guess what??? i just got fired from m y job today. longgg story but good grief. I am a good worker but can NOT work with condesending people anymore. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME THAT I find the right job where I will be respected.
HerBeauty`sInsideOut best of luck and wishes to you! Sometimes the people that lack good work ethic are the ones that get ahead and still slack! You’re a great worker and they felt threatened by a person with some actual force to them!
My husband just got fired from a job where he was making mega bucks. At first we were upset and scared but we prayed together tonight and this video came up on TH-cam and I think it’s going to be okay. Thanks Sarah 💕
Hey R A I worked in Corporate Marketing for huge consumer products companies for over 40 years where I also made "Mega bucks". I lost my job several times - the companies simply say "your position has been eliminated", which is how they get rid of you without cause. Anyway, advice from a fellow believer, two things to share with you: God is faithful and always provides; do not fear. Second, one thing your husband may also need to deal with is not having bitterness. I want to share one of my favorite Bible verses with him: Genesis 50:20. It is where Joseph reveals to his brothers who he is. Joseph's words to his brothers were "you meant this for me for evil, but God meant this for me for good." I love that verse and it always applied to my situation. We had to move across the country several times and my three boys had to change schools. God always prepared the way. He cares for the birds of the field and you are worth more to Him than the birds.
Dude, I've been fired three times in my life and I now have two degrees and am doing extremely well in my career (and my recent jobs). It's not always meant to be, and better jobs were always awaiting me. For all of you out there feeling like you're not "enough" or something's wrong with you if you've been let go from some jobs, don't worry!! It happens.
Oh my goodness, this video could not have popped up in my feed at a better time! I am going through an INSANELY similar experience in my life right now. I feel like a failure because I can’t seem to keep a job down. This video has given me a lot of comfort because I know I have a good work ethic and a strong character, but the events in my life seem to indicate otherwise. I am pregnant with our first child kid right now and am trying to figure out my role in helping to provide for our family. This was such a great comfort! Thank you Sarah and God bless ❤️
I just got laid off from a job I thought was going to be my career advancement/long term position. Open TH-cam and this is the first video I see. I feel like it's a sign
I got my first real job at 21, my boss treated me badly, later my coworker told me, it was because my boss felt threatened by me (i have higher education, and I speak more languages) I’ve literally waited almost 2 years, and i felt horrible, she harassed me everywhere everyday, Then i started praying to God for help, because I couldn’t do this alone anymore. And we got another supervisor literally 2 months later, who got me promoted, and my coworkers told her about how my boss treated me, and 2 other people… It gets better, hang in there!! 🥰🥰🥰😇
honestly, your mcdonalds experience with the managers watching the cameras...this is me every day at dunkin donuts...I message my mom for two seconds (with no customers for miles)...immediately I get calls from management asking what I was doing and why I wasn't working....there are no customers.
I'm so sorry you had to go through all of those tough situations, but you're absolutely right... God had a plan for you. I'm happy that your journey brought you here to us. I can't speak for everyone, but your videos bring me so much joy and inspire me to be stronger in my faith, to be the best momma I can be to my miracle baby, to be the best wife I can be and so much more. Your videos have helped me get through traumatic parts of my life where otherwise I don't know where id be. And I fully believe God brought you here to help people like me who need your positivity, kindness, compassion and love. Thank you for doing what you do! God bless you and yours. ♡
Watching this video was a blessing for me! A year ago I was fired from Walmart after 4 almost 5 years because I wanted to donate the lost and found instead of throwing it away. I was told I was stealing. I felt gutted and worthless. It was a blessing in disguise because a year later I am working from home with my boyfriend making more than I did there! Thank you for sharing your story!
Hey Sarah, thank you so much for this video. It was very inspiring. I was UNFAIRLY fired today, the last time I was ever fired was when I was 17 years old from TCBY (yogurt). So naturally, this was kind of a shock to me. But after being diagnosed in 2014, I put my photography on hold to heal. I let it go for this long... and I truly believe God allowed me to get fired so that I can pursue my dream job again. I'm a really hard worker, I'm good at anything I put my mind to... but it's time to put my mind back on ME. And your video helped to do that. Thank you. God bless you and I just subscribed so I look forward to getting to know your channel more. ;)
This was so encouraging! My boss just cut me down to 1 day a week without warning so I feel like I almost got fired! I’ve been anxious about quickly finding another job, so this story was good to hear today! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for this video! It was exactly what I needed to hear. Been out of work and have had no luck trying to find a job. Gotta go through this to get to where I need and want to be
I got pregnant just as I finished uni. My husband is working and can afford to keep us. I don't have a job and could not possibly get one, I want to focus on raising my child, but in these few months until he will be born, I feel USELESS. I feel guilty for not working, but also very tired all of the time, not having energy to do basic things. I really don't know what to do next. What will I do in 2 years?..
Amazing how God can use frustrating and unfair things in our life to bring us to where we are supposed to be 😊 This was such an interesting video, thanks for sharing about your past work experiences!
I hope that is the case. I just got fired from a law office, who gave me no specific reason for the firing. I was fortunate enough to start another job right away making more money and just a few minutes from my house, compared to the other job which was 60 miles round trip.
Hey Sarah I love your channel Your sister was correct God had something better for you. The feeling of being watched I experienced in my last job and I was being watched every shift even though in training we were not made aware of the cameras. The training was horrible I am so much happier now. What God had in store for me was the time to get myself in order and ready for my new steps in this journey of life. Enjoy your upcoming weekend
Love this story time!! Funny fact: all 3 places I've worked at have gone bankrupt 😳 2 while I was there and the other, a year after. I'm a work-from-home mom now and happy to report, we are not bankrupt 😅
I worked at several salons and day spa as a massage therapist. If you dont go out and drink or party with them, you get ostracized. And you wont last long. I was older, married and not interested in socializing outside of work. It can be a hornets nest in those places. Gossip, drama and back stabbing galore. I finally just opened my own massage place.
I was fired from my job this year on the same day that my close family member died. No condolences , no phone calls nothing. I cried for weeks thinking I must be a horrible person & horrible worker to deserve this than I realized that I was working for horrible people in a horrible work environment & I'm so happy to be free from toxic people. My boss would sit in her office all day watching her HARD WORKERS busting butt on the security cameras. She was constantly looking for something we would do wrong. What a horrible way to treat the people who have made you rich.
I found this video very helpful and comforting. I think so many people have difficulty with jobs. It’s just not something that is talked about often enough.
I was never fired, but I did leave two jobs because of TERRIBLE management and a toxic work environment. I haven’t fully given up, but I am pregnant right now and thinking of finishing up school (applying for PhD) before thinking about getting a job again. I’d love to work from home but that’s not really much of an option here where I live, but this gave me a bit of push to kinda not rush things and feel bad about my current situation and know that I’ll be fine. Thanks girl.
Wow. I needed to hear this, thank you. I've struggled with the most recent jobs I've had, feeling like I'm an excellent worker but having negative work environments. Ultimately I really want to be a writer, an author, and work from home so I can also be a stay at home mom. When I left my last job, I applied at nearly every coffee shop in my city because I really enjoy working as a barista, but despite my experience and persistence NO ONE would even interview me. I was so frustrated because I enjoy working and felt I had so much to offer, but maybe it was God's way of saying the season of working for someone else is over. Pursue writing and be your own boss. Also found out I was pregnant two weeks after leaving my job. 😜
I left 2 jobs in Bulgaria, where I am from. I had to leave 3 jobs that I liked in Germany where I lived, studied and worked temporarily. In Canada where I live now, I have been let go at least 6 times and left jobs 3 times. I am a lot older obviously and I know I am good worker. So don't you worry...
This video really hit home today, as I'm currently losing a job and havent found one to replace it yet. Have to keep reminding myself that it's part of God's plan even if it's hard and scary. Thanks for making your videos. I found your channel at a time when I really needed encouragement, and I feel like I found a friend.
Man, your story sounds all too familiar! I'm in a similar place. I'm a good worker, but somehow I keep ending up in bum situations either getting fired or feeling like I need to quit if I'm going to survive. Not sure what my next step will be, but your video is an encouragement. Thanks for sharing.
My previous employer violated HIPPA laws, yelled at me in front of residents, confessed to being negligent on issues and then wrote me up for it and reported it to HR under my name, knew that a coworker had assaulted me a few times, refused to pay me the wages that the company had decided upon, and scolded me for tiny things. She would call me on my days off to yell at me over the phone and had accumulated a two and a half star rating on Indeed. I believe you when you say you weren’t a bad worker. I knew that I wasn’t, either, but felt worthless and hopelessly incompetent. Now I have a great job teaching as an independent contractor that is more than I could have prayed for. The mental and emotional health that resulted from the switch is incredible, and I’m still enjoying it.
From your statement about HIPAA and saying "residents" sounds like it was a cna or health aide job. Funny thing is I've been a cna and your description of management sounds exactly like my experiences being a cna in every retirement home / rehab facility I've been to. Even the nurses were rude and liked to power trip. I switched to home health as an independent contracted employee and it was SOOOOOOOOO much better. Did that for almost 3 years until I had more kids.
Denise I was actually life enrichment at a retirement home! That’s crazy...so many people say horrible things about working in those places. The residents were well cared for, but the staff was absolutely not.
I work in Walmart here in the US and a lot of the workers are incredible but it’s our management that just sit in the office and watch and never help and don’t provide proper training.
I MISS WORKING WITH YOU SARAH 😂😂🙌🏼🙌🏼🤤😭 love you ♥️♥️♥️ haven’t seen you in forever, I lead that walkout I was ready to leave. VV wasn’t good enough for you 😘 #BestSupervisorEver Love Jesse J
I just got out of Savers in Australia and it is the exact same thing. They still try to get people like that. And we are in different countries. Value village and Savers are owned by the same people. That's ridiculous.
Love ya. The old-timers normally live on a fixed income and most of them don't have much money after staying in care facilities. Care facilities are so expensive. Ranging from. 6,000$-14,000$ depending on the area. But they still could have tipped a little more. Just explaining! Love your videos!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! This kind of thing is so relatable for everyone I think, toxic workplaces and bad management are so so common. Great that you got out from all that and started working for yourself! I’m still working towards that ;-) xx
Hi Sarah, I’m in the middle of a cross road in my life and have no idea what I want to do with my life. I Spent 5 years studying tourism and working in this professions for 2years while always knew I didn’t like it. I got a school offer in construction that I recently applied but I didn’t feel right to accept it. I feel like in a dead end now. No interest in any particular field I want to work into.
I'm positive I've seen a video of yours before, home decor of some sort. I'm a sucker for that. Didnt subscribe just yet 🙈 Found you again on my home feed with a vlog (I adore vlogs just as much!) & this video was next. I know I was meant to see it. To hear it. To listen. I was fired for the first time from a long standing job recently & am in the midst of trying to find what's really next for me. The biggest thing being that I'm not compromising time with my daughter who just started high school. I'm feeling the time crunch & my mama intuition says that's my true priority. All that to say...Thank you for posting this. For sharing this journey. ♡♡
Inspirational just so good of you to share this. I think we all have been there. Its a blow to our self esteem to be told we aren't good enough in so many words...honestly you can be a motivational speaker. I wish I had you back when I was fired.
It is amazing how life events can lead you to certain things in life. I am so glad you made it to somewhere you want in your life. I want to be a stay at home mom on a homestead but I don't have a working husband so all I can do is save until I can start that. Have fun with life. Love your videos, don't know how people can do TH-cam, I just too shy to even keep videos of me let alone post them.
So nice that you have found what you like doing and you are super good at it!!! Looord, help us all to find our place. Thanks for the positivity, honesty and hope.
Every time God was moving us up and forward and into big unknown was when my husband started loosing jobs, or just not getting something he was clearly “perfect for”. Looks like God just likes to work this way with many of us ❤️
Literally had just made myself matcha when I saw you uploaded this haha! I love this storytime! So beautiful and important lessons to remember ♡ thank you for sharing.
I went from never being fired before and being somewhat valued to being fired 3 times in a row THIS year and tbh im feeling hopeless, and i kinda just stopped applying cause i'm afraid its going to happen to me again. I've always wanted to have my own brand and been working on it the last 2 years so i'm hoping that this is a sign from god to focus on my brand instead
I got fired from my job a couple days ago because I wasn’t selling enough memberships and they kept messing up schedule and I had mental health issues as well as fibromyalgia so I was late a few times. It was a bad place to work. Too toxic
I had the same situation working at Subway. They made me like a manager for when they werent there, didnt train me, yet always watched me on camera. I got SO mad at that, its not even legal here in the Netherlands to spy on your employees (from home!). After that they wanted to educate me, which they would pay for, but I refused because I wanted to study again. They than let me go when my contract was due instead of giving me another 6 month contract. I didnt have money that half a year, but at least I still had my dignity. Edit: my study would start almost 6 months after I kindly refused their offer.
I was fired for the second time in my life today because a customer threatened me into giving him money while I was by myself, after I was already threatened months ago by a group of 6 men while working alone and luckily they took off before they took anything but management never did anything about the first incident. I’ve been questioning all day if I’m just a bad worker or not capable of anything but I’m realizing sometimes you end up in bad situations and it’s not always your fault. This video really helped, thank you 💕
Just wanted to say that I recently found your channel. I love your videos and I showed a few to my sister a couple days ago and she's obessed now, too!
Way to go, girl! I enjoyed a lot your story! I had had pretty awful work experiences but all of them had helped me to grow. God has lead the way and i am pretty happy on my eight year current job. Gob bless you!
Little throwback, but i’m still gonna comment: I’ve been “fired” once, i had been working at a preschool and i quietly voiced my opinion on a particular child to my coworker, I said and i QUOTE “i’m glad he (his name) isn’t here today, i needed a break” And my manager overheard me and fired me on the spot even though i was the LEAD teacher and no one else heard me and my coworker had agreed and she was not fired, but hey you live and you learn i guess.
The low tips from the elderly ladies is because they don't have much money. The nursing home cost a lot. Remember the story in the bible about the lady and giving mites.
I don’t know how I keep doing this. Every time I subscribe to a new person who I like they’re a hairstylist! IM A STYLIST! I can totally relate to everything you said about the first salon job!
Hey girl, thanks for sharing that. I really would love to just work from home. I am a local artisian and have made some bucks on it, just not huge or steady amounts. I am going to put my products back in Etsy and possibly on Amazon, since the local shop I sell out of can't operate right now. You truly inspire me. I would love to TH-cam, bug I see there is a good sized investment required just in the camera equipment alone.
Hi Sarah! I'm a new subscriber and ah I'm just so happy that I found your channel, you're so gorgeous!. I'm on a job hunt currently and it's been nothing but all rejections. Even just this morning I got rejected from one job and honestly was feeling really sh*tty, I almost cried when they said I wasn't successful. This video popped up on my feeds for some reason and I just wanna say thank you and this video really made me feel a lot better. I guess I had to go through these experiences and I believe one day I'm going to be at a whole lot better place doing actually what I love doing just like you.
I know in the U.S. that the elderly usually tip that low because they spend so much money to live in the nursing home, and most are only left with 30 dollars for the month. It's actually pretty common that they don't have a lot of money in the nursing home.
It’s amazing to look back and see how God was using all that to bring you to where you are now and how many lives you touch! It’s always hard to see it in the moment though.
The management was a Gong show. 😂😂😂😂 I loved your story time. Thank you for sharing. I got fired but it was my fault. I was young, and a mess. I worked at a VHS video store this was a long time ago and fell asleep on the job. Can anyone say.... Hey you, yes you, the one asleep , YOU’RE FIRED 😂😂😂😂 I think every job I had prepared me for the job I have now which is a 5 time published author/ CEO of a Ministry/ speaker. ❤️ Keep doing you 😀
Since I became a mom I’ve been getting fired from my job I also got fired from 3 jobs and considering being an entrepreneur. I really like this video thanks for it
Management in any retail environment sucks 9/10 times. Luckily, the managers in my job actually work downstairs with us as well, so they can see the bs we have to put up with and are a bit more lenient/nice about their expectations on us. Everyone should work in a service job - the world would be a better place.
I've been let go once and fired once. The time I was fired was genuinely a result of a toxic work-relationship between me and my manager. He treated me differently than the other employees and was needlessly disrespectful to me. Our co-workers noticed as well, which were only 2 other people - yes, making only 4 employees for this store. My mom even noticed from the first time she walked in, and I had never mentioned to her about the mistreatment I was receiving at work. He would intentionally try to mess me up when working with customers by acting like a child, using random objects around as basically toys to play with, right over my shoulder and in my ears! He would try to correct me when I was wasn't even wrong, wouldn't teach me what I needed to know, and made fun of me in front of people. I didn't find the strength to reach out to my supervisor, who is all of our boss for the districts around town, and be honest about the situation. I'm sharing this because I hope if any of you ever unfortunatly experience this, please speak up for yourself! My supervisor told me that she just wished I would've told her sooner before he fired me. You deserve better!
I quitted 1 job, and got fired of 2 (well the last one was more of a FINALLY because it made me mentally sick and i wanted to quit but God heard my prayers). I am now at a super nice store with a really loving team. Thank God.
I no longer work but I'm a stylist, it's not only a job but it's who you are. The environment that clients don't see but is always there, is probably the second reason (the first being not getting passed your nerves)is why so many hairdresser's just don't make it Your either born to do it or not. Just from your videos and Im not saying this as a bad way at all nor am I referring to your talent (considering I've never witnessed it) it's hard to describe but I just can't see you ever being able to "survive" so to speak. We are a definitely a different breed.
guess what??? i just got fired from m y job today. longgg story but good grief. I am a good worker but can NOT work with condesending people anymore. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME THAT I find the right job where I will be respected.
HerBeauty`sInsideOut best of luck and wishes to you! Sometimes the people that lack good work ethic are the ones that get ahead and still slack! You’re a great worker and they felt threatened by a person with some actual force to them!
You will do great in your next job! Good luck!
God bless u
Praying for you.. YOU GOT THIS!
Best of luck to you!
"I felt bad for a second and then I realized everything is fine" that defines my whole freaking life HAHAHHA
My husband just got fired from a job where he was making mega bucks. At first we were upset and scared but we prayed together tonight and this video came up on TH-cam and I think it’s going to be okay. Thanks Sarah 💕

Lexi Bell I just got let go an hour ago from the best job I’ve ever had. This comment brought me to tears.
I’m pregnant and for some reason felt like I smelled that matcha when she pulled it out. I feel weird
It def made me want some matcha haha so good.
Me too. I just placed order online ;)
Oh my goodness, this video could not have popped up in my feed at a better time! I am going through an INSANELY similar experience in my life right now. I feel like a failure because I can’t seem to keep a job down.

I just got laid off from a job I thought was going to be my career advancement/long term position. Open TH-cam and this is the first video I see. I feel like it's a sign
Bridgette O'Rourke This just happened to me, too. An hour ago. I feel numb and completely blindsided, I was SO happy.
It happened to me too...just yesterday
“My heads kinda chopped off”
Same.
I got my first real job at 21, my boss treated me badly, later my coworker told me, it was because my boss felt threatened by me (i have higher education, and I speak more languages)
I’ve literally waited almost 2 years, and i felt horrible, she harassed me everywhere everyday,

honestly, your mcdonalds experience with the managers watching the cameras...this is me every day at dunkin donuts...I message my mom for two seconds (with no customers for miles)...immediately I get calls from management asking what I was doing and why I wasn't working....there are no customers.
Sarah, I absolutely LOVED this video. Thanks for the little piece of advice at the end. Please do more videos like this. They're truly amazing!
I'm so sorry you had to go through all of those tough situations, but you're absolutely right... God had a plan for you. I'm happy that your journey brought you here to us.

You ARE appreciated, you ARE loved by your family and all of us here and you mean so much to us! Don't ever give up!
Kind of glazed over all the "suspicious activities" valley village caught you doing? Lol I'd like to know what it was?
She said a couple minutes later! ;)
No she never said, what was it!? If they have it on tape...
Fiona Snow lol she wasn't being 'safe' lol 😂

Amen thats exactly it
I hope that is the case. I just got fired from a law office, who gave me no specific reason for the firing. I was fortunate enough to start another job right away making more money and just a few minutes from my house, compared to the other job which was 60 miles round trip.
You were the best supervisor we ever had 💕
Thanks for sharing. This is exactly what I needed to remind myself there is something better ahead.
Would love to watch a video on what it was like being home schooled, like how did you make friends? What did you do for fun?
Im in a homeschool group and many ppl meet up doing educational but fun field trips etc.
Hey Sarah
I love your channel
Your sister was correct God had something better for you.
The feeling of being watched I experienced in my last job and I was being watched every shift even though in training we were not made aware of the cameras. The training was horrible I am so much happier now.
What God had in store for me was the time to get myself in order and ready for my new steps in this journey of life.

This popped up, I needed to watch this. I've had 4 years of bad work experiences and currently in a temporary job. Thank you for making this.
You are soooo great, you should do a video on natural hair care techniques
I was fired from my job this year on the same day that my close family member died. No condolences , no phone calls nothing.

"Okay we're all gonna die" seriously cracking up!! 🤣❤️
I found this video very helpful and comforting. I think so many people have difficulty with jobs. It’s just not something that is talked about often enough.
I love sharing stories of our "failures" they are so inspiring for how we deal with hard times and keep moving forward to better things !
The theme is "I am not a bad worker" Love it.
I always enjoying your videos from Japan and learning English🌟
I was never fired, but I did leave two jobs because of TERRIBLE management and a toxic work environment. I haven’t fully given up, but I am pregnant right now and thinking of finishing up school (applying for PhD) before thinking about getting a job again. I’d love to work from home but that’s not really much of an option here where I live, but this gave me a bit of push to kinda not rush things and feel bad about my current situation and know that I’ll be fine. Thanks girl.
I really needed this :(( I got fired for the first time a couple days ago and it’s just good to see you recalling these experiences so lightly
Would you ever do a video on your wedding and wedding prep ?? Would love to see/hear more about it 😊
Wow. I needed to hear this, thank you. I've struggled with the most recent jobs I've had, feeling like I'm an excellent worker but having negative work environments. Ultimately I really want to be a writer, an author, and work from home so I can also be a stay at home mom. When I left my last job, I applied at nearly every coffee shop in my city because I really enjoy working as a barista, but despite my experience and persistence NO ONE would even interview me. I was so frustrated because I enjoy working and felt I had so much to offer, but maybe it was God's way of saying the season of working for someone else is over. Pursue writing and be your own boss. Also found out I was pregnant two weeks after leaving my job. 😜
I left 2 jobs in Bulgaria, where I am from. I had to leave 3 jobs that I liked in Germany where I lived, studied and worked temporarily. In Canada where I live now, I have been let go at least 6 times and left jobs 3 times. I am a lot older obviously and I know I am good worker. So don't you worry...
Enjoyed getting to know you more through these stories, and loved the message at the end! :)
This video really hit home today, as I'm currently losing a job and havent found one to replace it yet. Have to keep reminding myself that it's part of God's plan even if it's hard and scary. Thanks for making your videos. I found your channel at a time when I really needed encouragement, and I feel like I found a friend.
Love your channel, Sarah.
I was actually fired from over 40 jobs cuz of my disability
What's your disability:(?
So sorry love ❤️
@dani cali I end up taking breaks and returning when I feel mentally and physically well. My time is valuable to myself.
Man, your story sounds all too familiar! I'm in a similar place. I'm a good worker, but somehow I keep ending up in bum situations either getting fired or feeling like I need to quit if I'm going to survive. Not sure what my next step will be, but your video is an encouragement. Thanks for sharing.
You and your husband were very mature and it all turned out great! Good job!!! You are so inspiring!
My previous employer violated HIPPA laws, yelled at me in front of residents, confessed to being negligent on issues and then wrote me up for it and reported it to HR under my name, knew that a coworker had assaulted me a few times, refused to pay me the wages that the company had decided upon, and scolded me for tiny things. She would call me on my days off to yell at me over the phone and had accumulated a two and a half star rating on Indeed. I believe you when you say you weren’t a bad worker.
I knew that I wasn’t, either, but felt worthless and hopelessly incompetent. Now I have a great job teaching as an independent contractor that is more than I could have prayed for. The mental and emotional health that resulted from the switch is incredible, and I’m still enjoying it.
From your statement about HIPAA and saying "residents" sounds like it was a cna or health aide job. Funny thing is I've been a cna and your description of management sounds exactly like my experiences being a cna in every retirement home / rehab facility I've been to. Even the nurses were rude and liked to power trip. I switched to home health as an independent contracted employee and it was SOOOOOOOOO much better. Did that for almost 3 years until I had more kids.
Denise I was actually life enrichment at a retirement home! That’s crazy...so many people say horrible things about working in those places. The residents were well cared for, but the staff was absolutely not.
Why didn’t you leave that job? Nothing is worth being treated like s*it!
I work in Walmart here in the US and a lot of the workers are incredible but it’s our management that just sit in the office and watch and never help and don’t provide proper training.
I MISS WORKING WITH YOU SARAH 😂😂🙌🏼🙌🏼🤤😭 love you ♥️♥️♥️ haven’t seen you in forever, I lead that walkout I was ready to leave. VV wasn’t good enough for you 😘 #BestSupervisorEver
Love Jesse J
I just got out of Savers in Australia and it is the exact same thing. They still try to get people like that. And we are in different countries. Value village and Savers are owned by the same people. That's ridiculous.
Love ya. The old-timers normally live on a fixed income and most of them don't have much money after staying in care facilities. Care facilities are so expensive. Ranging from. 6,000$-14,000$ depending on the area. But they still could have tipped a little more. Just explaining! Love your videos!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! This kind of thing is so relatable for everyone I think, toxic workplaces and bad management are so so common. Great that you got out from all that and started working for yourself! I’m still working towards that ;-) xx
I worked in a green house owned by a lady at church too!
Hi Sarah, I’m in the middle of a cross road in my life and have no idea what I want to do with my life. I Spent 5 years studying tourism and working in this professions for 2years while always knew I didn’t like it. I got a school offer in construction that I recently applied but I didn’t feel right to accept it. I feel like in a dead end now. No interest in any particular field I want to work into.
“They put me in charge of safety. Okay, we’re all going to die 🤷🏼
This video was so encouraging, I'm always praying about my career and this being posted on my birthday just made me feel like it's going to be ok.
What makes u a good person is that you are a good person, so happy for you being a good person beyond everything else, keep being a good person
Your hair is growing lovely
*YOUR
Great you did a video about this, Sarah Therese. A potentially difficult subject. Thank you, Joanna
I'm positive I've seen a video of yours before, home decor of some sort. I'm a sucker for that. Didnt subscribe just yet 🙈 Found you again on my home feed with a vlog (I adore vlogs just as much!) & this video was next. I know I was meant to see it. To hear it. To listen.
I was fired for the first time from a long standing job recently & am in the midst of trying to find what's really next for me. The biggest thing being that I'm not compromising time with my daughter who just started high school. I'm feeling the time crunch & my mama intuition says that's my true priority. All that to say...Thank you for posting this. For sharing this journey. ♡♡
I found this immensely encouraging.
Inspirational just so good of you to share this. I think we all have been there. Its a blow to our self esteem to be told we aren't good enough in so many words...honestly you can be a motivational speaker. I wish I had you back when I was fired.
It is amazing how life events can lead you to certain things in life. I am so glad you made it to somewhere you want in your life. I want to be a stay at home mom on a homestead but I don't have a working husband so all I can do is save until I can start that. Have fun with life. Love your videos, don't know how people can do TH-cam, I just too shy to even keep videos of me let alone post them.
This was incredibly encouraging. Thanks for sharing.
So nice that you have found what you like doing and you are super good at it!!! Looord, help us all to find our place. Thanks for the positivity, honesty and hope.
Every time God was moving us up and forward and into big unknown was when my husband started loosing jobs, or just not getting something he was clearly “perfect for”. Looks like God just likes to work this way with many of us ❤️
Thanks for sharing, Sarah! God always has a plan for your life!
Literally had just made myself matcha when I saw you uploaded this haha! I love this storytime! So beautiful and important lessons to remember ♡ thank you for sharing.
thanks for sharing your story, i got fired 15 days ago and this makes me feel not so alone!
I went from never being fired before and being somewhat valued to being fired 3 times in a row THIS year and tbh im feeling hopeless, and i kinda just stopped applying cause i'm afraid its going to happen to me again. I've always wanted to have my own brand and been working on it the last 2 years so i'm hoping that this is a sign from god to focus on my brand instead
I got fired from my job a couple days ago because I wasn’t selling enough memberships and they kept messing up schedule and I had mental health issues as well as fibromyalgia so I was late a few times. It was a bad place to work. Too toxic
That was really fun to watch, please do more storytimes! Love the message at the end of how God works it all out.
I've been waiting for this storytime! 😭✨
I had the same situation working at Subway. They made me like a manager for when they werent there, didnt train me, yet always watched me on camera. I got SO mad at that, its not even legal here in the Netherlands to spy on your employees (from home!). After that they wanted to educate me, which they would pay for, but I refused because I wanted to study again. They than let me go when my contract was due instead of giving me another 6 month contract. I didnt have money that half a year, but at least I still had my dignity.
Edit: my study would start almost 6 months after I kindly refused their offer.
I was fired for the second time in my life today because a customer threatened me into giving him money while I was by myself, after I was already threatened months ago by a group of 6 men while working alone and luckily they took off before they took anything but management never did anything about the first incident. I’ve been questioning all day if I’m just a bad worker or not capable of anything but I’m realizing sometimes you end up in bad situations and it’s not always your fault. This video really helped, thank you 💕
This is actually really encouraging to me 😂
Lol, mine's probably sleeping😂💁🏾♀️
Sarah you are awesome! I love the stuff you post, Much Love.
I had a bad string of jobs too, only been fired once and let go once the rest I left because it wasn’t worth my happiness
Just wanted to say that I recently found your channel. I love your videos and I showed a few to my sister a couple days ago and she's obessed now, too!
THANK YOU!!! Love this channel sooo much!
@@sophiazimlich4503 Hahahaha, you found me!
I just got fired by three companies in eight months following college graduation. Like you, I'm also not a bad worker. Thank you so much
Way to go, girl! I enjoyed a lot your story! I had had pretty awful work experiences but all of them had helped me to grow. God has lead the way and i am pretty happy on my eight year current job. Gob bless you!
Little throwback, but i’m still gonna comment: I’ve been “fired” once, i had been working at a preschool and i quietly voiced my opinion on a particular child to my coworker, I said and i QUOTE “i’m glad he (his name) isn’t here today, i needed a break” And my manager overheard me and fired me on the spot even though i was the LEAD teacher and no one else heard me and my coworker had agreed and she was not fired, but hey you live and you learn i guess.
dani cali who are you to tell me what happened at my job LMAO
Watching from Indonesia and always feel blessed while watching your video. God bless you Sarah 🤗🤗
The low tips from the elderly ladies is because they don't have much money. The nursing home cost a lot. Remember the story in the bible about the lady and giving mites.
I don’t know how I keep doing this. Every time I subscribe to a new person who I like they’re a hairstylist! IM A STYLIST! I can totally relate to everything you said about the first salon job!
We don't think you are a bad worker. You are a workaholic in a positive way. A hard working person who loves her job and life.
Hey girl, thanks for sharing that. I really would love to just work from home. I am a local artisian and have made some bucks on it, just not huge or steady amounts. I am going to put my products back in Etsy and possibly on Amazon, since the local shop I sell out of can't operate right now. You truly inspire me. I would love to TH-cam, bug I see there is a good sized investment required just in the camera equipment alone.
Hi Sarah! I'm a new subscriber and ah I'm just so happy that I found your channel, you're so gorgeous!. I'm on a job hunt currently and it's been nothing but all rejections. Even just this morning I got rejected from one job and honestly was feeling really sh*tty, I almost cried when they said I wasn't successful. This video popped up on my feeds for some reason and I just wanna say thank you and this video really made me feel a lot better. I guess I had to go through these experiences and I believe one day I'm going to be at a whole lot better place doing actually what I love doing just like you.
I know in the U.S. that the elderly usually tip that low because they spend so much money to live in the nursing home, and most are only left with 30 dollars for the month. It's actually pretty common that they don't have a lot of money in the nursing home.
You're seriously awesome Sarah! I just LOVE your attitude towards life🙌 keep it up mama! Thanks for sharing💕
It’s amazing to look back and see how God was using all that to bring you to where you are now and how many lives you touch! It’s always hard to see it in the moment though.
The management was a Gong show. 😂😂😂😂 I loved your story time. Thank you for sharing. I got fired but it was my fault. I was young, and a mess. I worked at a VHS video store this was a long time ago and fell asleep on the job. Can anyone say.... Hey you, yes you, the one asleep , YOU’RE FIRED 😂😂😂😂 I think every job I had prepared me for the job I have now which is a 5 time published author/ CEO of a Ministry/ speaker. ❤️ Keep doing you 😀
"A couple times" :D I've been waiting for eternity for this ! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing !!! that is so honest. I enjoy watching your videos !
Since I became a mom I’ve been getting fired from my job I also got fired from 3 jobs and considering being an entrepreneur. I really like this video thanks for it
Management in any retail environment sucks 9/10 times.
Luckily, the managers in my job actually work downstairs with us as well, so they can see the bs we have to put up with and are a bit more lenient/nice about their expectations on us.
Everyone should work in a service job - the world would be a better place.
Thanks for sharing your story ❤️ love your content!
I've been let go once and fired once. The time I was fired was genuinely a result of a toxic work-relationship between me and my manager. He treated me differently than the other employees and was needlessly disrespectful to me. Our co-workers noticed as well, which were only 2 other people - yes, making only 4 employees for this store. My mom even noticed from the first time she walked in, and I had never mentioned to her about the mistreatment I was receiving at work. He would intentionally try to mess me up when working with customers by acting like a child, using random objects around as basically toys to play with, right over my shoulder and in my ears! He would try to correct me when I was wasn't even wrong, wouldn't teach me what I needed to know, and made fun of me in front of people. I didn't find the strength to reach out to my supervisor, who is all of our boss for the districts around town, and be honest about the situation. I'm sharing this because I hope if any of you ever unfortunatly experience this, please speak up for yourself! My supervisor told me that she just wished I would've told her sooner before he fired me. You deserve better!
I quitted 1 job, and got fired of 2 (well the last one was more of a FINALLY because it made me mentally sick and i wanted to quit but God heard my prayers). I am now at a super nice store with a really loving team. Thank God.
Where did u get those ice trys? They look nice i like that they have a cover
I no longer work but I'm a stylist, it's not only a job but it's who you are. The environment that clients don't see but is always there, is probably the second reason (the first being not getting passed your nerves)is why so many hairdresser's just don't make it Your either born to do it or not. Just from your videos and Im not saying this as a bad way at all nor am I referring to your talent (considering I've never witnessed it) it's hard to describe but I just can't see you ever being able to "survive" so to speak. We are a definitely a different breed.
