Hey loves 🤍 I'm blown away at the response to my story and it warms my heart to know I'm not alone. I created a free Slack group for us to connect + share resources for quitting/life after quitting 👇🏾 Join here: join.slack.com/t/sansraison/shared_invite/zt-2rjbz9pyv-VsX8AAuaV_FbAenxe9O5gg Any questions? Email me at ioastudios.content@gmail.com- Excited to chat!🤍
Me tooo 🙂↕️🙂↕️😢😢😢😢 I received a warning from HR cause I made some mistakes.. I Come late to work...and I work from home very often and it's Not acceptable 😢😢😢😢😢 I don't know what to do
Ah mate, you absolutely can do something about it. It's scary when you first think about it, but then when you start to look for solutions, you all of a sudden find them. It makes me really sad to see that you're doing something like that, that you absolutely don't like doing, as I'm sure you have experiences and skills that you can draw on to be happy and in control of your future.
I almost never leave comments on anything but I just wanted you to know how impactful your story is. For someone who is where you were three years ago, I could relate to EVERY item on your list. Keep doing what you love because you are right - you were meant to do this and even if it is difficult at times you are fulfilling your calling and inspiring people like me who are still in that dark place and looking for the courage to follow my intuition
:') thank you SO much! this means a lot and gives me confidence to keep GOING!! I reallt appreciate you taking the time to leave this message and I know you will find your way out 🤍🤍 nothing lasts forever and everything is leading you to the next step!!
I am on the verge of resigning with no plan a, b or c because I am exhausted in every area. I watched almost all the videos on TH-cam of people leaving corporate and I can't wait for the day I can finally go and still finance myself.
I've been there! :'( I honestly think the best thing I did was just go without trying to stay and prepare *because* I was so mentally drained. For me personally it was so hard to think clearly and the moment I left, it was so much easier to plan. Lmk if you need a sounding board! Happy to help!
GIRL. I left corporate back in April and transitioned to working as a cocktail waitress at a nightclub. While I make less money, my happiness and sense of freedom have increased exponentially. Also, all of my "signs" I needed to quit were the same as yours, especially the point about not caring about the work. Toward the end I realized that I wanted anything but the job of my managers and I knew that climbing the corporate ladder wasn't for me.
I love this so much. I just left my corporate data analyst job to be an office aide at an elementary school 😂 also took a HUGE pay cut but i am SO much happier 😅
That sounds like such a breath of fresh air! I love that for you 🥹 It's funny how happiness can be so much less complicated than we make it! keep thriving!!
GIRL, this was the scariest part!! I feel so much more like myself now :') I'm putting some material together for this cause it's so much more common than I realized! You might like it. Let me know if you're interested (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com).
Thank you for this. My corporate job has got me wishing I was dead. I am so deeply unhappy and depressed I don’t even recognize myself anymore. It’s awful. 😞 I know I need to quit.
Make a plan to leave. I left a job I loved. I made a plan before I left. I transferred to another location. See if you can be a substitute teacher until you find something else.
I totally understand. I felt the same as you. I resigned effective immediately on Monday. Is it scary yes. But I didn’t like the alternative. My mental health had to be put first. I looked at how long my money would last me and I left.
I’ve worked in corporate America since the 80’s, back then it was the type of job to have because of stability, pay, and benefits. Somewhere around the mid 2000’s I noticed a shift, companies started losing loyalty to their employees and let them know just how dispensable they are. After going through a lay off and trying a lesser paying job, I went back to corporate America, in a healthcare profession. Thank goodness I’m retiring next year! Corporate America is so bad these days, toxic management, micromanaging, favoritism, backstabbing, and to top it off I work with patients settling their hospital bills, and over 50% are hateful, condescending, mean, and often resort to name calling. I’m counting down the days I can put this job behind me. It has definitely prepared me for a future venture as I plan to work a part time side hustle in retirement. I enjoy work, but I want to enjoy what I do, not constantly look at the lock all day until I can get off work. I enjoy watching videos like these where people leave their job, and focus on themselves.
Omg, thank you for sharing your story, sooo insightful! That's crazy how bad it's gotten and I'm so happy for you to be free and do your own thing ✨🤍 It's such a liberating feeling. I appreciate your kind words, it's genuinely my pleasure!!
I talked to a Lyft driver and he said something similar. He said he noticed a change in the 90’s. My mom started tech in the early 2000’s at 24 and said it got worse as time went on. I started two months shy of turning 23 and constantly feel like I’m suffocating. When I tell her about stuff I encounter, she said it’s much different to how she was treated just starting in her career. Idk, she feels that younger people are being treated much harsher now and that the expectations are even worse for someone who is less experienced. Of course, that’s how it is for majority of people no matter what age. I’m 25 now and have considered maybe becoming a massage therapist instead. I’m not sure, yet. I’m just not able to kiss ass very well, haha.
I don’t think work is supposed to cause pain and suffering. We have normalized it but it is not ok. We work to live and build. We aren’t supposed to live just to work.
Absolutely agree - but the environment that we live in trains us to be okay, and to give up control and fulfilment for our future, in exchange for a "safe" income.
@@MartinPlattFreedomSuccessCoach I think about that a lot. It’s hard not to believe that we aren’t modern slaves. We get paid but at what cost? And sometimes below a livable wage :(
I feel much of this. Instead of anger and jealousy, I feel inspired when I see others making a sustainable living doing what they love. Since 2010, I have taught myself photography, how to sew, I have earned a bachelor's then an MBA, got a good job in HR, like I planned. But I am overworked, stressed out, and anxious with my HR job. I dream of a creative career and being self-employed. So I have been setting myself up to open an Etsy shop making baby goods. And I also plan to rebrand my photography business... hopefully by the end of this year.
Omg that's amazing!! Share your Etsy, I'd love to share when I can :) I'm wishing you all the best and with those skills and initiative, I'm sure you'll get exactly where you plan!!
The ESCAPISM omg I didn’t realize that’s what I was doing! I’ve always had sort of an adventurous mindset and I love being out in nature but recently I’ve been wanting to do something new and adventurous (I’m talking road trips, hiking, etc) EVERY WEEKEND. Because I don’t have time to do anything during the week and I feel like I’m missing out!!
AHH I know this feeling!! I used to PACK my weekends to the brim just to cope, insane! Now I have a healthy balance with all of those passions and interests because I'm not living in scarcity/desperation. It feels healthier! I'm putting some material together for this cause it's so much more common than I realized! You might like it. Let me know if you're interested (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com).
I have mastered boundaries so much so that I corporate can’t break me however there is the other aspect of being let go because you won’t kiss ass, they don’t like you because you set boundaries etc That is the part I have dealt with constantly At this point I give up I have to work for myself 😂
1000% it's like you're always on your toes... I came to the exact same conclusion 😂 I'm thinking of creating a guide/roadmap for people who want to switch into working for themselves, let me know if you're interested! (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
This was soooo spot on to my experiences. Started off in corporate STRONG everyone knew my name, I’m getting compliments, hand written letters from the regional supervisor, the works. But slowly and surely my mental health just deteriorated. I jump from job to job. Get in fights with my boyfriend for not having an exciting enough weekend. No envy or desire to be in any of my higher ups position. Not knowing myself because of all the masks. All of it. I didn’t make the decision to leave, I kept bouncing from job to job telling myself “just give it a year and then we’ll do this.” But either the universe stepped in or my depression got the best of me and I ended up getting fired. Now I’m forced to do what I’ve always been meaning to do 🤞🏾
OMG the way I like time traveled reading this!! Ah, I know the feeling girl. 😭🙌🏾 Sometimes these crazy events show us what we've been needing all this time. So excited for your new journey, you're gonna kill it. I'm looking to put together a community of people who have left/are leaving and I feel like you'd be a great example! Let me know if you're interested! (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
omg girl, congratulations!! that's a huge milestone 🤍🫶🏾 I'm still in shock I wasn't alone in this! I'm dying to hear your story, pls let's connect (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com).
Such a good question!! I'm trying to get a bunch of us together so we share these details with each other, it's so helpful to know the options. Lmk if you want in (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com) 🤍
I totalllyy feel you! I did this (again) last year and I will tell you the person you become after liberating yourself is so worth it 🥹 congrats girl! I'd love to hear your story too, feel free to connect (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com).
YES! Thank you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 It literally feels like an epidemic to me! So many young and/or ambitious people just not creating what they could because they're exhausted and drained, it's so saddening.
I tried corporate as well and knew immediately our values didn't aligned. I knew I wanted to work in public service. It still took me 15 years of trying different careers and organizations to find the best fit. There's no such thing as "one size fits all" in life and what works for one may not work for another. Wishing everyone the best of luck!
Totally agree!! Life is about experimenting and exploring which can be the scary, but eventually rewarding part. So cool to have people like you going after it, congrats on finding your way.
Watching this now and I honestly am really close to quitting my job, but I’m just waiting until my lease is up so I can move back home and not worry about rent. Currently working in IT just overwhelmed, not caring about the work, not wanting to progress in this or grow at all. The only time I was genuinely happy was when I was a barista so really want to go back to that honestly
Totally fair! I find any preparation over no preparation gets you closer to that freedom 🤍 completely get you! It's so good to remember or notice moments when you feel more aligned/at peace/joyful because they're such big clues into what better alternatives are!
The thing that a lot of people don't realize is that a job is a big part of your life. It's not "just a job." Or "I do what I love outside of work" It really doesn't work that wat
I think a lot of people do realize this? Both things can be true, someone can spend a lot of time at their job and have other priorities and lives outside of work
I feel similarly! Like while you can always do what you love on your "free time", it's never made 100% sense why I couldn't do what I love for *mos*t of my time. Sure it's harder to craft but so much more worth it because to you point, work take up most of our life and emphasis on OUR life, not our companies. Love this take!
"Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure." Anthony Robbins Nobody enjoys a life of constant frustration, limitation, dissatisfaction and quiet resignation.
I 100% agree and as a result, I quit my job and the country that I live and work in. I didn't want to apply for another job and DIDN'T. The thought of running out of my current job into another potentially uncomfortable environment filled me with dread. I have a matter of weeks before I leave and go on a productive health sabbatical to try and make my dreams work. If all else fails, we can always go back to working for someone ~ but on our terms. Good luck.
OMG YES, I couldn't relate or agree more! That's exactly the mindset I had and ever since I've only found more reasons to keep pushing for my dreams 💕 Such a beautiful story and message. I'm wishing you all the best in your next chapter!!
After finishing my degree , I thought that I’d reach new horizons. Boy oh boy, was I in for a rude awakening when I started working in corporate America office settings. Racism, micro aggressions, YT mean girl groups , rumors, gossip, you name it etc. I’m slowly starting to realize that I don’t have a dream job and my goal is to be self sufficient and leave corporate America as well.
Omg that's horrible! I'm so sorry you had to go through this :( Yesss! I always say let's create our dream lives and the "job" will become obvious. That's also my dream to be financially independent and make a living doing what I love/also serves my community!
100%! I wish someone told me that too, pick jobs from alignment and interest rather than a paycheck. As I've switched into entrepreneurship, I've seen that this lifestyle is suitable for me but I think someone can def find alignment in companies if they're intentional about it. :)
@@ifycadeau sometimes you bump into roles that sound very interesting and once you’re in it, you find out you don’t really like it as much. That happens too. And then other times you hear of all these other roles that none of them sound appealing at all!! Lol….. it’s tough trying to figure it out.
I am sitting here choking back tears, it's a very cold rainy Sunday and I am at work, people calling all the time barking orders, all I can think is, if I can get out of here before the sun goes down I can see my chickens and garden. and I just don't know how to get out...but you've given me a little more clarity
Melanie! :'( This makes me want to cry because I remember that feeling all too well. Life is too short for you to not enjoy YOUR own precious time (with your chickens, garden, and whatever else). I promise you if you make the intention and plan to find another way, you will. 🤍 Let me know if you need any help! I'm creating some resources around planning & community.
I love internet for being able to find creators like you who give me so many cool things to think about. I'm constantly amazed that this thoughts are new to me, even though I heard some other version of them that didn't resonate with me. I like how you described jealousy as not a negative thing, but rather an inspiration. And I also see how I just plainly don't like what I'm currently doing. Or maybe I like it, but not in the current setting. I'm feeling privileged to have a job that pays and in the same time I'm afraid of not being grateful - I'm worried that in general I'm not able to feel good in any job. Thank you for this video.
ME TOO! It's so good for knowledge sharing🤍✨ I'm so glad this could help see things in a light, that's my favorite! I felt the same way at the time which made it feel so tricky but after leaving and exploring opportunities that didn't just give me a paycheck, but more of a purpose it was so clear I was thinking too small. We often don't feel worthy to have an aligned career that pays well which is so funny because just the thought/idea of that IS the the things that's keeping us from it. You're SO welcome, let me know if you have any questions!
Your job hired you for a reason! Sometimes we forget how valuable our skills are because we're so used to them-a lot of times it just takes being in environments where you see how the things we find basic are really helpful to others. I never realized I could get paid to do social media until I explored! If you ever need a sounding board, here to help. 🫶🏾
I really needed to hear this. I am definitely at this point and I need to leave. I am just scared of the unknown and being jobless forever if I quit with no plan. Lol
I love these kinds of videos but quitting a job without anything lined up is irresponsible unless you have a spouse to support you. Have a plan and make certain you can cover all your bills for at least a year.
Ah, so glad it could be helpful! 🥹🫶🏾 yes so so valid, I'm actually working on a roadmap for this exact concern (money/survival after quitting). Lmk if you're interested (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)!
It definitely can be! I'm glad I left when I did, it almost unlocked a new version of me even professionally-but now in hindsight, I have a better picture of how you can do this a bit more strategically!
I just quitted my job - the most toxic place and people I’ve ever worked with, without any backup plan and little money to last for 2 months and on top of it, mortgage. But I don’t regret a bit. Recalling times when I was alone being at home, while working at this job, I sobbed and I knew I needed to get out of here. Right now, I’m in early stage of a job search. I used to know how to do this thing, how to position myself in the job market, etc. But now I just don’t give a damn about these corporate jobs anymore. With the fake job posts just to keep employer branding, toxic environment, all talk with little work done, etc. I don’t feel like making values or using my specialty to creating values when I’m in a corporate position. I am deciding to quit the corporate life for good and start my pet accessories business right in the middle of the confusing, messy time now. But strangely I feel right with this decision. I’m a millennial btw, always felt out of place with corporate life since I had my first job in Marketing, then transitioned to HR and it gets uglier. 😅 When it’s enough, you know. This is the sign.
Ahh omg, that makes me so happy 🥹 Of course, it's literally my pleasure. I've been hearing so many similar stories about this it's crazy-I'm putting something together I think might help. Feel free to reach out if you're interested! (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
I’ve worked at my job for yrs, it wasn’t always bad, but now it’s so draining, unfulfilling, and overall dreadful. It’s all I can do to make myself go to work, I’ve realized it’s very much effecting my mental health. Finding a position/that works with my kids schedules is the sole reason i haven’t left. Very inspiring video, thank you!
I'm so sorry and I'm hoping you can find some alignment or another role that is suitable for your schedule/happiness. 🤍🤍 I think overtime it can wear on you and the inefficiencies become more obvious!
🥹🥹 crying!! I feel honored to be a part of that process and wish you all the best! It's crazy how many of us feel like this and I want to put something together to help with that whole process. If you're interested in it, feel free to reach out (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)! You've got this!!
I'm sending this video to my friends because it is exactly what I'm going through and how I feel. Verbatim!!!! I don't have to explain it...I can just have them watch this. WOW...One for word what I feel.
WOW! First off, honored 🙌🏾 Second, I know the feeling of not being able to articulate/express this so I'm so happy it can validate your feelings. You're not alone!
I literally sitting at my work desk (just got in a minute ago) and watching this. I feel this deep! I hate my job in corporate real estate and it’s draining my soul! Listening and dealing with entitled landlords all day and under constant changes and pressure! I miss healthcare industry
I remember feeling like this almost every day, constantly frustrated and drained from every activity. It's so crazy how a change of environment/activities can literally reverse this! Maybe it's worth exploring some options in healthcare. Wishing you all the best
I have been in strong consideration of leaving my job for several months now and that voice inside has continued to grow stronger. I lost my father in August of 2023 and loss like that has instantly made me want to simplify my life and/or replace everything that doesn't serve me. I came across this video yesterday and believe it is the last catalyst I needed to make the jump. No concrete plan, but a whole lot of faith in who I am and what I bring in value wherever I go. Thank you for the encouragement and transparency shared. Continued blessings!
I'm so sorry to hear that! ❤ That is totally understandable and such a powerful message. I'm so honored to be a part of that catalyst and wish you all the best, that's exactly the mindset you need. You're so welcome, you've got this!!
This! The death of those closest to you will put your entire existence into perspective. I lost both of my grandmothers within a month. I was laid off from my job a month before they passed. And just like that, the fear of losing my job came true yet again. I went through a depression after all these life changes and I’m finally on the other side of it. I recently began working at a retail store and while I know this could be temporary if I choose, and I could hop right back on the corporate ladder, I don’t think I have any fight in me left. I no longer have the passion to fight for roles I have to force myself into. I just want to exist. I want to be healthy and happy and take care of my children. Corporate is not for creatives, I don’t think I’m going back.
Thank you for this. 🙏 I just quit my job in real estate and I don't know what's next but I'm very comforted to know there are like-minded people out there and I'm not alone.
I’m a property manager in real estate- I have never come across a more draining soulless industry like real estate. Glad you have quit that awful industry. Every day I show up to work a little piece of me dies inside. I want to follow my passion and be an occupational therapist
“Math, science, ass kissing” as an audhd girlie that sounds like absolute fucking hell to me. I’ve never done corporate and never will but I’m watching this bc I’m thinking of dropping my current path to pursue my hearts calling and it’s scary
I definitely learned A LOT there but it was more about learning myself and what I like/what I don't that was the most valuable + some best practices on working in teams/communication. But yeah a lot of it didn't align and parts of me wish I started what I'm doing now, sooner so kudos to you girl! As long as you stay dedicated and true to your calling, you'll be absolutely golden. 🤍🤍🫶🏾 wishing you all the best!
shew... I am hearing you and I appreciate you sharing this! I work in a small business, in wealth management and I got all my credentials and ever since then, I've hit such a wall! I'm not stressed by any means. I'm bored and I've discovered that I literally don't care to do anything more here. I don't want to leave just to find another similar job where I'm bored in 6 months. also, I can't do the ass-kissing that's required in interviews. I just have no idea what else I can do, but I've committed to spending this next year to figure it out! I'm tired of my own excuses keeping me small, lol.
You're so welcome!! 🤍🤍 omg yess the boredom gets realll and it's shame that it extends to everything else and makes you forget your passions/purpose. I love that you're taking time for exploration, that's KEY. Not enough people take the time). I'm starting a small coaching program that helps with this exactly (mapping out your next steps). Lmk if you're interested, it sounds like you might like it!
Omg yess 'studying for stability', relate so hard! 😂😂 That's always how I felt and it was sad cause I didn't know there was any other option, but there SO is!!
This is me right now! I studied accounting too and currently in school for my masters, working in finance for a government defense company that so many see as prestigious, on my second week of my new job and I feel like i will never be truly happy working inside of a cubicle 4 days a week and 10 hours a day. I envy people who get to work for themselves and be outside and feel the sun on their skin.
Actually I've been thinking a lot about this lately, sort of a community for all of us where we could share our stories with each other. If you're interested, I'd love to have you in (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com).
yes exactly!! no one talks about this and how to leave safely-I've been working on some resources I think can help with the finances and budgeting aspect as well as planning. Let me know if you're interested, I'd love some testers!
Love this video. Describes everything exactly how I feel. I also work in sales so I find that in corporate many sales people cheat and management will always turn a blind eye on it as it makes them money and helps hitting targets. Those who are not so lucky and not cheat don't make their targets and then are put on even extra pressure. The whole system is just so bad.
I can relate. Is why I am studying to translate and interpret in 3 languages , starting content creation soon, maybe real estate and getting my accounting degree to start my own practice. Working at these places and orientations, etc are all just plain boring and rediculous. Making low pay and doing things you dont care about feels like death . I say if you can take a leap of faith and listen to that voice just do it. Its the life you have to live so do what you want,.
Sooo so happy you're here! 🥰🫶🏾 It's my pleasure! I know they can def be draining, especially if it's not the right role/company. I made that mistake but it's taught me so much about finding aligned work!
I felt the same! 🤍 In hindsight I feel actually grateful for those constraints because it helped me get creative/try ways to make money I'd never tried before because I had to fully support myself with no crutch. If you tap into your creativity + open your mind to resources you've never considered (peers, mentors, family, organizations, websites, savings, etc.), sometimes the options are right under your nose!
It can feel very limiting for sure! Just remember there's always a way and always another option/choice (sometimes less than ideal, but worth it in the long run). 💕 We're never *truly* stuck!
20:25: and I paraphrase: 'I don't need all those things and you don't need all those things to keep you happy if you're fulfilled and happy with what you're doing...". A BIG AMEN
Of course, it's literally my pleasure!! So glad it's helpful. 🥹🥹✨ I'm coming up with something I think could be a bit more practical and helpful for the process too, lmk if you're interested! (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
This video came up on my feed and i clicked. This is not my story about wanting to leave corporate BUT CAN I TELL YOU YOUR WORDS HAS INSPIRED ME NONETHELESS!!!! Amazing🎉 To thine own self be TRUE💟
Thank you for sharing your story!Corporate is typically an unnatural and ungodly environment. Feel free to check out my story. I now make skits about corporate bs. You were VERY wise for quitting. I wasn't brave enough and ended up getting fired in 2020 for staying un a toxic workplace environment, go figure. Much success and blessings to you!🎉
Omg! Have to check it out 😂 Added some to my watch later haha. That's so validating to hear! I def felt so unwise at the time so I'm glad I listened and glad you got out eventually 💕 you too!!
It's huge! While your values can show you what you don't want, they can also show you what you do want/what will make you happier. This can even be slight tweaks in your schedule or job completely. Wishing you all the best! Lmk if there's anything I can do to help.
Thank you so so so much for sharing your story. This hit home for me too earlier this year, and everything you shared about what you experienced in the corporate setting rang true for me too. Congratulations on taking this journey into the unknown and sharing your experience with us! It gives me courage to take a leap of faith with my content creation journey too. ❤
Of course! It's my pleasure. 🤍🫶🏾 Thank you so much, this literally makes all of it worth it! Absolutely love that and SO excited for you, it's gonna be amazing! Lmk if you ever have questions, rooting for ya
THIS IS ME RIGHT NOW, AS AN EDUCATOR!!! I'm done. I'm tired; I desire more. I planned today to have a 2-week notice prewritten and then head to his office and tactfully communicate; this is it.✌️🏾
You're so welcome, I know how stressful it can be!! 😫 Due to everyone's response I'm actually putting together a guide I think might help, you might like it! Feel free to reach out if you're interested. (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
The Elders gave advice: Worry Less. Take more risks. Leave something beautiful on earth. I suggest you work part time and find the love of your life. Your passion. Open that door. Settle on spending less. Everyone is spending less. Inflation. In this time, keep your shelter, food, gas, meds and enjoy time creating yourself and new ideas. Time to settle and think about who you really are and what you really want in life. Set goals. "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. God Bless.
Thank you so much for making a video like this! I’ve been searching for a video that’s relatable to my situation right now and this is 100% my story. I’m currently in the process of pivoting my next move, so this gave me hope that I’m not alone in how I feel. Especially as a black women. Corporate is not easy mental and it takes a lot of stripping from your authentic self to fit in with the “culture.” I was so much more fulfilled when I was helping ppl being a CNA,
wowow! so validating to hear and makes me so glad it could help you feel less alone 💕 it can be such a hard thing to navigate let alone when it feels like just you! wishing you all the best in your pivot, I can tell it's gonna be good for you!!
This completely resonates with me. Everything you are explaining of your experience is exactly what Im feeling and going through. Im just trying to figure out my next step.
Ah! So glad it could help in any way. 🤍🤍✨ With a little planning and action, it's a little easier to see a path especially when in the beginning when it's so fuzzy and unclear. I've been helping some viewers with this 1:1 and they seem to really like it! Let me know if you need some help!
Honestly such great advice. Thank you so much. I'm thinking about doing the same in the restaurant industry since I've become someone entirely different, mean and judgmental; I'm literally someone I can't even recognize and it's scary!
Ah! I felt the same way, it was like the worst version of me. 😫 I'm putting together an offering around this bc soo many people relate and could use help with the next steps, lmk if you're interested (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com.)
Thank you so much for creating and sharing this video. I feel the same way on just about everything. I didn’t notice how miserable I looked until it was pointed out to me a few months ago. I have decided to choose me instead of fear, judgement and stress. Thank you for your courage and I am sending so much love to everyone experiencing a challenging time. You can handle this!
Ah! You've got this! 🙌🤍 You're so welcome! Even through all the fear and uncertainty, I've never regretted choosing me, my happiness and my peace. I have a feeling you won't either. So happy this video could help in anyway, I'm rooting for you!!
I feel so much of this. God gives us all that intuition for this reason. Our free will puts makes us question it. It puts fear in our hearts and minds. But the gift of our intuition is always leading us to the answer. That’s what faith is. Believing in that nudge even when you don’t know what you’ll do next. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s the reminder I needed to hear today.
Your vulnerability, courage, and transparency is so inspiring. You articulated so clearly what I’ve been feeling but have been afraid to admit to myself. The part about needing extreme forms of escapism (vacations! Grandiose dates!) hit me like a bus. I know this isn’t me. I’m not this resentful, ungrateful person I fear I’m becoming. I know I’ll be coming back to this video in the year to come. Thank you for the push towards a more authentic way of living.
WOW this comment >>> this is SO incredibly helpful, thank you so much! Ugh I can relate so much and I know by the time you come back you'll be back to yourself and thriving! The awareness was the hardest, yet most rewarding part 🙏🤍🤍
I am in the UK. I am currently signed off sick by mu doctor, because I had a panic attack, triggered by my job as an accountant. I am ready to leave. I am still signed off and I do not want to go back. I am so fearful of the future
I heard working in finance is terrible. I know a few accountants that had to quit because they had severe mental health issues from working the industry
@@carlysheree3130 the demands are insane. And it never seems to be enough. They n3ver want to you to be content with just coming in and doing what it is you are paid to do.
I've heard so many stories like this from friends and others! It's so not worth your mental health 😩 we deserve balance however that looks! I know it's challenging right now but I believe in you! Let me know if I can help in any way.
This is all spot on for what I'm going through right now but I live in LA with insane cost of living and no partner . I am doing what I can to make moves towards something different but I'm miserable!! I just don't know how to escape and be able to pay my bills
Ah I feel you girl! When I left I was in a similar situation, granted it wasn't LA so you are a warrior but I have some thoughts on ways you can do both. Send me an email and we can explore some options!
I handed my resignation today, the environment is toxic and draining. The issue now is that I said I got a remote job with some company, because I got nervous about saying the real reason why I'm leaving. Now my family is on my case about what I'll say to my next employer when they ask for references. And, I have the stress of the lie I must keep for the next 4 weeks , HELP 😅
Omg! I just want to congratulate you on doing something so brave and choosing yourself 🤍 it's not an easy thing to do! It's totally human and natural especially when everyone's expecting certainty from you when you're probably the most uncertain. If you're comfortable, being honest with them might relieve that pressure, it really did for me (no matter how embarrassing it was at the time)! Another option, you could always say the remote job didn't work out? 🤣
@ifycadeau Thank you. It wasn't an easy decision to make, but it had to be done. The anxiety, depression and illnesses are not worth it. It was now becoming unbearable, and I just couldn't take it anymore, not worth it at all. As for the "new job" 😄, I'll think of something to say, lol.
Talking about values, I totally understand you. I was going to choose accounting as my major but the I had a conversation with myself where I realized that I didn’t have the same values as the people that were choosing accounting as their major. I wanted freedom, creativity, entrepreneurship. I don’t care about climbing the corporate ladder or toxic work culture and those were the factors that led me to choose supply chain and marketing. I still had to get a degree that I knew would land me a good job while I worked on my dreams and so far this field has been good to me.
So so smart of you to think of the intention first! Great choice, i love that for you! ✨🥰 I'm so curious, which field did you end up working in/what's the role like?? It was so hard for me at the time to find a blend of the two!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I left my corporate Job 3 weeks ago and started my Cece and Faith TH-cam channel. One of the bravest things I've ever done. I needed some encouragement and confirmation and bumped into your channel! I am a subscriber now and I am rooting for your continued success! Maybe in the future when I get more skin in the game you'll find me worthy of a collab! Thank you again !!!
Of course!! 🥹🤍 I'm soo glad it could be helpful in such crazy time and CONGRATS on doing something so brave-right back at you. You're not alone! It's crazy how much even a year of effort can go, so keep going you so got this!!
From what I can remember, I think I left it all pretty generic in the formal letter ("leaving to explore other opportunities", etc.) but I had an additional meeting with my manager and explained how I was feeling
21:27 “When you know you’re in the wrong place that is the only way you can make progress to get out of it.” That encapsulates exactly how I feel with my current corporate job, Once I finish School in October i’m leaving and joining a trade union or something entirely different and more fulfilling.
Ah! 🤍 If your journey is anything like mine, this is going to be such a beautiful time ✨🥹 So happy for you and congrats on taking this leap, it's going to be so worth it. Rooting for you bestie!!
This makes me so happy!! You're so welcome. 🤍 I know the feeling all to well and know you're not alone! I'm trying to put some of us together a community who feel similarly, let me know if you're interested! (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
Thank you! I watched this video, rewind, journaled & shed a few tears. I’m trying to figure out my “what’s next” and everything you mentioned just really resonates with me so this video & your words were really powerful & helpful. Hitting subscribe & wishing you ALL the best. 🥰
Omg! That makes me sooo happy. 🥹🤍 Love that i can be helpful in any way! I'm actually setting up some guidance coaching for a few friends on this, let me know if you'd be interested. So happy you're here!! (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
I'm blessed to have found this video it is Divine Direction 🙏🏽.. my inner critic was almost winning today God forbid !! that it's only corporate that will make me successful at 34 years old as a wife and a mom??? when in the actual sense it has never worked for me my Values don't align with my career freedom and authenticity especially.
Ah! 💕 I'm so glad this resonated! It can be so hard but also so liberating when you finally let yourself be who you are. Wishing you all the best in your journey!!
What have you found other than Corporate? I'm also 34, a mom and wife and so ready to quit Corporate but I dont have another plan and we don't have enough savings at the moment. I'm so over my job!
Just amazing you brought yourself through this. If I can say anything in relation to your story I’ll say TWINSYS!! Lmao, only difference is I’m working my way out and my coworkers are the most difficult aspect of the job. I love the actual work I do otherwise. But working with these folks and everything I’ve been through working for others has been exceptionally difficult and a burden. So, just stopping by to thank you for sharing and resilience. And I’m not kidding 👯♀️ lol So stressful 😣 ❤ but I trust it will be fine. I also found comfort in hearing you say that in your video!
Aw thank you so much! I'm so lucky to have gotten nudges from my fiancé and I think signs from the universe haha I was TERRIFIED at first but it was so worth it. And hahah omg! noo that sucks :( the people are supposed to make it better but on the flip side, finding work you love is also hard so it's nice that you're getting to make impact in a space you enjoy! Of course, it's my pleasure! Makes me so happy that this video can help in anyway 🤍🤍
I have a full time corporate job. One that I worked towards throughout my whole nursing career. But I’m not happy. I feel a void. It feels like I’m a robot. Not a human. Co workers act like everything is fine and never be real and mention when they actually are stressed. The fakeness kills me. I am now considering quitting and oddly I like have 2 different style jobs. One nursing and one other so 2 part times but then with part time you don’t get good benefits so I am debating
Thank you for sharing your journey, it's perfect timing for me. It's time for me to trust my intuition as well, I know God has something better for me. Bless you! 🙂

I am so miserable at my job 🤦🏽♀️
I KNOW the feeling :( it can make you feel so helpless but it's not forever and there's a light at the end of the tunnel
Me tooo 🙂↕️🙂↕️😢😢😢😢
I received a warning from HR cause I made some mistakes.. I Come late to work...and I work from home very often and it's Not acceptable 😢😢😢😢😢
I don't know what to do
I'm sorry 💔 find your peace
Me too 😢💔 I just want to make art
Ah mate, you absolutely can do something about it. It's scary when you first think about it, but then when you start to look for solutions, you all of a sudden find them. It makes me really sad to see that you're doing something like that, that you absolutely don't like doing, as I'm sure you have experiences and skills that you can draw on to be happy and in control of your future.
I almost never leave comments on anything but I just wanted you to know how impactful your story is. For someone who is where you were three years ago, I could relate to EVERY item on your list.
Keep doing what you love because you are right - you were meant to do this and even if it is difficult at times you are fulfilling your calling and inspiring people like me who are still in that dark place and looking for the courage to follow my intuition
:') thank you SO much! this means a lot and gives me confidence to keep GOING!! I reallt appreciate you taking the time to leave this message and I know you will find your way out 🤍🤍 nothing lasts forever and everything is leading you to the next step!!
This sadly applies event in Non-Profits , so called "passion work" can be highly exploitative and draining
Facts!
This is the one.
omg I've heard this too!!
I worked at a couple non profits as well and decided to volunteer instead.
Same!! Being a therapist in community mental health is the worst!!
I am on the verge of resigning with no plan a, b or c because I am exhausted in every area. I watched almost all the videos on TH-cam of people leaving corporate and I can't wait for the day I can finally go and still finance myself.
I've been there! :'( I honestly think the best thing I did was just go without trying to stay and prepare *because* I was so mentally drained. For me personally it was so hard to think clearly and the moment I left, it was so much easier to plan. Lmk if you need a sounding board! Happy to help!
GIRL. I left corporate back in April and transitioned to working as a cocktail waitress at a nightclub. While I make less money, my happiness and sense of freedom have increased exponentially. Also, all of my "signs" I needed to quit were the same as yours, especially the point about not caring about the work. Toward the end I realized that I wanted anything but the job of my managers and I knew that climbing the corporate ladder wasn't for me.
I love this so much. I just left my corporate data analyst job to be an office aide at an elementary school 😂 also took a HUGE pay cut but i am SO much happier 😅
The last time I was genuinely happy I had a simple job.
That sounds like such a breath of fresh air! I love that for you 🥹 It's funny how happiness can be so much less complicated than we make it! keep thriving!!
When I left I did some jobs like this and it was so relaxing 😂 perfect break I needed!
!!!
When you become someone you don’t even recognize ❤✨
GIRL, this was the scariest part!! I feel so much more like myself now :') I'm putting some material together for this cause it's so much more common than I realized! You might like it. Let me know if you're interested (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com).
I recently quit my job!! Best decision ever.
YOU GO GIRL!!
Thank you for this. My corporate job has got me wishing I was dead. I am so deeply unhappy and depressed I don’t even recognize myself anymore. It’s awful. 😞 I know I need to quit.
Yeah love it’s time to pivot. Your life is more than a job 🩷
Make a plan to leave. I left a job I loved. I made a plan before I left. I transferred to another location. See if you can be a substitute teacher until you find something else.
Quit!!!
I totally understand. I felt the same as you. I resigned effective immediately on Monday. Is it scary yes. But I didn’t like the alternative. My mental health had to be put first. I looked at how long my money would last me and I left.
I’m sorry. I’m in the same situation. 😢
I’ve worked in corporate America since the 80’s, back then it was the type of job to have because of stability, pay, and benefits. Somewhere around the mid 2000’s I noticed a shift, companies started losing loyalty to their employees and let them know just how dispensable they are. After going through a lay off and trying a lesser paying job, I went back to corporate America, in a healthcare profession. Thank goodness I’m retiring next year! Corporate America is so bad these days, toxic management, micromanaging, favoritism, backstabbing, and to top it off I work with patients settling their hospital bills, and over 50% are hateful, condescending, mean, and often resort to name calling. I’m counting down the days I can put this job behind me. It has definitely prepared me for a future venture as I plan to work a part time side hustle in retirement. I enjoy work, but I want to enjoy what I do, not constantly look at the lock all day until I can get off work. I enjoy watching videos like these where people leave their job, and focus on themselves.
Omg, thank you for sharing your story, sooo insightful! That's crazy how bad it's gotten and I'm so happy for you to be free and do your own thing ✨🤍 It's such a liberating feeling. I appreciate your kind words, it's genuinely my pleasure!!
I talked to a Lyft driver and he said something similar. He said he noticed a change in the 90’s. My mom started tech in the early 2000’s at 24 and said it got worse as time went on. I started two months shy of turning 23 and constantly feel like I’m suffocating. When I tell her about stuff I encounter, she said it’s much different to how she was treated just starting in her career. Idk, she feels that younger people are being treated much harsher now and that the expectations are even worse for someone who is less experienced. Of course, that’s how it is for majority of people no matter what age. I’m 25 now and have considered maybe becoming a massage therapist instead. I’m not sure, yet. I’m just not able to kiss ass very well, haha.
I never related more to a video 😢 ….thanks for sharing!!
omg of course!! I'm so glad 🫶🫶 it can be so lonely sometimes!
I don’t think work is supposed to cause pain and suffering. We have normalized it but it is not ok. We work to live and build. We aren’t supposed to live just to work.
It's not! I couldn't agree more!! 👏🏾👏🏾 my theory is that we need to find work that uniquely matches us and energizes rather than drains.
@@ifycadeau 💥 Boom. Exactly!!
I absolutely agree!❤@@ifycadeau
Absolutely agree - but the environment that we live in trains us to be okay, and to give up control and fulfilment for our future, in exchange for a "safe" income.
@@MartinPlattFreedomSuccessCoach I think about that a lot. It’s hard not to believe that we aren’t modern slaves. We get paid but at what cost? And sometimes below a livable wage :(
I feel much of this. Instead of anger and jealousy, I feel inspired when I see others making a sustainable living doing what they love. Since 2010, I have taught myself photography, how to sew, I have earned a bachelor's then an MBA, got a good job in HR, like I planned. But I am overworked, stressed out, and anxious with my HR job. I dream of a creative career and being self-employed. So I have been setting myself up to open an Etsy shop making baby goods. And I also plan to rebrand my photography business... hopefully by the end of this year.
Omg that's amazing!! Share your Etsy, I'd love to share when I can :) I'm wishing you all the best and with those skills and initiative, I'm sure you'll get exactly where you plan!!
The ESCAPISM omg I didn’t realize that’s what I was doing! I’ve always had sort of an adventurous mindset and I love being out in nature but recently I’ve been wanting to do something new and adventurous (I’m talking road trips, hiking, etc) EVERY WEEKEND. Because I don’t have time to do anything during the week and I feel like I’m missing out!!
AHH I know this feeling!! I used to PACK my weekends to the brim just to cope, insane! Now I have a healthy balance with all of those passions and interests because I'm not living in scarcity/desperation. It feels healthier!
I'm putting some material together for this cause it's so much more common than I realized! You might like it. Let me know if you're interested (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com).
I have mastered boundaries so much so that I corporate can’t break me however there is the other aspect of being let go because you won’t kiss ass, they don’t like you because you set boundaries etc
That is the part I have dealt with constantly
At this point I give up
I have to work for myself 😂
1000% it's like you're always on your toes... I came to the exact same conclusion 😂 I'm thinking of creating a guide/roadmap for people who want to switch into working for themselves, let me know if you're interested! (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
Same. People who came after me are getting promotions and increases, simply because they play the and brown nose.
I don’t care about any of this
This was soooo spot on to my experiences. Started off in corporate STRONG everyone knew my name, I’m getting compliments, hand written letters from the regional supervisor, the works. But slowly and surely my mental health just deteriorated. I jump from job to job. Get in fights with my boyfriend for not having an exciting enough weekend. No envy or desire to be in any of my higher ups position. Not knowing myself because of all the masks. All of it. I didn’t make the decision to leave, I kept bouncing from job to job telling myself “just give it a year and then we’ll do this.” But either the universe stepped in or my depression got the best of me and I ended up getting fired. Now I’m forced to do what I’ve always been meaning to do 🤞🏾
OMG the way I like time traveled reading this!! Ah, I know the feeling girl. 😭🙌🏾 Sometimes these crazy events show us what we've been needing all this time. So excited for your new journey, you're gonna kill it.
I'm looking to put together a community of people who have left/are leaving and I feel like you'd be a great example! Let me know if you're interested! (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
I am so miserable working, my body is exhausted my eyes are sunken in from stress. This motivated me. Thank you
I remember the feeling 😩 it's insane how much of a physical toll it takes on your body. I'm SO happy this could help in any way!
I can't believe everything you said was my exact experience. I quit a 6 figure job las week. I'm terrified but I was becoming a shell of a person.
I’m curious. To make such a move do you have a spouse to support you in the meantime? Do you have a plan? Or just winging it?
I quit my six figure job on Monday. I too did not like who I was becoming. It is absolutely terrifying but a choice had to be made.
omg girl, congratulations!! that's a huge milestone 🤍🫶🏾 I'm still in shock I wasn't alone in this! I'm dying to hear your story, pls let's connect (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com).
Such a good question!! I'm trying to get a bunch of us together so we share these details with each other, it's so helpful to know the options. Lmk if you want in (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com) 🤍
I totalllyy feel you! I did this (again) last year and I will tell you the person you become after liberating yourself is so worth it 🥹 congrats girl! I'd love to hear your story too, feel free to connect (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com).
Believe me it’s not just corporate. As an Air Traffic Controller I’m struggling with this every single damn day and it sucks.
omg :'( it's everywhere! I would have never thought!
Yep! I was a teacher and it was the most toxic profession I've ever been in
We need to implement 3 day weekends. CEO and corporations are earning more than ever while the working class is more strained than ever.
Yeah! I was just going to say I work in the public sector and so much of this is resonating. And I left corporate to come here 😭
“I can do anything but should you do everything?” Explains so much
Girl, I love this… I can relate to this. We are wasting our lives away at these jobs and it’s so depressing.
YES! Thank you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 It literally feels like an epidemic to me! So many young and/or ambitious people just not creating what they could because they're exhausted and drained, it's so saddening.
This video legitimately changed my life
Stop...I'm gonna cry 🥹🤍🫶🏾 this makes my whole life! Makes me so happy!! I can't wait to see what you do bestie!
I tried corporate as well and knew immediately our values didn't aligned. I knew I wanted to work in public service. It still took me 15 years of trying different careers and organizations to find the best fit. There's no such thing as "one size fits all" in life and what works for one may not work for another. Wishing everyone the best of luck!
Totally agree!! Life is about experimenting and exploring which can be the scary, but eventually rewarding part. So cool to have people like you going after it, congrats on finding your way.
Watching this now and I honestly am really close to quitting my job, but I’m just waiting until my lease is up so I can move back home and not worry about rent. Currently working in IT just overwhelmed, not caring about the work, not wanting to progress in this or grow at all. The only time I was genuinely happy was when I was a barista so really want to go back to that honestly
Totally fair! I find any preparation over no preparation gets you closer to that freedom 🤍 completely get you! It's so good to remember or notice moments when you feel more aligned/at peace/joyful because they're such big clues into what better alternatives are!
The thing that a lot of people don't realize is that a job is a big part of your life. It's not "just a job." Or "I do what I love outside of work" It really doesn't work that wat
For some people it does
But definitely not for everyone
It does work like that
I think a lot of people do realize this? Both things can be true, someone can spend a lot of time at their job and have other priorities and lives outside of work
No, it doesn't. The original comment is correct.
I feel similarly! Like while you can always do what you love on your "free time", it's never made 100% sense why I couldn't do what I love for *mos*t of my time. Sure it's harder to craft but so much more worth it because to you point, work take up most of our life and emphasis on OUR life, not our companies. Love this take!
“Never any time to get any work done, always in meetings” this is soooo true
"Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure."
Anthony Robbins
Nobody enjoys a life of constant frustration, limitation, dissatisfaction and quiet resignation.
“That voice is your future self telling you what to do” WOW THANK YOU
!!! girl it's getting more true the older I get haha you're SO welcome 🫶🏾🤍 thank you for being here!
It’s been four years but being an entrepreneur and focusing on my brand has its ups and down and still pushing
Thank you for this insightful content 😊
OMG same!! we're in this together! Ofc 🤍🤍🤍
I 100% agree and as a result, I quit my job and the country that I live and work in. I didn't want to apply for another job and DIDN'T. The thought of running out of my current job into another potentially uncomfortable environment filled me with dread. I have a matter of weeks before I leave and go on a productive health sabbatical to try and make my dreams work. If all else fails, we can always go back to working for someone ~ but on our terms. Good luck.
OMG YES, I couldn't relate or agree more! That's exactly the mindset I had and ever since I've only found more reasons to keep pushing for my dreams 💕 Such a beautiful story and message. I'm wishing you all the best in your next chapter!!
After finishing my degree , I thought that I’d reach new horizons. Boy oh boy, was I in for a rude awakening when I started working in corporate America office settings. Racism, micro aggressions, YT mean girl groups , rumors, gossip, you name it etc. I’m slowly starting to realize that I don’t have a dream job and my goal is to be self sufficient and leave corporate America as well.
Omg that's horrible! I'm so sorry you had to go through this :( Yesss! I always say let's create our dream lives and the "job" will become obvious. That's also my dream to be financially independent and make a living doing what I love/also serves my community!
sometimes it's not corporate. many times it's just not being aligned to a role that suits you
100%! I wish someone told me that too, pick jobs from alignment and interest rather than a paycheck. As I've switched into entrepreneurship, I've seen that this lifestyle is suitable for me but I think someone can def find alignment in companies if they're intentional about it. :)
@@ifycadeau sometimes you bump into roles that sound very interesting and once you’re in it, you find out you don’t really like it as much. That happens too. And then other times you hear of all these other roles that none of them sound appealing at all!! Lol….. it’s tough trying to figure it out.
I am sitting here choking back tears, it's a very cold rainy Sunday and I am at work, people calling all the time barking orders, all I can think is, if I can get out of here before the sun goes down I can see my chickens and garden. and I just don't know how to get out...but you've given me a little more clarity
Melanie! :'( This makes me want to cry because I remember that feeling all too well. Life is too short for you to not enjoy YOUR own precious time (with your chickens, garden, and whatever else). I promise you if you make the intention and plan to find another way, you will. 🤍 Let me know if you need any help! I'm creating some resources around planning & community.
I love internet for being able to find creators like you who give me so many cool things to think about. I'm constantly amazed that this thoughts are new to me, even though I heard some other version of them that didn't resonate with me. I like how you described jealousy as not a negative thing, but rather an inspiration. And I also see how I just plainly don't like what I'm currently doing. Or maybe I like it, but not in the current setting. I'm feeling privileged to have a job that pays and in the same time I'm afraid of not being grateful - I'm worried that in general I'm not able to feel good in any job.
Thank you for this video.
ME TOO! It's so good for knowledge sharing🤍✨ I'm so glad this could help see things in a light, that's my favorite! I felt the same way at the time which made it feel so tricky but after leaving and exploring opportunities that didn't just give me a paycheck, but more of a purpose it was so clear I was thinking too small. We often don't feel worthy to have an aligned career that pays well which is so funny because just the thought/idea of that IS the the things that's keeping us from it. You're SO welcome, let me know if you have any questions!
Sadly I have no choice. I am miserable at work but I don’t have any other real skills. I think I would be even more miserable if I was unemployed.
Your job hired you for a reason! Sometimes we forget how valuable our skills are because we're so used to them-a lot of times it just takes being in environments where you see how the things we find basic are really helpful to others. I never realized I could get paid to do social media until I explored! If you ever need a sounding board, here to help. 🫶🏾
I really needed to hear this. I am definitely at this point and I need to leave. I am just scared of the unknown and being jobless forever if I quit with no plan. Lol
I love these kinds of videos but quitting a job without anything lined up is irresponsible unless you have a spouse to support you. Have a plan and make certain you can cover all your bills for at least a year.
Ah, so glad it could be helpful! 🥹🫶🏾 yes so so valid, I'm actually working on a roadmap for this exact concern (money/survival after quitting). Lmk if you're interested (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)!
It definitely can be! I'm glad I left when I did, it almost unlocked a new version of me even professionally-but now in hindsight, I have a better picture of how you can do this a bit more strategically!
I just quitted my job - the most toxic place and people I’ve ever worked with, without any backup plan and little money to last for 2 months and on top of it, mortgage. But I don’t regret a bit. Recalling times when I was alone being at home, while working at this job, I sobbed and I knew I needed to get out of here. Right now, I’m in early stage of a job search. I used to know how to do this thing, how to position myself in the job market, etc. But now I just don’t give a damn about these corporate jobs anymore. With the fake job posts just to keep employer branding, toxic environment, all talk with little work done, etc. I don’t feel like making values or using my specialty to creating values when I’m in a corporate position. I am deciding to quit the corporate life for good and start my pet accessories business right in the middle of the confusing, messy time now. But strangely I feel right with this decision. I’m a millennial btw, always felt out of place with corporate life since I had my first job in Marketing, then transitioned to HR and it gets uglier. 😅 When it’s enough, you know. This is the sign.
This spoke to my soul, wow. Thank you for being vulnerable and letting folks know in a similar situation that they're not alone
Ahh omg, that makes me so happy 🥹 Of course, it's literally my pleasure. I've been hearing so many similar stories about this it's crazy-I'm putting something together I think might help. Feel free to reach out if you're interested! (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
I’ve worked at my job for yrs, it wasn’t always bad, but now it’s so draining, unfulfilling, and overall dreadful. It’s all I can do to make myself go to work, I’ve realized it’s very much effecting my mental health. Finding a position/that works with my kids schedules is the sole reason i haven’t left. Very inspiring video, thank you!
I'm so sorry and I'm hoping you can find some alignment or another role that is suitable for your schedule/happiness. 🤍🤍 I think overtime it can wear on you and the inefficiencies become more obvious!
Thank you Ife. You really helped me accept what my soul has been trying to tell me for my entire corporate career now
🥹🥹 crying!! I feel honored to be a part of that process and wish you all the best! It's crazy how many of us feel like this and I want to put something together to help with that whole process. If you're interested in it, feel free to reach out (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)! You've got this!!
I'm sending this video to my friends because it is exactly what I'm going through and how I feel. Verbatim!!!! I don't have to explain it...I can just have them watch this. WOW...One for word what I feel.
WOW! First off, honored 🙌🏾 Second, I know the feeling of not being able to articulate/express this so I'm so happy it can validate your feelings. You're not alone!
I literally sitting at my work desk (just got in a minute ago) and watching this. I feel this deep!
I hate my job in corporate real estate and it’s draining my soul! Listening and dealing with entitled landlords all day and under constant changes and pressure! I miss healthcare industry
I remember feeling like this almost every day, constantly frustrated and drained from every activity. It's so crazy how a change of environment/activities can literally reverse this! Maybe it's worth exploring some options in healthcare. Wishing you all the best
I have been in strong consideration of leaving my job for several months now and that voice inside has continued to grow stronger. I lost my father in August of 2023 and loss like that has instantly made me want to simplify my life and/or replace everything that doesn't serve me. I came across this video yesterday and believe it is the last catalyst I needed to make the jump. No concrete plan, but a whole lot of faith in who I am and what I bring in value wherever I go. Thank you for the encouragement and transparency shared. Continued blessings!
I'm so sorry to hear that! ❤ That is totally understandable and such a powerful message. I'm so honored to be a part of that catalyst and wish you all the best, that's exactly the mindset you need. You're so welcome, you've got this!!
This! The death of those closest to you will put your entire existence into perspective. I lost both of my grandmothers within a month. I was laid off from my job a month before they passed. And just like that, the fear of losing my job came true yet again. I went through a depression after all these life changes and I’m finally on the other side of it. I recently began working at a retail store and while I know this could be temporary if I choose, and I could hop right back on the corporate ladder, I don’t think I have any fight in me left. I no longer have the passion to fight for roles I have to force myself into. I just want to exist. I want to be healthy and happy and take care of my children. Corporate is not for creatives, I don’t think I’m going back.
Thank you for this. 🙏 I just quit my job in real estate and I don't know what's next but I'm very comforted to know there are like-minded people out there and I'm not alone.
you are definitely not alone! wishing you the best 💕 you're gonna kill it!
I’m a property manager in real estate- I have never come across a more draining soulless industry like real estate. Glad you have quit that awful industry. Every day I show up to work a little piece of me dies inside. I want to follow my passion and be an occupational therapist
“Math, science, ass kissing” as an audhd girlie that sounds like absolute fucking hell to me. I’ve never done corporate and never will but I’m watching this bc I’m thinking of dropping my current path to pursue my hearts calling and it’s scary
I definitely learned A LOT there but it was more about learning myself and what I like/what I don't that was the most valuable + some best practices on working in teams/communication. But yeah a lot of it didn't align and parts of me wish I started what I'm doing now, sooner so kudos to you girl! As long as you stay dedicated and true to your calling, you'll be absolutely golden. 🤍🤍🫶🏾 wishing you all the best!
Wow the timing of this!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 new subscriber here. Thank you for sharing this.
Ahh so glad it could be helpfull!🤍🤍 of course, thank you for being here!
Thanks so much for this video, hopefully this gives me courage to quit my corporate job and do what I really love!
Ah! That makes me so happy 🤍🙌🏾 wishing you all the best, lmk if there's anything I can do to help! Excited for you!
I’m quitting this Friday. I should be nervous but it’s the right time for me to do this
I am quitting this Friday too, woohoo! 😊
@@anri101 yesss! When it’s the right time you feel the weight lifted immediately
ahh!! got goosebumps, so happy for you 🥹🥰🫶🏾
you're going to do amazing!! happy for you!
shew... I am hearing you and I appreciate you sharing this!
I work in a small business, in wealth management and I got all my credentials and ever since then, I've hit such a wall! I'm not stressed by any means. I'm bored and I've discovered that I literally don't care to do anything more here. I don't want to leave just to find another similar job where I'm bored in 6 months. also, I can't do the ass-kissing that's required in interviews. I just have no idea what else I can do, but I've committed to spending this next year to figure it out! I'm tired of my own excuses keeping me small, lol.
You're so welcome!! 🤍🤍 omg yess the boredom gets realll and it's shame that it extends to everything else and makes you forget your passions/purpose. I love that you're taking time for exploration, that's KEY. Not enough people take the time).
I'm starting a small coaching program that helps with this exactly (mapping out your next steps). Lmk if you're interested, it sounds like you might like it!
I relate so much!! I studied accounting for stability which is great but also soul sucking and I hate how zoned out I feel constantly 😅
Omg yess 'studying for stability', relate so hard! 😂😂 That's always how I felt and it was sad cause I didn't know there was any other option, but there SO is!!
This is me right now! I studied accounting too and currently in school for my masters, working in finance for a government defense company that so many see as prestigious, on my second week of my new job and I feel like i will never be truly happy working inside of a cubicle 4 days a week and 10 hours a day. I envy people who get to work for themselves and be outside and feel the sun on their skin.
@@jasforchristhey but on the bright side you get 3 day weekends it sounds like!!
@@hydrangeakitchen9685haha yeah that makes up for it but I really would much rather build a plane now if they told me to build one 😂
I would also suggest you interview people to share their corporate experience and I don’t mind being interview 😊
Actually I've been thinking a lot about this lately, sort of a community for all of us where we could share our stories with each other. If you're interested, I'd love to have you in (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com).
@@ifycadeau alright sis will definitely email you so sweet 😊
Most of us including me are doing these 9 to 5 to conform and above all because we don`t have a clue how to pay our bills without clocking in .
yes exactly!! no one talks about this and how to leave safely-I've been working on some resources I think can help with the finances and budgeting aspect as well as planning. Let me know if you're interested, I'd love some testers!
You are a very intuitive soul. You are so smart and honest with yourself which is SOOOOOO RARE!!!
Love this video. Describes everything exactly how I feel. I also work in sales so I find that in corporate many sales people cheat and management will always turn a blind eye on it as it makes them money and helps hitting targets. Those who are not so lucky and not cheat don't make their targets and then are put on even extra pressure. The whole system is just so bad.
That's awful! I can only imagine... I'm glad this video could help in any way! Wishing you all💕💕
wow this was amazing!! Your talk was so easy to listen to and still very positive!! thanks for inspiring me☺
Omg yay!! That makes me so happy, exactly what I'd hope it'd be so thank you so much for the feedback! Of course 🙌🙌🤍
I can relate. Is why I am studying to translate and interpret in 3 languages , starting content creation soon, maybe real estate and getting my accounting degree to start my own practice. Working at these places and orientations, etc are all just plain boring and rediculous. Making low pay and doing things you dont care about feels like death . I say if you can take a leap of faith and listen to that voice just do it. Its the life you have to live so do what you want,.
PREACH! 👏 couldn't agree more!! wishing you all the best in your ventures!
Oh my gosh! This relates so much to me!
Everything you said!
Staying up and doing nothing and waking up feeling fried!
This video was so validating!
I still have flashbacks to those times too omg 😭😭 it was the worst! Ah, so so glad!! 💕
❤❤❤ so happy I came across this video. Thanks for sharing your experience. Corporate jobs suck the life out of you. 🙏🙏🙏
Sooo so happy you're here! 🥰🫶🏾 It's my pleasure! I know they can def be draining, especially if it's not the right role/company. I made that mistake but it's taught me so much about finding aligned work!
I wish. I cannot AFFORD to leave. I don't have anyone who can support me. It's me and my bills.
I feel this. I’m stuck too
I felt the same! 🤍 In hindsight I feel actually grateful for those constraints because it helped me get creative/try ways to make money I'd never tried before because I had to fully support myself with no crutch.
If you tap into your creativity + open your mind to resources you've never considered (peers, mentors, family, organizations, websites, savings, etc.), sometimes the options are right under your nose!
It can feel very limiting for sure! Just remember there's always a way and always another option/choice (sometimes less than ideal, but worth it in the long run). 💕 We're never *truly* stuck!
20:25: and I paraphrase: 'I don't need all those things and you don't need all those things to keep you happy if you're fulfilled and happy with what you're doing...". A BIG AMEN
YES YES YES, thank you pointing this part out! It's one of my favorite lessons 🤍 4 years later and it still rings soo true!
I subscribed... I'm gonna quit soon. After my stocks vest 🙈
aw omg so happy to have you here!! 🤍 omg smart I should been that proactive!
Thankyou so much for sharing your own story. This can help so many people to take that bold step in order to make their lives more meaningful ✨
Of course, it's literally my pleasure!! So glad it's helpful. 🥹🥹✨ I'm coming up with something I think could be a bit more practical and helpful for the process too, lmk if you're interested! (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
This video came up on my feed and i clicked. This is not my story about wanting to leave corporate BUT CAN I TELL YOU YOUR WORDS HAS INSPIRED ME NONETHELESS!!!!
Amazing🎉
To thine own self be TRUE💟
AH YAYY! So happy it could resonate 🥰🫶🏾 thanks for being here!!
Thank you for sharing your story!Corporate is typically an unnatural and ungodly environment. Feel free to check out my story. I now make skits about corporate bs. You were VERY wise for quitting. I wasn't brave enough and ended up getting fired in 2020 for staying un a toxic workplace environment, go figure. Much success and blessings to you!🎉
Omg! Have to check it out 😂 Added some to my watch later haha. That's so validating to hear! I def felt so unwise at the time so I'm glad I listened and glad you got out eventually 💕 you too!!
Values, exactly this is a big struggle for me, my job is no way lines up with my values. It mentally drains me.
It's huge! While your values can show you what you don't want, they can also show you what you do want/what will make you happier. This can even be slight tweaks in your schedule or job completely. Wishing you all the best! Lmk if there's anything I can do to help.
Thank you so so so much for sharing your story. This hit home for me too earlier this year, and everything you shared about what you experienced in the corporate setting rang true for me too. Congratulations on taking this journey into the unknown and sharing your experience with us! It gives me courage to take a leap of faith with my content creation journey too. ❤
Of course! It's my pleasure. 🤍🫶🏾 Thank you so much, this literally makes all of it worth it! Absolutely love that and SO excited for you, it's gonna be amazing! Lmk if you ever have questions, rooting for ya
THIS IS ME RIGHT NOW, AS AN EDUCATOR!!! I'm done. I'm tired; I desire more. I planned today to have a 2-week notice prewritten and then head to his office and tactfully communicate; this is it.✌️🏾
So proud of you!! 🥹🤍 your future self is going to thank you! how did it go??
Thank you for this video, it’s how I can relate to almost everything.
You're so welcome, I know how stressful it can be!! 😫 Due to everyone's response I'm actually putting together a guide I think might help, you might like it! Feel free to reach out if you're interested. (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
The Elders gave advice: Worry Less. Take more risks. Leave something beautiful on earth. I suggest you work part time and find the love of your life. Your passion. Open that door. Settle on spending less. Everyone is spending less. Inflation. In this time, keep your shelter, food, gas, meds and enjoy time creating yourself and new ideas. Time to settle and think about who you really are and what you really want in life. Set goals. "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. God Bless.
THIS
We can ice stake on the moon next year 😂
hahaha YAAY 🫶🫶🫶
you did an amazing job articulating all these feelings. thank you. I’m a new subscriber!
Ahh so happy to have you here! So glad!!
Thank you so much for making a video like this! I’ve been searching for a video that’s relatable to my situation right now and this is 100% my story. I’m currently in the process of pivoting my next move, so this gave me hope that I’m not alone in how I feel. Especially as a black women. Corporate is not easy mental and it takes a lot of stripping from your authentic self to fit in with the “culture.” I was so much more fulfilled when I was helping ppl being a CNA,
wowow! so validating to hear and makes me so glad it could help you feel less alone 💕 it can be such a hard thing to navigate let alone when it feels like just you! wishing you all the best in your pivot, I can tell it's gonna be good for you!!
This completely resonates with me. Everything you are explaining of your experience is exactly what Im feeling and going through. Im just trying to figure out my next step.
Ah! So glad it could help in any way. 🤍🤍✨ With a little planning and action, it's a little easier to see a path especially when in the beginning when it's so fuzzy and unclear. I've been helping some viewers with this 1:1 and they seem to really like it! Let me know if you need some help!
Thank you ♥️
I can relate to everything you said.
You have a new subscriber :) let’s create momentum
LOVE this! Love you! Let's do it 👏🏾✨👯♀️
Honestly such great advice. Thank you so much. I'm thinking about doing the same in the restaurant industry since I've become someone entirely different, mean and judgmental; I'm literally someone I can't even recognize and it's scary!
Ah! I felt the same way, it was like the worst version of me. 😫 I'm putting together an offering around this bc soo many people relate and could use help with the next steps, lmk if you're interested (💌: ioastudios.content@gmail.com.)
Thank you so much for creating and sharing this video. I feel the same way on just about everything. I didn’t notice how miserable I looked until it was pointed out to me a few months ago. I have decided to choose me instead of fear, judgement and stress. Thank you for your courage and I am sending so much love to everyone experiencing a challenging time. You can handle this!
Ah! You've got this! 🙌🤍 You're so welcome! Even through all the fear and uncertainty, I've never regretted choosing me, my happiness and my peace. I have a feeling you won't either. So happy this video could help in anyway, I'm rooting for you!!
I feel so much of this. God gives us all that intuition for this reason. Our free will puts makes us question it. It puts fear in our hearts and minds. But the gift of our intuition is always leading us to the answer. That’s what faith is. Believing in that nudge even when you don’t know what you’ll do next. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s the reminder I needed to hear today.
Your vulnerability, courage, and transparency is so inspiring.
You articulated so clearly what I’ve been feeling but have been afraid to admit to myself. The part about needing extreme forms of escapism (vacations! Grandiose dates!) hit me like a bus.
I know this isn’t me. I’m not this resentful, ungrateful person I fear I’m becoming.
I know I’ll be coming back to this video in the year to come. Thank you for the push towards a more authentic way of living.
WOW this comment >>> this is SO incredibly helpful, thank you so much! Ugh I can relate so much and I know by the time you come back you'll be back to yourself and thriving! The awareness was the hardest, yet most rewarding part 🙏🤍🤍
Yes ma’am, very insightful and relatable video, thank you love.
you're SO welcome! 🥹🫶🏾 anytime!
You're speaking directly to me here ❤ this is everything I needed to hear. Thank you!!
omg yay!! that makes me so happy :) you're so welcome and glad you found this!
I am in the UK. I am currently signed off sick by mu doctor, because I had a panic attack, triggered by my job as an accountant. I am ready to leave. I am still signed off and I do not want to go back. I am so fearful of the future
I heard working in finance is terrible. I know a few accountants that had to quit because they had severe mental health issues from working the industry
@@carlysheree3130 the demands are insane. And it never seems to be enough. They n3ver want to you to be content with just coming in and doing what it is you are paid to do.
I've heard so many stories like this from friends and others! It's so not worth your mental health 😩 we deserve balance however that looks! I know it's challenging right now but I believe in you! Let me know if I can help in any way.
same!!
Commenting to support your journey!! ❤
you're an angel! thank you so much!!
This is all spot on for what I'm going through right now but I live in LA with insane cost of living and no partner . I am doing what I can to make moves towards something different but I'm miserable!! I just don't know how to escape and be able to pay my bills
Ah I feel you girl! When I left I was in a similar situation, granted it wasn't LA so you are a warrior but I have some thoughts on ways you can do both. Send me an email and we can explore some options!
You have the best way with words, "Corporate Baddie" "Girl bossing way to close to the sun" really enjoyed it
I handed my resignation today, the environment is toxic and draining. The issue now is that I said I got a remote job with some company, because I got nervous about saying the real reason why I'm leaving. Now my family is on my case about what I'll say to my next employer when they ask for references. And, I have the stress of the lie I must keep for the next 4 weeks , HELP 😅
Omg! I just want to congratulate you on doing something so brave and choosing yourself 🤍 it's not an easy thing to do! It's totally human and natural especially when everyone's expecting certainty from you when you're probably the most uncertain.
If you're comfortable, being honest with them might relieve that pressure, it really did for me (no matter how embarrassing it was at the time)! Another option, you could always say the remote job didn't work out? 🤣
@ifycadeau Thank you. It wasn't an easy decision to make, but it had to be done. The anxiety, depression and illnesses are not worth it. It was now becoming unbearable, and I just couldn't take it anymore, not worth it at all.
As for the "new job" 😄, I'll think of something to say, lol.
Talking about values, I totally understand you. I was going to choose accounting as my major but the I had a conversation with myself where I realized that I didn’t have the same values as the people that were choosing accounting as their major. I wanted freedom, creativity, entrepreneurship. I don’t care about climbing the corporate ladder or toxic work culture and those were the factors that led me to choose supply chain and marketing. I still had to get a degree that I knew would land me a good job while I worked on my dreams and so far this field has been good to me.
So so smart of you to think of the intention first! Great choice, i love that for you! ✨🥰 I'm so curious, which field did you end up working in/what's the role like?? It was so hard for me at the time to find a blend of the two!
Your words are incredible
you are the sweetest!! thank you so much
This is so relatable! Thanks for sharing your story, I feel this 100% right now.
Of course! It can feel so isolating so glad it could help in anyway 🥹🫶 better times are coming!!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I left my corporate Job 3 weeks ago and started my Cece and Faith TH-cam channel. One of the bravest things I've ever done. I needed some encouragement and confirmation and bumped into your channel! I am a subscriber now and I am rooting for your continued success! Maybe in the future when I get more skin in the game you'll find me worthy of a collab! Thank you again !!!
Of course!! 🥹🤍 I'm soo glad it could be helpful in such crazy time and CONGRATS on doing something so brave-right back at you. You're not alone! It's crazy how much even a year of effort can go, so keep going you so got this!!
this all resonates… i keep wondering how you worded your resignation without a backup, that’s what i’m most scared of!
From what I can remember, I think I left it all pretty generic in the formal letter ("leaving to explore other opportunities", etc.) but I had an additional meeting with my manager and explained how I was feeling
21:27 “When you know you’re in the wrong place that is the only way you can make progress to get out of it.” That encapsulates exactly how I feel with my current corporate job, Once I finish School in October i’m leaving and joining a trade union or something entirely different and more fulfilling.
Ah! 🤍 If your journey is anything like mine, this is going to be such a beautiful time ✨🥹 So happy for you and congrats on taking this leap, it's going to be so worth it. Rooting for you bestie!!
This was the realest and most authentic video I’ve ever watched. Thank you for validating all my feelings and my desire to leave the rat race
This makes me so happy!! You're so welcome. 🤍 I know the feeling all to well and know you're not alone!
I'm trying to put some of us together a community who feel similarly, let me know if you're interested! (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
This totally resonates! Thanks for sharing !
Omg yayy! This makes me so happy 🥹 glad it could help in any way!
Thank you!
I watched this video, rewind, journaled & shed a few tears.
I’m trying to figure out my “what’s next” and everything you mentioned just really resonates with me so this video & your words were really powerful & helpful.
Hitting subscribe & wishing you ALL the best. 🥰
Omg! That makes me sooo happy. 🥹🤍 Love that i can be helpful in any way! I'm actually setting up some guidance coaching for a few friends on this, let me know if you'd be interested. So happy you're here!! (e: ioastudios.content@gmail.com)
I'm blessed to have found this video it is Divine Direction 🙏🏽.. my inner critic was almost winning today God forbid !! that it's only corporate that will make me successful at 34 years old as a wife and a mom??? when in the actual sense it has never worked for me my Values don't align with my career freedom and authenticity especially.
Ah! 💕 I'm so glad this resonated! It can be so hard but also so liberating when you finally let yourself be who you are. Wishing you all the best in your journey!!
What have you found other than Corporate? I'm also 34, a mom and wife and so ready to quit Corporate but I dont have another plan and we don't have enough savings at the moment. I'm so over my job!
Just amazing you brought yourself through this. If I can say anything in relation to your story I’ll say TWINSYS!! Lmao, only difference is I’m working my way out and my coworkers are the most difficult aspect of the job. I love the actual work I do otherwise. But working with these folks and everything I’ve been through working for others has been exceptionally difficult and a burden.
So, just stopping by to thank you for sharing and resilience.
And I’m not kidding 👯♀️ lol
So stressful 😣 ❤ but I trust it will be fine. I also found comfort in hearing you say that in your video!
Aw thank you so much! I'm so lucky to have gotten nudges from my fiancé and I think signs from the universe haha I was TERRIFIED at first but it was so worth it.
And hahah omg! noo that sucks :( the people are supposed to make it better but on the flip side, finding work you love is also hard so it's nice that you're getting to make impact in a space you enjoy!
Of course, it's my pleasure! Makes me so happy that this video can help in anyway 🤍🤍
I have a full time corporate job. One that I worked towards throughout my whole nursing career. But I’m not happy. I feel a void. It feels like I’m a robot. Not a human. Co workers act like everything is fine and never be real and mention when they actually are stressed. The fakeness kills me. I am now considering quitting and oddly I like have 2 different style jobs. One nursing and one other so 2 part times but then with part time you don’t get good benefits so I am debating
When you mentioned about show and tell! Yes exactly!
Thank you for sharing your journey, it's perfect timing for me. It's time for me to trust my intuition as well, I know God has something better for me. Bless you! 🙂
Amen!! I believe in you and wishing you all the best 💕 so glad it was helpful!!
Wow! The way this video hits! Thank you for sharing your story.
It's my pleasure!! 🤍 So glad it could be helpful! Let me know if you need anything or have any questions.
