@@JenniferBrick All jobs involve similar aspects which I intensely dislike - having to do things I dont want to; confrontation; responsibility; boredom; stress; early mornings or late nights; physical inaction or too much action; assessment and critique.
@@someonesomeone25 maybe you need better stress coping mechanisms. I thought the job was giving me anxiety... which isn’t the fault of the job. It was my lack of mental health. Hard work is only fun when you do what you like
yup and the higher ups sit home working remotely and hiding behind their computers while trying to pretend they are working as hard as you. Yet, we all strive to be them. What an awful treadmill we're on.
Exactly. Been doing sales and service in the insurance industry for 7 years. I am so burnt out. American customers are the absolute worst people. I don't know how much longer I can take being treated as sub human.
I tried a lot and hate all jobs and even hate my own business. What I found out it that I don't like working. I don't like having to do something. I just want to do whatever I feel like right now and do little.
"I don't like having to do something". Right, it's like we're being forced because we are. I've realized that I simply just don't like working. Most people call me lazy because of it, but I'm not a lazy person. I just don't like working.
I’m the same. 46 and never liked my jobs. Even 100k salary jobs. If I stopped doing my current job nothing really bad would happen. What a waste of my time.
I go to work every morning with knots in my stomach. I’m so stressed, I have trouble sleeping most nights. The money is too good for me to leave, but I can’t take the pressure of meeting quotas and competing with my co-workers.
Omg same exact issue I’m having I want to quit so. Very badly I’m always sick and crying ugh I hate my job with a passion. I hope you’re okay now though
Me too . Im okay w job but... 😭 i hate my boss . He always mad at me with things that i think he should not mad at me . He can talk nice to me but he choose to mad . Every day i felt so stressed , unhappy & cannot sleep . My head hurts . Im thinking for quit but in this pandemic situation i scared that i cant get other job . Every day i cryyy . 😭😭
My boss told me, "If you get more organized and follow the book 'Getting Things Done', you'll be less stressed and like the job more." I got more organized, followed the book, my work load has improved, but I still hate the job. The problem wasn't lack of organization, it was that the job just isn't a good job for me.
Along the lines of what another commenter wrote --- What if what we hate is working full-time period? Working the 9-5 rat race? This is my problem... I have a good job, it pays decent, I get along great with coworkers, I do my job well and blindly BUT I have become EXTREMELY miserable working full-time, I'm so sick and tired of it... I want to be like youtubers who get paid decent money to put out content they find satisfying or Amazon resellers who claim to make money while they sleep off of products they resell or money from affiliate links... I don't need to be rich at all, I just need enough of an income to pay my bills without a boss dictating my schedule, without having to ask permission to take time off like a child, without having to stay stuck somewhere for 50+ hours a week (traffic included) ☠
Starting a business doesn't necessarily mean easier. It's different challenges. A lot of channels talk about starting a side hustle, I think that's a good way to see if you like it and are successful. With online business remember that the results of the top few are what get shared. I can't speak for Amazon fba, but I can attest to TH-cam being a lot of consistent work.
I come from a family of successful business owners. Trust me, owning your own business is worse. Very few people can handle that level of pressure and not breakdown.
This video was OK...but reading all the comments is what really made me feel better! Everyone seems so miserable and admit to they don't want to work at all. LOL I feel exactly the same way!!! However, there is this one damn thing in life getting in our way that we cant escape. RESPONSIBILITY
I love working and I love responsibility. But I hate working inflexible demanding jobs with poor compensation and working jobs where I don't have the power or opportunity to talk with people about misunderstandings and mistakes, so that I have accurate info on how to improve
Well in the future most people won't even need to work anymore. I'm sure like AI will do most of those jobs and people won't even need to work. Machines will do all the physical labor jobs. And all the other types of jobs will be done by AI. Kind of like in the movie Wally. We just sit around and do nothing. I can definitely see that eventually happening. The only people that will have jobs are like people who program the AI that run everything. And people who have their own companies. The government will probably like give everyone an allowance of money if nobody has to work anymore. Or the only jobs available will require you to go to school for years or something. They definitely won't need minimum wage jobs anymore.
It's never too late to do something that you love. You obviously like helping people. That's probably what drew you to nursing. The possibilities are endless.
I would like to echo a couple of comments. There is nothing natural about working for someone, spending your life at a desk, and just adhering to this artificial system. Humans are not meant to be chained to a schedule, working 9-5, pretend that they care about some weird spreadsheet or company targets, etc. I agree that even if entrepreneurship is risky, it will still give you more fulfillment and freedom. We’re all creative beings with our own unique ideas, so we all have so much potential to succeed. I think the entire narrative on how to cope, “learn to love your job”, “succeed at a corporate game”, etc. is missing the entire point of why people continue to feel miserable. Most of these videos are just bandaids (as helpful as they may be) and it’s time to see a collective action addressing the root of the problem.
My job is sucking the life out of me. Medical field, what are all you gonna do when all the medical workers get tired of being treated like crap. I don't remember the last time I went a day without being treated poorly. Patients you are the highest contributors. Please try being nice.
Have a meeting in 15 mins I just don’t care about what the meetings about. I can’t win for loosing with these people. Praying for a better opportunity for myself and those suffering. Cause the reality of it is we have families and bills that are depending on us.
@@matematicarka Well me, I work the typical crappy full-time schedule of 40 hours a week and 2 hours a day in traffic so about 50+ hours a week are sucked away from my life. Crappy slavery system. I feel worse for those people that work more than that! It's horrible. Unless of course, they love what they do than that's a different story but I think it's safe to assume that 80% of the population hate working full-time. I think being forced to work full-time is the problem because when they cut my hours due to the pandemic, I LOVED it, I felt so good physically, mentally BUT financially, I was hurting. Luckily the stimulus check helped me but it's sad that we can't pay all our bills with part-time work because I think part-time work is much more tolerable and healthier.
@@Zzz-dd6fc I shall forever be grateful to people that fought that our work week should be ONLY 40 hrs! Especially now when we work from home, and i cannot separate the dfference between work ond rest of life. in transport you can listen to audiobooks or podcasts? I honestly miss that transort part, it was a perfect way to have the border between work and non-work. Now it feels like i am working the whole day
I'm so unhappy in my job. I have no passion for management anymore. It's messing with my mental health so bad. I want to accept something on an employee level, but I'm scared no longer make the manager salary.
@Amanda Hoover After trying as hard as I could, and then having to take an LOA for mental health, I had decided to quit my job. I was recently awarded unemployment, but I'm applying to new jobs every day.
I learned long ago being a worker bee is where it's at. Leadership roles are not for me. I've been in them and I'm Happier being a worker bee 🙋🏽♀️ Ps. I'm glad you took leave for your mental health and glad to hear you were awarded unemployment. That gives you time to find a good job and take care of yourself 💗
My work environment is very toxic. I can teach teens when they behave, I can't when they create havoc in a classroom and in my school that's what they do.
life is not that simple. For exemple, i need a steady income to sustain my children. I can't risk the welfare of my family. No matter how much i hate my job
I feel what you are saying. But if you hate your job, it will show and your performance will get to the point of getting fired. I am looking at these videos because I am late 30s and work at a company that pays low, has no promotions, doesn't give raises. They are happy to claim they are expanding and give us more work. The manager who wrote me up suffers from medically diagnosed OCD. He is a clean freak. I am a technician and he dinged me for a machine that wasn't clean to his standards and also he thinks my work pants look too much like jeans 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ I lost it today and just let him have a piece of my mind in front of the district manager. The district manager started asking me about my weekend plans to calm me down which worked. That other manager sunk back into his chair because he had never seen me angry like that. But I realize how chitty that place is to work for. All other technicians are at least 10 years older than me. I have enough to survive a year comfortably without a job. I am seriously thinking about quitting tomorrow. I am tired of playing the corporate metrics and numbers game. What happened to just doing your job and making customers happy? I spend more time playing the numbers game and it hurts my actual work.
The environment, the hours, the point system, the role, and how I'm forced to remove my identity in order just to not get written up....I work at a chicken plant😒
And those 90 day grace periods! Is there a solution? I have searched for jobs that have instant benefits upon date of hire. I have had no luck! Are there other options?
I'm currently working at Walmart and originally I used to like it. I used to wake up early for the morning shift (4am to 1pm) and after that I can focus on my exercises and hobbies (TH-cam, art to sell on Etsy, cosplay) which I want to make my full time business. Unfortunately, after an incident with another employee, I switched to the late afternoon shift (from 2pm and 11pm) and I realized not only did I give up my hobbies, but I also saw the true nature of Walmart. Many of the managers are lazy and push all ready hardworking employees, including me to work harder while promoting lazy employees, many lazy employees in overnight and early morning shifts don't do their jobs, and my team and I are forced to do their job. There's little responsibility, discipline, and morality in there and I'm sick of it. I really want to quit, but I was told to find another job, but I don't want to. I need a break from jobs and just focus on my hobbies and creativity for awhile.
It can be an option and it will always be, there is a milion of people who didn't have a back plan. If you have enough savings until you find anything else that can pay your bills good, If you don't who cares, you will find a way to pay your bills. 🙂 Don't listen the people who told you what is good for you from their own perspective. I am in the exact same situation and it is completely normal and go ahead with everything you enjoying the most. Life is too short for living like a shit. 🙂
Sadly, it's pretty normal. But I don't want you to ask yourself this question and have anything less than a resounding and easy "yes." Let me ask you this, and answer for yourself or to me if you want to dig a bit into it: why WOULDN'T you deserve a job you love (or at least really enjoy most of the time)? First reaction, unfiltered, no judgements.
@@JenniferBrick 1. I’m a talented employee that brings resourcefulness, skill and 15 years experience to the job. 2. I’m a hard worker who pulls my weight and more on a team. 3. I’m committed to the organization/companies I represent and make them look favourable in the eyes of fellow employees and prospective job searchers.
I hate working for someone else I hate having to be in a specific place for a specific set of hours I hate protocols I hate putting a mask on I hate dressing codes I hate having no autonomy or creative freedom I hate manual job I hate trades I’d love to be able to travel to cool and popular places I’d love to do something artistic and creative that doesn’t focus too much on money
One the things I did that made more satisfied was I switched to another company that allowed me to work 3x12 hour days a week v.s the traditional 5x8 hour weeks. Yes I did also take a bit of a pay cut and I pretty much don’t have time to do much on those days. But then to have 4 days of freedom to go to the gym and to start working on a healthier lifestyle is golden.
I really appreciate the content. When I said to my brother like I usually do my current job kind of sucks, he said you always say that. Although it was cold it gave me a wake up call to find some change. I’m just struggling to find my niche job. I would like to be able to work steady and predictable hours, preferably within the arts. I’ve done insurance sales but hate sales (found out after the fact sales isn’t fun) and have done some side hustle gigs doing blue collar work at retail stores. It just seems there isn’t any career out there that fits my wants without a lot of experience. I want to at least feel my job is something I truly feel has meaning. Will continue to explore more career assessment quizzes to find that niche for me.
My co workers make feel like an idiot. Yesterday someone helped me with something and “jokingly “ said “you should go clean the bathrooms since you don’t do anything “ I’m too scared to talk to my boss. What am I going to say? Hey boss, some of the co workers and you, treat me like an idiot. Idk if I can do that
Oh yes you can. There are several avenues you can take, because you don't deserve that kind of belittling. It will require courage and vulnerability, but it can be done. 1) Talk to the coworker who is mistreating you. Be firm. Outline why what they said is hurtful and wrong. If they bitch at you, stand your ground and maintain that this is supposed to be a professional environment and you don't deserve to be treated that way. Some people are just insensitive and literally do not comprehend how rude they are until you spell it out for them. 2) If they continue to be snide and make a toxic work environment, let your manager know. If he's an ass, go to HR. 3) If your workplace has a good grievance system, try filing a complaint. 4) Tough it out until you can find a different job. I sympathize, trust me. Speaking up about how your feelings are hurt is far from the worst thing you could do (and I've seen people do much, MUCH worse). As long as you're professional, you'll be fine.
I feel stuck. I was never able to get a bachelors because I didn’t have any guidance when it came to education and career. I got an over priced associates from a school that turned out to be a scam so even if i did go back i have to start from square one. I don’t know how to move forward or where to move forward anymore.
I’m stuck in a dead end corp job and I went back to school later in life to get a bachelors degree but it didn’t really make a difference like I thought it would. I do have a little better paying job but it is not fulfilling. It’s a daily grind.
I'm in your boat Audrey. My schedule is great at my new job but the atmosphere is like a junior high full of brats where everyone believes they are the boss.
I work in IT as a help desk analyst and I hate it because I can’t get the next level position, be that a help desk manager or move on to system administration. I want more experience but bosses aren’t allowing that or giving me the time to improve the things I want to work on. Then another person the bosses like more is allowed to do those exact things I want and they get all the praise.
In addition, I need to get more certification for things I don’t have access to. Everyone wants to have me setup my own servers and develop programs/code but I don’t have the space for this.
1. I've been in retail for 22 years overall, 14 of those are from my current job. 2. Often times I get knots in my stomach and stressed out for various reasons. Have anxiety medication on stand-by. 3. I feel like I'm going through the motions while not feeling satisfied or fulfilled. Need that pay check, right? 4. Lot's of drama. People call in because they don't like the shift they were scheduled...no consequences or repercussions at all. 5. Feeling burned out and stressed. It's easy work, but its just how things are at the store...the attitudes, everyone is out for themselves, etc. 6. There really isn't a fixed schedule. You do some days and some nights. I have trouble sleeping and not having a fixed schedule is problematic. I usually go to bed around 9:30 but that is hard when you have to work till 11. 7. Often there are scheduling errors. 8. Tired of people always hitting me up to switch shifts, I'm not doing it. 9. The grocery retail environment is just too fast paced. Hard to keep up the intensity day in and day out, mainly in the summer. 10. Understaffed. Everyone is tired, cranky, and burned out because people aren't applying for jobs because they are making more on unemployment than by working.
What I dislike about my job is working with a toxic coworker, that is loved for the last seven years. It's exhausting, but I miss working outdoors (was a zookeeper) but it didn't pay well at all.
So you recommend I DON'T stay in a job I hate? wow... I never considered that, thank you so much for making this video, I'm quitting tomorrow! Mortgage, bills, family be damned!!
I took this new position as IT Project manager . Very fast pace and complex . I mentioned I dont have the experience but will love to learn and grow my career. Unfortunately I was placed with a huge customer ( corporate level ) which i dont understand why as newcomer. Im struggling , Im tired , sad , crying and now sick with extreme back pain, pinched nerves and just miserable. I made a decision even if money is good is not worthy to end with my psych or my health compromissed , so I had placed my resignation notice. Other chance will arrive . Life is one , and If you dont care about your own person then who will?
Oh my gosh. I’m reading this and word for word this is where I am right now. Are you happier having left your old job? I want to know what it’ll be like on the other side for me.
Since I started working in my sophomore year of college I’ve been in the same position. Little pay increases here and there, but I do so much for little appreciation. People have been promoted above me multiple times and I’m done with retail. 6 years of this and I’ve checked out, with the customers, with coworkers calling in last minute, with the owners.
"Let's just jump into it. But first blah blah blah. So, let's just jump into it. And before that blah blah blah. I'm just going to jump into it. Make sure to blah blah blah..." You are not jumping into it Jennifer.
I’m a trucker. I hate my work-life balance, how sedentary I am, and how numb Driving makes me. I would love a stay at home job so I can spend more time with my family. Tech is very intriguing to me. I’m trying to become a self-taught mobile app developer.
The thing is I don't really like working and I don't want to let go to school and spend a bunch of money to get some skills to get a job and then not even get a job. Some people spend like $100,000 on school and then they're like working at McDonald's because they were stupid and picked a degree that doesn't even do anything
1. I don't like my manager micromanaging me and my night shift I can't keep up with it 2. I want to work under any other manager who dsnt micromanage and during day shift 3. As an action plan i submitted multiple emails to higher management yet no resolution from then so imma switch the damn company
They always say my job is built for speed and that is what I hate. Being on deadline of 40 tickets a day each day. I’m about to be on a PIP and I just can’t take it. Inshallah I find something new and better soon
Laughed when she said you can switch departments and still hate your job....literally what I am in the process of doing. But I am doing it knowing I will hate my job more...with the idea that this will further motivate me to get out of here.
I hate to say it but this all sounds like bullcrap. All jobs are garbage, underpaid slave trades. I always burn out and hate my job, just simply because I have to deal with other people. People ruin everything they touch
I'm pretty sure I detest my job. As for what you were saying between 1:25 and 1:35? Too late. I'm trying to get out after about one and a quarter years, but now the hiring market is horrible [or at least I think it still is].
I wish could quit but I can't because I don't have enough money. I am trying to find another job but I work 9 to 6 on weekdays and weekend and I work so hard I am exhausted. I cannot ca in sick even once or I'll be fired. I worked with a fever and broken bone. I am so tired of this. I also have a coworker who calls the police on anyone she personally doesn't like. It's scary.
The fact that I took something out of desperation in order to pay back my student loans but it wasn’t an opportunity I was excited for her and I work environment is a pain especially if it’s like your house back room with a bunch of stock and small spaces you go to work in and difficult employees and it’s unrealistically fast paced and just very understaffed feels like a war zone
After working different kind of jobs i do realize the most important thing and that is like you said what makes you want to get up early and leave your house to go to work. Like even if the money isn't great most low down jobs will make you happy and one day if you work long enough you get a raise or even go up in the work place i know i did with my job. But now i want to find something else as i'm still young and still want to explore my next get up in the morning and actually want to go to my job.
Customer service is god awful because people treat service terribly. It’s the only jobs available for screw ups like me who didn’t get a degree or certification.
I hate my job and i quit. Friday is my last day. I hated it so much i quit before finding a new one! the stress, the physical and mental health implications of having a job you hate are very true! Thankfully, I am starting a new job in a position and organization that I've want. I start the new job in two weeks. I need to take time decompress and get back on track physically and mentally. The last two weeks of my current job have been rough. I almost wish i quit my job effective immediately when i turned in my resignation. My current company is a great place to work, but not a good fit for me. Believe me i tried the past six months to reason with myself to stay, weighted the pros and cons, watch videos like this one, and talked it out with close friends. Ultimately, I knew what i needed to do six months ago and putting ot off has caused me so much unnecessary stress!
Hi Jennifer, I'm 56, I teach high school, kids are out of their minds they scream in class they will not make an effort to learn the environment is insane, it's killing me, I miss work for 4 or 5 days every two weeks. There's no AC in classrooms, the heat, the whole environment is sick. After 4 or 5 hours my shirt is covered in sweat, I start making mistakes on the board, my mind feels like it's dissociating itself from my being as if I'm going crazy. I don't know what to do.
Toxic environment that is wonderful for about 20% while everyone else is there to serve their careers. I am making a very strong effort to leave, but can’t seem to get an interview at my age. You ask excellent questions.
Been in my call centre job six years. Lately been making mistakes now I’m on a personal improvement plan. They’re supportive and kind but I just don’t care anymore
I need to find another job so badly. Mine has been draining my soul for years now. I’ve been looking and applying but haven’t been able to find anything around what I’m making now.
I hate the responsibility. More like, I am scared of it. I love the technical part of thr job, and I love to learn new technologies. But its the people stuff that I am scared of. Being in charge of others gives me fear. Being the person that knows all the answers gives me fear ccuase then everyone keeps asking me questions update: i experienced major burnout and have started CB therapy
I feel this. Managing expectations and navigating confidence in the workplace is scary. STILL for me and I’m 40’s. IF I were left alone I’d be A ok 😂 thank god for the most part I am.
@@firebellymel5557 I envy you! Lately even when i am left alone, I can hardly focus. I'm just always scared I will miss some improtant information in the chats and emails and on meetings. Previous team lead was uber unorganized, did not pay attention on meetings, missed coming to them (still does) and we missed a huge deadline So even when I have some time alone, I am dsitracted on my own by worries. This is position is not for me. Yeah, I am great for the position, but it was destroying me. Luckily the rest of the team started learning some responsibility from me now so it is getting better, but my focus is still terrible
I am not sure what to do. I don’t like my job but I appreciate the company I work for. However now I am in a position that I can’t change to a different position in my company because I am in a probation period because of performance. I want to leave before I get fired.
i have anxious tummy n depression n hate everything.. that contribute me not to be able to do my job.. i look miserable... i hate that i have this feeling.. miserable😔
I hate my job. We're always busy. I get cussed out regularly for things I have no control over. I get no benefits no vacation or VTO OR PTO. I don't even get a lunch break. Our vital equipment is almost broken. I only get $11 an hr and I've told my gm multiple times we need a raise.
i REALLY HATE BEING A BUSINESS ANALYST....It is just going back and forth between two types of stakeholders who can't communicate with each other. The company is lovely though, but aleast I know now I am ready to change roles.
I like some aspects and tasks with my job. The company itself is ... so-so. I'm not sure it's all it tries to claim it lives up to. Management is a mess of projection and becoming more toxic now that the fair manager got a promotion and not working onsite as much. People say I shouldn't look for another job, just stick it out. So, I'm making it a point to see where this job takes me, give it a year and if no change I'm leaving.
Hello and I need help I love the company I work for but took a new position 2 months ago and have interview Monday with another role within bank, but when they ask me why do I want to leave what is the best way to tell them why being positive ? Please help
It's the two people in my group, plus some of the higher ups, in areas we support. Just had the "GOOD" group member moved to a different group. He didn't want to go either. And a new one, that is friends outside work, with the 3rd one. New one, wants to make changes of how we do things, and 3rd one goes along with anything she wants. I wasn't in love with my job in the first place, but at least it was tolerable.
Hi awesome video as always. could you do a video about what you should take from the office when you leave or asked to leave. Now i don't mean to steal and im clear about personal items. i just want to be clear about stuff awarded by company. my last employer that let me go kept tons of stuff that was mine and ghosted me when i enquired by email.
Anything that is company property you leave. This includes data, computers, access cards/keys and your phone. If they have given you swag or awards you can keep those things. That said, I know there is a lot of gray area and it ranges from company to company. For example, one company I worked for let me keep all the equipment I purchased for my home office and equipment I needed on the road, whereas many companies ask you to return it. Your manager or HR person is the best help here and should give you a list of things you must return.
@@JenniferBrick that totally makes sense. most of the time companies were very open to let me empty my office and the hr person watched over as i collected my belonging. one employer i worked for said they will courier my stuff to my house but when stuff got home i realized they kept tons of my stuff. it wasn't expensive stuff and when they didn't respond to my email, i let it go. in my experience its best to take home anything in the grey area days ahead. any sort of company swag like nice jackets, insulated mug, etc. i never bring to office. and if the company logo can be easily removed, i do that right away.
I get bullied in my job, my colleagues are toxic, no ever listens to me, they take advantage of me. I never get any support or training. I have set a date to leave. If I don't find another roll by then I am just going to leave. My mental health is in a really dark place right now.
1/ mention this to someone within the company in writing. Most companies have this person or department where you can register a formal complaint. 2/ take time off! You need to detoxify for a couple of weeks. 3/ every free minute after all this must be spent looking at new job opportunities, even if it requires relocation. 4/ please understand that life isn't meant to be easy. It's full of tests and challenges. Accept this as part of life's roller-coaster. When you're down, the only way is up.
Thank you so much for your posts they have given validation and comfort to myself and so many others I am 61 and have been sacked because of attitude after 11 years of loyal work meeting budgets clients love me being an introvert female and lesbian iand classical music and dog lover is probably not a good fit w the boss and his mates that their only interests seem to be rugby and making money
When is it too late? E.g. when are you so old that it's best just to hang in there until retirement? Older workers find it much harder to get new jobs especially non-management jobs.
I want to tranfer i was even talkimg with menager, but they blocking me, becouse "i am need here" and every day i am becoming more misreble, every time i hear the same thing "almost there, you will go there"
I hate the SALES aspect of my job.... but I like talking to people and getting them to enroll in education or find them work. Now what? D; Sales is everything.... I just don't like the fact your always being pushed to go higher and get more people to enroll/Apply... I am BURNT OUT. Any recommendations? I am slow.... super SLOW... but I am fairly good at getting people to talk. I normally make a small amount of sales but the people I get through are 100% quality. I'm just so stuck... IDK what I can do.
Ive worked at 2 different mcdonalds and i am curuntly at the second one the people here are really not nice i was vomiting one day and they told me to still come in and when I didn’t i got wrotten up so now i am about to ask to be transfered back to the first mcdonalds i worked at which has great people and a nice environment
Hi Jennifer, I want to shift into a different engineering branch, not a stretch yet Ilack the experience in said field despite classes and 4 dozen applications while beijg picky.

yup and the higher ups sit home working remotely and hiding behind their computers while trying to pretend they are working as hard as you. Yet, we all strive to be them. What an awful treadmill we're on.
This is where I'm at. It's the heavy customer facing aspect that makes me not like my job.
Exactly. Been doing sales and service in the insurance industry for 7 years. I am so burnt out. American customers are the absolute worst people. I don't know how much longer I can take being treated as sub human.
I don't smile at customers, I only do the bare minimum
I tried a lot and hate all jobs and even hate my own business. What I found out it that I don't like working. I don't like having to do something. I just want to do whatever I feel like right now and do little.
Facts me too
Can you hire me?🤣
My friend says going to his work "physically hurts." He most likely doesn't mean it literally but I relate with him very much
Me too. I thought I was alone.
"I don't like having to do something". Right, it's like we're being forced because we are. I've realized that I simply just don't like working. Most people call me lazy because of it, but I'm not a lazy person. I just don't like working.
I don’t think I ever had a job that I loved. I’m 58 years old. The concept of working at a job you love is alien to me.
Work doesn't always have to be the source of joy. What's more important is typically the stuff outside of work, isn't it?
Me too... i-m 28
@@JenniferBrick I would agree with this. If you fill up your life with hobbies then work becomes more bearable.
I’m the same. 46 and never liked my jobs. Even 100k salary jobs. If I stopped doing my current job nothing really bad would happen. What a waste of my time.
@@Actias1974 hopefully not a total waste, maybe you have saved so you can retire soon
I go to work every morning with knots in my stomach. I’m so stressed, I have trouble sleeping most nights. The money is too good for me to leave, but I can’t take the pressure of meeting quotas and competing with my co-workers.
Omg same exact issue I’m having I want to quit so. Very badly I’m always sick and crying ugh I hate my job with a passion. I hope you’re okay now though
Me too . Im okay w job but... 😭 i hate my boss . He always mad at me with things that i think he should not mad at me . He can talk nice to me but he choose to mad . Every day i felt so stressed , unhappy & cannot sleep . My head hurts . Im thinking for quit but in this pandemic situation i scared that i cant get other job . Every day i cryyy . 😭😭
Yes competing with my co-workers is the main point for me now. I think they try to take over my job. 😪
Hi! I took a new job căușe the money îs good,but it's bad. Nobody îs teaching you anything but they all ask of me to know and do everything
@@minimalism5477 me too budy . 😭 Keep strong
My boss told me, "If you get more organized and follow the book 'Getting Things Done', you'll be less stressed and like the job more." I got more organized, followed the book, my work load has improved, but I still hate the job. The problem wasn't lack of organization, it was that the job just isn't a good job for me.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Something a employer would say
Along the lines of what another commenter wrote --- What if what we hate is working full-time period? Working the 9-5 rat race? This is my problem... I have a good job, it pays decent, I get along great with coworkers, I do my job well and blindly BUT I have become EXTREMELY miserable working full-time, I'm so sick and tired of it... I want to be like youtubers who get paid decent money to put out content they find satisfying or Amazon resellers who claim to make money while they sleep off of products they resell or money from affiliate links... I don't need to be rich at all, I just need enough of an income to pay my bills without a boss dictating my schedule, without having to ask permission to take time off like a child, without having to stay stuck somewhere for 50+ hours a week (traffic included) ☠
Starting a business doesn't necessarily mean easier. It's different challenges. A lot of channels talk about starting a side hustle, I think that's a good way to see if you like it and are successful.
With online business remember that the results of the top few are what get shared. I can't speak for Amazon fba, but I can attest to TH-cam being a lot of consistent work.
I come from a family of successful business owners. Trust me, owning your own business is worse. Very few people can handle that level of pressure and not breakdown.
TH-camrs are not relaxed at all
This video was OK...but reading all the comments is what really made me feel better! Everyone seems so miserable and admit to they don't want to work at all. LOL I feel exactly the same way!!! However, there is this one damn thing in life getting in our way that we cant escape. RESPONSIBILITY
I love working and I love responsibility. But I hate working inflexible demanding jobs with poor compensation and working jobs where I don't have the power or opportunity to talk with people about misunderstandings and mistakes, so that I have accurate info on how to improve
I mean you can be responsible doing something you enjoy
Feels like wasted life
Well in the future most people won't even need to work anymore. I'm sure like AI will do most of those jobs and people won't even need to work. Machines will do all the physical labor jobs. And all the other types of jobs will be done by AI. Kind of like in the movie Wally. We just sit around and do nothing. I can definitely see that eventually happening. The only people that will have jobs are like people who program the AI that run everything. And people who have their own companies. The government will probably like give everyone an allowance of money if nobody has to work anymore. Or the only jobs available will require you to go to school for years or something. They definitely won't need minimum wage jobs anymore.

Same boat as you, but I’m a pharmacist. Hope our situations get better
It's never too late to do something that you love. You obviously like helping people. That's probably what drew you to nursing. The possibilities are endless.

@@lensgirl same a retail store manager
I would like to echo a couple of comments. There is nothing natural about working for someone, spending your life at a desk, and just adhering to this artificial system. Humans are not meant to be chained to a schedule, working 9-5, pretend that they care about some weird spreadsheet or company targets, etc. I agree that even if entrepreneurship is risky, it will still give you more fulfillment and freedom. We’re all creative beings with our own unique ideas, so we all have so much potential to succeed. I think the entire narrative on how to cope, “learn to love your job”, “succeed at a corporate game”, etc. is missing the entire point of why people continue to feel miserable. Most of these videos are just bandaids (as helpful as they may be) and it’s time to see a collective action addressing the root of the problem.
Well said
What if you hate all jobs
Then follow your passion. Invest in things that you love that gives you money. 😉
Yea
My job is sucking the life out of me. Medical field, what are all you gonna do when all the medical workers get tired of being treated like crap. I don't remember the last time I went a day without being treated poorly. Patients you are the highest contributors. Please try being nice.
I'm there now. Attempting to be compassionate doesn't work, some people are just awful. Burn out is a real thing.
I just don’t like people
Fully agree with you ! That’s my problem
Me too! It’s my coworkers that are annoying
So you quit yet
The older I become, the more misanthropic & cynical I turn (and working in retail is exacerbating it quickly!)
Have a meeting in 15 mins I just don’t care about what the meetings about. I can’t win for loosing with these people. Praying for a better opportunity for myself and those suffering. Cause the reality of it is we have families and bills that are depending on us.
What if what I hate about my job is the obligation of working and how it ruins my time doing hobbies and whatnot?
This is exactly my problem.
how many hrs in the week do you work
This! It’s alllll consuming
@@matematicarka Well me, I work the typical crappy full-time schedule of 40 hours a week and 2 hours a day in traffic so about 50+ hours a week are sucked away from my life. Crappy slavery system. I feel worse for those people that work more than that! It's horrible. Unless of course, they love what they do than that's a different story but I think it's safe to assume that 80% of the population hate working full-time. I think being forced to work full-time is the problem because when they cut my hours due to the pandemic, I LOVED it, I felt so good physically, mentally BUT financially, I was hurting. Luckily the stimulus check helped me but it's sad that we can't pay all our bills with part-time work because I think part-time work is much more tolerable and healthier.
@@Zzz-dd6fc I shall forever be grateful to people that fought that our work week should be ONLY 40 hrs! Especially now when we work from home, and i cannot separate the dfference between work ond rest of life.
in transport you can listen to audiobooks or podcasts? I honestly miss that transort part, it was a perfect way to have the border between work and non-work. Now it feels like i am working the whole day
I'm so unhappy in my job. I have no passion for management anymore. It's messing with my mental health so bad. I want to accept something on an employee level, but I'm scared no longer make the manager salary.
Hi Anja, since writing this 10 months ago did you make a change? I currently hate being in leadership.
@Amanda Hoover After trying as hard as I could, and then having to take an LOA for mental health, I had decided to quit my job. I was recently awarded unemployment, but I'm applying to new jobs every day.
There is a lot of FREEDOM being at an employee level.
I learned long ago being a worker bee is where it's at. Leadership roles are not for me. I've been in them and I'm Happier being a worker bee 🙋🏽♀️
Ps. I'm glad you took leave for your mental health and glad to hear you were awarded unemployment. That gives you time to find a good job and take care of yourself 💗
My work environment is very toxic. I can teach teens when they behave, I can't when they create havoc in a classroom and in my school that's what they do.
life is not that simple.
For exemple, i need a steady income to sustain my children.
I can't risk the welfare of my family. No matter how much i hate my job
I feel what you are saying. But if you hate your job, it will show and your performance will get to the point of getting fired.
I am looking at these videos because I am late 30s and work at a company that pays low, has no promotions, doesn't give raises. They are happy to claim they are expanding and give us more work.
The manager who wrote me up suffers from medically diagnosed OCD. He is a clean freak. I am a technician and he dinged me for a machine that wasn't clean to his standards and also he thinks my work pants look too much like jeans 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I lost it today and just let him have a piece of my mind in front of the district manager. The district manager started asking me about my weekend plans to calm me down which worked. That other manager sunk back into his chair because he had never seen me angry like that.
But I realize how chitty that place is to work for. All other technicians are at least 10 years older than me. I have enough to survive a year comfortably without a job. I am seriously thinking about quitting tomorrow.
I am tired of playing the corporate metrics and numbers game. What happened to just doing your job and making customers happy? I spend more time playing the numbers game and it hurts my actual work.
Bingo. U Nailed it.
The environment, the hours, the point system, the role, and how I'm forced to remove my identity in order just to not get written up....I work at a chicken plant😒
Thank you. I needed this right now. I literally had enough, came home stewing & typed in I hate my job
It's the insurance that holds me hostage.
Lol this is so true, me too.
Exactly!!!! Hit the nail on the head!
And those 90 day grace periods! Is there a solution? I have searched for jobs that have instant benefits upon date of hire. I have had no luck! Are there other options?
I'm currently working at Walmart and originally I used to like it. I used to wake up early for the morning shift (4am to 1pm) and after that I can focus on my exercises and hobbies (TH-cam, art to sell on Etsy, cosplay) which I want to make my full time business. Unfortunately, after an incident with another employee, I switched to the late afternoon shift (from 2pm and 11pm) and I realized not only did I give up my hobbies, but I also saw the true nature of Walmart. Many of the managers are lazy and push all ready hardworking employees, including me to work harder while promoting lazy employees, many lazy employees in overnight and early morning shifts don't do their jobs, and my team and I are forced to do their job. There's little responsibility, discipline, and morality in there and I'm sick of it. I really want to quit, but I was told to find another job, but I don't want to. I need a break from jobs and just focus on my hobbies and creativity for awhile.
But you need to pay bills so quitting can't be an option without finding another job first
It can be an option and it will always be, there is a milion of people who didn't have a back plan.
If you have enough savings until you find anything else that can pay your bills good, If you don't who cares, you will find a way to pay your bills. 🙂
Don't listen the people who told you what is good for you from their own perspective. I am in the exact same situation and it is completely normal and go ahead with everything you enjoying the most. Life is too short for living like a shit. 🙂
Is it normal that my first response was, “do I truly deserve a job that I love?”
Sadly, it's pretty normal. But I don't want you to ask yourself this question and have anything less than a resounding and easy "yes."
Let me ask you this, and answer for yourself or to me if you want to dig a bit into it: why WOULDN'T you deserve a job you love (or at least really enjoy most of the time)? First reaction, unfiltered, no judgements.
@@JenniferBrick there’s no reason not to deserve a job I love.
Let's flip it then: what are 5 reasons why you do deserve it?
@@JenniferBrick 1. I’m a talented employee that brings resourcefulness, skill and 15 years experience to the job. 2. I’m a hard worker who pulls my weight and more on a team. 3. I’m committed to the organization/companies I represent and make them look favourable in the eyes of fellow employees and prospective job searchers.
Awesome! Now do you think those qualities would be better used and more appreciated in a job you loved?
I hate working for someone else
I hate having to be in a specific place for a specific set of hours
I hate protocols
I hate putting a mask on
I hate dressing codes
I hate having no autonomy or creative freedom
I hate manual job
I hate trades
I’d love to be able to travel to cool and popular places
I’d love to do something artistic and creative that doesn’t focus too much on money
One the things I did that made more satisfied was I switched to another company that allowed me to work 3x12 hour days a week v.s the traditional 5x8 hour weeks.
Yes I did also take a bit of a pay cut and I pretty much don’t have time to do much on those days. But then to have 4 days of freedom to go to the gym and to start working on a healthier lifestyle is golden.
I did a 3x12 and a 4x10 when I was in college and LOVED it. Opening days makes time feel so much more abundant!
@@JenniferBricknot to mention to cut down on commute. Having time to spend with actual friends & family is great
Money isn't everything! So glad to hear this! Thanks for sharing 😊
I really appreciate the content. When I said to my brother like I usually do my current job kind of sucks, he said you always say that. Although it was cold it gave me a wake up call to find some change.
I’m just struggling to find my niche job. I would like to be able to work steady and predictable hours, preferably within the arts. I’ve done insurance sales but hate sales (found out after the fact sales isn’t fun) and have done some side hustle gigs doing blue collar work at retail stores. It just seems there isn’t any career out there that fits my wants without a lot of experience.
I want to at least feel my job is something I truly feel has meaning. Will continue to explore more career assessment quizzes to find that niche for me.
My co workers make feel like an idiot. Yesterday someone helped me with something and “jokingly “ said “you should go clean the bathrooms since you don’t do anything “ I’m too scared to talk to my boss. What am I going to say? Hey boss, some of the co workers and you, treat me like an idiot. Idk if I can do that
Oh yes you can. There are several avenues you can take, because you don't deserve that kind of belittling. It will require courage and vulnerability, but it can be done.
1) Talk to the coworker who is mistreating you. Be firm. Outline why what they said is hurtful and wrong. If they bitch at you, stand your ground and maintain that this is supposed to be a professional environment and you don't deserve to be treated that way.
Some people are just insensitive and literally do not comprehend how rude they are until you spell it out for them.
2) If they continue to be snide and make a toxic work environment, let your manager know. If he's an ass, go to HR.
3) If your workplace has a good grievance system, try filing a complaint.
4) Tough it out until you can find a different job.
I sympathize, trust me. Speaking up about how your feelings are hurt is far from the worst thing you could do (and I've seen people do much, MUCH worse). As long as you're professional, you'll be fine.
Get another job flip them the double birds and tell them they can all get f*****
I feel stuck. I was never able to get a bachelors because I didn’t have any guidance when it came to education and career. I got an over priced associates from a school that turned out to be a scam so even if i did go back i have to start from square one. I don’t know how to move forward or where to move forward anymore.
I’m stuck in a dead end corp job and I went back to school later in life to get a bachelors degree but it didn’t really make a difference like I thought it would. I do have a little better paying job but it is not fulfilling. It’s a daily grind.
I don’t mind the work I do. But my colleagues make my job miserable
I'm in your boat Audrey. My schedule is great at my new job but the atmosphere is like a junior high full of brats where everyone believes they are the boss.
I work in IT as a help desk analyst and I hate it because I can’t get the next level position, be that a help desk manager or move on to system administration. I want more experience but bosses aren’t allowing that or giving me the time to improve the things I want to work on. Then another person the bosses like more is allowed to do those exact things I want and they get all the praise.
In addition, I need to get more certification for things I don’t have access to. Everyone wants to have me setup my own servers and develop programs/code but I don’t have the space for this.
@@Shpongle64 have you tried looking for another job to help you grow? I been thinking of getting into help desk I’m studying for my A+
1. I've been in retail for 22 years overall, 14 of those are from my current job.
2. Often times I get knots in my stomach and stressed out for various reasons. Have anxiety medication on stand-by.
3. I feel like I'm going through the motions while not feeling satisfied or fulfilled. Need that pay check, right?
4. Lot's of drama. People call in because they don't like the shift they were scheduled...no consequences or repercussions at all.
5. Feeling burned out and stressed. It's easy work, but its just how things are at the store...the attitudes, everyone is out for themselves, etc.
6. There really isn't a fixed schedule. You do some days and some nights. I have trouble sleeping and not having a fixed schedule is problematic. I usually go to bed around 9:30 but that is hard when you have to work till 11.
7. Often there are scheduling errors.
8. Tired of people always hitting me up to switch shifts, I'm not doing it.
9. The grocery retail environment is just too fast paced. Hard to keep up the intensity day in and day out, mainly in the summer.
10. Understaffed. Everyone is tired, cranky, and burned out because people aren't applying for jobs because they are making more on unemployment than by working.
Retail is so hard, for all the reasons you listed.

I took this new position as IT Project manager . Very fast pace and complex . I mentioned I dont have the experience but will love to learn and grow my career. Unfortunately I was placed with a huge customer ( corporate level ) which i dont understand why as newcomer. Im struggling , Im tired , sad , crying and now sick with extreme back pain, pinched nerves and just miserable.
I made a decision even if money is good is not worthy to end with my psych or my health compromissed , so I had placed my resignation notice. Other chance will arrive . Life is one , and If you dont care about your own person then who will?

Since I started working in my sophomore year of college I’ve been in the same position. Little pay increases here and there, but I do so much for little appreciation. People have been promoted above me multiple times and I’m done with retail. 6 years of this and I’ve checked out, with the customers, with coworkers calling in last minute, with the owners.

I’m just working a job I hate until I can get the money to get started up on TH-cam that’s my dream and I’m doing this job just to fuel my dreams.
I wish could quit but I can't because I don't have enough money. I am trying to find another job but I work 9 to 6 on weekdays and weekend and I work so hard I am exhausted. I cannot ca in sick even once or I'll be fired. I worked with a fever and broken bone. I am so tired of this. I also have a coworker who calls the police on anyone she personally doesn't like. It's scary.
The fact that I took something out of desperation in order to pay back my student loans but it wasn’t an opportunity I was excited for her and I work environment is a pain especially if it’s like your house back room with a bunch of stock and small spaces you go to work in and difficult employees and it’s unrealistically fast paced and just very understaffed feels like a war zone
After working different kind of jobs i do realize the most important thing and that is like you said what makes you want to get up early and leave your house to go to work. Like even if the money isn't great most low down jobs will make you happy and one day if you work long enough you get a raise or even go up in the work place i know i did with my job. But now i want to find something else as i'm still young and still want to explore my next get up in the morning and actually want to go to my job.
Customer service is god awful because people treat service terribly. It’s the only jobs available for screw ups like me who didn’t get a degree or certification.

Thankfully, I am starting a new job in a position and organization that I've want. I start the new job in two weeks. I need to take time decompress and get back on track physically and mentally. The last two weeks of my current job have been rough. I almost wish i quit my job effective immediately when i turned in my resignation. My current company is a great place to work, but not a good fit for me. Believe me i tried the past six months to reason with myself to stay, weighted the pros and cons, watch videos like this one, and talked it out with close friends. Ultimately, I knew what i needed to do six months ago and putting ot off has caused me so much unnecessary stress!
Hi Jennifer, I'm 56, I teach high school, kids are out of their minds they scream in class they will not make an effort to learn the environment is insane, it's killing me, I miss work for 4 or 5 days every two weeks. There's no AC in classrooms, the heat, the whole environment is sick. After 4 or 5 hours my shirt is covered in sweat, I start making mistakes on the board, my mind feels like it's dissociating itself from my being as if I'm going crazy. I don't know what to do.
I am searching for the continuing education to land job when engineering companies are not hesitant due to Covid19.
I also hate my job please tell me what should I do? Because I'm needy
amazing upload Jennifer Brick. I smashed that thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the good work.
Covid19 is not making much available. Or that you are experienced yet inexperienced.
Toxic environment that is wonderful for about 20% while everyone else is there to serve their careers. I am making a very strong effort to leave, but can’t seem to get an interview at my age. You ask excellent questions.
Been in my call centre job six years. Lately been making mistakes now I’m on a personal improvement plan. They’re supportive and kind but I just don’t care anymore
I need to find another job so badly. Mine has been draining my soul for years now. I’ve been looking and applying but haven’t been able to find anything around what I’m making now.
My work is good, everything is good but I feel like I don't fit there .

So even when I have some time alone, I am dsitracted on my own by worries. This is position is not for me. Yeah, I am great for the position, but it was destroying me. Luckily the rest of the team started learning some responsibility from me now so it is getting better, but my focus is still terrible

Action I all ready did I just applied for another internal job I have a month to try it....I have not got it yet though
i have anxious tummy n depression n hate everything.. that contribute me not to be able to do my job.. i look miserable... i hate that i have this feeling.. miserable😔
I think we need to go off the grid.
I hate my job.
We're always busy. I get cussed out regularly for things I have no control over. I get no benefits no vacation or VTO OR PTO. I don't even get a lunch break. Our vital equipment is almost broken. I only get $11 an hr and I've told my gm multiple times we need a raise.
i REALLY HATE BEING A BUSINESS ANALYST....It is just going back and forth between two types of stakeholders who can't communicate with each other. The company is lovely though, but aleast I know now I am ready to change roles.
I used to love my job and then my boss quit and now everything sucks
I like some aspects and tasks with my job. The company itself is ... so-so. I'm not sure it's all it tries to claim it lives up to. Management is a mess of projection and becoming more toxic now that the fair manager got a promotion and not working onsite as much. People say I shouldn't look for another job, just stick it out. So, I'm making it a point to see where this job takes me, give it a year and if no change I'm leaving.
Hello and I need help I love the company I work for but took a new position 2 months ago and have interview Monday with another role within bank, but when they ask me why do I want to leave what is the best way to tell them why being positive ? Please help
Anything you are forced to do on a schedule to get some pay WILL become annoying in due time!
6days a week 8+ hrs a day thinking ,”I don’t want to be here.” is a painful way to exist.
I hate that I am an accountant, and those who aren't accountants are telling me how to do my job!
It's the two people in my group, plus some of the higher ups, in areas we support. Just had the "GOOD" group member moved to a different group. He didn't want to go either. And a new one, that is friends outside work, with the 3rd one. New one, wants to make changes of how we do things, and 3rd one goes along with anything she wants. I wasn't in love with my job in the first place, but at least it was tolerable.
Hi awesome video as always. could you do a video about what you should take from the office when you leave or asked to leave. Now i don't mean to steal and im clear about personal items. i just want to be clear about stuff awarded by company. my last employer that let me go kept tons of stuff that was mine and ghosted me when i enquired by email.
Anything that is company property you leave. This includes data, computers, access cards/keys and your phone. If they have given you swag or awards you can keep those things.
That said, I know there is a lot of gray area and it ranges from company to company. For example, one company I worked for let me keep all the equipment I purchased for my home office and equipment I needed on the road, whereas many companies ask you to return it. Your manager or HR person is the best help here and should give you a list of things you must return.
@@JenniferBrick that totally makes sense. most of the time companies were very open to let me empty my office and the hr person watched over as i collected my belonging. one employer i worked for said they will courier my stuff to my house but when stuff got home i realized they kept tons of my stuff. it wasn't expensive stuff and when they didn't respond to my email, i let it go. in my experience its best to take home anything in the grey area days ahead. any sort of company swag like nice jackets, insulated mug, etc. i never bring to office. and if the company logo can be easily removed, i do that right away.
Thank you Jennifer.
I hate my job because there making me go through the garbage now and we use to not do that
oh but your advice costs hundreds
I get bullied in my job, my colleagues are toxic, no ever listens to me, they take advantage of me. I never get any support or training. I have set a date to leave. If I don't find another roll by then I am just going to leave. My mental health is in a really dark place right now.
1/ mention this to someone within the company in writing. Most companies have this person or department where you can register a formal complaint.
2/ take time off! You need to detoxify for a couple of weeks.
3/ every free minute after all this must be spent looking at new job opportunities, even if it requires relocation.
4/ please understand that life isn't meant to be easy. It's full of tests and challenges. Accept this as part of life's roller-coaster. When you're down, the only way is up.
I don't have a career
Thank you so much for your posts they have given validation and comfort to myself and so many others I am 61 and have been sacked because of attitude after 11 years of loyal work meeting budgets clients love me being an introvert female and lesbian iand classical music and dog lover is probably not a good fit w the boss and his mates that their only interests seem to be rugby and making money
Thanks for the video, it is great. I love my job. I simply don't like some of the people.
When is it too late? E.g. when are you so old that it's best just to hang in there until retirement? Older workers find it much harder to get new jobs especially non-management jobs.
I want to tranfer i was even talkimg with menager, but they blocking me, becouse "i am need here" and every day i am becoming more misreble, every time i hear the same thing "almost there, you will go there"
I hate the SALES aspect of my job.... but I like talking to people and getting them to enroll in education or find them work. Now what? D; Sales is everything.... I just don't like the fact your always being pushed to go higher and get more people to enroll/Apply... I am BURNT OUT. Any recommendations? I am slow.... super SLOW... but I am fairly good at getting people to talk. I normally make a small amount of sales but the people I get through are 100% quality. I'm just so stuck... IDK what I can do.
For profit education pressure to enroll everyone is tough! Been there, done that, left the industry because of it
Ive worked at 2 different mcdonalds and i am curuntly at the second one the people here are really not nice i was vomiting one day and they told me to still come in and when I didn’t i got wrotten up so now i am about to ask to be transfered back to the first mcdonalds i worked at which has great people and a nice environment

Shiba inu gets to 50 cents I won’t need to work 😂
There's gotta be some big burns for that to happen IMHO (I've been following, don't hold any yet but am luck to have both AMP and ADA because I have the worse taste in crypto this week lol)
