Mad respect to you for saying this and standing up for yourself
Thank You sooooo much Luke.
From your biggest Australian Fan.
Best of Luck! 🤘🖤🤘
Funny enough (not really) going to have a meeting with my boss over similar situations
10,000,000 props for defending yourself. I’m genuinely serious.
Good luck brother.
Sounds like there’s a lot behind the scenes that we don’t know.
I wish you the best 🙏
Proud of you dude! I've been there, it's a crazy at times scary step, but I know you got this 🙌
I remember that! I asked about what became it of all in a comment on one of your videos but nobody knew what I was talking about
Show of hands: who feels inspired after seeing this? ✋
And who felt depressed?
@@passantNL well, I was already depressed before watching. Does that count?😂
Amazon worker here ✋
Even when you feel it every day, hearing someone else say it still makes a big difference.
@@mikethegrunty5968 lol, boom roasted
"You are worth so much more than a wage with benefits."
Bene-what?
I know, right? When I heard that bit I was like, "You guys had benefits?"
Thank you for this message. Workers need to be treated with humanity and dignity. Congrats on the MBA.
I'm not a regular viewer but I stopped in to say "hell yeah!" Glad you're able to get out of a shit environment. I wish you well, and that one day everyone reading this who feels trapped in their job is able to break free and enjoy a more fulfilling life.
Good for you man, I worked at Walmart where my boss treated me like trash and I was scared to leave due to covid, but finally I was tired of my hard work not being good enough for my boss and her trying to fire me, I just left.
I have applied at Wal-Mart twice and their applications are the worst applications I had ever dealt with. They never hired me and some people I knew told me how bad that place is.
@@TheJbhmetal At the Walmart where I worked, the managers would write people up for things that they had no control over. On one of the nights when we had a delivery, EVERYTHING fell over and had to be restacked, which left us no time to take out our food waste (since they only let us take it out every hour and a half). The next evening, the same manager who was overseeing this reprimanded my whole department.
@@GetYourChicken17 makes you wish there's a team like Leverage to take them down
I’m glad you’re feeling better, congrats on the MBA
Great to hear bro! You should make a "Top 10 songs about quitting your job / telling your boss to shove it" list!
Take Your Carriage Clock and Shove It by Belle and Sebastien.
A great little song about a man who's about to retire and decides to stop being polite. (supposedly, it's also a metaphor for the internal politics of the band, but whatever, the literal interpretation is just too fun)
Songs that come to mind are:
FOD, Platypus, Prosthetic Head, and the entire Insomnaic album by Green Day
I want Out by Helloween
Stick It by Great White
Breaking The Chains and Without Warning/Tooth And Nail by Dokken
Career Opportunities by The Clash
Breaking The Law and You Got Another Thing Comin by Judas Priest
Bittersweet Symphony by Verve
You Get What You Give by New Radicals
A lot of Minor Threat songs
Waiting Room by Fugazi
Matchbook by Strung Out
Voices by Disturbed
Youth Gone Wild by Skid Row what else?
Take This Job and Shove It by Johnny Paycheck
Great video Luke. Congrats on the MBA
When he talked about throwing middle fingers, I instantly thought of him doing that blaring Stone Cold's theme music.
I’d rather listen to the full album of Lulu than spend time working in a Toxic workplace. You have made a great choice in leaving that awful place man. Stay Positive!
At least, a horrible album is shorter than a shift of a horrible job.
@@TheJbhmetal You're so wrong boy.
@@gS0yeUE0udz7d how long can an album be?
That almost sounds worse than that crap job I had at Wendy's. I had to walk an hour and a half every other day (since I didn't have a license) and people always griped at me during rush hour, no matter how hard I worked. And having autism spectrum disorder didn't help matters for me either.
I'll never forget Kevin. I worked at a 2m/yr McDs aka. Drive thru full and line out the door at lunch.
Kevin , at the register, says "GUYS, THERE'S A %!$@×!÷ BURGER KING RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET!" He was suspended. Legend!
I work for a very small company where we’re treated like family and both wages and benefits keep improving over the years. I work as a consultant and I’ve seen how big corporate companies work from the inside. While many would like me as a permanent employee, I refused because I see how they treated their regular employees. I’ll stick to my small company, thank you.
Well done for the leap you've taken, and the message you're putting out there. Mental health is so important, and it sounds like splitting from your former employer is going to be an extremely positive step for you with that. Looking forward to the channel growing with you.
Alright life coach. I hear you loud and clear. Rock on, man!
I am 100% here for this. I'm really glad you've moved on from a toxic employer.
I had a similar experience, I worked for a big energy company in UK. I worked at one of their call centres, worked hard, mastered the area I was trained in and transferred to another office due to personal reasons.
As a result of that change, I became the person who knew the most about that field, in the office and subsequently became everyone's go to (it was what I imagine it was like being a rock star - everyone knew me, and I had no idea who any of them are!).
Through sheer hard work and commitment on my side, I was promoted to learning and development, and I quickly earned a reputation for taking no prisoners and telling things how they are; to the point that within a week in the job, I had told one of my colleagues the training wasn't fit for purpose and helped re-write the whole thing so it was a better experience for everyone going through it, for the trainer's training it, and better results for management.
That all came to a head when somebody approached me to ask a simple question - "whose responsible for this?" And I answered. "They say it's not them, that it's this other team" to which, I replied "biggest load of bollocks I've heard this year - and I've heard *a lot* of bollocks this year!" Then asked them to leave it with me.
Half an hour and two emails later, I had two important people on record pointing me to the team I stated were responsible, and passed it on. The manager in question was overjoyed to have it resolved, and introduced me to one of her contacts, who'd been working on this issue... For six months.
Apparently, after six months, he had gotten exactly nowhere, and I had fixed it, in a morning, whilst I was also training a team.
Needless to say, he didn't like me much!
Next time a group was being trained, one of the people from scheduling made a point to let me know what days they were on, just in case there were any issues, then a couple of hours later had to apologetically backtrack, because I wasn't training them - despite being the best qualified, having the most experience, and having run the training team (which often meant twelve hour days, some of that time was unpaid, skipped breaks, ten minute lunches where I literally inhaled a sandwich because I had about enough time to *buy* food, not to buy and consume...).
Couldn't get anyone on the record about the reasons.
I dusted myself off, and two jobs came up. Both perfect for me, in two very different ways. Rejected at the first hurdle.
The same job came up in another office, so using the same details, I submitted an application... Flew through the first stage, then the second, the third, got an email saying I had been shortlisted for interview...
I turned down the job in the end and left.
It was abundantly clear to me that their entire issue with me had *nothing* to do with my work ethic, my ability, my professionalism or my experience, and entirely to do with who I am and that I will show up bad colleagues who just want to tread water on cushy assignments.
I don't know what you've been through, Luke, that would be massively insulting, I can relate to it and I have a feeling you will look back on that choice as one of the best decisions you ever made.
Again, good on you for having the fortitude to make that decision.
There are many in that situation. Glad you took control. I wish you much success.
This here is inspiring, I know it’s hard…but it makes me want to create stuff harder!!!!
Congratulations on not having to deal with a regular job anymore. I’ve been working towards that myself, I recently had to leave my last job because I was in a car crash and because of that some parts of the job became to physically demanding and that job was not willing to work with me but instead pushed me to having to quit
Wow. WOW. the first words out of my mouth after I watched this with my husband were, "Well, if that isn't a sign from the fucking universe, I don't know what is."
First of all, GOOD FOR YOU!!!
Second of all, you honestly have no idea how much I needed to hear every bit of this. We are going through one of the biggest struggles we ever have, between unemployment (both of us!), constant daily worry, and severe mental health struggles on top of all of it, everything you said was exactly what I needed to hear. We're going to make it. We're all going to make it.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. ❤️
Kudos man! Quit my job in June, no notice for similar reasons. Stand up for yourself if work doesn't respect you. Thanks for sharing and inspiring others!
Sounds like a perfect time to listen to some New Radicals.
Rocked: Take this job and Shove it! I ain't workin' here no more.
Clown: sounds like a Country song; "you can take this job and shove it, you can take this job and shove it, you can take this job and shove it, UP YOUR ASS!"
(that was an edited Spawn joke in case you didnt know.)
Dude, I have been a fan of this channel for a little while but this was the video that spoke to me directly. I quit my job back in May as a support analyst for a healthcare company. It was long 8-9 hour days of sitting at a computer in my bedroom trying to solve tech issues for hospitals and medical practices. I would routinely have to take mental health days because I was depressed and contemplated suicide almost daily. I told my manager I would work for two weeks but she said it would be best if I just got done right then and there. They didn’t care about me, it was all a facade. Ive been looking for work since so I can pay my bills and student loans from my TOTALLY USEFUL English Degree. Living on an island off the coast of Maine, opportunities are either get on a lobster boat or move. My parents have grilled me for quitting my job; just like you said, they are part of a generation that only values work and a paycheck rather than true happiness (which is why their jobs make them miserable)
This is a long ramble that I never do but this really struck a chord with me (music pun). I have been wanting to be a content creator for so long and I really think that it will bring me true happiness to do something I love and make other happy and enjoy it. Luke, I wish you the best my man, and I will continue my support for Rocked. Much Love.
P.S. I miss Regretting the Past but I understand that TH-cam sucks and that Simple Plan can only drain so much of one’s soul
It's stories like this that make me glad I quit my previous job when I did. That job was so stressful and my boss was such a nightmare that I nearly died from a stress-induced stomach ulcer. It didn't help that a combination of crappy circumstances had conspired to prevent me from seeking medical attention for three days. Three days where I still had to work because my boss didn't think this alarming, increasing pain in my chest that got so bad I was unable to sleep was bad enough to justify giving any time off. I'm not exaggerating when I say that was the worst pain that I ever felt in my life. Thank God it wasn't a heart attack.
The real kicker was when I finally got medical attention for my ulcer, which the doctors said was *very* close to becoming bad enough to kill me or cause permanent damage (thankfully it didn't), my boss came up to me and said "So, are you going to get better or am I going to have find a replacement for you?" I didn't even dignify that with a response and handed in my notice the next day.
Then I got a job that doesn't pay nearly as much, but it has a better boss, better work environment, and my mental and physical health is better for it.
In your corner, dude. Much love.
Sent this to all my friends going through this. Thanks for the message. It's so important!
Good for you dude! I recently left a job that i absolutely hated with no employment opportunities but found a job where I'm happy and feel encouraged to gain new skills
I hope and pray that This channel blows up. Best of luck my man. I wish you nothing but the best. Im pulling for you
Luke Spencer - My Old Job | Regretting the Past | Rocked
Seriously though congrats and stuff
As somebody who has been in a similar work environment, you have my full support. Congratulations on escaping a potentially life-threatening Hell hole. I'm currently "in between jobs" myself and my old job probably used the pandemic as an excuse for "restructuring" staff members and roles, leading to my dismissal last September, but I took it as an opportunity to actually be able to live for once. I'm now studying at a local tertiary education facility to increase my skills where I've needed it the most for so long, and I have no regrets in doing so.
Here's to the future, bro. \m/
I’m very glad that you made this video not only for the inspiration that we can all take from it but it sounded like it really felt good to get everything off your chest and I hope you get to a much better place very soon in that you feel valued in whatever you choose to do
Thank you, I needed to hear this. I am going through a lot of big changes all at once and it can be very overwhelming.
It definitely can be overwhelming. Doesn't mean it always will be. Hopefully you can plan things out and make it work.
Congratulations. Worked in a distribution center for a major Minnesota retailer. Was treated like an line item on an expense report. Told younger people to get the hell out there as soon as possible. Retired in 2019. Very happy.
Good shit bro. I'm at odds with my management right now and this was damn inspiring
Man, congratulations! What a great message! The best of luck, sir!
Congrats dude! I just quit my job as well due to to mismanagement and physical/mental exhaustion. I think everyone should know their worth.
I love this. Best of luck to you in the future! I've been there...miserable to the point of suicidal. I'm glad you were able to get yourself out.
I totally support you Luke. I've been watching your videos for a few years now & respect the passion you put into your videos because the quality, to me at least, shows in the results. Keep on going Luke, you have my respect, I've got your back, you got this.
In a similar situation myself. My organisation doesn't treat me badly but my job is a dead end and not what I want to do anymore. I'm looking to start my own music PR business (which eventually I want to become a band management company) and grow my YT channels. So this was very inspiring for me!
Those “old timers” had companies that actually valued their employees. There are sooo many companies that only need you to make them money. They always have the “your replaceable” attitude. Very demoralizing, your right, no one is stuck. If the desire is there opportunities are everywhere. 4 years with my own company, it’s been a struggle but I’m getting closer to “MY GOALS”. Not someone else’s.
As someone who was almost driven to drastic, self-harmful measures by a past corporate job, this video was supremely therapeutic to watch. Thank you so much, Luke!
In 2015 going into early 2016, I worked at Kmart. At first it was fine enough, but then my original store manager got promoted and was replaced by a passive aggressive manager who had no sympathy and no awareness for those with disabilities. As time went on, because of her among other things I grew to hate my job to the point where I felt like an utter failure and resorted to literally counting down minutes in seconds just to see if that would make the day go faster, a tell tale sign that you hate your job more than anything else. As time went on she began cutting my hours and the hours of other disabled people who worked at my store for no other reason than she low key hated people with disabilities. Following the holidays I no longer obtain hours and a month later I find out that they terminated me for absolutely no reason without even telling me and supposedly it was within their legal right to do so. So trust me, I know exactly how you felt and I am extremely happy for you for getting yourself out of a horrible situation. Congrats Luke!!!!!
22 years ago, I was working a job I hated. Money and benefits were great, but I hated everything about that place. So I made the decision to become a truck driver. Learned the business and started a few companies, currently started my 3rd. Point is a salary is a payoff for an allotment of headaches. Once that allotment is overflowing, it's time for something else. For me it's a badge of honor to have walked out of $100,000 per year incomes 4 times in my life. Best of luck brother, you finally realized your self worth.
Great for you. And watching the whole video I realize your advice can be for anyone feeling stuck in a relationship or friendship. Any toxicity can and should be removed.
Congratulations on your part for going into the somewhat unknown with a plan.
Great video, and love the channel. A few years ago my job went through kind of a rough phase, and lots of other people did quit. Thankfully things are getting a lot better, and I mostly really like my day job now. However, even finding some thing outside of your day job that is just fun, or for you, does really help get through some of the rough times. Doing some of these projects, and getting back into drumming was really helpful for me, and got me overall motivated again, even for my day job. Now things are looking pretty good.
Dude, you'll never know how much I needed this video right now. Thank you so much, brother.
Part of me wishes you’d named and shamed them, but a bigger part of me wants to say congratulations and well done. Couldn’t have happened to a better content creator. :) 💜
Thank you for sharing this with us, Luke. I will take this advice to heart for when I enter the workforce.
Dude, much love to you. Good for you for looking after your mental health 💜
Thank you for this! It made me feel so much better. I feel stuck in a rut at the moment with what I'm doing and I'm actively looking to change what I do, fresh start all round actually.
I’m with you. I had a similar situation. I’m glad to be over it and have already lined up a new job.
Even though my job sucks, my mental health sucks even more, and I don't make enough to move out of my parent's place... I'm at least lucky in the sense that I'm able to push back a little when my employers get too unreasonable. For the past few years, I've also been trying to stand up for my co-workers when they're being mistreated. It's not much, but it's important to me.
Being honest, I've been 100% where you're at and most employers these days are pretty shitty. I know I'm just a lowly viewer right now but if things end up going the way I think they will, hopefully I'll be in your position soon (minus the MBA part, mad respect for that brother!). You got this! You'll definitely have more time for you (and yes, benefits in the US suck ass). I'm personally planning on becoming a content creator very soon myself (even at my old age... I'm pushing 50... it's never too late).
Keep it up! Proud of you!
What an inspiring story! I was fortunate enough to find a much better place to work last year, and I was being treated the same exact way at my previous job to what you described. It was demoralizing to say the least. To see somebody actually break out and become a full-time creator I say hats off to you. It's funny because the way I found your channel was on the similar channels list in my analytics - though I am nowhere near your viewership. I was just analyzing the "competition" so to speak when I came across this. This one really hits home and I wish your channel much continued success. New fan and follower here - keep up the great work!
I feel this video in my bones. I work in a government agency and this hits the nail on the head with how management treats employees. We have a 60% turnover rate in the first year, btw
Incredibly proud of you for taking control. I had to go back out there due to my business here not immediately taking off. Always dreading the day does tend to wear you out. I hope and pray every day to land a miracle so God Willing, I can take control again.
Thank you for posting this video and congratulations on your positive steps. I know how hard it is trying to turn a passion into a sustainable living. I'm currently trying to do the same thing with my music. My day job can crush me sometimes and it sucks that I have to dedicate so much of my waking hours to working for the man and commuting. It can really be hard to do anything after a 12hr day doorstep to doorstep. Keep going bro. Every story like yours is an inspiration. Much success to you!
Good on you brother. Been there. I still struggle but it is now on my own terms and conditions. Keep on rocking. God bless!
Some right decisions are often the hardest ones. It's inspiring to see you taking the chance to take your life in your own hands and to to what you really like to do and make a living out of that. Rock on!
I wish I could quit my job. I work in Mental Health, err the pit of despair, no one is happy. I just don’t want my patients relying on people that half-ass their care.
I’m only 17, 18 in September. And I’m already working on starting a business, I have a co ceo, 2 web devs in university and a lot of interest in what I’m doing. I’ve worked one job for a few months and realized everything you said and why I was immediately sick of working for someone else
Very motivational, I hope this video finds all the people who have stressful jobs
You don't know me from anyone, but I am proud of you. I was in a very similar position not too long ago, and it does get better. It took 15 months, but it was so worth it.
Looking forward to more of your content.
Congratulations my friend. You are meant for even better things. I wish I could be as comfortable in front of a camera as you seem to be. Love your videos. Keep them coming.
I just left a very toxic environment. It was making me feel the exact same way you described. I have this week to regather my sanity, then I start fresh on Monday with a new company. Good for you and shame on them.
Been there, man! Good for you! Don't look back. Look high.
A little of my story. I moved to the US cause I couldn't find a job where I lived. I started working in a BK first which wasn't bad considering that the bk I worked in was the chillest place and all the manager asked was to keep it clean and maintain freshness or whatever. Then I got a job in Amazon Warehouse... it was bad. Insomnia is a constant problem for me but I dont like working all night cause my anxiety is incredibly strong at night and I prefer being at home relaxing. So it was either afternoon shift or morning. I was given a morning shift and it sucked :3 I worked for 10 hours on 5 hours of sleep on "good nights" and 2 to 1 hour of sleep on bad, and that is if I got sleep at all cause YES I worked without any sleep at all too. You can't slack off, you have 5 minutes minimum in bathrooms and if you took more they would question you. You had 2 thirty minute breaks to sit and eat and that was it, and you had to do A LOT of heavy lifting (50 lbs or max for 1 person). Needless to say my sleep depravity and constant overworking made me.... very suicidal. Waking up I wanted to cry, my body felt numb and it was just horrible, I had thoughts of me killing myself and I sometimes even had plans of it. I had to hum music to myself (Slipknot, Kamelot, Rammstein, etc.) To keep myself sane cause NO YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE SCANNING STUFF OR ANYTHING AT ALL. I started treating myself with a psychologist and honestly that helped me get through it until finally my application for Walmart was accepted and I swear that I almost cried in front of a bunch of Amazon workers. I left work the next day and it was the best decision I made. I get paid less but I honestly don't care. Money is not worth your body or happiness.
I did just this almost 2 years ago.
I was an HGV driver working 10+ hours a day 5 days a week.
Unappreciated and underpaid(for the hours I worked) I started making a plan to get out about 10-11 months before I handed my notice in.
Even then, when I handed in my notice I didn’t actually have a job to go to, just a registration with an employment agency.
4 days after I left my job I was working somewhere else.
It’s not perfect and doesn’t pay as much, but I have more time for myself which is more than I could say about my previous job.
You are so right. I hate corporate America. I worked it for five years. I could not take one more minute. Now I work for a small time flower shop and I take care of the six properties. I love it and I am so grateful and happy. Good luck to you and God bless
I had a job in food service . . . and while i LOVE to cook, to say that I hated that place or feared for my sanity while there doesn't even cover it . . . I hurt, like the heartburn from hell, consumed by a misery that was painful . . .
I quit my call center job back in February. They’d promoted me two weeks prior to my putting my notice in, but my old team was so understaffed that their “solution” for my leaving that team was to have me work both my old position and my new position at the same time until the new training class finished (and even then there wasn’t a guarantee that they’d be able to fill my old position because turnover during training was high). I was essentially working two jobs for the price of one and underperforming in both as a result. All of this could’ve been avoided if they hadn’t let go of a whole bunch of people during the start of the pandemic. Because they let go of a bunch of people, they started expecting those who were left to do more for the same amount of pay. Needless to say, my depression became just as bad then as it was when I was working in retail (e.g. I thought about killing myself at least twice a day every day). I made sure I had enough money saved up beforehand so I could take all the time I needed to improve my mental health. I’ve been happily unemployed for almost half a year now and have been working on my childhood dream of writing a book. I started exercising more too because now I have the time for it. I’ve lost 10 lbs since quitting my job and my mental health is better than it’s been in almost two decades. So yeah. Fuck capitalism and fuck corporate America.
I just recently did the same thing. Congratulations Luke.
Dude I felt this 👏👏👏 definitely needed to hear this type of message.
Congrats on getting out. Best of luck.
Congratulations! I found your channel in 2019!. The first video I saw was Bands To See In 2019. You mentioned Avatar who I never heard of. 9 months later I knew every song by them when I saw them at the Warfield in San Francisco with Babymetal! Thanks for your insight and good luck in tge future.
Well said and valuable advice. Good for you, hope the future is bright.
Thank you for this, I wish someone told me this 8 years ago, luckily I enjoy my current job but I am trying to juggle work and streaming but it's been hard but I'm gonna still keep at it.
Holy crap, SO true! Great message earned you a subscriber!
I just got back into the job search world and I really needed to hear this. Thanks man. Hope you get the relief you need
Congratulations! I love what I do. I’ve liked my employer for most of my career. That’s changed. Like you, I’m working on my plan to walk away. Time to go work on the books I’m writing! Thanks!
Damn. I’m glad you got away from that toxic work situation.
Congratulations and best of luck!
big congrats, Luke. happy as hell for you ! xx
Hell yeah, thanks for the inspiration brother!
Thankful to love my company. Good luck sir. I hope this works out or you find a place that appreciates you.
I really needed to see this. This video has certainly inspired me and hopefully many others to look elsewhere. Well done for finding the courage to walk away from what sounds like a disgustingly toxic work environment. I was in a similar situation a few years back and managed to finally escape to start a new job (my current job) which I really enjoyed to begin with. Over time, however, the work environment there has become increasingly toxic and certain people I have come to realise are very difficult to please and work with. Deja vu situation. The pandemic hasn't helped things either. I think I need to leave and find a workplace where I feel valued and work with people I can easily get along with. I've come to the end of my tether and dread going in every day.
Anyway, enough from me, good luck and all the best with everything! 🙂
This has to be the most unexpected badass f****** video I've ever f****** seen in my f****** life! Sorry for f****** cussing, but that was amazing, inspirational and helpful!!! I just found this channel today and was already impressed by the extensiveness of its content and how some videos deep dive into the theories of music. 💯🎓✊🏻 Then after exploring the channel further, I found yet another gem: this video. I just want to say that I commend you for taking a leap of faith while taking the steps to further your education and going after what means most to you! 👏🏻 AND on top of that, sharing your story has not only been enlightening and inspiring, but you pointed out what is truly wrong with corporate America and stood up to their injustices in a superior fashion! ✊🏻 There aren't many other words I can say to express how f****** cool I think that is other than "F*** Yeah! That's what's up!" 💪🏻👏🏻✊🏻🤘🏻
Needless to say, I am now a subscriber 😆
Thank you!!!
Hey man, I only recently discovered your channel and in the past few weeks or so I’ve watched almost every video. I’ve worked horrendous jobs to the point of severe mental instability and it’s kept me from doing what I have always wanted to do which is a career in media and content creation. Even when working a non-career job that treats me better and gives me a better life, it’s still a rough climb to get to the point where you can do what you want to do. Seeing this video, even a few months after its posting, is something I needed to see to keep trying. Thanks for posting this!
I’ve been planning to leave my job to find a better one. Currently in limbo because I’m waiting for an interview reply for the past 2 weeks. I love my co-workers but my job doesn’t work for the current work at home pandemic life, I need my family and they are right there and I can’t spend my time with them because my schedule and on top of that, the pay is not worth my health or my family’s health. Knowing that it’s hard to get a job during the pandemic makes me feel like I’m stuck but I know there’s an opportunity elsewhere even if it’s not what I love. Changing to a more stable job that has more regular hours will help me and my family do better and even pursue what I do love after my family. Thank you for sharing this video. It brings me hope and inspiration to not give up. And congratulations for being able to do this step. It is going to be worth it as you said. And good luck with your MBA,
Live the dream dude. The level of realism, open mindedness and appreciation in this video is great. I'm hoping to start a channel soon and seeing something like this is reassuring and inspiring. And even if it doesn't work for me, I'm so happy to know there are people out there making it happen and breaking free from their exploitative jobs. Congrats.
I quit working like 3 years ago. I hated all of my jobs. My first job was literally 86 to 100 hour weeks. In the worst conditions you could imagine. A constant fear that I could get electrocuted, or even worse catch cancer (still could happen in the future) but so so so thankful for my awesome wife who make triple what I did. Even with 3 kids, well 2 and 1 on the way but she told me quit, stay at home with the kids and ill work. It's worked beautifully for us and I couldn't be more happy in life and my depression and anxiety has been better. I have time for therapy and meds and have my bipolar disorder under control. Like he said you are better than just a paycheck and some benefits that aren't that good!
Wow, sounds like you found a really partner to have!!!
Thank you I’m actually crying I feel stuck and have for years
Huge congrats to you man! Sorry your employer treated you like that, that's insane. What an excellent message in your video!
You should have walked into the bosses office and said, "Take This Job And Shove It!"
Just had this video randomly pop up, but I did something similar at my govt job. I took an early retirement @ 55 because I was simply done. Didn't want to learn another brand new way of doing things, so I left on my own terms. I filed for disability, got paid while waiting for the wheels to slowly move, and in mid 2021, am now very happy, relaxed, and stress free.
Good for you on doing what you need to do to make yourself whole again.👍
My mom quit one of her jobs because her boss was rude and lashed out at her saying “If you’re going to cut your hours here but still work full time at your other job I won’t work with you.” The thing is, my mom never said anything about cutting her hours at one job and still working more at her other job. In fact the job she quit was her full time job, and the other was just a part time job. The reason she wanted to talk to her boss about her hours is because she was scheduled to have “her parts removed” as she put it, so she wanted to let her boss know so they could schedule her accordingly. Her boss would say things like “No one cares about our store more than I do” but then when she wanted help from him he’d say “I don’t have time for that. I have too much to worry about at my real job”.🙄
Good for you Luke. Congratulations!!
I remember working at a job that sucked my soul out of my ear 40+ hours a week. It turned me into a husk of a person. I'm better now.
