Most likely. She mentions in an earlier skit, to Brenda no less, that her husband was always working and that he promised that "someday" they'd get to travel and enjoy life. He died before that happened. That loss no doubt taught her alot.
i love that donna sue doesn't tell you what to do. she just listens, gives you space to vent, doesn't judge or even holds suffering olympics. donna sue is the kind of friend i aspire to be
Omg "suffering Olympics", this is such a good name for it! I used to work in such a toxic workplace and they used to do that all the time. Along with implying (behind people's backs) that everyone else's aliment wasn't even real, or if it was, that it wasn't really that bad. I'm so glad to be rid of that place! Thanks for the new term!
Eh, I've definitely quit jobs and mangers previously. I'm lucky to be quite personable myself, so I've never had to quit co-workers. Quitting jobs doesn't necessarily mean the job is bad, it can just mean you've learned all you can and it's time to move on.
Staying too long in a job is a common problem. It’s difficult to give up what you know for something that you aren’t sure of. There really isn’t a great answer to this problem.
I'm leaving my job soon for a supposedly better one. I can't stand the class structure that stresses out me and the students for no good reason, and need a different one to teach
@@3katfoxIt is a difficult choice, but consider that it is easier to find a job if you already have one. You can be a little more choosey and less stressed since you are not without income. Good luck! 🤞
The people you work with are ABSOLUTELY more important than what you work on. Give me a boring, mindless, pointless project with solid coworkers over the most stimulating, exciting project with toxic people ANY day.
well, yes, but i'd rather have a meaningful job with colleagues i don't really click with much, rather than a boring and pointless job with colleagues that i'm friends with.
I stayed at my first job too long because I liked my coworkers and it was super easy. It was to the point where I did about 4 hours of work or less most days but there was no upword growth opportunities. I have told some of my younger colleagues that one of my regrets was staying in that job for 8 years. I think there would have been more career growth if I had job hopped. At the same time being at the stable job for 8 years allowed me to buy a house during the 2008 financial crisis. So its a mixed bag.
It is not always about career growth. There is something about being satisfied with your job. As long as you make enough to live comfortably while building a nice retirement fund; Is there a need to get a higher position? Being a professional contractor, I sometimes wonder if a nice long career would have been better than the 7 year rotations (length of my usual contracts). Granted I was always lucky to be making slightly above the mean.
Go get yourself a big fat bank account before thinking of moving on to the greener pastures. You never know if the green grass you see on the other side are really green grass and not the plastic green grass. Don't burn bridges on your way out. You might need them someday if you wanted to go back.
I just left an account I've been working for for 5 years. And it turned out there were 20+ people I liked to work with. Even though I hated the work for last 6-8 months, I will definitely miss some of the good people.
@@FlyHighShootStraight I'm slowly planning new adventure outside of corporate :D. Even though some people are great, generally corporate world drains myself too much.
There's no reason to lose contact with the now-former coworkers with whom you liked to work. I quit a job about 10 years after I should have, and am still good friends with a handful of people with whom I worked the first few years -- and even some of the later coworkers. There are a few others who I hope, for my own sake, I don't care to see again under any kind of circumstances, but most of the rest are a nameless, faceless blur.
I really needed to hear something like this right now. I've gotten to the point where I've been thinking about quitting my job several times a day due to stress caused by management. Honestly, the only reason I haven't given in my notice is that it's easier to get a new job while already employed, and trust me, I'm looking.
It's also way less stressful on your finances to move right into another position. That said, if management is being particularly bitchy, keep in mind that two weeks notices are only customary, not mandatory ;)
This makes me smile - Donna Sue should be running the company - not working in it - her decency and common sense (and the intelligence that she conceals well) make her an asset to any company that has the good fortune to employ her !
I can relate this as I’ve suffer career existential crisis with my previous work. It’s not bad per se; I go to work, get paid and not forced to do OT or go an extra mile. But at some point I find myself wanting more, to give myself a sense of purpose while being rewarded. I tried pursuing other paths within the organization but its all for naught as its either I’m rewarded with more work for the same pay or a higher pay but locked by unmet internal requirements.
We all have gone thru an existential crisis such as that in our lives. I myself kinda kick myself for not moving past some of my past jobs and staying because I was comfortable with who I worked with as well till eventually the shit stacked too high for me to continue to willingly wade thru it daily and I just had to go. Make your choice and make it well! Really thoroughly assess your life before making a decision like this but if it's right for you then hit that "fuck it" button and move on.
I teared up a little watching this. iv gone through this with my previous job (i was in food service) it took a while but i finally put my notice in and it was very emotional for me, I'd been with the company for 7 years but the last three just got really difficult the only reason i stayed were my few coworkers whom im close with, it felt awkward not having a purpose (so to speak) for a while but i found another job its a better fit so far. The funny thing now is after some time passed iv bumped into our regular customers in town and every single one has made the comment i was looking so much better happier and less stressed they've said they miss the service but are happy that im doing better ( ngl i did tear up a bit from some of these conversations) so THANK YOU for this video i hope it hits the same for anyone else watching as it did for me and know your not alone ❤❤❤
In The Hitchhiker's Guide, a millions-years-old robot has lost all functionality but one. Whenever a human speaks to it, it replies, "I believe you." Stuck on a corner in a large city, there's always a line around the block waiting to unburden their hearts. Humorous yet speaking to a basic human need. Donna Sue's take is warmer.
I love it. I have seen so many comments asking where is Donna Sue and suddenly - there she is - giving out some very wise advice. I think Donna Sue is actually quite the Philosopher you know!!
I needed this bc I just talked to my manager about quitting… 1 week into the job. It’s completely unorthodox but, from my various internships, I unfortunately already know my strengths, my working style and possible clashes and where my place is in this world. Thank you
I love the moss that took over my lawn, because it never needs water, and is drought resistant, even when it dries, it comes back every fall. I never water the lawn, if a rescue lawn dies from no water, I don't think it bounces back like moss. I would dye the lawn green or get a moss lawn as a lack of water situation. I think the greenhouse effect on the earth does need to be considered. Moss is a wild lawn so you don't have to mow it either, it is so low maintenance. I LOVE MOSS (IT IS LIKE OUTDOOR CARPET)
I go in with a positive attitude every morning. A few times per week, something happens - middle management’s poor planning results in me working late for free while they go home, one of them makes an unfounded and incorrect criticism and gets annoyed when I provide the fact or evidence that defends me and they never apologize, or one of them has a screaming fit at an hourly worker. They “lead” by always having everyone on the defensive. I am trying to stick it out for another 6 months to meet a specific financial goal. I’m not getting interviews because I am over 60, as evidenced by my graduation year which is required on every application.
My previous company was the worst package ever but there I worked with some great people. Had a good relationship with a lot of people. They were one of the reasons I worked there for a two years
That was how I felt with my old coworkers. We created a discord together and my core group and I try to hang out every few weeks or when we have the time
Oh, I so understand Bethany right now... I think about quitting every day, but then I think that I really like most people I work with and that is definitely not a given. The salary is not bad either and I have a lot of flexibility, but I do not like by tasks anymore. A lot of my projects in the beginning ended and the field changed so much that it doesn't feel interesting for me anymore... If one could only know how it would be somewhere else.
I'd say stay in your job, especially if it pays well and you get on with your collegues. ike you said, it's not a given. Even if your tasks are boring, it's ok. It's a job, and its only purpose is to make you earn money, nothing more. Focus on your personal life. Enjoy time with your family and friends, try new hobbies... I'm a firm believer that a job is just here to pay the bills, but that's just my opinion :) I'm wishing you well, I know those are tough decisions to make, especially in this economy.
Inhave the opposite problem. I love my job but half of my team exclude me regularly. Currently taking some time of to create some distance and then decide what to do.
I love my job, my employer and my boss. However, some of the working conditions can't be easily changed and it's been an extremely frustrating experience for the last 9 years. I could already be retired but we are going through a system upgrade and I care enough about my team not to leave them in a lerch.

That confirms it: Donna Sue is an ex-Brenda who got straightened out and is now a guardian angel for all her co-workers.
This. Interesting take on it!
Most likely. She mentions in an earlier skit, to Brenda no less, that her husband was always working and that he promised that "someday" they'd get to travel and enjoy life. He died before that happened. That loss no doubt taught her alot.
As a southerner, I have to say that your accent is actually pretty damn good! I’ve met plenty of Donna Sue’s in my life.
What part of The South are you from??
i love that donna sue doesn't tell you what to do. she just listens, gives you space to vent, doesn't judge or even holds suffering olympics. donna sue is the kind of friend i aspire to be

@@always12lovemusic oof i'm sorry that happened to you. i hope your new workplace is supportive and healthy
Thanks @@tabathaarria9558 ! The people I work with now are much nicer! 😄
Mama Sue speaks the truth!
She is my favorite. Like a warm hug on a cold day.
We don't quit jobs, we quit managers.
And occasionally coworkers.
@@dutchvanl I quit all of the above.
Eh, I've definitely quit jobs and mangers previously. I'm lucky to be quite personable myself, so I've never had to quit co-workers.

I stayed for the pension but struggled with the manager for a decade
That's what I'm dealing with right now
I'm leaving my job soon for a supposedly better one. I can't stand the class structure that stresses out me and the students for no good reason, and need a different one to teach

well, yes, but i'd rather have a meaningful job with colleagues i don't really click with much, rather than a boring and pointless job with colleagues that i'm friends with.
Donna Sue is and always will be my favorite character. Just love her.
I’ve never heard “the grass is greener where you water it” but it’s so simple and makes so much sense! What a great reframe
There is a book out titled "The Grass is Always Greener over the Septic Tank".
I always love seeing the frienship between Bethanie and Donna Sue!
The timing of this is perfect, I have a weekly existential crisis, the bad thing is that involves more than my job.
I stayed at my first job too long because I liked my coworkers and it was super easy.

Living that reality right now, except for the financial stability part.
Go get yourself a big fat bank account before thinking of moving on to the greener pastures.

Donna Sue is a delightful part of existence
Brenda Sue is the best! She reminds me of Dolly Parton, and the idea that she is a guardian angel works.

I would love to see more of Ned and Jeremy too. I love hilariously clueless incompetence.
PROJECT POODLES FOREVER LOL
Donna Sue is a national treasure. Protect her at all costs.
Hope Bethanie doesn't leave our corporate tv drama
I am Bethanie..Every day. So I always love hearing my Donna Sue. I swear they are real, they are done soo well! 😂
I wish I’d had a Donna Sue. Maybe things would be different.
Mama Sue is that coworker we all need.
Well aware of ups and downs of the organization but willing to make the best out of it ❤
I wish Donna Sue were real and someone I could call!
It's so true about fellow people you work with. I love my boss and appreciate my co-workers.
I love Donna Sue, living her entire life holding a tea cup, a coffee cup, any sort of cup. ❤❤❤
This makes me smile - Donna Sue should be running the company - not working in it - her decency and common sense (and the intelligence that she conceals well) make her an asset to any company that has the good fortune to employ her !

wish i could just hug Sue through the screen. Proper mama hen warmth.

"Everyone's normal is different" As a disabled person, thank you for acknowledging this
I still miss my coworkers from the job i left this time last year
thanks Donna Sue. i needed to hear that
I need a donna sue! And no, Bethany can't leave. We love her
We all need a Mama Sue in our jobs!
I’d like to see Bethany get a different role in the same company, one that inspires her more.
Yes as a Tennessee gal with a strong southern accent I agree. ❤
We all need a Donna Sue
Accent is on point !
So true. The best part of my job is my coworkers.
But if you leave you won't have Mama Sue/Donna Sue with her friendship and wisdom. 😉😉 😊🤗
My previous company was the worst package ever but there I worked with some great people. Had a good relationship with a lot of people. They were one of the reasons I worked there for a two years
Every one needs a Donna sue in their worklife.
But who will be the Donna Sue's Donna Sue then ?
I needed to hear that more than I thought I did.
I love Donna Sue.
Bethanie....remember what the famous columnist Erma Bombeck once said.....The grass is always greener over the septic tank.
This basically sums up my situation. Colleagues are great, my manager, not so much (plus getting paid in peanuts)
There is only one thing that motivates me in my job. Money.
Two of my FAVES.... And Tracy, too. ❤
Damn it the title of this video had me scared, i almost cried thinking this was it for Donna Sue i thought she was leaving us
Every few weeks 😂 if only I had that kinda job satisfaction.
Donna Sue...proof that not all angels have wings.
I've always said if you have the choice between a good boss and bad coworkers and a bad boss and good co-workers I'll take the second choice.
I need to marry a Donna Sue. Could use some sweetness in my life
Donna Sue is a gem ♥️
That was how I felt with my old coworkers. We created a discord together and my core group and I try to hang out every few weeks or when we have the time
You do so well with all the characters you've created ❤
Did she read my mind? This is SO me at my fast food job I had for 3yrs and every day I question why I’m still here 😅😂
Did...did Donna Sue just let slip that SHE needs a Donna Sue, too?? 38 *worried look*
Omg I feel like this sketch was to my soul right now
Love Donna Sue ❤❤❤
