When to quit your job without a plan

[@berettagunowner]

I quit my job without a plan before, I didn't have a lot of money, but no debt either.. I simply refused to bow down to corporate bullying.. Never have I once regretted my decision.

[@annaselundberg]

That's amazing, well done for standing up for yourself and here's to no regrets!

[@smoothiecutie2277]

Good and right on. I with you 100% on this.

[@philattlee1]

My wife and I both quit our jobs at separate places without a plan, then got work at the same place, met each other, liked what we saw, married for 43_years.

[@annaselundberg]

What an amazing story! Thanks so much for sharing :-D

[@ladybee1909]

Wow! 😍😍😍🥂

[@prernasoy4929]

I just handed in my resignation letter an hour ago without having a plan. And this video pops up the first thing I open KZbin 😃 of course I'm single, no obligation, little money but no debts. I was very sure that this job is not something I wanted to do longterm as it was affecting my physical and mental health. Onwards and upwards from here!

[@annaselundberg]

Ahh that is either a little creepy, or it's a sign from the universe ;-) Congratulations on taking the leap and above all for putting your physical and mental health first. Here's to your success!

[@prernasoy4929]

@@annaselundberg I truly believe that it's a sign from the universe :)

Hey are you Indian?

[@aalnandrews]

I quit my full time job because I was being bullied. I was miserable.

[@annaselundberg]

So sorry to hear about the bullying, no one should have to put up with that. I hope you've been able to find a better culture?

[@aalnandrews]

No I work part time once a week. I would feel better if I work for myself then finding a job.

[@annaselundberg]

@@aalnandrews Working part-time is already a great transition to create that space to figure out what to do and to begin to build that. Check out my resource onestepoutside.com/roadmap as a first step!

[@BeastTheButcher]

I just quit my job recently after 15 years of misery and I haven’t a clue what I should be doing 😳

[@annaselundberg]

The beauty is that there is no "should". The first step here is for you to take a step back, reflect, explore, and work out what's important to you, what you want to be doing - and then how you can make it work. Have a look at my resource here as well: onestepoutside.com/roadmap to get started :)

[@aaajjjmmm1863]

Just find a job that suits up ur experience and skillets

[@breefabulous]

Just quit on a whim today, I couldn’t take it anymore. Mentally exhausting and 40 hrs weekly is a lot to ask for poor compensation. I have another gig and I’m taking some time to get certified in some in demand skills. Wish me luck!

[@annaselundberg]

Congratulations Bree on taking the leap! Well done for already having something else lined up, and for upskilling in the meantime. Looking forward to hearing more!

[@breefabulous]

@@annaselundberg thank you! I will keep you updated 😊

[@breefabulous]

Update: I landed a recruiter call with Amazon. The recruiter and I will stay in touch while I finish some training. Also, I have started a business as a notary signing agent and begun marketing. I am a almost on job #3 where I schedule myself for all of those. Finishing onboarding for 2 this week hopefully. Y’all, you can do this. You deserve this & YOU GOT THIS. Best wishes and many blessings to all that needed to see this ♥️

[@annaselundberg]

@@breefabulous love it thanks for passing on the encouragement to those that follow in your footsteps

[@martezosunde]

I love your honesty, I quit even though there was no plan. It was bad for my wellbeing so I quit, now I'm picking up the right pieces and building something good for myself. Thank you so much

[@annaselundberg]

Congratulations on taking the leap and putting yourself and your health first. As you say, it is about picking up the right pieces, and that will take time, but you're building something with intention that's going to work for you and that's an amazing thing. Best of luck!

[@martezosunde]

@@annaselundberg I'm grateful, thank you.

[@Kingelow1]

I'm going to quit on Monday without a plan. I'm tired of this job and i feel like now is the perfect time to quit since I don't have many obligations like family children mortgage etc. Thanks for sharing your story?

[@annaselundberg]

Congratulations on taking the leap! It definitely helps not to have those obligations, although it's still possible then - it just takes more planning to manage the risk. Best of luck and let me know how you get on!

[@Kingelow1]

@@annaselundberg I followed through and handed in my resignation letter yesterday. I had a lot of doubts before doing it but now I'm happy that I did it 🙂

[@annaselundberg]

@@Kingelow1 hurrah! The doubts will come back but over time you'll get to a place where you can't imagine anything different. Do come and join us over in the One Step Outside Facebook group if you want to be around people who have done the same! :D

[@aaajjjmmm1863]

You can do it, life is full of surprises

[@mariancounsellor]

It’s a lot easier to quit a job without a plan if you have no mortgage and savings. That makes 💯 difference and is the reason why most people feel trapped and unable to quit.

[@Bluemortal001]

exactly

[@nxtgen2b416]

Interesting. Even more so that this video showed up on my feed when I never did any search of any kind for it - yet I've been pondering this topic in my mind for months now. Interesting !

[@annaselundberg]

Now that's... a little bit creepy but also very cool! What are you thinking? 👀

[@nxtgen2b416]

@@annaselundberg financially, I'm ok for a few months to stay unemployed. I can find work in my trade because I have good reputation out there. However, having been kept on the back burner at my work, I feel like it's time to move on. Much younger cowarkera are being hired into a position far more suited to my qualifications ( but they hire these young people because of wage, lol. Make sense yet ! ) And I'm expected to train and give my life long experiences to them as well. So In short, I will not do that and it's now time to find something more directional for me and my skill. Shame, 15 years there but not lost. Something good comes from it too. Glad I subscribed here. Thanks

[@annaselundberg]

@@nxtgen2b416 Oof yes employers are a bit cheeky wanting your experience and expertise but not wanting to pay accordingly. As you get older, you definitely have more of an opportunity to be more proactive and build out your personal brand and career on your own terms. It's an exciting time for you, I'm glad you found me and hope you see more videos of value. You might also want to check out my free resource onestepoutside.com/roadmap

Today I left my badge and office keys on my desk and emailed my resignation letter after my shift. In the letter I asked to mail my check to my address (even though I filed a direct deposit) two days prior). I will mail them my parking pass and make sure to have them sign it. However, I received a voicemail stating to come into the office and sign a formal resignation letter in order for them to release my check. Seriously? I choose to be at peace with all this.

[@virtualbro8571]

I have newly joined a job... No one has bullied me or something....buy i always feel i don't know anything about this job and I can't perform.... What should i do? I always feel like quitting...why is it so??

[@joe2755]

Keep learning and keep notes of it. Even a bit of information you learn a day. It is worthful. If u do it daily at the end of the year, you will have sufficient knowledge to survive. Don't stop learning. All the best for your new job.

[@Sukerkin]

Don’t quit on a whim? Oops! :lol: Well, that’s only so if that whim took eight years of being dissatisfied and corporately ‘bullied’ to manifest :)

[@annaselundberg]

Aha yes you're right, sometimes that 'whim' or immediate trigger could be a long time coming... Congratulations on taking the leap!

[@archavenx]

i'm looking to quit my job which i find really difficult as i needed the money. but i ended up in an emotional and mental struggle as employers are changing my job scope, putting up unreasonable expectations and in a toxic political environment. it will be a definite struggle as the pay is really needed for daily survival. not really sure what to do and has to succumb to boss bullying and eventually failed in the new challenges which you have no passion of.

[@Diana-yr8kr]

Hello! Same here! What sis you do in the end?

[@montystelevision3238]

I am seriously wanting to qui. Yes mental and physical anguish is occurring too. I’m in the Uk

[@annaselundberg]

It's such a tough situation! If you can, try to find a way to make more space for yourself, to prioritise your own mental and physical wellbeing in the meantime, and then when you feel up to it start looking for an exit strategy.

grandma always said " dont quit a job without having a job..." i failed that a few times but i think its good advise... you never know when the economy or some other life issue comes up... have several marketable skills... dont box yourself in. HAVE MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME!! invest/ work/ and build a small business... x10

[@BEACHDUDE71]

I cut my hours at work in half

[@colinmaharaj]

I tried that. But didn't work. I need a plan

[@annaselundberg]

Hi Colin, that's understandable, it can be quite overwhelming and even when we quit without a plan we still need to come up with a plan sooner rather than later. Have a look at my roadmap for a start - let me know how you get on? onestepoutside.com/roadmap

[@richardsmith8790]

All these videos are people who quit on a whim but didn't have any financial burdens. If you have a family to feed and bills coming out of your ears you're more likely than not going to be stuck in this purgatory 😢

[@annaselundberg]

Hi Richard absolutely! If you have dependents, mortgage etc then you need to take this into account. I have lots of other articles and freebies on my site onestepoutside.com to help with this. Take small steps over time and you'll get there!

[@richardsmith8790]

@@annaselundberg Thanks a lot for your comment, I have been thinking about going at it alone for years now, but haven't been in a position to take that leap of faith with two kids under 16. I'll take a look at the info you have provided and thanks again

[@annaselundberg]

@@richardsmith8790 totally get it! I have kids now but I didn't when I took the leap 10+ years ago and it absolutely changes things. BUT if you are feeling stuck and really want to make that change all the more important to start making some shifts and look for ways to make it more possible. Best of luck, I hope it helps!
