This resonated sooo much with me as I'm going through the same process rn. I love how you just up and quit and decided to move to your "soul city". Super inspiring and comforting watch ❤
My workplace culture had eroded. No sense of teamwork anymore. Burnt out working 60 hours a week on the regular. Work life balance meant nothing to my employer. My supervisor got his position by default and is lazy and immature. His micromanaging was the last straw so I quit on the spot two weeks ago. I'm currently living off my savings. I can survive for about the next five or six months but I have never felt so free after quitting my job. I have an interview Thursday for a PE teacher position. Life's work. Stout hearts.
Left 5 corporate jobs over the last 5 years. Absolutely no regret - I can barely remember them. Finally in a good position to pursue what I wanted to do. But still in fears stage.
Im about to do it, but ive been homeless before and it sucks badly! Living in your car with no access to showers is hard. I make over 100k a year now, but boy am I suffering emotionally. Im jacked and fit so im physically fine, but my mental is wearing on me from the stress of corporate and looming layoffs what seems like every 4 months. It really starts to wear on me when i think of going through this another 25+ years (im only 30 now) and that it wont get any better as it stands now. So im about to take the leap, but i got to figure out how not to be homeless. If you havent been homeless in america, then just wait. It aint like germany. Especially if youre an able working young man. They have no fucking pitty!
Oh I believe that it’s a whole different thing in the US! Germany does have a pretty good social security system, which I’m very thankful for. But this really doesn’t sound too good. Have you thought about maybe taking on a part time position instead, to pay for the bills but to have more time to yourself?
@@hnnhml Yea i have, but im leaning toward more of investing and building a business. I hate that i even said that, but i cant work another 10 years in corporate, even though its good money. Thanks for the reply and suggestion!!
"Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure." Anthony Robbins I do recognize that money is an absolute prerequisite for (material) survival in the modern world, but一for my money一it does NOT guarantee emotional or spiritual fulfilment! Nobody enjoys a life of constant frustration, limitation, dissatisfaction and quiet resignation.
just happened to me a couple days ago except I didn’t quit. I asked for FMLA leave and since my company is smaller than 50 they said that they would give me unpaid leave with no guarantee that the role would be open and the very very next morning i see My role is posted online and accepting applicants, don’t know how to feel but this video really helped. Felt like it wasn’t the right place for me for some time.
I lived in Germany for 4 years and recently moved back to the states . Allot of my German friends seem to have this idea of having a secure job their whole lives. How did your friends react to you quitting your job?
True - kind of understandable, as a “secure” job here is actually pretty secure, since it’s difficult for companies to fire someone as you probably know:D My friends were actually super supportive, congratulating me for “being brave” and taking the leap, which I’m very grateful for:)
@@hnnhml That great to hear. Imagine it's quite an interesting time in this journey of yours. Do you have a video on the Turning point that you faced working a corporate job and what made you want to leave?
@@Adam-s3w7d Oh it definitely is an interesting time indeed :D Not really, this is the only one where I talk about my decision to quit in more detail...but I might make another one where I talk about the turning point(s) :)
For now I'd like to not name any names - but its a company only active in German speaking countries anyways:) But overall I can definitely recommend Germany as a country to get a corporate job, as there a lots of good employers with good benefits!
@@hnnhml Kann ich gut verstehen :) sorry, spreche auch Deutsch haha. Ich überlege wieder nach Deutschland zu ziehen. Bin nämlich in ner ähnlichen Situation wie du mit meinem Job, lebe aber im Ausland und das macht alles ein bisschen schwieriger. Mach auf jeden Fall weiter mit den videos, mir helfen deine videos richtig :)
You might be right about that, partly..I agree that older generations had to work very differently than the younger ones, on average. But also I think many of today’s jobs aren’t really necessary, as in they either don’t provide any substantial value to the employing companies or they could and maybe should be replaced by software - at least from my experience. And complaints are usually the beginning of change, so I don’t think that complaining is bad, if it’s followed by action:)
@@hnnhml Us Gen Xers are keeping this planet thriving right now. Our work ethic is completely different than yours. We understand that we had to earn everything. You guys want stuff handed to you without doing the work...just because. It's entitlement. I work with a shit ton of you Gen Z's and they are hands down the worst employees in the entire building. They are a nightmare to work with. They have no self discipline and zero work ethic. They bitch and complain about EVRYTHING.
No sir, we just know our value and worth and would rather spend our time doing something we know is worth-while for our precious time and skills. :) Our generation is all about breaking out of the old, out dated mindset of working hard with little to no results that do not satisfy us. We like working smarter, not harder ;) Sincerely, a 1994 born Zillenial 😘
@@PinkPeach888 Your worth? You're still a kid. What worth do you bring to the table? I've worked with your generation SEVERAL times and you don't stop complaining. Working smarter not harder means not working at all with your generation. Your generation is the worst generation I've ever worked with in my entire life. There was a Gen Z at my job who called out 15 times in one month and was 30 min plus late 12 times. Yeah, they got shit canned. You Gen Z's are lazy and want everything handed to you just because.
@@hnnhml It's just something to think about. If you could truly go out there with confidence knowing a lot of people might think you're somehow ugly because of very common under-eye darkness, how much more true confidence could you be capable of?
@@tchittenden1 bless your heart, if you were qualified to speak on confidence you wouldn’t be commenting on the potential makeup use of a woman on the internet.

Without fear there’s no bravery. Live the life of your dreams according to your vision and purpose. You got this!

You are bold, but the universe rewards the bold!
Hehe lets hope so 🤞🏼
Im burnt-out working 60 hours a week at my 9 to 5. After my leadership promotion i started to dislike my job. I might just quit soon.
Oh I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you’ll find a better path for you soon:)

Can I ask what the big media company you worked for or is that private? I want to find a good job ☺️

You Gen Z's have no idea what work is. You guys can't even get out of bed without complaining about something.
