I listened to this WHOLE video! Very rare!

I gave a 2 week notice. I walked off the job. In 2 weeks, they'll certainly notice. 😉🫡

Thank god i'm not a frog, had the same issue twice, asked myself all the wrong questions for a while to prevent leaving toxic jobs but those questions were never a thing to last, always saw through bullshit and bullshit promises, i cant be a sheep. Stop being sheep and slaves, if you did the best you could and still feels like shit, you aint getting any better ? f that job.

Froggy 🐸

Im the weakest link! Inadequate, sad and never felt so dumb at work. Im affraid to leave the security of a well paying salary in a time where people are struggling. I should feel lucky, right!?

Thanks

I just had a full on breakdown and cry session. I’ve been watching videos like these for months straight. I wish I could quit but unfortunately I need money. So I have to keep strategizing and looking for my exit during this tough time in the Job market

BAD bosses are friends and family so NOT only allowed but portected by upper exploiters

I swear 100% BOSSES are family and friends that is Y toxicity is allowed and protected

1. lies and cheat 2. belittles 3. prevents your success 4. NO training

If your BOSS is a POS nothing will change - ONLY remedy is GETTING a new job

Extremely beneficial video, thank you!

What the! BETA! That's why no one will remember your name.

44:22 extremely impactful statement sir. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

The issue is the American model that is infesting the world. And is now doing it more so with last nights European decision. Ultimately the end goal is to make it so we can’t quit. I hate my job if there years. In the US I can’t quit because I don’t have enough savings to carry me through a year in the event the technology job market continues to be this way. Government isn’t doing shit and majority of postings are bogus so you apply and don’t even get interviews. I’m now applying for the last six months.

Very good video. Thanks you!

I recently quit the job I've been at for 11 years. But...since it's a contractor job, and we work when we want (which for me is 24/7 because that's the only way to claim jobs to do and make any money), they didn't know of my decision. So it felt SO good at first. But after about a week, I panicked and went back. Unfortunately, I don't have the financial means to just stop working. I have bills to pay. It's really sucking the life out of me, though. The pay rates have crashed over the years, and they just exploit all of us because they know they can. Thanks so much for this video, though!

Part of me is like. Just another month. Just another month. My boss joked around that i wouldnt be supported if I quit 6 months in to the job and found something else. Hes also joked twice about firing me. The issue is Im underpaid and I need something to get money so I can pay for a car and an apartment away from my parents. Im 30 so theres a good reaspn there. My manager outside of joking poorly is a good natured guy. Hes just idiotic sometimes. He stopped doing it when another manager saw it happen. But, I am constantly gaining weight even if Im eating less and less. My job before this was a warehouse job. This is a career job. The last one was much harder, but the people werent fake and I felt like I was respected there. People thank me there, but it doesnt feel like they mean it. They just say it as a metric to retain workers. My goal is to get to 1 year or close to it before changing jobs. 7 months right now. Only 5 left.

Awesome video. This is everything I needed to hear, and you have addressed every thought that has crossed my mind pertaining to quitting my miserable job. Thank you for taking the time to make this!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your words of advice ring true and resonate with me. I particularly identify with Chapter 8. It is unfair for my loved ones to bear the brunt of my less-than-ideal work situation. I have to be smarter about dealing with bosses and coworkers who couldn't care less anyway.

I want to quit but I want them to fire me so I can at least collect unemployment. But they're taking their sweet time.

Thank you for your video. I find it very supportive.

I've been wanting to quit my job but just the fact I need to give a 2 month notice dreads me to the point I don't do it :(

Man I got outta grad school and got a job with a startup. It felt like work made me dumber and dumber cause my manager/boss didnt know anything about the products we were building and I my college work was better than anything we produced. I would frankly be super embarresed to have my name on the stuff we did.

Your video is Excellent! All your points you made I could relate to. Thank you for sharing. You no doubt have helped alot of people.

Thanks for this video. I've reached the point of burnout and it's starting to affect my relationship with my family cause I'm always irritated. I'm gonna quit this freakin job. it's not worth this

I was in an abusive roommate situation and was ridiculed for quitting a lot due to mental breakdowns because the stress of the job AND the bitch roommate was TOO MUCH. So much that I attempted “the thing” multiple times. One day, I had the courage to say enough is enough and decided to move out of state and moved in with an online friend. I disconnected from all the people who enabled this life that was literally killing me. I was unemployed for over a year and i was FINALLY able to process and HEAL from my trauma! Years and years of trauma! I know not everyone has the privilege to do this and at the time, i didnt think I had that option either. I stopped being afraid of leaving shit work places. I felt i had control of my life again and not at the mercy of my job and people’s judgment of me. And I MAKE MORE than i ever did (still not livable tho but that’s capitalist America for you). No job is worth your LIFE! Read that again!

Great topics here and some solid examples to counter the all-too-common reality of management. Keep it up.

Just quit my horrible job today and this video was instrumental in helping my work up the courage to do it. I will be starting a new job which I hope is a better fit. Thanks for this amazing video.

Do you have any advice if you think your current job is "cockblocking" you from getting another? I've had several new job prospects suddenly change attitude after talking with my current hr

inspiring 🍀🍀

Company/business exist for solve, create, or manage stuff people want or need, never for earn money. Money is fuel for company/business can operate but is never its goal.

I've definitely done the whole. If I quit they win thing, I've been guilty of that

The boiling frog metaphor is not real. It just sounds good and it's a good story.- lol , If I listen to your video 5 minutes longer , I'd see you said that haha 😆 now I've gotta watch the whole video adhd be damned.

"Stockholm Syndrome" is basically a natural "fawning" response to avoid additional pain or suffering on behalf of the victim. If you can puff up your captor's ego, they might go easy on you. The other responses are fight, flight or freeze.

I will say it's generally better to get fired in the US, than quit unless you have another job lined up. However, if you know you're being forced out, definitely document what was happening to make certain your quitting is really constructive dismissal. You're more likely to get unemployment this way. had to stay in a job for about 20 years because every time, I wanted to quit, my ex-husband decided to quit HIS job and since I was the main bread winner, I was screwed. Eventually, I divorced him. However, I stayed at the job for a couple more years because I knew there was going to be a layoff with a fat severance awaiting me plus the benefits were good. Had it not been for my ex, I'd left it years ago. Despite the severance and benefits, my career was basically cut off at the knees.

Wow thank you so much for all the effort in this video! It’s so hard to escape the anti quitting propaganda that is everywhere!

Ah yes, the myth of white male privilege.

Quitting a job to get into another is just BS. Why on earth to select yet another slave master. Sorry bro, but QUITTING means doing your own thing and the anxiety comes only with that. Not making enough money is the first.

My friend, we already have single payer health insurance. It's called Obamacare and its existence has increased our costs three-fold in the last decade.

Thank you for giving your advice - explaining and realizing how some people feel so stuck having to work in such bad endless situations with having no support nor understanding of how toxic somebody truly is by not showing appreciation for all you do and keep treating you as yesterday's trash and not like a person that works hard to please. It's not fun. I realize within time I will be able to leave, quit & never look back! (Freed from working with non-workable people & hurtful agencies that doesn't care about their employees.

damn I teared up at the end about not being that brainless frog 😢

Brilliant and very inspirational👍

Glad I watched this video because it reinforced that I’m in a toxic work environment and it’s time to leave

i needed this, really

I gained 80 pounds in two years in my last toxic position! I left without notice and started my new job. Six months later, I sleep better and I have lost 25 pounds.

Ive been working on a job that i hate for 13 years, and now, finally i quit and start to work on profession i really adore

I had a bad interview earlier this year where I was asked why do you have a few jobs on your resume that you only stayed at 2 yrs or so? I said It took about 2 yrs to figure out if the position continued to contribute to developing my career/ skillset. If not, then it was time to fill that void. They didn't like that answer and I was ghosted from the next round of interviews. dodged a bullet there.

In Ontario Canada the provincial government publicly, unbelievably goes after disabled people who are on a type of support called the Ontario Disability Support Program. Implying that they are scam artists for not working. Even though it is a very stringent process to get this disability support in the first place. They do this so that the general public doesn't become outraged that the disabled receiving this ODSP live way below the official poverty line and how disgusting and discriminatory this is. Many of them become suicidal. From their disability,the poverty they face and the psychological abuse and stereotypes being perpetuated by their own government. The suicide rates spiked during Covid.Mean while the Federal government's answer is to create a fast track for people to access assisted suicide for the disabled instead of offering counselling/ supports.

Brilliant video, thank you so much
