It's Your JOB, You Can QUIT IT If You Want To! | It WILL Be OK!

  • We've all had thoughts about just getting up and walking out of the door of our job and never coming back. But most of us never quit our jobs, we just dream about it. There are a number of reasons why people stay working at a job they hate, but the #1 reason is probably for the 'security' it provides. However, in many cases this 'security' isn't real. And even if it is, is it really worth sacrificing your life and sanity for it? In this video I talk about why you SHOULD quit your job if you hate it. As well as my belief that we are all smart enough to figure out how to support ourselves after quitting a job.

      Hi Ms. Janelle, hope you are doing well. I read your comment makes sense but wouldn't you rather have a job lined up? to give you a scense of relief and peace of mind knowing you have a job to go to once you leave that one? You say your God provides but he also doesn't want us to be ignorant of matters. He wants us to be wise and use critical thinking 🤔. And unless a person has a lover, companion, family relative or friend or 💰to fall back on. And sometimes peoples Gods and belief systems prayers don't always get answered or come to our rescue. And this message goes for any person of any Gods a Buddhist, Muslim, Islam, Jehovah's witnesses, Mormonism, Hinduism, Catholic, and Christianity etc. even that well known book called the Holy Bible saids my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. And ye shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. Just a side note sometimes our God or Gods don't always answer our prayer and may never be answered! then what we gonna do?. So again this is where critical thinking 🤔 comes in, a safety net if you will. Some 💰 to fall back on, a husband or wife, a companion family member or a friend or friends, anyways I wish the best today, tomorrow and along lifes journey. Love and light to you mam.💪🤔🌎🦉

    I quit my job after 4 years and about 7 months. Never thought I'd leave. When you're mentally drained, and you're miserable before you even clock in, no job is worth that. No job, no money is worth your peace. Peace of mind over fortune. It will be ok, trust me. I walked right out and did not look back. I've never believed in giving a 2 week notice. When I'm ready to leave, I leave. When the company is ready to let you go, they let you go without hesitation.

    Time to create my home cooked meals, clean my house, quality time with family and friends, time to exercise,time to travel, time to read and simply stare into space, time to help others as well.
    Now I found a job working with special needs students at a school which I love. This gives me summer, spring break and Christmas break off. I also work as a CNA sometimes helping the elderly.
    I’ve realized that there are so many elderly people who have, house, car, money, but very lonely.
    I don’t get paid a lot, but I’m happy. My next goal is building an efficiency at the back of my house. That will give me some passive income.

    If you have to quit your job, then leave your job. However; have a game plan. Give your self 2 months maybe 3. More or less in some cases. Don't let it turn into a year or two.

    When you work at a warehouse job, never get cross trained. You’ll regret it later. It’s always because of unfairness and bad management. I quit a few days ago, because i got tired of being moved to work constantly. They never let me take a breather. Once i got done, i was moved to work elsewhere. I didn’t hate the job, i hated being worked to death every time i got done with a certain job. They wouldn’t let me take breather for even 1 minute. Oh, you’re done?

    I love how practical you are with your advice. There really is no such thing as playing it safe. I have to say it is the most educated who have a tough time with your advice. I used to have a high stress career in education. I wound up leaving it and while I had some ideas of things I could do to make money, I didn't really have a concrete plan. I got a job as a cook at Whole Foods and had an absolute ball! However many of my friends and family were a bit concerned about why someone with a master's degree would be doing something like working in a kitchen. It was a complete departure from the stuffy corporate setting I was used to. But I did it for 6 months until I started teaching cooking classes and freelance writing. So you are right, things do work out, but you have to be willing to take the leap.

      What I do to make it is realize my job isn't there to fulfill my needs. I have it to finance my actual life outside of work. That's it; a way to finance me so I can exist in this world. That doesn't mean I don't do my best to correct mistakes and grow. Of course I do. When I get to the point where my bosses are causing burnout, I leave and do something else. But I never make my job my source of fulfillment. It's a tool, not a life foundation.

I wonder how anyone owns anything because the jobs I worked at had horrible turn over rates. I know the problem is not with me because I served in the Army for 20 years. The Army was hard but working in corporate America is torture. It's like a prison sentence. I need to figure out how to live off my pension ASAP. I'm working up my courage to sell my home and move on with my life. It's going to be hard, but it must be done.

I felt awful there, I didn't realize it until then. and I feel so much better now, and got a job interview tomorrow that pays better and is overall a better company than my previous job.

    There is no security; that’s true. I think a lot people realized that with the pandemic. Even beyond that: illness, injury, other circumstances can happen. So it’s important to feel like we are doing things the way we really desire.

    I needed this. I’ve quit so many times that I often get criticised. It’s sad because it has made it hard for me to find a job. I am currently in a job where I am over worked. I work about 14 hours a day and no breaks, no food, nothing. I get paid well, but I don’t think it’s worth it. It has affected and I have been there there 7 months. I think I might quit this job, I am so afraid because I need it, but I can’t stand what it is doing to me.

    Hi Timothy,
    Thanks for sharing .
    My field is dental, I recently started a new job. I realised on my first day this work place is very toxic. Alot of gossiping and undermining. I told myself hang on for a few more days. The final straw was yesterday. My manager was discussing my personal business to my colleagues soo unprofessional. I’ve always been a person I’m not scared to more on. I will find something eventually. Its all about taking a risk. I hate feeling like a prisoner in a workplace. We spend a lot our life at work, why must I be unhappy and lose my sanity. I found a job as cleaner and to be honest I’m more happy doing this than being a dental assistant.

    I've quit 2 super toxic jobs so far. When I quit the last one (after ~4 months) I was so relieved I couldn't stop crying. I just started a new job about a month ago, and so far it's going really well! I can see it being something I stick with for the foreseeable future. :-)
    I think we need to teach more people that it's OK to walk away from something that you're not comfortable with, and it doesn't make you a bad person or a bad employee to find something that will make you happier.

    You have motivated me to make a decision to quit my job. I'm currently contracting and my contract ends in June. A lot of my friends keep telling me to renew the contract and stick it out, but I just never felt right inside to 'stick it out' when it comes to working at a corporate job. Even though the work environment is great and the coworkers are hard working and sweet, I'm just not fit for that particular work. I want to be a motion designer, and I have a plan. I want to stop working for other people, nearly killing myself to make them happy and start working for myself, and do the things I'm passionate about. Thank you for this video!

    I am quitting my job in two weeks due to mental health issues and that I need a fresh start. The place that I currently work out is very toxic and I needed something more quieter. I will be a counselor for women and I am very happy to be getting out of such a toxic place. The advice you gave is so correct: never stay in a place that makes you unhappy. Get out when you can. Life is too short to be miserable. The security of my current job is what made me stay for so long, but I was never truly happy. It is also true that money isn't everything. I am going to be making less money at this new job, but I am better supported and I appreciate that more than anything. I am nervous and scared to move on, but I know I did the right thing in the end.
