But what is the alternative? Not everybody is an entrepreneur and that might not be any easier or make more money. it’s either Work, be an entrepreneur or be homeless. The Bible says if a man doesn’t work, he doesn’t eat.
I think a lot of people view the job market in a silo. You work for a corporation. That corporation’s sole objective is to survive. Money is a crucial part of its survival. Now if that corporation houses staff that have to be highly paid, well looked after (which is expensive ), a great physical work environment, pensions & the like, the high taxes that that corporation pays to have you there… people at some point, corporations will explode! This is why you’re seeing so many layoffs. I think a lot of employees are overly entitled. That corporation was built by one very brave person who had an idea. You as the employee is not owed all these luxuries simply for working there. That business can go bust at any minute, and at that point, with so many employees & so little with the ability to start & maintain companies.. where does society stand? Once an employee gets out there and tries to run a business on their own they’ll be able to view the corporations that employ them with more empathy. Honestly, we are all quite fortunate to have corporations that can consistently pull in revenue over decades. With no corporations, we have NO WORK!
@@yanikeonpurpose You must be a company owner. Stagnat wages for 30 years, but bosses paying themselves millions. Company owner or not, you can still treat people with respect. People are getting fed up with, low wages, toxic teenager managers with no experience, back stabbing co workers, Horrible HR, toxic environment etc.
40? you are lucky if that's all you have to do. i've had to work 50,60,70, even 80hrs a week before. there were days i went in to work at like 6am and didn't get off until 10pm at night!
@BackyardAquatics-o2m Me too as a Retail Manager , who these companies take advantage of. Laws need to be changed to not allow companies to take advantage of their Salaried Employees.
@@Anelipka sounds about right these days. I mean at my last job I literally had 1-2hrs before bed every night. what kind of life is that?....and people wonder why people choose to be homeless. they have more freedom than people that work all the time.
I have walked out on a job with absolutely nothing lined up. When you're tired of dealing with attitudes from management and that workplace, you will walk.
Many people experience a rise in stress, anxiety, and even depression when they think about returning to work on Monday. I call it the Sunday Night Blues.
They want you to be stressed out of your mind, to be worried about affording your home and supporting your family, on top of that they will create conflicts at work to make your life even more sour
@@Dallas3212 Yes, indeed, teachers are most stressed than ever. I sense it is not because of teaching, of pupils that don't listen or misbehave but because of other factors created by the government, school board and their finances( low salary, inflation, etc). Teachers salary used to be good enough to afford a decent life but not anymore these days
I'm gen X and was told to get a good job with benefits and hang on to it. I did for 28 years. I worked for a supermarket, and I quit because the management was awful, and they didn't respect my work-home balance. I used to hate every day I went to work and my coworkers. My side hustle became my main income. I don't regret quitting for a minute. Life is to short to let your job steal your joy.
I work for the postal service, and the sheer number of incompetence that management has is alarming. There seems to be zero accountability, barely any training, and a copious amount of callouts from younger folks. I am trying to pivot to a different position and different employer entirely at this point. I just hate the environment that is fostered there.
worked there 3 years myself. the pay is decent but that is your whole life. i was working 60-80hrs a week never any time off for myself. now with amazon they even had us working sundays. it was bad enough we had to work every saturday. 6-7 days a week is ridiculous for any job. life is more important outside of work. get out of there and find something else where you can actually live a life.
@@Kiyonce.Kartier they could make it a good job if they wanted to but they don't. they wanna work everyone into the ground. do 12hrs of work in 8hrs...1 person do the amount of work it would take 3 people to do...never take any time off work...work every holiday almost....work every weekend....management does nothing but boss people around and waste time on stupid zoom meetings every day. to get done in 10-12hrs you are forced to cut corners then that causes issues with customers... they won't hire enough people to work just like every job out there now.....basically they want you to work 12-15hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Reasons - health, anxiety, stress, sleeplessness, all convos are trauma bonding with colleagues and personality becoming more and more cynical. After quitting, all these problems went within a week. Peace of mind is a MUST !!!!
I think I need to get a job at Wells Fargo.... If an employee sat in his cubicle for 4 days dead and no one noticed, they OBVIOUSLY don't micromanage... IJS😆
@@jamesharris2615 I'm just so shocked that ...a workmate is dead for four days in the office and no one missed her? This says a lot about the company, and team-mates too.. Seriously no one missed her...and not even the line manager 🙄 Wow!
So many factors with that employee. I feel so bad that 4 days went by. With a lot of the changes that a lot of corporate jobs are implementing (ex. strict RTO), I'd be wary.
was burnt out from academia and no work-life balance - now in retail, a lot happier knowing I dont have a thing to do once I clock off. bit of a pay decrease, but it's worth it right now for me.
Can't say I blame you. I have read so many articles that featured individuals in academia who talked about the serious mental and emotional toll those environments took on them.
Ironically, I was just talking about this to someone a few days ago. I am in management and it is what I love to do. I enjoy watching my team grow. I believe in ACTIVELY listening and challenging them to look at certain situations with a different perspective. I stand for what's right, not what's popular. I believe in accountability. If I'm wrong, I own it and I apologize. I have worked for some AWFUL leaders and although I loved my job, I left because I couldn't deal with the management.
You sound like the type of manager I love. I have been a manager many times and like you, I was not afraid to apologize to my team if I were wrong. I also love being in a team and working towards a common goal. It's sad that your leaders weren't good.
Millennial here. Something changed my brain chemistry when the lockdowns hit, and that same year a new CEO was appointed in the organization I worked with. He was well-known in the industry as a major d-bag, so everyone was stunned when he got the job. Business partners were pulling out left and right, and close connections no longer wanted to be associated with us. I'd say 85% of the staff quit, myself included due to incompetence from the guy, and I already picked up whiffs of something foul going on behind the scenes. Tried finding new jobs, but discovered that I could no longer stand the commute and office environments. Took some time off while working part-time, and now I'm freelancing full-time. I will never work in an office again!
Yep! My friend who is an engineer with Amazon will NOT go into the office. * They are requiring that those working from home come to the office allllll week.*
@@wellthatgotweird They want people back in the office because they are a bunch of control freaks who want to monitor everything workers do., how they dress, what they eat... Everything. This is also the reason why they changed the cubicles environment to an open office, an environment without any privacy. The only place you can have some privacy is the toilet(even this might not be the case everywhere)
@@wellthatgotweird I live near Seattle and the city is pushing all employers to have their entire staff come back into the office to help revitalize the city. Has nothing to do with collaboration. It has to due with increasing the revenue in the city. Spend money on gas, parking, coffee, food, public transit etc. to help with the budget deficit the city is facing. They don’t care about the insane commute or their employees work life balance. It’s 100% political. Hopefully your friend will be able to keep their job.
I think a lot of the burnout directly correlates to the fact that wages are not keeping up with inflation. I know I have personally had jobs that were extremely demanding of my time & energy, but I was making really good money. In that case I was a lot more willing to put up with BS & BS managers. At that time I had enough money to live comfortably & fund my dreams & hobbies outside of work. But when you are working a shit ton of hours & barely able to scrape by, the burnout is real. I lose the will to work when it is like sacrificing my life to barely even scrape by. It is a miserable feeling.
@SugaryPhoenixxx yes to all of that!! What use to be "good pay" is barely cutting it now, esp for those who've been working the jobs for a decade+ -- I'm even seeing my husband who ALWAYS loved his job, despise it because what use to be great pay doesn't match what he feels is "worth it" anymore.
As someone who's about to graduate from University and join the job hunt, I've been keeping an eye on all these 9-5 Job TikToks and it has me geniunely terrified. I had an internship at this company which was great. Everyone was nice and management knew what they were doing and how to properly communicate. Then I realized workplaces like these are few and far between. Now I am afraid whatever job I land will be toxic and burn me out to the point where I have no energy to pursue my hobbies and interests outside of work. As a creative person, having no energy to do your hobbies sounds like a nightmare.
I've hated pretty much most of my jobs, especially call centers. I've recently lost my job at one due to a dip in performance due to burnout, and haven't felt better. I was actually thinking that not being here on earth anymore was a better alternative than being their. I just hope the next job I get won't be as bad, but I'm truly sick of working for others and am now working on creating my own opportunities.
"I was actually thinking that not being here on earth anymore was a better alternative than being their." Absolutely not. Don't ever let a job drive you to that point because screw them and that stank job. Live your life and pave your way. You got what you need to make it right with you.
Work has gotten worse since COVID. There will be a mass exodus from jobs next year. My experience has always been because of Management, not money. It is always the people.
I had a supervisor like that had no experience with people she was promoted from being a secretary . And had know idea on how the supervise .They want the money not the responsibility ,
@@tiffanykim2773truth! And in government, where the main roles are mostly men, the powers that be will put a man in charge over the roles typically filled by women. Even if that man knows nothing about the job!
9 to 5's are comfortable and there's nothing wrong with that. A lot of people just want to get out of school, get into a work place, cop some benefits and call it a day. Sadly a lot of those people are also just working to pay bills, can't even get the time off to relax or use a lot of those benefits when needed so it's almost a waste. A waste of life, talent, skill of everything and previous generations probably never realized this until it was too late while newer generations are starting to understand this now and they're speaking out about it. It's a sad situation all around honestly.
I work at Dollar Tree, I don't get paid much, but my manager is very nice. She's understanding, lenient, and is cleanly and organized. I plan on leaving in a couple of months, and I feel bad about it a little bad about it because she's such a good boss. But unfortunately, at the end of the day the income is not enough.
I quit my last job without notice last November. It had been building up inside me and a manager did something so egregious that I was done. It was a decent pay job that I hated going to. No, I had nothing else lined up. I took 3 months before I decided to look for another job (was in a decent situation financially at the time). Currently earning less but feel respected usually. Much less toxic atmosphere. Much less corporatey. It's a local company, and I prefer that.
I can't say I blame you. Environment is everything to me. Peace of mind is everything to me. I would take a pay cut for peace of mind. Thanks for sharing your story and I am so happy you are in a much better place.
I used to work at McDonalds about two years ago. Way back in 2022. It was my first job actually. I was 18-years-old at the time. I was only there for three months and after that short time, I quit. My former manager there was literally a monster. She was vicious, angry, and just a very incompetent manager in general. She had the most nattiest attitude ever. She treated me, and the rest of her employees like trash. I didn’t have enough courage to speak out about the way I was being treated though unfortunately. She would also yell at me in front of customers and embarrass me. I couldn’t take the verbal abuse any more and mustered up enough courage to quit. Forget putting in a two week notice. I quit in the spot. I felt so good both mentally and physically after making my departure from that toxic work environment.
I’m so glad that u were able to get out of a toxic situation like that, the manager is probably a bitter and nasty woman but she has no right to take it out on other ppl just trying to do their job, I hope ur doing so much better nowadays ❤❤
I worked fast food once and the manager had anger issues. He would yell in my face and have such anger towards me. I wasn’t sure if he showed up to work drunk or what. I stayed there for a while but I had to leave.
@@katythebeauty330 I'm so sorry you experienced that with your former manager.. How horrible for him to verbally abuse you in such a egregious manner like that. I'm glad you left. Being verbally abused and humiliated at a job is the worst experience ever. My old manager was like that with me, and the rest of my coworkers unfortunately.
I was going through training for the postal office. The trainer kept repeating "for the first year or so, you will be working 7 days a week & you might be in the field until 9 pm and if we need you to help someone else with their truck, you can't go home until they're done too" I promise you I did not show back up the next day......
And I do not blame you one bit!!! Are they insane???!!! Swven days a week until 9pm in some cases. They were looking for a slave and an idiot. I would not have shown up the next day either.
Or… OR…start focusing on making that thing you do in your free time, your next job. Start small, test the waters, market yourself, talk to people and hang out in coffee shops. Before you know it, you’ve just found your next job.
@@ErinRSU …live your life how you want, I’m just presenting an option. It ain’t “one size fits all” is it? Well, is it? And yeah, there needs to be a systematic overhaul, so when do you start that overhaul?
I am so sorry to hear that. Yes, Sunday should be a day of peace, sadly for a lot of people, it's a day of dread because they know what awaits them on Monday. I hope you find something that makes you happy and pays you well. Thanks for watching!
Omg I am sitting in my car in tears!!! I work in mental health as a Case Manager 26 clients got to meet with them 6 times a month! I work for free on the weekends and after work because a lot of my clients work til 530. Ughhhh I get everything in on time and they still try to bully me and pick me apart! It's not the mentally ill clients it's the workers!!!!!! I take so much pride in what I do only to be treated like trash by management. I really don't know what to do! I feel like I'm dying!!! Thanks everyone for your comments it helps!! Best of luck!
I used to believe that I have ADHD (diagnosed), but now I realize that modern life has become so unmanageable that I’m being gas-lit into thinking I have it. Companies don’t care about our mental & emotional energy.
Also I another reason why people are quitting is due to RUDE CUSTOMERS. Aka all the karens and kevins/kens out there. I work in a retail store and I see a HUGE increase in rude customers!
I work at Target and I absolutely hate it lol. Over-working, no benefits, not enough staff, and horrible management. This week is my last week I can’t take it anymore.
I completely understand, believe me. I have been there. I remeber my mental health taking a serious toll. I had to go. Thanks for watching and I hope you are doing much better.
We need a full session on burnout… it is a real issue often downplayed in work environment. People develop serious diseases, mental illness or even die because of it …
I stayed at a job at McDonalds for over a year. From eleventh to graduation. I was sexually harassed twice at that store, management didn't do shit because I was a guy, and I kept actively looking for jobs because my mom wouldn't let me quit. Then they wouldn't let me come back to work for several months because of possible seizures, and I didn't come back until after I graduated (Believe me, life was bliss without having to constantly be at work) because they needed a doctor's note. Then they fired me for one bad day. Plus a lot of these jobs say they're hiring but never want to hire anyone.
I have quit with nothing lined up...and the peace it gives..but u should have a strong faith and willing to hustle in the interim....but it's necessary sometimes truly...health truly is wealth🎯
I'm about to quit mine and walk across that border.... free hotel room and thousands in food for free. Why the hell am I working and struggling when all these other people get to just eat and play video games all day?????
That Sunday Night Dread is no joke. I get it every Sunday night around 4-5pm😢 Just thinking about going back to the sickness that is my job, my soul starts to leave my body. It never used to be to be like this for me. What happened?? I hate the management, my coworkers, the low pay, and being burnt out at the end of every single day.
I had this horrible manger that forced, yes, forced us to stay past our hours to get stuff done. When I was sick, she didn't care (still walked out, though) she was fake nice and did nothing. I was about to leave and apply for McDonald's. It was basically the same pay over there. Then suddenly she retired and we got a new manager. The total opposite of her. Now, I don't mind going to work, and I feel less anxious than what I used to feel. All people really ask is a livable wage and a competent manger. which is the bare minimum.
You are right. That is the bare minimum. The girl in my video was so right about calling out sick and how it gives so many people anxiety. Forcing people to stay behind is a huge no-no.
I've worked for a Fortune 50 company for 15+ years and had all types of bosses but the ones that I've respected the most were the ones who trusted their teams and also respected the fact that their teams needed to have that work/life balance. Those bosses get the extra mile from me and I'll happily follow them around the business into roles than I'm not sure about because i know they're going to do right by me and the rest of the team.
I looooooove leaders like that. A boss who shows they care about me will get EVERYTHING from me. But, if you show me that I mean nothing.....yeah, that's a wrap.
I’ve had a few managers think they could put their hands on me, managers that would lie, managers that would falsify writeups out of pettiness, all sorts of shit in the last few years. Im just over management in general.
I am the same way; sometimes the Sunday anxiety make me physically ill. I have cancer and I am working fulltime to keep my health insurance. So I will probably die while employed because I need the health coverage. Nobody cares, least of all your workplace and I work for a hospital.
The way my heart just broke reading this. I am so so sorry about everything you are going through. That is the worst feeling - being forced to keep a job that you dread just because you need to keep your insurance. I will keep you in my prayers. I really mean that. 💜💜💜
Sweetie, it isn't heath care, it's pharmacare. They don't care about you, they will bleed you dry and have not a care when you are gone. My deepest and most sincere condolences. I left the field after 25 years. It's horribly toxic.
The suits forget who are the ones that actually make the money! They try to keep you with “you’re so amazing. We are going to give you a 6.5% raise 😃. Thank you for your hard work”
@@dawls07 my increase was because of cost of living. These corporations just keep advantage of us. The only reason why they are making a 6figure income is because of us!
I’m a Gen X lawyer making below a livable wage due to location and inflation with no salary increase. I HATE my job, and just finished crying at my desk. Now, I’m wondering what it takes to live off grid, because I cannot take this anymore.
Girl how are you feeling I know the stress is too much and I no longer tell people to keep pushing because honestly it’s not good for our mental health I hope you’re feeling better
@@mosimosi630Aww. Thank you for asking. I actually ended up resigning from that job. My personal ethics just couldn’t take it anymore. BUT, I have a recruiter who found my a better position, making more money, and most importantly- I’m not trying to justify hurting people with lame excuses about it “just being a job.” I’m also DoorDashing to save up enough money to start my own conflict resolution practice.
The job I left had employees to 8 years with no raises whatsoever. I was there almost 3 years before quitting. My new position has promotional raises and cost of living raises each year.
Two years, after a promised promotion and seeing two people, new, hired for what I was promised, it’s time to look elsewhere. I know my worth and ability. But I will not quit without another job first. ❤
This past Thursday I started a new job after leaving where I had been working for over 4 years. Left because of pay and toxicity. It has been a a weight lifted off my shoulders.
I Am quitting my job in the next 3 months. I just need to wait until Jan 1st so I am eligible for bonus and then I am out. I won’t have anything lined up but I hate my job so much it’s making me hate my life. I keep pushing through and need to for the next 3 months, just trying to hold it all together. It’s never been this bad but tons of people have left and management has not replaced them.
@@ThisBahamianGyal very kind of you, thank you. One reason I held on is golden handcuffs, I am paid decently well and it’s fully remote. But now I am getting to the point where even that is not worth it anymore and I feel like I am wasting my life here. Hopefully things improve once I leave and can figure something else out.
@@adammorra3813 wow that sounds exactly like my situation. I’m retiring in February, ready to put corporate work behind me. These last few months seem to be dragging…. I too want to get my year end bonus, and we have the same situation, people all over the company quitting and now our departments are outsourcing our work to India. I too was hating my life, losing sleep, feeling miserable, when I finally decided to take early retirement next year, I started feeling a whole lot better. I also work remote, but I’m literally tied to my desk all day long on a headset. They can see every thing we do and even post our bathroom breaks for all to see. Micromanaging to the max!! There are better jobs out there, no one should be this miserable in a job.
Been wanting to quit my job at Walmart after almost 20 years of service. Currently on the start my 20th year now. I'm tired of retail and I stuck it out long enough and gave everything I have and slowly I'm becoming more assertive about my time for myself. Even now with benefits I'm living paycheck to paycheck given all my money goes to essentials and nothing more. I want my weekends back too without having to take vacation for them because whenever I want to see my friends and family I can't because almost all of them have their weekends and even holidays off and I don't.
I am so glad I work for the company that i do.. they are good to us and time off is something i don't have to argue with anyone about.. i get a set amount of time off every year to use as i please as long as the hours are available on the calendar.. i have been there for 30 years next year and 6 more years til i retire.. blessed.. life has still been hard, me and hubby struggled when we were dating and then married with kids BUT we never lost faith and as long as we had a roof over our heads, bills paid and food for the kids, we were just fine..boys are grown and older and we are still doing well.. blessed
I quit my job in March due to poor management and ridiculous demands. End of 2023, I was awarded Employee of the Year and was granted a 3% raise for performance. Meanwhile, my rent increased by 16% that same year.
So I have made this move. After 16 ish years of working in public education as a school psy, I left to do remote work. I like remote work a heck of a lot more, but I am about to cut back again because I now see the bs is global. I am a remote psychologist but many districts want to work me like I'm full time with benefits and pension....No thanks. I escape that plantation. I do like feeling empowered to step away even if it means I have to reduce some personal spending because dang it feels good to say...."I have to work, but I don't have to work for you."...
Hope you got to use it or got that paid out. I knew someone that stacked their vacation time, was laid off due to COVID and didn’t receive a dime of it.
I thought it was just me. I keep getting videos in my feed from people talking about quitting their job and I've watched a few just to understand why. I find that it's really a thing because even at my job the young people call in so much it's like damn they might as well just quit.
Many people, myself included, are quitting due to companies downsizing but still demanding the same amount of work. Idk how tf they figure that overworking employees equates to better efficiency, especially when best workers are jumping ship left and right. Burnout seems to be a corporate trend these days.
I recently quit my job of 5 years with no backup because my manager was going to increase my already overwhelming workload....and in addition, the higher position I had been promised for over a year was no longer available due to changes in corporate that my management wasn't previously aware of. I feel like the universe is working for me--as the saying goes "one door closes another opens."
My clients tell me lots about their horrible managers, coworkers and they're fed up and quitting etc. I don't blame them, I'd have less love for my job if i was under terrible management
I'm quitting tomorrow. Not even interested in talking to my supervisor again about the reasons. Just going straight to HR. I have no backup plan in place but God will provide and I will have peace of mind. ☮️
I will definitely pray that something great comes through for you! I have quit before with no back-up plan. It was the best thing I could have ever done. I would have dropped dead on that job. I know it.
I got fired 3 years ago and I haven't been able to land another work at home job since. I refuse to work another public facing job. I'm in big trouble.
@@ThisBahamianGyal Probably if my mother unfortunately perishes. She's disabled and she's been helping me since I help her; cooking, cleaning, yard maintenance etc. She's been very patient with me. But I don't want to live with her forever.
I had a manager tell me "we need more queer people working here" and seeing as i was one of 2 out of 10 employees that _wasn't_ ...i knew the comment was directed at me. I didn't know how to respond. A few weeks later he replaced me with one of his male lovers. Told me i misgendered a person (who literally never introduced themselves to me), and that i didn't have the right vibe, despite my having worked there for 5 years, and him being manager for 6 months at that point. ☠
@@hotpotts I first misread it as him telling you you didn't t have "the right to vibe".i totally saw the scene of your gay ex boss trying to deny you that, hilarious. 😂 I m sorry or rather happy for you you re freed from working for this douche. I actually read this summary of a study summary yesterday finding that gay and straight equally hate women to the same degree,it was impossible to gconclude anything about their sexual orientation based on the levels of misogyny both groups have. I found it bc I recently find all these dudes really hating women and applauding each other for it, and figured that straight men hating women justjust would be a disadvantage in terms of biology and species survival, so those men who don't t like women maybe actually secretly like men? But looking closely men actually don't t like men either, they re quite a menace to everyone, including themselves. Maybe we actually were this sexless species living in peace and serenity and harmony with all life, until some alien parasite came down with an Asteroid, and turned the infected individuals are controlled by the parasite(in Germany there was this whole cedy movie about a guy s dick talking to him and constantly talking him into fucking some girl. Or stupid or someone up. There s also. This expression of men not thinking with their docks etc) into blood thirsty, strong, aggressive, violent and carnivore killer machines obsessed with spreading the seed(parasite)throughout.the galaxy, without empathy unable to carry a pregnancy themselves anymore but capable to provide the male gametes with their and the parasites DNA into a child while killing they re species, themselves and all other life that s on or in it's way. Bc then it would all at least make some sense. But this is just so sad somehow.
I quit because my job was getting too stressful. At least once a week, my manager would have some complaints or something to criticize about my work or attitude. And if someone commented about me, then the manager would believe that person and wouldn't even listen to my side of the story. Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore.
Weird how wages never increase with inflation, or if it does its nowhere close to being livable. If I lost my job today I'd be devastated, been trying to work on my savings, all I can say is happiness is important, but money is as well, it's hard to find a middle ground with those things at a regular job.
I quit my last job without one lined up. They messed up 2 checks, gave me a 0.25$ raise and kept me in training after 6 months. I walked in with 20yrs experience in the industry!! I told my supervisor that a year or more of “training “ reflects on poor management. The week I quit was spent looking for a new job. I had full availability for interviews. I had a few job offers by end of week. I’m about to do it again. The place I’m at now is dragging feet hiring me full time with benefits. Looking for a better job has become my new side hustle!
I work for a state wide credit union. Since we got this new manager, work went from tolerable to insufferable. Actively putting out applications but have had thoughts daily to just drop my laptop at his desk and flipping him off. But... baby got bills and I want to do this right.
Management and the Toxicity it's just becoming so overwhelming. I've been at this company for only about 7 months and people are seeing the change in me. They say why do you look so sad or your not that Happy person im used to seeing and it's demoralizing. I want to enjoy my life and my Children. At the same time I do need the money because Bills not only don't stop but there rising 😢. But if I had Management who Communicates or just even acknowledged me i would be interested but who's to say. I am not one to kiss anyone a** at all 💯 and I will not ever. Just ready to move on 💯 I love listening and watching your videos and I think you're so Beautiful 😘 Enjoy your day 🙏🏾
Actually people don't quit their jobs but quit seeing toxic managers and toxic work place, just from quitting my government job due to a very rude, gaslighting, and toxic manager. I felt into serious depression and anxiety. His level of micromanaging was awful 😢. He is always right and you wrong. I tried putting up with that and couldn't compromise my mental health for the idiot. I quit and felt so relieved 😊
I have had micormanagers. Been there. Done that. Quit that. It takes a serious toll on your mental and physical health. I'm not doing that. I don't blams you. I hope you are doing well now. Thank you for watching my video.
I quit my 9-5 2 months ago. Unemployed and happy as hell. My anxiety is non existent now when I was having panic attacks literally every day at work. I am about to start back working but I will only accept working gigs where I can pick and choose when to work. I am about to substitute teach and work at a hotel as a banquet server on call. I will do this while working on my own business.
Working a 2-3 person job and being expected to get them done like there’s 2-3 people there has BEEN tiring for the last 7+ years I’ve been working. I can only imagine people who’ve been working 30+ years…but they “don’t have enough hours” for someone to be there to help me but management can sure watch me run around and bark at me that a customer is at the register when I’m changing trash or cleaning tables and dishes.
Those of us who are older should know it's changed over the last 20-30 years. There are significantly less people working but more productivity. Most are doing the work of 2-3 people which is why everyone is tired & over it all. They are not trying to employ enough people.
Oh, I feel that last kid, man!!!! All the work is done but you have to STAY that is nuts!!! I leave work at work but I hate that I can't just leave when work is done.
The way this sounds, its like as if though in the future a majority of people will become homeless unless politians and businesses make some kind of changes.
Did you see that one video where this old man worked for either a gas company or a convenience store for 50 years and all he got in recognition was just an generic email? I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.
@@BREEZYM6015 I deal table games and make more than that because of great tips. Been dealing since February, easier job I ever had in my life. I feel like I am barely working but making a decent income
Oh Lord, he has never lied, as the sun sets on Sunday, anxiety sets in for me for the upcoming work week. I feel the same way. My husband and I. I literally emotionally and mentally quit my job everyday. I feel that I am very close to physically quitting my job. I don’t know the day or time but my job is very stressful too the point that it takes away from me emotionally and mentally. I am a perfectionist when a stellar work ethic but I don’t work well being micromanaged. Working 5 days a week and 2 off isn’t enough for my mental reset any longer. I go through way too much throughout the week to only have 2 days off. It’s horrible! So I get it!

Hey there i love your program and i have a 9 -5 job it pays well ps i also have a crush 😍 on you
Where is your 👒 love to see you in it
@@ThisBahamianGyal Can you talk about struggles in call center jobs?
People are tired of living just to work and still not be able to afford basic necessities.
@@svetlanaandrasova6086 life hard so you gotta go harder . You probably think being an entrepreneur is easier
@@s_cuttno. Work smarter, not harder. Harder won't get you to the top
@@spleens7831 hard work beats talent homie
Well everybody should get a sugar daddy
But what is the alternative? Not everybody is an entrepreneur and that might not be any easier or make more money. it’s either Work, be an entrepreneur or be homeless. The Bible says if a man doesn’t work, he doesn’t eat.
People are tired of the toxic workplace. These sadistic management and coworkers are the number one reason people are leaving.
Better believe it!
I think a lot of people view the job market in a silo.
You work for a corporation. That corporation’s sole objective is to survive. Money is a crucial part of its survival.
Now if that corporation houses staff that have to be highly paid, well looked after (which is expensive ), a great physical work environment, pensions & the like, the high taxes that that corporation pays to have you there… people at some point, corporations will explode! This is why you’re seeing so many layoffs.
I think a lot of employees are overly entitled. That corporation was built by one very brave person who had an idea.
You as the employee is not owed all these luxuries simply for working there. That business can go bust at any minute, and at that point, with so many employees & so little with the ability to start & maintain companies.. where does society stand?
Once an employee gets out there and tries to run a business on their own they’ll be able to view the corporations that employ them with more empathy. Honestly, we are all quite fortunate to have corporations that can consistently pull in revenue over decades. With no corporations, we have NO WORK!

40? you are lucky if that's all you have to do. i've had to work 50,60,70, even 80hrs a week before. there were days i went in to work at like 6am and didn't get off until 10pm at night!
@@BackyardAquatics-o2m 80? You had it good. I had to wake up before I went to sleep.

@@Anelipka sounds about right these days. I mean at my last job I literally had 1-2hrs before bed every night. what kind of life is that?....and people wonder why people choose to be homeless. they have more freedom than people that work all the time.
DO NOT...sign me up.
I have walked out on a job with absolutely nothing lined up. When you're tired of dealing with attitudes from management and that workplace, you will walk.
I’m the same way because ain’t no point of arguing imma just leave
I've done that twice and always ended up with a job that paid way more
I have done it twice and survived
Many people experience a rise in stress, anxiety, and even depression when they think about returning to work on Monday. I call it the Sunday Night Blues.
Mine started Friday night, as soon as the weekend started... like, is the weekend gonna feel long enough 😢 that's when I knew it was time to Go
@@pysq8 Sorry to hear that, what a way to enter the weekend, filled with dread! Glad that you took care of yourself.
They want you to be stressed out of your mind, to be worried about affording your home and supporting your family, on top of that they will create conflicts at work to make your life even more sour
In teaching, I call it the Sunday Scarries!
@@Dallas3212 Yes, indeed, teachers are most stressed than ever. I sense it is not because of teaching, of pupils that don't listen or misbehave but because of other factors created by the government, school board and their finances( low salary, inflation, etc). Teachers salary used to be good enough to afford a decent life but not anymore these days
I'm gen X and was told to get a good job with benefits and hang on to it. I did for 28 years. I worked for a supermarket, and I quit because the management was awful, and they didn't respect my work-home balance. I used to hate every day I went to work and my coworkers. My side hustle became my main income. I don't regret quitting for a minute. Life is to short to let your job steal your joy.
What is your side hustle?
Selling 💃
What’s your side hustle x2?
These "managers" will drive you crazy.
I work for the postal service, and the sheer number of incompetence that management has is alarming. There seems to be zero accountability, barely any training, and a copious amount of callouts from younger folks. I am trying to pivot to a different position and different employer entirely at this point. I just hate the environment that is fostered there.
There was a time a postal job had great benefits and pay, now the pendulum has swung to the opposite.
That sounds like my previous work situation.
worked there 3 years myself. the pay is decent but that is your whole life. i was working 60-80hrs a week never any time off for myself. now with amazon they even had us working sundays. it was bad enough we had to work every saturday. 6-7 days a week is ridiculous for any job. life is more important outside of work. get out of there and find something else where you can actually live a life.
That makes me sad because generally, I love postal workers and what you guys do you us
@@Kiyonce.Kartier they could make it a good job if they wanted to but they don't. they wanna work everyone into the ground. do 12hrs of work in 8hrs...1 person do the amount of work it would take 3 people to do...never take any time off work...work every holiday almost....work every weekend....management does nothing but boss people around and waste time on stupid zoom meetings every day. to get done in 10-12hrs you are forced to cut corners then that causes issues with customers... they won't hire enough people to work just like every job out there now.....basically they want you to work 12-15hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Reasons - health, anxiety, stress, sleeplessness, all convos are trauma bonding with colleagues and personality becoming more and more cynical. After quitting, all these problems went within a week. Peace of mind is a MUST !!!!
omg! the trauma bonding convos sounds exactly like teaching! ugh!
I think I need to get a job at Wells Fargo.... If an employee sat in his cubicle for 4 days dead and no one noticed, they OBVIOUSLY don't micromanage... IJS😆
@@jamesharris2615
I'm just so shocked that ...a workmate is dead for four days in the office and no one missed her? This says a lot about the company, and team-mates too.. Seriously no one missed her...and not even the line manager 🙄 Wow!
So many factors with that employee. I feel so bad that 4 days went by. With a lot of the changes that a lot of corporate jobs are implementing (ex. strict RTO), I'd be wary.
I don't recommend it at least on the teller side 😅
😂😂
I hate to laugh but it’s funny and true
was burnt out from academia and no work-life balance - now in retail, a lot happier knowing I dont have a thing to do once I clock off. bit of a pay decrease, but it's worth it right now for me.
Can't say I blame you. I have read so many articles that featured individuals in academia who talked about the serious mental and emotional toll those environments took on them.
Only a bit of a pay decrease? Sounds accurate for academia!
Ironically, I was just talking about this to someone a few days ago. I am in management and it is what I love to do. I enjoy watching my team grow. I believe in ACTIVELY listening and challenging them to look at certain situations with a different perspective. I stand for what's right, not what's popular. I believe in accountability. If I'm wrong, I own it and I apologize. I have worked for some AWFUL leaders and although I loved my job, I left because I couldn't deal with the management.
You sound like the type of manager I love. I have been a manager many times and like you, I was not afraid to apologize to my team if I were wrong. I also love being in a team and working towards a common goal. It's sad that your leaders weren't good.
Millennial here. Something changed my brain chemistry when the lockdowns hit, and that same year a new CEO was appointed in the organization I worked with. He was well-known in the industry as a major d-bag, so everyone was stunned when he got the job. Business partners were pulling out left and right, and close connections no longer wanted to be associated with us. I'd say 85% of the staff quit, myself included due to incompetence from the guy, and I already picked up whiffs of something foul going on behind the scenes. Tried finding new jobs, but discovered that I could no longer stand the commute and office environments. Took some time off while working part-time, and now I'm freelancing full-time. I will never work in an office again!
Good for you!! The decision to never go back to the office is LIBERATING!
Good luck. I hope it will work out for you without having to take an office job again
Yep! My friend who is an engineer with Amazon will NOT go into the office. * They are requiring that those working from home come to the office allllll week.*
@@wellthatgotweird They want people back in the office because they are a bunch of control freaks who want to monitor everything workers do., how they dress, what they eat... Everything. This is also the reason why they changed the cubicles environment to an open office, an environment without any privacy. The only place you can have some privacy is the toilet(even this might not be the case everywhere)
@@wellthatgotweird I live near Seattle and the city is pushing all employers to have their entire staff come back into the office to help revitalize the city. Has nothing to do with collaboration. It has to due with increasing the revenue in the city. Spend money on gas, parking, coffee, food, public transit etc. to help with the budget deficit the city is facing. They don’t care about the insane commute or their employees work life balance. It’s 100% political. Hopefully your friend will be able to keep their job.
Quitting is cheaper & more proactive than bail or getting arrested .
Yeah but the risk is worth the reward.
I think a lot of the burnout directly correlates to the fact that wages are not keeping up with inflation. I know I have personally had jobs that were extremely demanding of my time & energy, but I was making really good money. In that case I was a lot more willing to put up with BS & BS managers. At that time I had enough money to live comfortably & fund my dreams & hobbies outside of work. But when you are working a shit ton of hours & barely able to scrape by, the burnout is real. I lose the will to work when it is like sacrificing my life to barely even scrape by. It is a miserable feeling.
@SugaryPhoenixxx yes to all of that!! What use to be "good pay" is barely cutting it now, esp for those who've been working the jobs for a decade+ -- I'm even seeing my husband who ALWAYS loved his job, despise it because what use to be great pay doesn't match what he feels is "worth it" anymore.
As someone who's about to graduate from University and join the job hunt, I've been keeping an eye on all these 9-5 Job TikToks and it has me geniunely terrified. I had an internship at this company which was great. Everyone was nice and management knew what they were doing and how to properly communicate. Then I realized workplaces like these are few and far between. Now I am afraid whatever job I land will be toxic and burn me out to the point where I have no energy to pursue my hobbies and interests outside of work. As a creative person, having no energy to do your hobbies sounds like a nightmare.
The 40 hours alone will do that to you- haven’t made art in a few years 😢
I would suggest not working 9-5 hours. The stress of the commute makes it even worse. It turns an 8 hour workday into a 10 hr day
Nightmare is the right word for it 😞
Sleepwalking through life is one
Bad management, along with insane commutes, prices for essentials going up, unpaid bills…. I totally see why people are doing this
Yes! I’m there. My resignation letter is typed and on my laptop. I’m just tired of being overworked, under paid and doing other people’s work!!!
I feel you, babes. Thanks for weighing in.
Me too since March...lol
Me too lol
I got fed up five years ago and quit my prior career. I became a pastor. I am happy. No work or calling us perfect, but I don't dread work anymore.
I've hated pretty much most of my jobs, especially call centers. I've recently lost my job at one due to a dip in performance due to burnout, and haven't felt better. I was actually thinking that not being here on earth anymore was a better alternative than being their. I just hope the next job I get won't be as bad, but I'm truly sick of working for others and am now working on creating my own opportunities.
"I was actually thinking that not being here on earth anymore was a better alternative than being their."
Absolutely not. Don't ever let a job drive you to that point because screw them and that stank job. Live your life and pave your way. You got what you need to make it right with you.
Work has gotten worse since COVID. There will be a mass exodus from jobs next year. My experience has always been because of Management, not money. It is always the people.
I had a supervisor like that had no experience with people
she was promoted from being a secretary . And had know idea on how the supervise .They want the money not the
responsibility ,
People like this will run you out of a job 😭. And they'll likely be at theirs till they die.
@@tiffanykim2773truth! And in government, where the main roles are mostly men, the powers that be will put a man in charge over the roles typically filled by women. Even if that man knows nothing about the job!
I quit my boss for a similar reason
9 to 5's are comfortable and there's nothing wrong with that. A lot of people just want to get out of school, get into a work place, cop some benefits and call it a day. Sadly a lot of those people are also just working to pay bills, can't even get the time off to relax or use a lot of those benefits when needed so it's almost a waste. A waste of life, talent, skill of everything and previous generations probably never realized this until it was too late while newer generations are starting to understand this now and they're speaking out about it. It's a sad situation all around honestly.
I work at Dollar Tree, I don't get paid much, but my manager is very nice. She's understanding, lenient, and is cleanly and organized. I plan on leaving in a couple of months, and I feel bad about it a little bad about it because she's such a good boss. But unfortunately, at the end of the day the income is not enough.
I quit my last job without notice last November. It had been building up inside me and a manager did something so egregious that I was done. It was a decent pay job that I hated going to. No, I had nothing else lined up. I took 3 months before I decided to look for another job (was in a decent situation financially at the time). Currently earning less but feel respected usually. Much less toxic atmosphere. Much less corporatey. It's a local company, and I prefer that.
I can't say I blame you. Environment is everything to me. Peace of mind is everything to me. I would take a pay cut for peace of mind. Thanks for sharing your story and I am so happy you are in a much better place.
This channel is very organized, you have such good presentation skills!
Thank you so much, Blue Goat! I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
I used to work at McDonalds about two years ago. Way back in 2022. It was my first job actually. I was 18-years-old at the time. I was only there for three months and after that short time, I quit. My former manager there was literally a monster. She was vicious, angry, and just a very incompetent manager in general. She had the most nattiest attitude ever. She treated me, and the rest of her employees like trash. I didn’t have enough courage to speak out about the way I was being treated though unfortunately. She would also yell at me in front of customers and embarrass me. I couldn’t take the verbal abuse any more and mustered up enough courage to quit. Forget putting in a two week notice. I quit in the spot. I felt so good both mentally and physically after making my departure from that toxic work environment.
@@kamrynherring1048 good
I’m so glad that u were able to get out of a toxic situation like that, the manager is probably a bitter and nasty woman but she has no right to take it out on other ppl just trying to do their job, I hope ur doing so much better nowadays ❤❤
I worked fast food once and the manager had anger issues. He would yell in my face and have such anger towards me. I wasn’t sure if he showed up to work drunk or what. I stayed there for a while but I had to leave.
@@katythebeauty330 I'm so sorry you experienced that with your former manager.. How horrible for him to verbally abuse you in such a egregious manner like that. I'm glad you left. Being verbally abused and humiliated at a job is the worst experience ever. My old manager was like that with me, and the rest of my coworkers unfortunately.
Sick of working for people.
I was going through training for the postal office. The trainer kept repeating "for the first year or so, you will be working 7 days a week & you might be in the field until 9 pm and if we need you to help someone else with their truck, you can't go home until they're done too" I promise you I did not show back up the next day......
And I do not blame you one bit!!! Are they insane???!!! Swven days a week until 9pm in some cases. They were looking for a slave and an idiot. I would not have shown up the next day either.

Thanks everyone for your comments it helps!! Best of luck!
You nailed it with the "bad management" statement. 🎯🎯🎯
I used to believe that I have ADHD (diagnosed), but now I realize that modern life has become so unmanageable that I’m being gas-lit into thinking I have it. Companies don’t care about our mental & emotional energy.
Also I another reason why people are quitting is due to RUDE CUSTOMERS. Aka all the karens and kevins/kens out there. I work in a retail store and I see a HUGE increase in rude customers!
I work at Target and I absolutely hate it lol. Over-working, no benefits, not enough staff, and horrible management. This week is my last week I can’t take it anymore.
@@Heavensent2001 I quit target some years ago .
I agree it’s a cheap company overworked employees and I hated carrying the walkie talkie around.
I LITERALLY quit my 9-5 two days ago with no back up plan. I worked from home but honestly, could NOT do it anymore.
I completely understand, believe me. I have been there. I remeber my mental health taking a serious toll. I had to go. Thanks for watching and I hope you are doing much better.
We need a full session on burnout… it is a real issue often downplayed in work environment. People develop serious diseases, mental illness or even die because of it …
Absolutely. I want to have that conversation. Will try to get an expert on to discuss.
I stayed at a job at McDonalds for over a year. From eleventh to graduation. I was sexually harassed twice at that store, management didn't do shit because I was a guy, and I kept actively looking for jobs because my mom wouldn't let me quit. Then they wouldn't let me come back to work for several months because of possible seizures, and I didn't come back until after I graduated (Believe me, life was bliss without having to constantly be at work) because they needed a doctor's note. Then they fired me for one bad day.
Plus a lot of these jobs say they're hiring but never want to hire anyone.
Your last sentence is so very true
I have quit with nothing lined up...and the peace it gives..but u should have a strong faith and willing to hustle in the interim....but it's necessary sometimes truly...health truly is wealth🎯
I'm about to quit mine and walk across that border.... free hotel room and thousands in food for free.
Why the hell am I working and struggling when all these other people get to just eat and play video games all day?????
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You need money for it
That Sunday Night Dread is no joke. I get it every Sunday night around 4-5pm😢 Just thinking about going back to the sickness that is my job, my soul starts to leave my body. It never used to be to be like this for me. What happened?? I hate the management, my coworkers, the low pay, and being burnt out at the end of every single day.
I had this horrible manger that forced, yes, forced us to stay past our hours to get stuff done.
When I was sick, she didn't care (still walked out, though) she was fake nice and did nothing. I was about to leave and apply for McDonald's. It was basically the same pay over there. Then suddenly she retired and we got a new manager. The total opposite of her. Now, I don't mind going to work, and I feel less anxious than what I used to feel.
All people really ask is a livable wage and a competent manger. which is the bare minimum.
You are right. That is the bare minimum. The girl in my video was so right about calling out sick and how it gives so many people anxiety. Forcing people to stay behind is a huge no-no.
I've worked for a Fortune 50 company for 15+ years and had all types of bosses but the ones that I've respected the most were the ones who trusted their teams and also respected the fact that their teams needed to have that work/life balance. Those bosses get the extra mile from me and I'll happily follow them around the business into roles than I'm not sure about because i know they're going to do right by me and the rest of the team.
I looooooove leaders like that. A boss who shows they care about me will get EVERYTHING from me. But, if you show me that I mean nothing.....yeah, that's a wrap.
I find it interesting that with many people leaving work yet I am unable to get hired.
I’ve had a few managers think they could put their hands on me, managers that would lie, managers that would falsify writeups out of pettiness, all sorts of shit in the last few years. Im just over management in general.
I am the same way; sometimes the Sunday anxiety make me physically ill. I have cancer and I am working fulltime to keep my health insurance. So I will probably die while employed because I need the health coverage. Nobody cares, least of all your workplace and I work for a hospital.
The way my heart just broke reading this. I am so so sorry about everything you are going through. That is the worst feeling - being forced to keep a job that you dread just because you need to keep your insurance. I will keep you in my prayers. I really mean that. 💜💜💜
Sweetie, it isn't heath care, it's pharmacare. They don't care about you, they will bleed you dry and have not a care when you are gone. My deepest and most sincere condolences. I left the field after 25 years. It's horribly toxic.
The suits forget who are the ones that actually make the money! They try to keep you with “you’re so amazing. We are going to give you a 6.5% raise 😃. Thank you for your hard work”
That’s way more than I got this year 3.75 performance increase. And my performance was rated very good. No cost of living increase ever.

@@mosimosi630Aww. Thank you for asking. I actually ended up resigning from that job. My personal ethics just couldn’t take it anymore. BUT, I have a recruiter who found my a better position, making more money, and most importantly- I’m not trying to justify hurting people with lame excuses about it “just being a job.” I’m also DoorDashing to save up enough money to start my own conflict resolution practice.
I run my own business now and while I don't make much my peace of mind (after some work lol) is in a much better spot.
What do you do now?
It says ALOT when people are quitting their jobs in THIS economy
Yes, it really does. I seriously doubt most people would give up on money on a whim. They have to be at their wit's end.
The job I left had employees to 8 years with no raises whatsoever. I was there almost 3 years before quitting. My new position has promotional raises and cost of living raises each year.
Omg it’s ridiculous it’s so depressing the workplace is so toxic and causes a great deal of anxiety and stress
Two years, after a promised promotion and seeing two people, new, hired for what I was promised, it’s time to look elsewhere. I know my worth and ability. But I will not quit without another job first. ❤
Employers are horrible! Who would want to work for them?
This past Thursday I started a new job after leaving where I had been working for over 4 years. Left because of pay and toxicity. It has been a a weight lifted off my shoulders.

I too was hating my life, losing sleep, feeling miserable, when I finally decided to take early retirement next year, I started feeling a whole lot better. I also work remote, but I’m literally tied to my desk all day long on a headset. They can see every thing we do and even post our bathroom breaks for all to see. Micromanaging to the max!!

Been wanting to quit my job at Walmart after almost 20 years of service. Currently on the start my 20th year now. I'm tired of retail and I stuck it out long enough and gave everything I have and slowly I'm becoming more assertive about my time for myself. Even now with benefits I'm living paycheck to paycheck given all my money goes to essentials and nothing more. I want my weekends back too without having to take vacation for them because whenever I want to see my friends and family I can't because almost all of them have their weekends and even holidays off and I don't.
I am so glad I work for the company that i do.. they are good to us and time off is something i don't have to argue with anyone about.. i get a set amount of time off every year to use as i please as long as the hours are available on the calendar.. i have been there for 30 years next year and 6 more years til i retire.. blessed.. life has still been hard, me and hubby struggled when we were dating and then married with kids BUT we never lost faith and as long as we had a roof over our heads, bills paid and food for the kids, we were just fine..boys are grown and older and we are still doing well.. blessed
I quit my job in March due to poor management and ridiculous demands. End of 2023, I was awarded Employee of the Year and was granted a 3% raise for performance. Meanwhile, my rent increased by 16% that same year.
That’s sickening!!! I hope you’re doing well.
So I have made this move. After 16 ish years of working in public education as a school psy, I left to do remote work. I like remote work a heck of a lot more, but I am about to cut back again because I now see the bs is global. I am a remote psychologist but many districts want to work me like I'm full time with benefits and pension....No thanks. I escape that plantation. I do like feeling empowered to step away even if it means I have to reduce some personal spending because dang it feels good to say...."I have to work, but I don't have to work for you."...
I was at a Job for over 10 years had 800 plus PTO hours. They fought me to take time off. HR is not Pro employee they are Pro Employer.
Hope you got to use it or got that paid out. I knew someone that stacked their vacation time, was laid off due to COVID and didn’t receive a dime of it.
I thought it was just me. I keep getting videos in my feed from people talking about quitting their job and I've watched a few just to understand why. I find that it's really a thing because even at my job the young people call in so much it's like damn they might as well just quit.
Many people, myself included, are quitting due to companies downsizing but still demanding the same amount of work. Idk how tf they figure that overworking employees equates to better efficiency, especially when best workers are jumping ship left and right. Burnout seems to be a corporate trend these days.
U will NEVER find true happiness in a JOB bc it cannot make ur spirit whole.👀
(For those who have ears, let them hear.)
I recently quit my job of 5 years with no backup because my manager was going to increase my already overwhelming workload....and in addition, the higher position I had been promised for over a year was no longer available due to changes in corporate that my management wasn't previously aware of. I feel like the universe is working for me--as the saying goes "one door closes another opens."
My clients tell me lots about their horrible managers, coworkers and they're fed up and quitting etc. I don't blame them, I'd have less love for my job if i was under terrible management
I'm quitting tomorrow. Not even interested in talking to my supervisor again about the reasons. Just going straight to HR. I have no backup plan in place but God will provide and I will have peace of mind. ☮️
I will definitely pray that something great comes through for you! I have quit before with no back-up plan. It was the best thing I could have ever done. I would have dropped dead on that job. I know it.
I got fired 3 years ago and I haven't been able to land another work at home job since. I refuse to work another public facing job. I'm in big trouble.
Would you be open to moving to another city/state. Please don't lose hope.
@@ThisBahamianGyal Probably if my mother unfortunately perishes. She's disabled and she's been helping me since I help her; cooking, cleaning, yard maintenance etc. She's been very patient with me. But I don't want to live with her forever.
I had a manager tell me "we need more queer people working here" and seeing as i was one of 2 out of 10 employees that _wasn't_ ...i knew the comment was directed at me. I didn't know how to respond. A few weeks later he replaced me with one of his male lovers. Told me i misgendered a person (who literally never introduced themselves to me), and that i didn't have the right vibe, despite my having worked there for 5 years, and him being manager for 6 months at that point. ☠
💀
Sue the company.
@@hotpotts I first misread it as him telling you you didn't t have "the right to vibe".i totally saw the scene of your gay ex boss trying to deny you that, hilarious. 😂 I m sorry or rather happy for you you re freed from working for this douche. I actually read this summary of a study summary yesterday finding that gay and straight equally hate women to the same degree,it was impossible to gconclude anything about their sexual orientation based on the levels of misogyny both groups have. I found it bc I recently find all these dudes really hating women and applauding each other for it, and figured that straight men hating women justjust would be a disadvantage in terms of biology and species survival, so those men who don't t like women maybe actually secretly like men? But looking closely men actually don't t like men either, they re quite a menace to everyone, including themselves. Maybe we actually were this sexless species living in peace and serenity and harmony with all life, until some alien parasite came down with an Asteroid, and turned the infected individuals are controlled by the parasite(in Germany there was this whole cedy movie about a guy s dick talking to him and constantly talking him into fucking some girl. Or stupid or someone up. There s also. This expression of men not thinking with their docks etc) into blood thirsty, strong, aggressive, violent and carnivore killer machines obsessed with spreading the seed(parasite)throughout.the galaxy, without empathy unable to carry a pregnancy themselves anymore but capable to provide the male gametes with their and the parasites DNA into a child while killing they re species, themselves and all other life that s on or in it's way. Bc then it would all at least make some sense. But this is just so sad somehow.
thats illegal as all hell
Jesus...
Another great video. I love the amount that you actually vary your content. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Most of the jobs I’ve quit were because of the THREE reasons you mentioned in this video! Girl you got it!
I quit because my job was getting too stressful. At least once a week, my manager would have some complaints or something to criticize about my work or attitude. And if someone commented about me, then the manager would believe that person and wouldn't even listen to my side of the story. Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore.
Weird how wages never increase with inflation, or if it does its nowhere close to being livable. If I lost my job today I'd be devastated, been trying to work on my savings, all I can say is happiness is important, but money is as well, it's hard to find a middle ground with those things at a regular job.
I have been fortunate to be at jobs that took inflation into account and would raise our salaries. But, those companies are few and far between.
My job did 8% last year not sure what this year will be
I quit my last job without one lined up. They messed up 2 checks, gave me a 0.25$ raise and kept me in training after 6 months. I walked in with 20yrs experience in the industry!! I told my supervisor that a year or more of “training “ reflects on poor management.
The week I quit was spent looking for a new job. I had full availability for interviews. I had a few job offers by end of week.
I’m about to do it again. The place I’m at now is dragging feet hiring me full time with benefits.
Looking for a better job has become my new side hustle!
I don't blame you. I hope you get a great job opportunity...one that makes you happy.
I work for a state wide credit union. Since we got this new manager, work went from tolerable to insufferable. Actively putting out applications but have had thoughts daily to just drop my laptop at his desk and flipping him off. But... baby got bills and I want to do this right.
Management and the Toxicity it's just becoming so overwhelming. I've been at this company for only about 7 months and people are seeing the change in me. They say why do you look so sad or your not that Happy person im used to seeing and it's demoralizing. I want to enjoy my life and my Children. At the same time I do need the money because Bills not only don't stop but there rising 😢. But if I had Management who Communicates or just even acknowledged me i would be interested but who's to say. I am not one to kiss anyone a** at all 💯 and I will not ever. Just ready to move on 💯 I love listening and watching your videos and I think you're so Beautiful 😘 Enjoy your day 🙏🏾
Life was not supposed to be this way.
Actually people don't quit their jobs but quit seeing toxic managers and toxic work place, just from quitting my government job due to a very rude, gaslighting, and toxic manager. I felt into serious depression and anxiety. His level of micromanaging was awful 😢. He is always right and you wrong. I tried putting up with that and couldn't compromise my mental health for the idiot. I quit and felt so relieved 😊
I have had micormanagers. Been there. Done that. Quit that. It takes a serious toll on your mental and physical health. I'm not doing that. I don't blams you. I hope you are doing well now. Thank you for watching my video.
Was your boss's name Barbara White by any chance?
I think you are right the numbers are higher. I know so many people who have left their jobs this year.
I quit my 9-5 2 months ago. Unemployed and happy as hell. My anxiety is non existent now when I was having panic attacks literally every day at work.
I am about to start back working but I will only accept working gigs where I can pick and choose when to work. I am about to substitute teach and work at a hotel as a banquet server on call. I will do this while working on my own business.
This is crazy! I'm living this life! and working (3) jobs. Been at my full time job 18 years I shouldn't need anymore!
Working a 2-3 person job and being expected to get them done like there’s 2-3 people there has BEEN tiring for the last 7+ years I’ve been working. I can only imagine people who’ve been working 30+ years…but they “don’t have enough hours” for someone to be there to help me but management can sure watch me run around and bark at me that a customer is at the register when I’m changing trash or cleaning tables and dishes.
Those of us who are older should know it's changed over the last 20-30 years. There are significantly less people working but more productivity. Most are doing the work of 2-3 people which is why everyone is tired & over it all. They are not trying to employ enough people.
Been looking for work for 7 years after quitting thinking I'd make it out here, I'd do anything for a job today...
I quit a month ago without having another job lined up because of being overworked and unappreciated at work.
@@alaziaklexos i dont blame you. I left a job in January and didn't work for 7 months. It was the BEST
@alaziaklexos So, how are you paying your bills?
@TexasMade903 Living off of my savings
Oh, I feel that last kid, man!!!! All the work is done but you have to STAY that is nuts!!! I leave work at work but I hate that I can't just leave when work is done.
The way this sounds, its like as if though in the future a majority of people will become homeless unless politians and businesses make some kind of changes.
The “Sunday scaries” are real 😵💫 I started working on Sunday’s as a workaround. I’ll soon be working seven days a week.
Bring back 4/10’s and you can take Wednesday’s off. I also did 9/4/5.
I'm off on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Did you see that one video where this old man worked for either a gas company or a convenience store for 50 years and all he got in recognition was just an generic email?
I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.
That’s why I retired when I did. Been almost 15 years. I know that Sunday sundown dread. Just mentally could NOT do it anymore.
I’ve been at my job for 16 years and I’m torn on leaving and going somewhere else.. my anxiety and anxious has got out of control.
It’s never a bad thing to put your feelers out. Only leave when you get the perfect offer that works for you.
I work four days a week full-time making $28 an hour. I'm not complaining. 😂
People think quitting a job and becoming entrepreneurs is going to be easier 😂
lol what’s your job position?
Nicee
@@BREEZYM6015 I deal table games and make more than that because of great tips. Been dealing since February, easier job I ever had in my life. I feel like I am barely working but making a decent income
Diane at Home Depot circa 2011.
She was AWFUL. Made everyone's life a living hell because she needed a power trip.
Oh Lord, he has never lied, as the sun sets on Sunday, anxiety sets in for me for the upcoming work week. I feel the same way. My husband and I. I literally emotionally and mentally quit my job everyday. I feel that I am very close to physically quitting my job. I don’t know the day or time but my job is very stressful too the point that it takes away from me emotionally and mentally. I am a perfectionist when a stellar work ethic but I don’t work well being micromanaged. Working 5 days a week and 2 off isn’t enough for my mental reset any longer. I go through way too much throughout the week to only have 2 days off. It’s horrible! So I get it!
