jobs. I go back to jobs I have had but I hate being boxed into one type of job title. over time I get bored of doing the same stuff and eventually end up of this cycle of leaving jobs. I’m glad I came across this video because I felt alone.
If HR is something you feel is a calling for you at this time then pursue that. Ask yourself what are you missing (experience, education, etc) that will get you into that position. Nothing is impossible, bro you can do it.
@@Beyondthesurfacewithmichael thank you for your motivating words. I’ve felt lost for so long thank you for the video
Thought I’m the only one always quitting
Same here. I barely tolerate with fake people. I don't mind working hard buy just toxic boss that I can't tolerate. I want to be able to wake up happy and fresh going to work. I try to fit myself in that environment but it won't last long.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Do you think there’s a possibility that it could be you and not those around you?
Really need this one. Thanks for the up. Got a new friend. Stay blessed and connected.
I’m in the same boat. In the industry I work it’s hard to find a company that’s going to fit me and help me grow as well. A lot of these companies don’t offer good enough incentives to make you want to work for them long term. You have to be there an entire YEAR before you even get 5 days PTO like Jeez how draining. Not to mention starting over from job to job, you never really get to grow and build up some PTO time!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Are you open to leaving that particular industry? Are you open to new ideas that could ultimately get you the results you’re looking for?
Hey....
To think this is from 3 years ago and it mysteriously comes up at a moment that the topic is so fitting really confirms some major decisions I am yet to make. I feel like water inside a clay pot that's just been set free.
Thank you!
Blessings to you, bro!
Problem is I dont know what type of job I want. How do I figure that out?
That’s a great question and I’m going to explain this in a new video on this topic. The short version is start with the end in mind. What kind of lifestyle do you want, then figure out how much money that lifestyle will require, then find a career, opportunity that will support that.
Oufff 😮I remember they never trained me at my job then they would kick me off the company saying I’m not doing the job right man
Going through some tough times with work, 8 months in a corporate role with KPIs is absolute mental torture. Your videos really helped shine a light on things for me. Thankypu
Glad it could help. Best of luck to you
Thanks michael, my purpose to stick it out is because I have a home loan approval in the pipe works in 3 months time. This videos helped to reignite my purpose and seeing everyone else in a similar situation makes me feel like I'm not the only one
I love your bedroom decoration!!!
Aprender Idiomas Sozinho haha! Thank you
I have this problem.
I started working in 2019, then i quit after 4 months, i started another job and I worked there for a year then quit and started another one i quit after 5 months. And now i have a job with the lowest income amongst all my previous jobs but it's surprisingly the one i feel most comfortable with.
I also love writing books, i still haven't published one, but i hope if I would i could make a good living out of it cause i absolutely adore it.
Hey Amira! You’re current job may be the lowest paying but you actually like it and with that you’ll create more value to get raises and move up if that’s what you inspire to do. Although money is important it’s not always about the money. Money comes to you when you’re enjoying what you do.
@@Beyondthesurfacewithmichael Exactly! Thank you so much for the advice Michael 😊
I quit my 9-5 last year in Nov. I was there 5 1/2 years. I L0VED my position. Hated the work place drama. Finally reached a boiling point and rage quit. I found a new 9-5 two weeks later that I thought was everything I wanted. But then the rug got pulled out from under me when my boss turned into a psycho overnight saying me and the other new girl kept f*cking up and would not be making it past our 90 days in that position. Im not confrontational so I kinda just gave up and quit cuz I couldnt handle it. Now Im at another new 9-5 and I f*cking hate it. Ppl are hostile and the job is just BORING. I sit all day on my phone cuz business is so slow. I just put my 2 weeks in. Idk what Im doing with my life. Idk where Im going to be soon. And I am dealing with a new health issue that's preventing me from getting anything but a desk job. Im glad Im not alone. But I wish I knew all the commenters in person instead of just seeing the struggle online lol. We need to make a support group.

I stared college in 2018 and I've been a habitual job quitter ever since your tip about being honest with yourself sticks out because I thought that since I only used to work phones that I had to stay stuck on call center floors until I realized it was ok to be burned out, but learn to do something new to change that situation thanks for your video!
This is true, my RUclips channel started to do well and I was just burnt out of trucking. So I quit and now I’m full time RUclips. No looking back. Everything you said in this video are facts!!! Thank you! 🤟🏾
Thank you!
Literally trying to get to where you are bro, I’m sick of trucking; I have my RUclips channel (Not this one) that I started and I am gonna work hard to do it full time. Cant stand working for other people.
Your mbti is ENFP. Same here. We have that shiny object syndrome and look for opportunities, always. That's the first part in our function stack. Extroverted feeling.
I sure am an ENFP, lol.. I found that out several years ago after taking a personality test but never indulged in the information too much. Defiantly, great to know!
I can relate, Its like leap frog. It gets old and the outcome is always the same.
Personally, i think everyone is tired of bills, lol.
Working a meaningless job day in and out, after last year, its reevaluation time.
I was at dennys the other day, i swear the waitress was doing the job of 3 people. How can this last?
The restaurant industry was completely using people. they would pay below minimum wage because of tips, but like this lady said, if there's no one in there, you make nothing. If you dont work, you make nothing.
My last job was at a restaurant. As the expo, i was being paid 9 dollars an hour with tips....9 bucks an hour! Meanwhile the owner was telling us how his other restaurant made 4 million last year. I decided he can go run the food to the tables since he obviously gets paid well for it. I walked away.
Its funny how management always says. " Give us 2 weeks so we can replace you." More often than not, once they know you are leaving, your sent home way before the 2 weeks. So if they wont give me 2 weeks to look for another job, why should I give them 2 weeks?
I want meaning in what I do. Ive done the soulless, meaningless jobs, they fill nothing.
I made 1700 dollars in tips. I got back 700! After my hard work and time they just took everything from me. I have a college degree done getting less than I deserve.
@@SpiritBae wow, that is BS....
I work at a restaurant too and so relatable
I legit had the same issue. I don’t think humans should have to work the way we work.
I’m curious to know what you mean by, “the way we work”?
@@Beyondthesurfacewithmichael I believe humans were supposed to barter to survive.
Hey I quit my job I hate it.
I too value variety and want to try out many different jobs. Most people value stability and will judge others for being like this though. Im pretty young and figured this out just recently but it does look bad on my backround check. We need to lock in
Me too! Doing the same job every day for 40 years seems like torture to me! I'm okay with like 2 or 3 years but then I want change
My life mirrors yours almost exactly with different jobs like Marketing, Mortgages, Life Insurance etc. Even with the chasing money and new hobbies. It turns out I had ADHD and im now getting coaching. Medication has really helped me out as well. Im not saying you have it but I literally could have made this exact same video as you today.
100% correct.. i already was checking all the adhd videos and i am pretty sure i have it too.. exact same life experiences and habits..
They just prescribe you amphetamines and of course you'll focus better and accomplish more, that's what amphetamine does.
You’re not alone I’ve been doing it for years I can’t to the conclusion I don’t wanna work & not for anybody I can only work for myself I need to see how I can get income
I agree with you on that, lol. Have you found something that gives you what your looking for?
@@Beyondthesurfacewithmichael yes I’m a social worker now I fished my master degree a year ago I love my job I can work from home only have to show up to the office once a week. Been here now a year I love it doesn’t even feel like a job alot of leniency and no micromanagement
@@jasminearcher7241 Big congrats!!! I’m very happy for you. With intention comes action and with action comes results. May not be immediate and it may not be the result you want right away, but eventually it all works out. 🙏🏾❤️
Great video
...really needed this..thx
Thank you for watching!
Man this is some good stuff. You speak very relative to where I’m currently at. Funny- I chose the work life over college. BIG BIG mistake. I have a gift for communication, I’m sure I could still use it though. I’m currently 19, and I will say (honesty with self) is about the toughest thing I need to get under control.
I'm glad you took something away from it and you're right honesty with yourself is the key to unlocking everything you want.
I know I’m not necessarily “a man”, but I appreciate this kind of content a lot. Thank you! More growth to the channel :)
I’m glad you found some value in it.
Hey , I just wanted to say that your videos are amazing and it really helps people out! Keep making videos, don't stop.. I see success eventually in your channel :)
Thank you for the kind words, Elena! I'll definitely be checking out your content as well.
I'm just stealing food and living out of the bushes, so I guess my answer was to return to monkey. I realized that no one wants you to succeed. They want you to submit. I want to be brutal in my methods of vengeance but I need some support and volunteer troops. Comment if interested.
SPEAKING TO MY SOUL! so much yes
Ive quite 3 jobs in a year and i thought i was the only one it feels good to see more people going through same
How's your job situation going?
I understand u completely:(, i started working in 2022 and ever since then i have had 5 jobs, nothing seems worth it... I am trying my best to study and earn certifications but it just seems like not worth it at all
With little work experience it may be a good idea to try lots of things and not get fixated on finding the “one” job you need to stick with, you know. What are you in to? What are your hobbies, likes? These answer could lead you towards careers that may interest you.
Nah frfr , this year & all last yr after I got fired ‘22 , it just went down or jobs not hiring as fast but the one I’m at now is great pay , I wish it was morning , but 2 new interviews this week and next , really feel I’ll get the next week interview job , would like to keep this one as well for some months but idk , my energy levels is down a lot , compared to this time last year , I’m def chasing money
Chasing money is defiantly a nasty habit. I’ve gone job to job chasing more pay and typically I still end up hating the job because it’s not truly what I want to do. Write out what kind of lifestyle you want to have, then figure out how much that lifestyle will cost, then lastly find an opportunity that will help you get there. Does that make sense?
Man thanks I needed this
Glad it helped bro!
I’m glad I found this as I’m looking to transition out of my current job into something else. I did speak with my pastors and they gave sound advice, but this video really made everything come into full view for me. I am unhappy with where I’m at. The working conditions are unfavorable, the management is terrible, and I still don’t have what I need to fully work in my role. Plus, there’s no growth financially or position wise unless I go back to school (and I’ve had my share of school) and even if I was to level up there, I’d still be miserable. My only options left is to do the traveling portion or just relocate to another city. However, will I still be satisfied even after doing that? I definitely have to think about why I chose what I chose and what for because I’m tired of all of this back and forth.
I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for!
I hate my career now. But my family says I'm lazy and I'll hate work even if I change career
How old are you?
@@Beyondthesurfacewithmichael 27
I thought I was the only one
Edit after 2 months;
After seeing this video i realized I was looking for all the wrong things in my career and kept burning myself out. I’m 24 and start my dream job in less than a week. Thank you.
How are you mate . How's your dream job
Same, I'm want an update from you!
ths is me. lol, i probably worked 100 jobs this year and its only october of 2023.
That's barely even possible 😂. I am on job number 3 but one of them was a part time gig so that barely counts.
Yikes, that sounds exhausting. Have you found something you like or at least enjoy?
Lol if you wanna take a hard look in the mirror, watch this.
Lmfao me affff. Sometimes I get fired though. 🤦🏾♀️
I started having this issue in 2018, when I was heavily depressed and couldn't manage my workload well. The jobs did have managers that were unreasonable to a degree but looking back I left each time because of deep stress I brought with me. The jobs were stressful in some cases but they weren't the source of it. I was depressed and anxious before I got there and the job and the people were easy to blame. The pandemic and some life changing events helped me be more aware. I find myself wanting to quit a job whenever I feel deeply stressed, and once I handle the stressor I'm OK again. Self awareness is key, no matter how much we don't want to face it.
My biggest issue now is being consistent and self aware during stressful times and disruptions. I tend to go down hill whenever my routine is interrupted, which causes high anxiety. I'm working on rebounding faster while still acknowledging that shit happens and it can be upsetting.. but all in all life isn't over.
I've still got a ways to go but any little bit helps, like you said.
Omg same! Thank you for sharing! I thought that I was the only one ❤
I'm the exact same!
Big bro, You have no idea how timely this video is everything happens for a reason when the student is ready the teacher appears , This is exactly what I needed to hear This is exactly what I need moving forward, This is a brilliant video delivered brilliantly, More people need to see and hear it I know I did thanks for taking the time to make top notch quality content like this I'm a subscriber now and I appreciate you 👊🔥
Mike, I appreciate it bro. When you’re ready to make a change, that’s when change will happen. You got this! Go get what you want!
@@Beyondthesurfacewithmichael I appreciate it my bro Yeah I'm about to leave something I've been at for about 11 months close to 12 months It's not my wheelhouse I'm going back into sales wireless I'm about to go back there in about a month I'm taking 2 weeks just to refresh and reset and this video I'm going to watch multiple times cuz you would 1,000% right It's never them it's always us if we were not trained correctly then it's on us to tell them that if they won't do it then it's on us to train ourselves if there's no way to do that then we contact HR if there still is no way then we find a place where we can be our own advocates that piece alone made this video a masterpiece, thank you again I'll let you know how it all goes and again I'm going to watch all your content now
Last year and a half, I have had 9 jobs, walked out on all 9. Sad times
Why do you think that's happening?
I just moved in with a new roommate he can't hold down a job. I moved in 4 months ago and this dude has had about 6 jobs. The most one has lasted was only 2 weeks. It's a huge red flag. I need out of here.
Yea bro get out of there 😂😂
@@Beyondthesurfacewithmichael a huge red flag and all he does is play Xbox he's 30
@@considerthis410 🤣 ah damn.. Hey man just continue to work on yourself!
Damn bro, hate that for you. You’re on better footing now ?
this is a great video! much help from those who are currently feeling this!
Folks, you NEED a TRADE, hustle or a degree that will give you a return on your investment. Soon, automation will take over and you won't have jobs to quit. Stop avoiding paying your dues with low or nonexistent skills.
I been wanting to do trades since 2019 and have set out on a mission to do them. Even moved to another state to have more opportunities to do the trades. They all suck. They all are terrible. Most of the people doing them are doing them cuz they gave up on their dreams. They gave up on figuring out what they love to do. They hate it. They’re miserable. Stfu about the trades. All I hear people say is to skip college and go into the trades. Trades are just as bad. What folks NEED to do is what they WANT to do.
You can’t tell people that if they have no fire or passion for a trade.
Go shit in your hat.
you just want what's best for you , you should be an entrepreneur you are you own boss
Absolutely! Funny enough that’s exactly the path I took 😂. Thank you for watching and if you haven’t subscribed to my channel please do so, I really appreciate the support.
ADHD. A beautiful gift given by the gods. A combination of that and self-sabotage
😂 for me it has nothing to do with ADHD and more to do with not having a plan for my life. I was focusing on the wrong things.
I just don't want to wk anymore....
lol, I hear you on that one. I hope you know that is a possibility although you’ll have to put in work in the beginning to make that happen.
Michael. Don’t stop making videos. I saw this today. After 3 years of posting and it is so relatable.. congrats on showing up .. all the best ❤❤
I appreciate the kind words🙏🏾💯
Hey! I've been greating content again and I would love your continued support. Be sure to sunscribe if you haven't already!! Blessings to you.
Bro finally someone who can relate! I keep quitting jobs and reapplying jobs in different places..
Why do you think you do that?
This resonated with me, thank you
Bro - Have you done any research on ADHD and Authism? You are describing multiple signs of neurodiversity. Couldn't hurt to do some research on it.
😂 no I haven’t but thank you for sharing. It’s a lack of not understanding what I truly want in life and having a plan to go get it. I was operating off of the quickest way to get ahead without putting the work in. Thank you for watching. Be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. I appreciate your support.
"I Keep Quitting Jobs: What Am I Really After"
Disability payments, a draughty bedsit, with the freedom to wander parks feeding pigeons, while muttering to yourself ?
"I keep quitting jobs".. U sure the title shouldnt be "I keep getting fired"?
😂😂😂😂
Man I just dnt like working I’m tryna find my passion while im working a job I don’t even like
I quit my job after 2months, now I’m depressed and I feel guilty because I let my parents down, I’m a disappointment
Bro, negative self talk is a terrible habit to feed. Don’t be so hard on yourself. The great news is that you can always start fresh. Thank you for watching. Be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. I appreciate your support!
Since 2012, it’s normal
I think a lot of people (even successful ones) don't do this sort of self introspection until very late in their careers. With things changing so fast in the workplace these days, everyone will need to ask themselves some very difficult questions sooner or later.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the compliment. Blessings to you
Thanks so much for this video and sharing your journey. I work in tech and I'm struggling with the same thing where I keep quitting jobs and getting a new job for money. I finally got a job where the workload is way more than I can handle for not that much more pay. Its eating into other aspects of my life that I care about. This tough situation is making me re-evaluate my goals and myself. Loved the first point, just realizing...why WAS I passed for promotion, what can i do. I needed to work on what I lacked
