I had a job that was so bad it woke up the prayer warrior / intercessor in me. I spent the whole commute praying my soul out !! Lol 😂
This is my currently “Lord don’t let these ppl press assault charges on me today” 😩😩
Same here!! I'd drive to work getting ready to do spiritual battle!!!
Lol🤣😂😂😂
@@Ooohokay do it for her Lord🙏😂😂
Yes Lord!!! Prayer warrior come forth🙏🏿😂
I’m not one to quit a job without having another one in place but bay bay, I had one where I was like, I’m quitting. God got me. 😂
RIIIIGGGHHHTTT !
Hilarious 😅. God bless!!!
Girl, me too. I literally JUST did this two weeks ago. I had to go bay bay. 🤣
Robyn Forbes I’m happy for you! You know it’s bad when you quit and don’t even know how you gon pay the bills but you gots to go! 😂
@@languagelearningdabbler I was about to quit, had been debating it for months until I just literally couldn't bring myself to work anymore. Then all of a sudden I found a job offering, in which I could finally put my law degree to use. I got the job, my salary has doubled and I've been working there for over a year. My contract got renewed again and I actually enjoy working there. Praise God 😭
I take mental health days regularly because no job is worth my sanity... or my freedom. Whenever I find myself giving ppl the evil eye as soon as they say good morning... I know it's time for a day or 2 off. 😂
I said Im going to try to schedule 2 days a month from now on, it's a must.
@@dnswigfall You absolutely should. I highly recommend it!
I take a day or 2 every month for a mental day to keep my sanity. The job will carry on whether I'm there or not.
I take mental health days off regularly. I have it so bad that I ignore emails and my job have my mother phone number instead of mines.
@@itsritasworld2252 😂
After 8 years as HR Manager I quit in September after I couldn’t wait to get home and have a drink - as a recovering alcoholic of 3.5 years, I knew I needed to pack up my desk and take some time off. I’m broke but healthier 🤷♀️
Congratulations On Your Recovery!!!
Good for you. I'm new to HR (2 1/2 years) and am starting to think I've made a big mistake changing my career.
Your wealthy 🤑 releive the internal burden
I feel this to my core! Congratulations for putting yourself first!
Congrats for making that tough decision! It's was very brave 💛
One of my biggest regrets was staying at a job that destroyed my mental health. It's 10 years later and I still have flashbacks. Do whatever you can to find another job , life is really too short.
Words of Wisdom!💯
I don't wanna bring up bad memories, but I'm also curious about why it was so bad 😫
Me too! I had a job that really affected me negatively and I am still working to to recover and undo the damage..
Are you me? Stayed10 years also lol
I went through exactly the same thing and it’s been 10 years for me too! PTSD is real. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
The best email I ever sent at work was, "I'm not coming in on Monday im taking a mental health day!"
Now I'm my own boss!
😄🙌🏾winning!
Goals! Working towards that!
Mercy Jesus I'm working towards that,so sick of working for idiots.
Such an important conversation starter!!!
I used to just call in “sick” to my job to take a mental health day. Now I just say “I’m taking the day off” I’m grown, it’s my PTO I don’t have to give no damn explanation 😂😂
Exaccccccctly! Lol
Lmao and you dont owe them one either! They’re also not allowed to ask
Amen sis😊
😂😂
I call it my “Puck around and find out time”. I’ve been here for 3.5 years. I get 120 hours of PTO and 48 hours of Sick Time, which does not have to be scheduled. My supervisor had me so stressed I was going to take it all, and all at once, just so I could get away. Instead, I went to my lovely doctor, described the tunnel vision, throbbing vein in my eye and sea of red washing over me when I looked at her and presto, 6 weeks off at full pay, starting immediately!
I’ve been back for a couple of months and now take a Friday or a Monday off every other week so I don’t let it build up like that anymore and that heifer of a supervisor now realizes how much they need me and leave me the hell alone to get my job done.
"Heifer" took me outttttt
That's messed up! I just don't understand why people cannot go to work and just do their work and go home! Some people have to have all types of drama and stuff....
Kudos sis
1. I’ve called off because I was tired.
2. I’ve driven to work, parked, then called off, and went back home ‘cause I wasn’t feeling it.
3. I’ve called off because I felt I had more important things too do, even if it was nothing.
I consider all of those self care reasons!!! I called off because it made me happier.
When I actually say “You’re an idiot” instead of just thinking it. That’s when I know it’s Personal Day time.
🤣🤣🤣
I think we work together
Lol! That's my favorite line too. I never really verbalized it though..
🤭 oops did my thoughts escape my lips
😁 YES!!!
It's ok not to be ok...self care is important 💯
I'm not the only one that hides at work right I just want to work without hearing people conversations.😂😭
Earbuds. You don't even have to plug them in to any device. Mine used to be tucked into my pocket and I would ignore EVERYTHING
@@younglaster 😂
My sister call me every time she “hiding” at work she “hide” more than work 😆
Me too. I thought I was only one who felt like that.
Im the same way.i aint there to be your friend.i am there to earn my coin.period.i clock in,do MY job,clock out.once i clock out,my time is my time.i do not give my info.i give general.you dont get my phone number,social media,email,home address.i do not speak at work if it has nothing to do with the job.if its another department,i remain silent.its not in my job description or pay grade to give a fuck who fucking who spouse behind who back.
Anxiety isn’t the word. Pure ANGER was my version of anxiety.
@Dorothy Campbell I enjoy her videos and I’m just telling telling the truth friend, lol...🤣🤣
Preach it to the choir that ANGER be dangerous to a healthy life.
@Silently Loud Beings anger doesn’t do anyone any true good. I’m a passionate person, let’s say that 😊😊
Same sis. I was dangerously angry at my last job. I could not handle it.
Y'all, this is serious. Stress can kill you. It almost killed me years ago on a previous job.
Bless you, Sis
That's where I'm currently at with my job now.
Me too.
Absolutely. It's so real.
I can relate.
"Mental Health Day", Yes!! They need to add that in the employee handbook as a required leave once a month.😀
Yes, they really do.
I agree.
My hospital just starting giving them-PAID! 👏
Agreed! Customer service is so exhausting on many levels 😩
so true,, along with pto,, they need to give MHD
Honey, when you said they fired me OH WHAT A RELIEF IT WAS!!! Swear I felt that.
My suggestion is to pray before you start your shift. It really does work... I do it often. Because the reality is I would be taking mental health days 3 times a week due to the stressful nature of my job. God is the more practical resolution 🙏.
@Stephanie Scott, Say that for the people in the back! Prayer does work and will navigate your whole day!
"I'm most consistent at being terminated." EJ 😂 I appreciate you so so so much😘
The Lord literally sent you, on this here video. #ARhemaWord
Gurl👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Amen
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭 Not a Rhema Word! 💀💀
Me: I really need to go bed soon, it's really late.
TH-cam: Shows EJ Speaks new video notification 👀
Me: Okay...just one more then!
It's 3:56 AM where I'm at. 💀
@@lalagonegaga It was past midnight for me originally lol.
It's the 2:30am CST, for me! 😂😂😂👍🏾
I had a job making 35k a year. It was torture tho. My face was breaking out, my hair was falling out, I was on the verge on driving my car off a cliff. I couldn’t be happy outside of work, it was ruining my life. I had a break down and walked out. Best decision ever. Money is not worth your health and happiness.
Amen sis! Glad you did!!! I did the same thing.
Same. I had a job like this also. Went from perfect health to all types of health problems from that job!! We have to look out for ourselves bc these jobs do not care!
Same sis, same! Kudos to you in the realization that U are a priority!! 👏 👏 👏. Like my mom used to say, “You crash a car, you get another, you lose a job, you get another, but if you lose your HEALTH, you may not get another chance”. #WISDOM.
I'm.so sorry that happened! I can imagine how stressful it was wow. So glad you're in a much happier place 🙂
I did the same! Best feeling ever!
I had a job that I hated so much where everyday pulled in the parking lot and I cried because the building hadn’t burned down.. 🤦♀️ it was rough
Lmbo
🤣😂😆
GO WHOOP THEIR-
I had a mouthful of Pepsi and I really don’t need this carbonated beverage to come out of my nose 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Harrrr I am HERE FOR IT!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, you really shouldn't have a mouth full of food or drink when watching EJ. I learn that lesson early👧🏽... I almost lost a laptop that way.😁😂😂
Lisa Brooks oh no 😂😂 she’s been on TH-cam for 8 years and I’m new here lol
Pretty much all past jobs that were beyond stressful were caused by lack of training. I understand “sink or swim”, “just figure it out”, etc. But when they just sit you in front of the computer and expect you to know it all/get upset when you ask basic questions... girl, byeee!
Girl...I know it well. Unfortunately! Smh
I agree!The worse!
Oh, I've been there. And then they criticize your job performance when you spend the entire time learning it, and fixing the previous person's mistakes.
Exactly. That's when you know that job is nothing but stress. Gotta go🏃♀️💨
Oh I’ve definitely had that job. My department was suppose to takeover calls from another department for two hours a day after that department left for the day. This department handled high risk accounts. So instead of offering overtime or implementing a new schedule so that department can handle their high volume of calls, they shifted it over to my department. Now understand this, they only gave us an hour in training before we started taking calls that day. So we had to take calls with very, very little training and we didn’t even have access to the high risk department computer systems. So for two hours a day we basically had to tell people to call back tomorrow to get the actual high risk department. The higher ups realized how stupid this was, after they received numerous complaints. So they took us off those calls two weeks later.
As a mental health professional, YES YES AND 100x YES!!! I work 2 mental health jobs, single, recent graduate of masters #2 and I now take off days and don’t do anything unless I want to do it. I even tell my kid “you hungry better eat some cereal or whatever you find and don’t bother me”
My husband is very serious when it comes to his employment, but I remember one job where I woke up one day and he was still home. I asked, and his response was, "I'm keeping myself out of jail", and that was that.
This spoke to me. I hate my job so much, I get anxiety thinking about having to go to work. I'm quitting in December, lol. Thank you for this video.
Best wishes to your new journey.
Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾
You got this!! More blessings to come!
Do it! Just like you found that job, you will find another one. Your mental health is more important than that job. If you know you can get by for a little bit before finding another job, then JUST DO IT! You will instantly feel so much better! I was once fired from a job that was stressing me out and like EJ, it was such a relief! I had two small children at the time and initially wondered how I was going to make it, but God stepped in and placed me in a job that was definitely better for my health.
curious if you ended up quitting lol.
The closer you get, your stomach is in knots, your pressure goes up, your head starts hurting... You have a good weekend but Sunday night, you stay feeling ill... You see your boss and instantly stare him down....yeah, I've been there... traumatic!
I was at a job that was so stressful that I would tell them I was calling off the next day. They told me I couldn’t call off while in the building. So I worked my shift, clocked out, went outside and called off in the parking lot.
I used sick time for a planned mental health day at one job since I was the only one in the office to avoid the flu (it was a Friday to give me a long weekend too); My manager saw me at the mall that evening and going to question my sick status 😒. Then on Monday switched it to personal time off so needless to say I fought the case with HR. You can't question someone's mental status
You could have been sick in the morning. I was sick when I called in, but now I'm healed. #wegiveHimpraise
Ok, so your manager was at the mall that evening, so I'm assuming that her shift was over. She's was still in work mode AFTER she was off the clock and kept that same energy for 2 OFF DAYS. I don't know her, nor will I ever meet her, but she already got on my nerves. She is too dedicated to her job.
@@kpopfan246 Exactly to worried about my health status all weekend
@@dwills7two9 also sounds like she was petty.
@@Liv_OutLoud 🙌🏽 Always staying positive for the healing
“They FIRED me and oh what a RELIEF that was”😂😂😂❤️. Yes I did take mental health days WHEN I was working. It was either me or my job so to keep my job I just called in and requested a Mental Health Day!! If they paid me they paid me if not oh well!🙄🙄🤯🤯
I looked so hard for this comment!! because I was going to say this particular one was my favorite, but she said so I wanted to check to see if somebody had put it on here before I put it on here...so thank you for this comment!! lol 😂. Much love. keep IT coming EJ!! 😂 😆 Stay safe, stay blessed.
My cancer had come back, completed my therapy, returned to work got fired the day I returned. What a blessing in disguise because I absolutely hated that job. And the boss. And 9 other coworkers were so relieved and at peace when they left. Honey peace of mind is PRICELESS. That boss was satan. God saw I wasn’t listening so he got me out. Protect your peace and trust God!
Girl I felt the choke the manager part..the seeing them and being pissed off part too..lol
I felt that part! I had a mgr like that. What she didn’t know, I was journaling my interactions with her @ss and had receipts and filed a complaint. Let’s just say I’m still there and she’s not! #gotya 😂😂
I once had a manager that was driving me to my breaking point and where I fantasized him getting hit by a bus.
fo real,, i just look at the mgmt sometimes and curl my nose like somethin stink in the room ... lol
Girl, this has been my topic for a while now. Jobs are quick to fire ppl instead of figuring out what's going on in their company and it usually is poor management.
NOT THE VOCALS WITH THE FINGERS!
SHE FELT THAT
LOL, LOL
Didn’t she though 🤣🤣
Yes she did that. Hilarious !
I had a job that stressed me severely. My neck would tense and ache when I got in the parking lot. One day, I went to an outpatient clinic to get my blood pressure prescription renewed. After being triaged, the doctor immediately called the emergency room and I was politely wheeled down and placed on a cardiac monitor. I was then admitted to the ICU. I could not pass go or collect $200. I know times are tough, but a job is not worth your life.
Just got off work and this SPEAKS to me on a spiritual level 😂
I spent plenty time giving myself pep talks in the parking lot, lol. " Don't be a stereotype, it's not worth it." I had a petty supervisor and a boss who refused to correct them even when they knew they were lying. Dead in the middle of winter, I woke up at 3 AM with the thought loud in my head: YOU NEED TO QUIT NOW. I typed up my resignation letter, printed it and drove to the office. I let myself in and put the letter in every camera lens from the entrance of the main building all the way to the floor I worked on and every camera in the office on the way to my boss' area, slid it under her door, gathered my things from my office, locked up the office and went home. I turned my phone off and slept like a baby for the first time in over two years. I will never forget that burden roll away. Mind you months prior, the Lord told me to quit. Don't let them steal your peace or your freedom.
I always take my mental health breaks. My spirit tells me when it’s time for a mental break.
Definitely. Today was greater than I imagined. Danced. Made a snack mix. Straightened up. Cooked. Massaged my feet. Laughed. So much bliss.
(I did go to work earlier). Lastly, meditated.
I'm a college professor. This semester eliminated my patience. These students calling me all the time, emailing me and can't be bothered to show up for Zoom class. No sir, no ma'am, y'all can schedule an appointment and talk to me then. BUH-BYE!
Appointments🤔🤔 literally just told someone, please let me know what your questions are.....via email🤣🤣🤣 Because if I move my children’s bedtime down or forego grading assignments just to appointment with you and all you ask me is....can you turn in Assignment 1 and that was due back in August....or can you retake the midterm.....👀!!!
let me find out my child on that bs.
🤣🤣🤣
@@JessicaSmith-ie7cm It's never one simple question with these kids I'm dealing with. We can't begin to discuss an entire semester's worth of missed work in an email-I am able to set them straight in an appointment and send em on their way. 👋
@@sjow3952 Lol!!!!
😂 this is so on point.
Specially those emails from certain upper management! Man!😤
You know this came on time for me. I’m in nursing school and like a dummy I got a hospital job as well. Needless to say I got COVID from said job and I’ve been falling behind with school work bc my recovery was not fun. I’ve been battling the decision of quitting all day today and here comes EJ to save the day. God will lead me where I need to be.
Thanks EJ! 💕
yep I takes them mental health days! they are preplanned for once a month. I aint playing with them people. I love me!
Coworker got married and my employer REFUSED to allow us to take off the day to attend her wedding. Coworker died and my employer REFUSED to allow us to take the day off go to his funeral.
Wow, I hope you found a new job!...smh
That is awful. I'm sorry to hear that...
That's some bull🤬
Quit dude, bump that job
That's not that uncommon for a employer to deny other coworkers a day off to attend a coworker WEDDING. Especially if you all did the same job,who would work?
Also employers don't have to give you time off for deaths for anyone except family. And sometimes even that is immediate family ( parents, siblings).
So although not nice, it's not they are trying to be a dick. Every company has some sort of rule regarding that.
If you knew the wedding was approaching you should have asked for the day weeks prior so they couldn't refuse.
The company goal is to make $$ not keep employees "happy".
Your makeup is pretty 🥰
her make up is sooo good looking on her! she already has good skin though and that is the best part. Much love. Stay safe, stay blessed.
I used to work at a bank for 8yrs. I left in 2019 and I was so happy I practically moonwalked out the door on my last day 🤣. I hated it there mainly because of management. I remember I used to cry when I woke up, I used to get chest pains amd one time I had to go to the clinic because of a panic attack so I was on anxiety medication for a little while. I took mental health days 1-2X a year. I used to be happy when I was genuinely SICK because I couldn't go to work 🤣
God is so wise though because He used that situation to break off certain things off of me. I am a much more humble person now and have alot more respect for authority and because of what I endured, if God ever elevates me to a place of leadership, I will never treat staff the way I was treated. I would be determined to be a good supervisor/ manager who treats staff with the utmost consideration and respect.
I don't take mental health days, 8 save my time in case I may need it. However for the 1st time since my kids were born, 11 and 13, I am taking 6 days off in December, and I am so excited about it!
Yassss get that time off 👏
Good for you, you deserve it and it's going to feel so good. And don't you dare think about that job while you're off.😉
Good for you! Reminds me of my mama. I’m 35 and married with 25 and 23 year old sisters (both RNs), and my mama STILL won’t take off ‘cause she’s “saving time in case it’s needed.” She works for the school district and has over a year of time saved up. For who?! For what?! TAKE OFF! I know she gets the holidays off and fall and spring breaks, but it’s a whole ‘nother level of mental satisfaction when you take off when everybody else is at work. 😏
@ Queen Murray, yes! I'll be off 2 weeks in December and cannot wait. Unfortunately, we're upgrading to a new computer system the first day of my vacation, but I'm not canceling. I put in my time way in advance. I'm not going anywhere, just not going to be there!!!
@@donnap6295 Good for you Girl!!!
Had a coworker that died and as you say .... THEY KEPT GOING. This man dedicated over 30yrs and not even for a day of grief.
See, I kept telling my previous coworkers to take care of themselves because if they die, the store will hold a job fair on the day of their funeral smh. I quit exactly a week ago. Started a new, better job the next day!
It’s not a coincidence that I watched this! I needed to hear this! Praise the Lord!!!
I've been at my company for 14 years and every single year I carry over incidental time, which can only be used for long term illness and grieving immediate family members. I have hundreds of hours that I can only use if someone dies or gets seriously sick. What a waste. I decided during this pandemic, this year, I'm not leaving a single minute on the table. If on December 31, 2020 I have 2 minutes left, I'm leaving two minutes early. I'm mentally exhausted and some days, I just can't do it. I still don't like calling off, but if I have a bad day, I'll let them know I won't be in tomorrow. I feel the message in this video.
FACTS EJ.... that's why I retired very, very, very early(8yrs early) with a retirement check for real...Thank you mama and nothing but GOD...😇🤗💯
On my last day at a job, my manager took me to lunch and was stunned when I got in my truck afterward. “You’re not finishing the day?” Giiiiirrrrlll - 😂🤣
Have you been reading my journals? Your latest videos have been about my life. Before my supervisor went on maternity leave, she sent me a text and said "put in some off days so I can approve them before I approve everybody else". There have been days, pre covid, when I would look at one coworker and wish that her heels would break and she'd bust her head on her desk and pass out. Or that my emails would shut down. Or looking out the window when it rain and PRAY that lightening strike a transformer so that all of the power shut off and we can't work no more. Or you have a whole ass pep talk in the elevator as you shadow box that you won't let "ol girl" ruin your day.
LOL.....Gurrrrrrllllll, GET OUT MY BRAIN!! 😂🤣💯
Girlll 🤣worked in a call center every time a thunderstorm hit I wold be like please let the lights and power go off in this weak tired building, In Jesus name Amen 🙏
I've had jobs where the power went off and came right back on
Dang generators 😂
Please forgive me for laughing at your pain, but I am SCREAMING! 🤣🤣🤣Whew, Chile...I can relate!
Really relatable during this pandemic.
"You are not mad at them, you're mad at your job" girl, preach. My dad's last year at a job was the worse. We knew he was stressed and mad at his job, so we tried not to take it personally, but we praised the Lord when he quit there!
I’ve got relatives in British Columbia, Canada. They get 6 mental stress days off per year. Paid.
Movin to Canada
Canada is always doing better things than us 😂
My boss always talking about oh everybody needs a mental day once in a while. But when I tell him look I need a mental day cause I'm stressed the hell out . The S.O.B tells me well you know we ain't got nobody to cover you and you also ain't got no time on the books. I leave that office more stressed and angry than when I went in. And I work at a hospital I should be able to get a mental day damn it.
I had a previous state job almost a decade ago that I had migraines and nausea whenever I was on the property. When I left, the symptoms left. Yeah, a lot of health issues cleared up within a month's time after leaving this job. My last state job I left pregnant and unmedicated. Nope, didn't go back after maternity leave either. I took mental health days too. Maybe not enough of them. If you're reading this, EJSPEAKS is right: take mental health days for your health's sake (mental and physical). In the words of Ms. Sophia "It ain't worth it!" 😂😂😂💯🎯💖🧠🙏🏾
I’m so thankful for this time away from work. I’m getting myself in position to quit. I’m so sick of putting money in somebody else’s pockets and driving myself crazy while doing it.
When I wanted to fight my "supervisor" because even before she was my "supervisor" she worked every nerve in my bucket of nerves, I knew I needed to look for another job. When she put me on 30 days probation after I was out for 3 weeks on Covid watch, (because she had to do my job while I was out), I was ready to go low end Chicago on her, I knew it was time to quit...so I did.
On a serious note: stress can kill you or make you severely sick, so if you find yourself sick, anxious, depressed seek professional help and quit your job if you can.
Man this was sooo on time. I had a job were my co worker died on Friday. Monday they had me on her position and NO we were not closed to go to her funeral
Damn!
They really don't care about you as a person at all smh
See, I kept telling my previous coworkers to take care of themselves because if they die, the store will hold a job fair on the day of their funeral smh. I quit exactly a week ago. Started a new, better job the next day!
So glad to hear this. I had a job that had me so stressed out I ended up being admitted to the hospital the week after Thanksgiving back in 2012. I learned from that experience - if it's stressing you out, got damn a job!😤
Amen!
😂😂 I get anxiety and sometimes headaches.
This is so on point! I know that when everything starts irritating me at work that it's time for me to take a mental health day.
I loveeee you!!! 💕💕💕lol
Talkin about “wonder why I’m sittin on the floor?..... you being nosie!” 💀💀💀
She got me RIGHT THERE.
Right! I thought she was about to tell us why..😂
Sometimes we wonder why we hate our jobs could it just be that you are an Entrepreneur and might to open up your own business. Or even like EJ be a content creator, book writer, artist, designer, realtor, etc.
I do it once a month. Rotating the days. I work in a lab as a Med Tech. This COVID-19 will have you stressed. So it’s a must to take a day off!
Okay lab!!! 🙌🏾
Girl I'm a lab tech too!! Every COVID is Stat and they send 20 at once
Girl, yes!!! Night shift Med Tech. Covid testing is starting to get crazy again! I recently left a full-time that I held for 14 years to become a travel tech. I can’t do it no more!
@@LaToyaMary98 travel tech sounds interesting. I heard that the pay is good too.
@@Arshaun01 YES.... some days I’m calling on Jesus and others I’m cussing under my breath. While given the dept calendar the side eye.
Girl. This right here. I got laid off today. Honestly I'm not upset. My back been hurting for 3 weeks. I left and my back instantly felt better. Turned those alarms off and gonna snuggle up with my comfy blanket. I need this rest. Yes I took mental health days but it wasn't enough.
This is so on time Vette! I’m literally stress-eating and drinking riiiight now bc of my job! 🤦🏾♀️
Shout out to the middle school bun, but you know you wore it through high school! 😂
I had a call center job in early 2000's that stressed me out so much that I started smoking Newports. Two years later I ran into a ex co worker that said they were sued into bankruptcy!
This is so true EJ! The former school district I worked for had mental health days as a part of our sick/ vacation time. I took all mine! No job is worth your peace of mind🙏🏿🙌🏿
Preach! I JUST quit a job due to the lack of mental peace. But BABBBBY! I feel free! I'm working on a new business to replace to the monetary loss. I have no wories - God got me. This thang is gon work right out!
But lowkey this message is REAL deep sis!!🙌🏾
I’m on one right now!!!! Took off two whole extra days that coincided with my normal days off to give me a 5 day weekend. I take them frequently. I call them “Cause I can” days 😒
When she said "oh what a relief it was" I immediately thought about
"Cooling Water by Lee Williams & The QC's" 😂😂😂
Exactly what I thought….RIP Mr. Lee Williams 🙏🏽
I took a wellness day today! I needed it 💆🏾♀️🧖🏾♀️
Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣 question of the day “what is a 2 weeks notice?” Lol dead
I read the title and said to myself , “ is this a sign “ 🤦🏽♀️ I’m there CURRENTLY ready to go ! This is the first job ive ever had to cause me to take mental health days.
I had to quit for my sanity. I am a wife and I have a 4 year old, I’ve been job free since last year and I’m enjoying this entrepreneurial journey and building my TH-cam. Always been a risk taker. I trust the process.
Good for you! Just subscribed. 😁
@@theresak3795 Thanks! ❤️
i call them personal days and i take them after every direct project with this one particular women from my job
“They fired me..oh what a relief it was” 😆 this is exactly how I felt when I got fired for the first time. I haven’t had so much peace, but I was also working 2 jobs. And with this job I take plenty of mental health days just to rest or get my mind right cause yeah I work with kids 🙄. ...it’s just part of my sick days but even when I run out..ima still take em 😆
I'm a cashier at Kroger in GA. I took a leave of absence because my mental health is more important than the job 🤷
🥺.....this is me now! I took a day off and now I feel like Im not gonna go back.
Very possible... I took a mental health day in February... well it’s November and I haven’t been back since... ✌🏾🏃🏾♀️💨
Damn I wish I could do this! 💔💔💔😞🥴
Every single one of your videos is actually my life lol. So relatable.
"'Cause jobs gone do...what jobs gone do." Periodt!
My mental health days are Saturday and Sunday, I have those days off every week... luckily.
I work Monday-Friday as well but sometimes I need that Friday or Monday off as an extra boost.
@@harmonyranay07 yes indeed! I always love and need Mondays off.
Thank you EJ. I needed this. I'll just be quitting. This stress is killing me
I call them “sick (& tired)” days... they usually come after an mega-ignorant day that starts from SUNRISE to sunset! I never used to take sick days, but hell.... it’s in the benefits package so dang skippy. I be on it!
FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK:
TAKE YO DAMN SICK DAYS!!!!!! They not rollover minutes! Lol
I take all the time I need for mental breaks.
Breaking point is when I've accumulate another sick day to call in. It gives me enough energy to not quit before finding a new one

I had a stroke at 27 and thought for sure it was my high stress job. Turns out it was due to a birth defect in my heart that sent a clot to my brain (now fixed, praise God!). That event changed my life in terms of self care! I have a different job now and I will take off whenever I need it ✊🏽 I do things that I enjoy and spend time with people I love. Also, watching some EJ for a good laugh is high on my self care list, too!
Needing a medication to go to work was my breaking point.
i've had a couple of stressful periods at my job. the second time, i flat out told my doctor i needed to be taken off for stress leave. i was off for 2 weeks. my big boss understood. i wish i had the courage to tell my direct supervisor (who was causing the stress). now working from home, my father had to tell me to take a vacation! i was like naw, what i need to take off for? i ain't goin' nowhere. BUT, i'm glad i did. 1. they weren't extending the deadline to use must-use vacation anyway. 2. it was a much needed break - just being home without the obligation of working.
Girl!!! I had a job where I literally had a headache from the morning drive to work and did not go away until I got off. They finally let me go. Best day of my life. No regrets!
That girl said if you're wondering why I'm sitting on the floor..... You're been nosy 😂😂😂
Lmaooo “why u sittin in the car cryin - GO WHOOP THEY 🤜🤜🤜” sent meee 🤣🤣🤣
I love this, you nailed it! I worked for a company for 7 years & was absolutely miserable the last 3! Everyday they were firing entire departments & tenure agents, outsourcing the company, took away incentives, adding to the workload with no addition compensation, black balling agents and preventing them from moving up in the company, harassing agents... the list truly goes on.
I was significantly under paid and under valued. I even went to the legal department & nothing came of it. The upper management lacked professionalism & consisted of people who lacked integrity & knowledge of the very company they worked for. I was stressed & bitter daily & I cried often. I literally complained about my job to anyone who would listen & it changed my personality. I hated seeing most of my coworkers & especially upper management. I applied for jobs for years and finally go an offer 4 weeks ago & took it!
Change was extremely scary but I wanted to prove to God that Him answering my prayers would not be in vain & to myself, that I would not allow complacency & familiarity, cause me to CHOOSE misery just because it was routine. I wanted to break the cycle & even in this short amount of time, I’ve been happier, more relaxed & more optimistic than I’ve been in years! My conversations have changed, no longer am I consumed with work & angry all the time. Regardless of what happens, I have no regrets about making the decision & I thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to leave & the courage to do it!
It's amazing you just posted this! Today was my last day working for the week..I on a mini mental vacation until Monday!! It has been the most stressful year and Ive been waiting for these days, not be up at 5:15..just going to relax at home.
dnswigfall, girl enjoy ur time off, sleep late, don’t worry about nothing 🍷😁
@@donna3995 yes..I've done turned my alarm off!!!
4 years ago I was in the worst job I've ever had. I was working 16 hour days, managing jackasses that made me question my sanity, dealing with outlandish expectations from my managers. I even ended up in the hospital for the physical effects of the stress. That's how I found you! Your "hate your job" videos came at the perfect moment! I quit and have never regretted it! I've been following you since!
14 years ago i was working in the medical field and used to cry in the parking lot before going in the building. My manager was a b-t-h. She used to lie about everything to make herself look good to the boss. She had me fired and tried to block my unemployment. I won my unemployment and moved to Florida. No weapon formed against me shall prosper.
I think that needs to be in every Workplace "A Mental Leave Of Absence" Real talk your mental health is extremely important. I work in healthcare and I definitely need to take days like that off.
