[music] [music] I never thought it was going to happen this soon, but I'm free. I don't have to come back to this place anymore. [snorts] I'm free. Work should not make you cry. Work should not make you cry. If you're crying at work, you need to get a different job. You should not be crying at all at work, let alone every single day. That's the only lesson. That's the only lesson I've learned from this. Work should not make you cry. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. In today's video, we're going to be looking at many Americans quitting their jobs in 2025. While some are quitting because of toxic work environment, being underpaid, medical reasons, some are saying God told them to, while others are quitting because they're miserable, and some are quitting just to do content creation. >> I don't know how else to say this, so I'm just going to say it. But if you feel like you've become ugly, like not only physically, but also internally, just ugly because of your job, more often than not, it probably is because of your job and it's time for you to quit. I'm not saying to take this as your sign to quit your job, okay? I am just a stranger on the internet. So, don't blame anything on me. But what I will say is if one day you're standing in front of the mirror and you're like, I don't recognize this ugly person. Your skin is a mess. Your health is a mess. You've gained weight. You're depressed. You're sad. You're always irritable. You never want to be around your friends. You can't meet your basic needs. And you're just like feeling so off and like your spark is gone. Your personality is gone. You're a shell of a human. Chances are it's because you're so unhappy at your job or your job is sucking the life out of you and it's time to either quit or quit and find something else. Everyone, this is Danny Fischer. Danny Fischer quit his 9-to-five corporate job because he's had enough. Take a listen to his story. >> If you're miserable at your corporate job and you want to quit, I did it. I did it two months ago. I worked corporate 8 to 5, Monday to Friday in an office for 5 years. And I had enough. I drew the line and I quit. I had just about enough of going into an office and looking at a computer screen and doing worthless work and not being appreciated for it and being underpaid and reporting to somebody who didn't give a [ __ ] about me and being treated like a child, you know, being denied a PTO request when it's my life. All of it just built up and I just about had enough. I had enough to I was at my breaking point when I wanted out more than I wanted to breathe. The only thing I ever talked about was I want to quit my job. I I the nineto-ive sucks. I cannot do this. And I was serious about it. I told everybody and everybody's response was the same. It was, what are you going to do about it? There's nothing you can do. That's just life. It is what it is. Welcome to reality. That was what everyone told me. That's And to me, I just I looked at everyone like they were crazy. I'm like, you've accepted that this is reality and I just never could. And I think that me not accepting it is the reason that I'm out and that I'm doing better financially probably than ever. You know, now that I've been out of my job for two months, obviously there's a lot of uncertainty when I quit my job. I was nervous like anyone would. You're never going to feel ready. I didn't really feel ready, but I knew I had to do it. I had to. I had to take the leap. If I'm not going to do it now, when am I going to do it? Right? I'm 26 years old. It's like, what am I going to do? Wait till I'm 40 to do it? You know, no, I want to take control now. I want to live my life. I have one life, right? That was kind of the thought I had. I was like, you know what? We only get one shot at this life. And once we once it's over, it's over. And it's like, am I going to sit here another day and waste my life sitting behind a computer screen doing somebody else's work for them when I'm super ambitious and I feel like I think I have more to give and I have more value to provide and I just it never was for me, right? And [snorts] I guess if you're sitting here watching this thinking, I'd love to quit my job and and maybe do what you're doing and work online. I'm here to tell you you can. But be smart about it, right? Like I didn't just cold turkey quit. I I I had so much pain from my corporate job, but I I took that pain and put it into something else. I put it into working to get out, right? I put everything else aside. I put all of my things I loved doing aside and just started stacking skills and and learning about entrepreneurship and getting better. And then obviously familiar familiar my story making money on Tik Tok shop finally had a breakthrough and and now I'm doing social media full-time, right? But it's like it didn't happen overnight. And for you, if you're at square zero, you can't compare yourself uh to somebody who is making $100,000 a month and and you're sitting there thinking, I'd love to be that guy, right? Like, you can't think that. You have to think, what's what actions can I take right now to get to that point. You have to work backwards, okay? It's not going to happen overnight. But be smart. Plan. If you're in a position to where you're absolutely miserable, miserable at your job and you're just depressed, get out of that job and just get a new one and then get some of your time back and then work towards that goal to eventually get out of that job. Okay, that's what I did at least. But what I don't want you to do is just give up and say, "Yeah, that's reality." Nah, that's just for so many people do that. And if you do that, then you've already accepted your future. You've accepted you've accepted that as your reality, and you will not have the future that you feel like you deserve to have. So hopefully somebody needed to hear this today. >> I kind of understand how Danny feels. Well, let's take a look at some of the comments in this comment section. There are people out there who willingly became homeless just so they can be free. I just quit my corporate job yesterday and I feel free. I'm doing it tomorrow. Can't wait after 22 years with my company. Cooperate is a horrible life. I totally understand where all these people are coming from, especially if you're working in an environment that is toxic. I wouldn't advise anybody to remain there. Try to look for something and then quit that job. Just saying. >> Here are all the corporate jobs that I've quit and why. Starting off strong with my first full-time job as an application engineer making $66,000. In this position, I ended up being like a middleman between our engineering team and the sales team. There's a lot of emails, a lot of traveling, traveling to fun places. So, I'll give it that. Now, I quit this job after 1 year. They treated us like frat pledges. We literally got haze. They had us all take a half day off of work and go to a bar and they made us chug beer and answer inappropriate questions about our co-workers. Of course, I didn't because I'm very stubborn and you can't tell me what to do. And you know, I took my butt straight to HR and told them everything. The next job I quit was as a product manager making 75,000. Quit this after 2 years. I actually enjoyed this position and I liked my co-workers and we got to travel a good bit. Overall, very positive. But during co they brought us back to the office full-time in June 2020, which I thought was crazy. So, I took my butt yet again to the VP of HR and I said, "Are you trying to kill us?" And he said, "Uh, no, but we can give you a private office if that works." So, I had a private office for like a year and my boss didn't even have a private office. Oh, I just remembered I quit on the same day I had to move from the private office back to a cubicle. I thought that was kind of funny. Then the next job was also as a product manager making 90,000. I quit this job after 7 months because it was a hot mess. In the interview process, they made it sound like it was kind of startup vibes. They were trying to build. They're growing really fast. But when I got into the position, I realized everyone was related to the owner somehow. They would all like gray during their meetings. And I even got in trouble for cussing. I wasn't even cussing like out loud like in meetings. It was during lunch to the person sitting next to me. I like said [ __ ] or something. There was zero processes. No one knew what they were doing at all. And it actually made me miss working at a big bureaucratic company with a bunch of red tape because at least I could learn something there. The final straw though was when I put my pronouns in my email signature and HR said, "Hey, your email signature isn't approved. You need to make it match mine." And I was playing very koi because I wanted them to say they didn't like pronouns. So I updated the formatting to be the same as theirs and was like, "Oh, is this better?" And then they emailed me and said, "Take the pronouns out." Gotcha. In writing. immediately set up a meeting with the CEO and I said, "Is this how you run your company? You have a problem with pronouns." And then I quit. And it was honestly great timing because 2 months later, they laid off 30% of the workforce. I have a rule where the first time a job makes me cry, I'm applying obsessively for a new position. I think it helps me channel my rage into something actually productive and it's always paid off, literally. Lesson learned. Don't settle for a shitty job. If there's one thing about me is I don't sit in silence and complain. I will be loud. I will complain loudly and I will also get a new job. So, I quit my job because I can't take care of my basic needs and work 40 hours a week. It's really hard for me to say this out loud and put it online, but I know that I'm not the only one who is going through this. I'm 28 years old and I forget to do simple things like brush my teeth, take a shower, or feed myself on a daily basis. Um, I do want to make it super clear. I was raised by two very strict, very neat West Indians. And if you also have immigrant parents, you know, they take hygiene to another level. But despite my upbringing, I still struggle with this because I'm autistic. I've almost been fired from every job that I've ever had. And it's not because I'm not smart. I actually tend to overperform in the beginning. In my last two jobs, I got bonuses within a year of being there. But after some time, I inevitably burn out. I'll wake up one day and I realize I haven't taken a shower in 3 weeks. It's really frustrating because I know that I am smart, but it's like I still can't manage to take care of myself despite having accomplished a lot of really amazing things in life. Like it's not just a matter of trying harder or being more disciplined. If I could take care of my basic needs and work a full-time job, I would have done that by now and then some. It's just I'm not helping myself by not recognizing my autism as a disability. And it is truly disabling for me. And it's honestly like a form of self-sabotage and harm to be putting so much energy into building up these executive functioning skills at work and have nothing left to give myself. It's like I would literally wake up at 5:00 a.m., pace back and forth in the hallway, start work at 7:00, finish at 6:00, eat sleep for dinner, and then crawl into bed at 8. Like, I definitely feel insane leaving a good gig, like at the verge of a recession. But I feel like I've gotten to the point where my professional life has come at a cost of my personal life. And if I don't stop and pause, I'm not going to have either. Like if I want to actually become the person that I want to be in my 30s and 40s and actually get there in one piece, taking care of myself has to become my full-time job. Like it's not lost on me that I'm putting myself in the driver's seat. And I don't even have mying license. Um but I digress. I don't know. I just know that I wasn't born to raise shareholder value. Um, I actually want to live my life and I need to learn how to be a person in order to do that. So [snorts] yeah, love that for me. Oh, thank God. Quit that job. Get up and quit that goddamn job. I don't give a [ __ ] what nobody say. I listen. Quit that goddamn job. Just quit it and pray cuz I don't know where the next check come. I don't know where the next check come from but just quit that summer. Let me tell you something. I ain't got much money but I tell you I ain't ever been. I'm tell you this the stress free I ever been in my life. I'm at the happiest I ever been. No goddamn charge will stress you out. They already don't pay a goddamn enough. Think about on YOUR OFF DAY. HOW GOOD IT feel when you be off. LAYING IN THE BED freely your feet and [ __ ] from the best time of your life and all you doing is look at that TV [ __ ] and check coming because you went to work that week but you know b I'm let me tell you something I have not ever been this mother stress free if you got something you love find it do it figure it out cuz working these jobs just ain't it it's not bro and I'm telling you just think about when you not at work, you be having some of the best time of your life. Now, of course, you may got some friends and [ __ ] in your, you know, whatever, whatever. But when you off, [ __ ] some of the best time of your life. I promise you, I don't know what going to bring tomorrow, but I ain't mad about it. I don't know what going to happen, but I ain't stressed about it. I let go. Let go. That [ __ ] is what it is. Whatever happen, it just going. That's just where I'm at with it now. So proud of myself. I just clocked out for the last time. I quit my job. I'm walking out. Place is so toxic. I can't take it anymore. >> Good night, Amy. >> All right, I'll see you tomorrow. See you tomorrow. >> Y'all, this is Jessica. Jessica quit her job because she didn't think the job is a good fit for her. And at the same time though, Jessica did a Freddy commercial for her business while recording herself. Take a look. Here are some of the comments in the comment section. This was the funniest way I've ever seen someone quit. Me, too. Y'all can follow me on IG now. That was hilarious. She quit and did a commercial at the same time. For real. You are a true American. Oh boy. She doing a commercial and quitting at the same time for real. >> That's the other person. Thank you so much. Uh yeah, she left early, too. That >> honestly, Anna, I just got to be honest. I think I'mma head out, too. You've been great. This great this training class has honestly been great, but it's just we're getting close to these calls and I just don't think that this job is for me. So I am quitting. You have been awesome. Everyone in this class has [laughter] been awesome. >> Jessica, Jessica, that was me last week. I was >> That's like a 12th grader dropping out of school. Just >> No, it's not. >> This is worse. American. No, listen. No, honestly, my my kids going to be fine. Um, y'all can follow me on Instagram. [laughter] Do not follow the Instagram.

Y'all can purchase uh if y'all single moms in the balloon, y'all can purchase cups. I sell cups that say baby daddy tears >> advertisement in the middle of the class. >> Dad, >> I sell cups that say baby daddy tears. What are we talking about? >> I'm Ann and I'm quitting right now. [laughter] >> No, somehow Jessica, I really don't think you are. >> I'm dead serious and I'm not [laughter] coming back. I'm about to >> I really I have no idea what to >> I'm I'm about to I'm about to text the recruiter. >> I know. I know you're not kidding. I have no idea what to >> Listen, no. I'mma text the recruiter. I'mma let her know. I just want to say thank you for your time. This class has been a ball. Robin, keep holding it [laughter] down. >> I'm trying. I'm sorry y'all to not go. I cannot. This never happened to me out of all my years of life. Like, damn. >> This is crazy. >> But this No, for real. >> What is >> everybody just tapping? >> Quit the commercial at the same time. >> I just quit my job to do content creation full-time. How many followers do I have? 2,000 or so. How much money have I made off of Tik Tok? Here is why I did it, though. I was a server and I was not happy. I was going into work every day. And of course, there were other scenarios that played into the fact of making me quit. But I was like, you know what? This is my life and I can do whatever I want to do. If there are countless other creators over here, whoa, sorry, those are the cats. If there are countless other creators on here monetizing like crazy and making thousands and thousands of dollars off of Tik Tok, why can't I? Here's the other thing. I don't care how many times you have to hear this until it finally sinks in, but do what you want to do with your life. It is your life. your life, no one else's. And you have dreams, you have hopes, you have aspirations. They are there for a reason. And no one is going to make them happen but you. You've been told this a dozen times because it is true. If you need a sign to get off your butt and start doing it, this is your sign. You can do it. I am terrified. I have bills to pay. I have things to pay for. And I am taking a risk. But the last time I took an astronomical risk like this, I ended up having the best time of my life. And now I plan to do the same thing again. So if what the Tik Tok giries are saying is true, please engage with this video to help me get my feet off the ground with um creating a community here. I want to create a community and I want to teach other people just like myself who maybe don't have someone in their corner to motivate them and to push them to achieve their dreams because it wouldn't I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for the people in my life who were pushing me and telling me all the things that I can achieve and that it is possible for me. And I'm here to tell you that it is possible. You have your dreams because they are already accessible for you. You just have to get up and do it. You have to take a chance. Take the risk. You could lose everything, but at least you could say, "Yeah, I lost it all because I took a crazy risk." And then you get back up again. Failure is where you learn. And failure in itself isn't even failure as long as you learn from your mistakes and you come back better and stronger than you were before. So if you are still here to this point in the video, I appreciate you caring for me first of all. Second of all, please follow along to see my journey and I am going to teach you all of my tips along the way. And yeah, have a beautiful day and I'll see you soon. [music] [music] [music] >> [music] >> So this is Lauren, y'all. Lauren quit her corporate job because she woke up one morning and felt like this is not for me. She thought, "Why am I suffering for some company that doesn't care about my well-being?" Take a listen to her. Let's take a look at some of the comments that were posted in a comment section. Jenny said, "I dread every day logging into my job. I'm good at it and I like the job itself. It's the customers, the abuse on calls, and micromanagement from the company that cause stress, depression, dread." The creator responded, "For sure signs it's time to quit your job or stop planning for it." Self-love Cures asks this question. How do people make it without health insurance? The creator responded, "You don't need a job in order to get medical treatments." So, what do you all think? Is it true that you don't need a job to get medical treatments? Let me know your thoughts down in the comments. The reason I quit my corporate job honestly was because I woke up one day and I was like, "Yo, why am I suffering every single day for some stupid company that doesn't give a [ __ ] about me?" And my definition of suffering in my job is like waking up every day feeling dread to go to work to commute over an hour to the office when it's really not necessary to be in the room and in meetings back to back from the moment I wake up with people that I just genuinely don't like and that really piss me off because they're annoying and they suck at their job. The corporate voice and the corporate bureaucracy is so real and it gets even realer when you advance in your career. And I take it as being fake. Like I just have to be fake all the time because I can't show up and tell people like, "Hey, you're wrong." Or like, you know, let's try this other way because I know that it'll be better based on my experience. When you suggest something that's an improvement, it goes through like three to 10 conversations with people to try to convince people that it's the right way to do things. And it was just starting to kill my soul. And to me, suffering is really about not being able to be my authentic self every single day. I lost myself. I just went down the rabbit hole of trying to play the game in corporations and all for what? For money, for health insurance. Like there are other ways to get health insurance. >> I'm quitting my job. 350 followers when I don't even have 10 friends in real life. Stop. I'm basically at 500, which is halfway to 1,000, which is only 9,000 away from 10,000. So, I'm practically at a million followers. I'm quitting. I'm quitting. >> I'mma cut straight to the point. I got $152 in my account. All the bills are still due. And today's my last day at work to go pursue something that God has put on my heart to go do. I am allowing my faith to be bigger than my fear. Lord, have it all. You told me to do it. You said trust you. Okay, I'll trust you. You said go do this. YOU YOU YOU OPEN UP DOORS THAT I SHOULDN'T EVEN BE IN. And I said, "All right, I'll go do it." And I'm going to tell yall like this. I don't know what he's about to do. Okay? I don't know who this for. Take that chance. If he's put it on your heart, take that chance. I ain't saying go gonna quit your job. Go do that. I am doing that. But because he told me to. All right. But I don't know what he's telling you. But take that chance. Take that chance on him. Say that yes to him. Okay. Cuz I could think about all the times that I have just fully trusted him. And I was like, Lord, I don't know what I'm about to do. Do I still get nervous? Yes. I'm still human. But every time I think about all the times he I said yes to him and he took care of every single thing. I don't even KNOW HOW I DID IT cuz the money show went there BUT IT GOT TOOK CARE OF. I'm talking about EITHER IT GOT WIPED AWAY or it got paid. Don't know how. Listen, but then I do know how that almighty power. All right. What I'm telling y'all today is I love y'all. Take that chance. Take that CHANCE ON THE LORD. SAY YES. OKAY. I LOVE Y'ALL, but Jesus loves y'all more. Holla. >> So, yesterday I went in and kind of unexpectedly quit my job. I just had enough and my kids are grown. I'm single and I just want to get out in the world. So, I don't want to sit behind a desk, go home and make dinner, watch Wheel of Fortune, and then go to bed and on repeat. I'm going to sell my house. I'm going to hit the road and I don't know what I'm going to get into. >> Target for over four years. And in my time there, I was crossrained in every single department. I worked in over 10 different stores doing inventory. And I was in the process to become a team lead. I was in interviewing. I was offered positions. And I left the company last Monday for a lot of reasons that I am not going to shy away from. I also emailed the CEO last Monday. I also emailed my ETL, my store director, my HR manager, and the district manager, which received no response. Didn't expect to. Target's like every other company in this country. They only care about money. They only care about profit and metrics. Performance is all they care about, but how it gets done doesn't really matter. Target is fake it till you make it company. We had a corporate visit. We've been talking about it for about a week. They've been adding team members that don't actually work at our location to payroll to get the workload done to meet these insane demands. And then when corporate is scheduled to come that Friday, they cancel our truck. So now we don't have the proper workload that we usually do. So now you're bluffing the expectation. You're giving them a false sense of reality. I don't know if they told them, "Hey, we need more people." But I've been there for almost four and a half years. Corporates come many times. This has happened many times. It's a cycle that never ends. Which is why I see ETL's team members crying on the clock, overworked, stressed, and it's not even a stressful job. It's not a stressful environment. We're not heart surgeons. We're not firemen. I'm not going to be a part of this corporation because it's disgusting. I'd rather be broke and poor than be rich and make money off of the back of a disadvantaged system. They all sat upstairs and had a donut because the corporate meeting went well, but were the problems addressed? Were concerns even brought to their attention? I mean, I was asked what I could do to make the company better? I was asked by my ETL that and I said, "We need more people on payroll. I've been here for almost 5 years. That's really one of the only things." He laughed in my face and basically told me that's not going to happen. Multiple of my team leads, my managers have told me the hours are only going to get worse. They're only going to be cutting. You think you did a good job at your corporate meeting when that is what you're telling your employees. If you have any questions about Target as a corporation, as a company, please let me know. You know, when you're sitting at work and you're like, I absolutely hate this job. I hate this job so much. I want to quit. I want to sell my house. I want to get rid of most of my crap. uh pack up a few hoodies, the dog, and just run away from everything that I know and hate. Here goes nothing. I quit my job exactly a week ago today because I want to do social media full-time. I quit my job exactly a week ago today knowing that all of my bills get charged this week. So, I woke up today super super super discouraged and regretful and feeling like I made the wrong decision and I'm scared and I'm emotional and [sighs] I'm blaming my period because God god forbid I doubt myself. So, I'm blaming my period because that's the womanly thing to do right now. I go to get gas because my gas tank is on E this morning and I am like great. Gonna go get gas right before I spend $10 on coffee. Wonderful. I'm pumping gas. Well, no, I'm not pumping gas. I couldn't pump gas because my car declined because I forgot to transfer money from my other account into my spending account, which is the account that I use to pay for gas. [sighs] My car note and my insurance got taken out. So then my account was in the negatives. I didn't notice this morning before I had to go get gas. I'm pumping gas. I'm staring at the car like this. Just pumping gas in my head. Just my mind is going a mile a minute. And because I was panicking instead of praying, a random man at the gas station looks at me and goes, "You're going to be a millionaire one day." And I'm looking at him in awe because the only person that knows exactly what was going through my mind in that point in time was God. It was God. And this man didn't cat call. This man didn't tell me I was beautiful. This man didn't try to pump my gas for me. This man looked at me and said, "You're going to be a millionaire one day." And then giggled and said it again and goes, "You don't know who I am." And I was like, "I don't know who you are." like or do I know who you are? But I know who is speaking through you. And so with that being said, pray. Don't panic because that's exactly the mistake that I made this morning. I was panicking instead of praying. And God said, "H, you going to hear me today?" >> And stop coming to work with thating attitude, [ __ ] You're going to clock in one day with that funky attitude and you going to clock the out with a black eye and a foot up your cuz you can't stop coming in that [ __ ] with an attitude. You already turning an all an all right day for everybody else on shift into an even worse day because they have to encounter you and your stank attitude cuz you don't want to be there. Stay the home. Better yet, quit the job. Just quit the [ __ ] Stay home and be mad at home. Stop coming around people with them attitudes at that job. Nobody wants to work. You're mad because you don't want to work and you don't want to be there. Nobody wants to be there. No one wants to be there working that hard just for money, just for the [ __ ] to go on bills. It's not just specific to you. Either quit that or stay home. But for God's sake, stop coming to that job with that st attitude before somebody knock you in your [ __ ] one day. So, I just quit after my second day of work. Um, not even maybe an hour into my second day because this person who's supposed to be my trainer, first off, they say it's supposed to take 3 to 6 months to be fully trained. And this is at an eye doctor's place. This is like an optical technician uh position where you do the same thing on repeat every 15 to 20 minutes. It's not hard. Um, but it should not take 3 to six months to train anybody. So, I thought that they were just getting like, you know, people that were just really struggling in and I was like, "Okay, whatever." But after being with the trainer all day yesterday or the day before and not being allowed to touch anything or when I did touch something and like I I learned through trial and error, you know, I have to mess something up for me to be able to learn from it. That is just how I learn. That is how I feel most people learn. But she would not let me do anything. and I wrote something wrong on the clipboard and she like literally took it from my hand and she said I knew you weren't ready. Anyways, so that all happened yesterday and I was like whatever, it's fine. Maybe she just had a bad day. So I come in today thinking it'll be all right. Like it'll be better. I need this job, right? Well, one of the first patients that came in had Parkinson's disease. Okay, so he was shaking. They can't help that. But she was being so rude to this man for literally no reason. Okay, so he was having issues staying still, right? But you need to get pictures of their eyes. But she was getting a perfectly fine photo of the optic nerve. But she kept doing it again and again to the point where like she was getting mad with him like like raising his like raising her voice at him like getting like yelling at this man and like sorry I could tell that he was like getting very upset and like super anxious about the whole thing. And he's like 80 plus. He's an old man, you know, and like it was it was hurting me. Like it I felt so disgusting watching that and I like tried stepping in and I'm like, "Hey, it's okay. Like just take a deep breath. You know, if you need to sit back for a second, like that's okay. You know, we do need this photo, but like just take a deep breath." And she looked at me and she mean mugged me and she said, "No, we need to get this going. There's no one else in the waiting room. We don't need to get it going. We started him 15 minutes early." Okay. He's the only one there and you're yelling at this man with Parkinson's for not being able to hold his head still. It's Parkinson's disease. You are working in an eye doctor's office. Like this is a medical like world and you're going to be rude to this man. That is so disgusting. And honestly like at that point I just walked. I told him I quit. Um and I told the the doctor that I quit because of his daughter's action. That's his daughter. >> Hi Hey, how's it going? >> Good. >> Sort of not. >> I can't say it. I don't know how to say it. >> I know. I knew it was coming when you said that. >> I know. I'm going to cry. [laughter] >> It's okay. It's Look, if it's what you feel like you need to do, then I totally get it. We will be so sad and we'll miss you, but I'm excited for you and you'll do awesome. >> [sighs and gasps] >> I'm like my heart is racing. I don't know why I'm so It's been so like hard to figure out what to do, but I think Yeah, I think I I I think I need to do it. I know I need to do it. >> People who quit their job before securing another one. Oh, baby, they ain't scared of nothing and you need to stay far away from them. They ain't scared of being homeless, jobless, carless, friendless. You know, it's good to be over your fears, but not all of them. You know, like me, I'm scared of the dark. So, I make sure I pay my light bill every month. If I don't pay nothing else, I'm gonna pay the light bill and that phone bill. Okay? Because I'm scared to not be able to work and I'm scared [clears throat] of the dark. But if you at somebody job and they piss you off and you say, "Yo, y'all, I quit." And you don't have a second source of income and you paying your own bills, you a bad some another. I don't never want to be that fearless. Look, I will go swimming with the sharks before I do some [ __ ] like that. I have quit a many jobs in my day, but never before securing another one. I'm a I'm a habitual job hopper, but not that bad. You know what I'm saying? I think the only time I did that was like maybe 18, and I quit working at um Ste cuz baby, they wanted to work me. But yeah, love you guys. Don't flat my tires. So, tonight is my final shift as a nurse. And honestly, I don't have a backup plan. I don't know what I really want to do and I don't know where to fully go from here. I quite honestly [music] just feel like there's got to be more to life than this. I've been so sick [music] both physically and mentally and I just need to start taking care [music] of myself. You know, I have a 10-month old son at home, and [music] I miss him, and I miss my husband. You'd think that working three shifts a week, whether it's day or night, would be so ideal, but really, it just takes everything from you. I currently work in labor and delivery and recovery and postpartum. We do all of it. [music] And it it was like my dream job. I kind of unexpectedly landed into um after I [music] had my son and it's been so rewarding in so many ways. I work with an amazing team of people. But at the end of the day, like I am giving so much more to these moms. Everything I have goes to these patients and I'll I'll sacrifice anything for them to the point where I come home with nothing left. I'm not eating. [music] I'm not sleeping. I've lost like 15 pounds since starting this job. My [music] cycle is all out of whack. You know, some before shift sometimes [music] I just I I feel like hopeless. I just [music] know that I'm made for more and I I don't know what that is yet. I'm terrified. I don't know. Come along with me on this journey. Um I'm about to head in now and I [music] am praying because they are already begging for help. I don't die tonight. So, let's do this. Well, uh, I survived my last shift as a nurse. It was pretty bad. Challenging [music] first time labor. I'm pretty sure we almost pushed for four whole hours with like some breaks in between. [music] I'm so tired. It is like an hour and a half later than I should be, but I'm done. I'm done. I'm about to go quit my job. My letter of resignation. >> Hi. Do you have a minute? I just have something I want to talk to you about real quick. Basically, today is going to be my last day here. Here's my resignation letter. Yeah, it's kind of unexpected. I just I'm truly so grateful for my experience here. Thank you so much. Like, please let me know if you ever need anything. We'll keep in touch. Hi. I need to open my laptop. >> I can't believe I'm sitting in the garage about to leave for the last time. Going to do the commute for the last time. But, you know, new job starts in a couple weeks. So, on to the next thing. >> Finally, I want you all to listen to Yuan call his boss to quit his job. You will not believe what his boss told him. Take a listen. >> I'm going to quit my job right now and you're going to listen to the conversation. >> Yes. Hello. >> Hey Kevin. Uh this is Johan calling. >> Yes. Hey. How you doing? >> Hey. Not bad man. Hey. Um I'm just calling to let you know man. I I got a job offer somewhere else and I think I'm going to take it up. >> And what? And you're going to >> Yeah, I I I'm accepting a job offer elsewhere. It's local, pays better, home every day. You know, something I can't really pass up. >> Um All right. I do have u an opening coming up that in the in the local work 3 days a week. Are they going to give you three days a week? Uh, no. They're going to give me five, but it's Monday to Friday and uh I'm pretty sure and it's, you know, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. I'm not sure that this guy really can accommodate. >> Yeah. Okay. >> All righty. How much notice are you going to provide here? >> Oh, well, I I'm not going back. I'm just going to start with them on Monday. >> Yeah, that's pretty shitty, man. That's pretty shitty. I understand, man, but it's really it's not really much I can I can do here. You know, the sleeping over the road stuff I signed up for, I understand, but uh I I got to think about myself here, too. I know it's not convenient for you. >> Yeah. Okay. Well, just that kind of karma comes back and you know, burning your bridges here. Um if you go and you don't like this so much, um I had a three-day work week available for you. Um, and you know, just be aware it, you know, uh, burning bridges like this in in your career is not a good idea. >> I understand, man. But, you know, I got to put myself first sometimes. It's not all about burning bridges. >> Well, okay. Well, that's that's your option, man. That's your option, man. So, I get it. Thanks so much. Uh, I don't know. Just Best of luck. >> All right, man. Appreciate it. Take it easy. >> Yeah. Goodbye. >> Did he say that that type of karma comes back to me? Okay. He told me that that 3-day work week schedule was going to open up in maybe one year. One year. I have to call and quit for you to offer me that. And I promise you that if I was going to get fired, I wouldn't get a two weeks notice. That's not going to happen. And you know what? I'm so glad I quit now because these are the true colors that I was going to run into further down the line sooner or later. Anyway, thank you for tagging along. >> If you have already quit in your heart but can't afford to walk away yet, this message is for you. You want to quit, not just a job, but the pretending, the pressure, the peacekeeping. You've quit a hundred times in your mind during meetings, on lunch breaks, while driving home in silence. I want you to know that you're not lazy. You're just tired. You're not ungrateful. You're just done. And that's totally okay. So, what am I saying here? All I'm saying is if you have to quit that job for your mental health, go right ahead and do it in order to keep your sanity. So, I hope you enjoyed the video.
