I QUIT My 9-5 Job After Learning THIS (with no backup plan)

This is the story of how I decided to quit my 9-5 job and with that, corporate life in general. I hope what I share helps you with your decision if you're also contemplating to quit your job, and maybe inspires you to do what you really want to do with your life.
(I filmed this in December, but only now managed to edit it...I'll explain why in the next video)

Without fear there’s no bravery. Live the life of your dreams according to your vision and purpose. You got this!

[@SaviorKnight]

Im burnt-out working 60 hours a week at my 9 to 5. After my leadership promotion i started to dislike my job. I might just quit soon.

[@hnnhml]

Oh I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you’ll find a better path for you soon:)

[@joevail6959]

My workplace culture had eroded. No sense of teamwork anymore. Burnt out working 60 hours a week on the regular. Work life balance meant nothing to my employer. My supervisor got his position by default and is lazy and immature. His micromanaging was the last straw so I quit on the spot two weeks ago. I'm currently living off my savings. I can survive for about the next five or six months but I have never felt so free after quitting my job. I have an interview Thursday for a PE teacher position. Life's work. Stout hearts.

[@TikaGhafar]

This resonated sooo much with me as I'm going through the same process rn. I love how you just up and quit and decided to move to your "soul city". Super inspiring and comforting watch ❤

[@hnnhml]

🥰💛

[@andyxmunoz]

You are bold, but the universe rewards the bold!

[@hnnhml]

Hehe lets hope so 🤞🏼

[@8Infiniti8]

Left 5 corporate jobs over the last 5 years. Absolutely no regret - I can barely remember them. Finally in a good position to pursue what I wanted to do. But still in fears stage.

[@hnnhml]

@@8Infiniti8 that sounds great, no regrets is a good sign - and I guess the fears stage never fully goes away😅 keep it up🙌🏻

[@janisjekabsons6252]

The end of rollin rollin was funny 😂

[@abbywallner_]

Ty sister ❤ im quitting my job today & this is very real!!! I am in. The same boat as u & this gave me a lot of confirmation

[@hnnhml]

Oooh CONGRATS gurl!! I’m proud of you for taking the leap😃🙌🏻 feel free to keep me posted on how its going😊

[@NeighborhoodWatchMann]

Im about to do it, but ive been homeless before and it sucks badly! Living in your car with no access to showers is hard. I make over 100k a year now, but boy am I suffering emotionally. Im jacked and fit so im physically fine, but my mental is wearing on me from the stress of corporate and looming layoffs what seems like every 4 months. It really starts to wear on me when i think of going through this another 25+ years (im only 30 now) and that it wont get any better as it stands now. So im about to take the leap, but i got to figure out how not to be homeless. If you havent been homeless in america, then just wait. It aint like germany. Especially if youre an able working young man. They have no fucking pitty!

[@hnnhml]

Oh I believe that it’s a whole different thing in the US! Germany does have a pretty good social security system, which I’m very thankful for. But this really doesn’t sound too good. Have you thought about maybe taking on a part time position instead, to pay for the bills but to have more time to yourself?

[@NeighborhoodWatchMann]

@@hnnhml Yea i have, but im leaning toward more of investing and building a business. I hate that i even said that, but i cant work another 10 years in corporate, even though its good money. Thanks for the reply and suggestion!!

[@IvanSergio1984]

Welcome back! 🐢🫡

[@hnnhml]

Thanks 🐢 🫡

[@alanikeiser]

8:57 that’s not all I want!! This is why I’m leaving

[@hnnhml]

You go alani🙌🏻 congrats on making the decision:)

Couldn't have said it better!

Thank you for sharing

Thank you for watching🥰

[@user-cq9ph5pz1j]

I lived in Germany for 4 years and recently moved back to the states . Allot of my German friends seem to have this idea of having a secure job their whole lives. How did your friends react to you quitting your job?

[@hnnhml]

True - kind of understandable, as a “secure” job here is actually pretty secure, since it’s difficult for companies to fire someone as you probably know:D My friends were actually super supportive, congratulating me for “being brave” and taking the leap, which I’m very grateful for:)

[@user-cq9ph5pz1j]

@@hnnhml That great to hear. Imagine it's quite an interesting time in this journey of yours. Do you have a video on the Turning point that you faced working a corporate job and what made you want to leave?

[@hnnhml]

@@user-cq9ph5pz1j Oh it definitely is an interesting time indeed :D Not really, this is the only one where I talk about my decision to quit in more detail...but I might make another one where I talk about the turning point(s) :)

[@DanasDiary.]

Can I ask what the big media company you worked for or is that private? I want to find a good job ☺️

[@hnnhml]

For now I'd like to not name any names - but its a company only active in German speaking countries anyways:) But overall I can definitely recommend Germany as a country to get a corporate job, as there a lots of good employers with good benefits!

[@DanasDiary.]

@@hnnhml Kann ich gut verstehen :) sorry, spreche auch Deutsch haha. Ich überlege wieder nach Deutschland zu ziehen. Bin nämlich in ner ähnlichen Situation wie du mit meinem Job, lebe aber im Ausland und das macht alles ein bisschen schwieriger. Mach auf jeden Fall weiter mit den videos, mir helfen deine videos richtig :)

[@hnnhml]

⁠@@DanasDiary.ah hi:D ja beides hat seine vor und nachteile, ich bin die ganze zeit am überlegen wie wieder ins ausland komme:D freut mich🥰

[@DanasDiary.]

@@hnnhml Hast du immer noch den Plan nach New York zu ziehen? Drücke dir die Daumen 🥰

[@hnnhml]

@@DanasDiary. yes, bzw mein optimalplan ist halb in münchen, halb in nyc zu sein- ob das irgendwann mal klappt, wird sich zeigen:D

[@GenX_US_Marine]

You Gen Z's have no idea what work is. You guys can't even get out of bed without complaining about something.

[@hnnhml]

You might be right about that, partly..I agree that older generations had to work very differently than the younger ones, on average. But also I think many of today’s jobs aren’t really necessary, as in they either don’t provide any substantial value to the employing companies or they could and maybe should be replaced by software - at least from my experience. And complaints are usually the beginning of change, so I don’t think that complaining is bad, if it’s followed by action:)

[@GenX_US_Marine]

@@hnnhml Us Gen Xers are keeping this planet thriving right now. Our work ethic is completely different than yours. We understand that we had to earn everything. You guys want stuff handed to you without doing the work...just because. It's entitlement. I work with a shit ton of you Gen Z's and they are hands down the worst employees in the entire building. They are a nightmare to work with. They have no self discipline and zero work ethic. They bitch and complain about EVRYTHING.

[@colleenb6712]

You’re gen X, you complain about everything.
