I just put in my notice yesterday and I’ve been depressed about it ever since. Like the caller, I’m working seven days a week, there was no growth opportunity for me and I was offered something with better pay, hours and benefits. I love my job and the people in it, but I am stagnant. It’s time for an upgrade. I’ll always miss my current job, but I need to go where the opportunity is.
Yup, if you are providing tons of value at your company, capped off with zero room for growth, it's not your fault, it's them. That's the business owners fault for not anticipating this and providing a way for you to grow. The economy is going along with inflation and so you have to do what is right for you always and never stop being a good person in all situations.
i needed to hear this. I am quitting teaching after trying it for a year and theres so much emotional attachment to a teaching position. It makes leaving feel really terrible but the reality is the pace my position is is not a good fit, I am not making enough to live, and i found something more stable. Teaching has a very toxic aura of self sacrifice. like you are supposed to be a martyr and suffer through poor pay and disrespect because there's kids involved. and if you arent ok with that, "they just arent cut out for it." no, i dont hate myself and in any other field it would be considered crazy what modern teachers deal with. im protecting myself. rant over, but thanks so much for this.
Thank you for sharing this. I too just started teaching and feel the exact way. I haven’t found something that pays more, but I know what kind of business I want to start that I’m willing to wake up everyday for and work hard for.
@@expressivemelanin your mental health comes first, if you feel that your job is poisoning your life may be it's time for you to do something else. You can always find another job, but once your life is gone you'll never get it back ❤
Oh this is literally same today was my last day as teacher and i was feeling really guilty as my old students were crying and missing me a lot i felt a deep connection with them but yeah i have to level up i was a nice person and everyone praised me alot today ❤️
It's not the company or the building. It's the people you got to know working with them. Who cares what happens to the company? But the people you worked with and liked.
I quit my job today. It was a very comfortable position, but the pay was very low and there was no growth opportunity. I was stuck in the same position since the past 1 and a half year, there was no growth at all. But I still enjoyed going there. It used to be a break from my family for me.
I feel a bit guilty myself. I just quit my job yesterday. I had been working there for the past 3 months or so and that place had been an endless source of stress for me since I got there. So much to the point that I started to develop health problems because of it. The environment was incredibly toxic and the boss was a very cold person. I don't want to say mean and antagonizing because in some cases he had a right to be but it made the atmosphere so uncomfortable to stay in. Yesterday after feeling unwell, my blood pressure was high after the months of stress and something happened to trigger a panic attack. The boss witnessed this but didn't seem to care. I went back to work but after this he asked me a question about a job we were working on and I hadn't completely caught me breath after the panic attack, after which he made a criticism about low vocal volume which admittedly is an issue regularly for me but I this case I felt was unfair. I feel I overreacted and quit on the spot. I feel guilty about this but also relieved that I don't have to go back there. I have serious mixed feelings about this to be honest.
I needed to hear this so bad. Ive been feeling quilty since i put my notice in. My team was great but the company was making decisions that were hurting us. Its not my problem, i need to do whats best for me.
I had a job of 4 years and the upper management was turning to crap, they made us do things out of our pay grade, needed to be on our phones on off days, work on layout changes and fixture changes while still dumping a bunch of things on us. My store was visited and despite my loyalty and work, on my day off they came and spoke crap to my staff about me, then on a public groupchat mentioned how my store wasn’t in good shape, when i have been one of the highest scoring stores in my district for months straight but slipped up just 1 week of their visit. (1 week out of 4 years), and this one week i was labelled as the manager who had no ‘ownership’. Since no one was in my side, i quit effective immediately. I used to see quitting effective immediately as a douche move, but it’s only a douche move if everyone treated you right and respectfully and you still left high and dry without helping your employer transition. What i did was quit the same day, but filmed videos for my staff on tasks to carry out. I still through my anger made 2 weeks worth of schedules removing myself and going through all the procedures and helping the exact person who spoke crap about me just so that they wouldn’t get stressed. I asked a staff member who was quitting to stay back for 2 weeks to help them hire someone new, she wanted to quit the week, i said please stay back to help. So i didn’t ghost them, and while that’s what they deserved (not my staff, but the higher ups) , i chose to still help my staff despite the backbiting and unappreciative attitude i felt. Quitting fast isn’t a douche move, just make sure the people you like are still supported and helped. You can leave but leave with a plan. Care about your staff so that when you leave, they know what to do. If 2 weeks of a notice is mentally traumatizing you because the job got bad, prioritize your mental state, nothing is worth that diminishing. 4 years in a company, what a shit show.
I’m about to go to an interview for a job I’m pretty sure I’m getting and gearing to put in my 2 weeks notice . These people are going to be pissed 😂. But gotta do what’s best for me and my family . My babies need food on the table . Especially during these times in June of 2022 .
@@wattoman28 yea I did man . I’m actually here on lunch now . I managed to keep my day job at reduced hours so I can work this 4pm to 12 am shift . I’m working harder than I have ever in my life !! But the times call for it 💪
Great video. The company i work for is great, flexible hours, and great people. Only problem is the money. My money sucks, i can't even afford gas. But i received a call from job that pays double and I TOOK IT!
Im in the same position right now. Ive been crying all day at work today. I know my agent is sad and told me she is hoping she will be able to find someone who works like me.
I'm feeling the same as this guy. I'm starting a new job with better pay in a few weeks, but I love my boss and am considered the team's top performer. I was even given a counter offer that matched the pay of the new job and a new set of responsibilities, but I know the stress level would be far higher than in the new job. I just hate the reality that my team is going to absorb my immense unfinished workload when we're already really short staffed.
This is me right now I'm currently working 6 days a week at a job they don't care about me they honestly could care less but somehow I feel guilty leaving Even though I'm doing better for myself And it makes no sense to me but this is the best way that I see it
thanks so much i just quit my dream company high paying job, it was just not working out, my colleagus my manager everyone is so nice, office is so good, and i am really really lucky to have a high paying job during recession, i have no other opportunity but my mental physical health was effed up, i felt i have no impact in my work and i was working long hours, i always felt that if i work like this for myself i could really do something, hence i quit. this makes me tear up, thanks for this video. it is really hard, it feels i am breaking up with sm1
Thanks for this. I'm about put in my 2 weeks notice this morning. I'm leaving for many reasons. The first is because I was given an offer to another opportunity and I'm waiting for the go ahead to when I can start, the second is that one boss who I see as a mentor is leaving soon, the third was that I'm not getting paid for what I'm worth, the fourth is that I'm under appreciated and the fifth was that they threatened to terminate me for having an urgent dentist appointment for a tooth extraction due to a periodontal abscess. So yeah I'm out and I'm not accepting counter offers. Once they replace me with a crappy person maybe they'll realize what they lost.
I would like to know how to answer the question "may we contact your current employer for a reference?". I am job hunting because my current one has become toxic to the point of feeling the stress in my body. No one knows I am looking for other employment.

man this was just what I needed to hear this morning. I had already decided, but this really helped with the guilt.

Thank you so much for this video! I’m putting my resignation in 😩😩 in about 5 minutes! Ughh this is so hard! I’m glad I’m Not alone!
Nope, not alone.

This is cute. Bro you’re replaceable. The building isn’t going to burn down if you leave. And if it does? That’s not your problem.
This.
It's not the company or the building. It's the people you got to know working with them. Who cares what happens to the company? But the people you worked with and liked.
It's natural human emotion.
However, I personally needed to see this comment. So thanks
You leaving may open an opportunity for one of those people to move up.

Resignation guilt?
Have you ever been fired?
Felt the same way. Maybe because I haven’t been fired before I always quit for better opportunities 🤷♂️
I’ve been fired and I still have resignation guilt.

Mossouri?
thanks a lot....
Hi Ken, Where's the link to purchase that travel cup on your desk? 😃
Someone misspelled Missouri 🤭
You spelled “Missouri” wrong.

Enjoyed this video , yeah I made the jerk move and left them my position hanged the next day I quick , And I don’t care .. why?
Simple and is not talking to my possible guilty feelings:
1-didn’t get a dime raised when I was supposed to
2- was feeling miserable and kinda dead wasting my time into four walls seen nonsense
3- to Live was a urge to me ,and was a decision I should’ve taken way before and didn’t do it by fear
4- they let me know always how disposable I am for them and at the moment of my resignation even more
5- if I died any given day in a car’s accident going to work they happily laughing inside would replace me like you replace a plastic fork from your lunch pad ,the human being is such that prefers to know you died to feel peace instead understanding why you did something while you are alive and they can’t do it
5- one more important feeling : “FUCK IT “!!!
Start living and look for that what you want to do,what you love,the income you believe you deserve , your life is YOURS not your company or boss property
Do whatever your conscience tells you too, if you feel they care about you give them not 2 weeks but 4 … I’ve been MORE than Good in the past with companies , one of them did extra work right before I left , what a stupid thing..companies could care less about you
The only ones you should be good to is yourself ,your fellow gentleman( no boss or employers they are not your neighbor) and God.
