I Quit My Job With No Backup Plan

[@lysadamour7645]

I'm so glad people are finally not giving a 2 weeks notice. The employers don't give employees that courtesy and never have . they don't deserve our respect. Everything you said at the beginning about your mental health is exactly me. I don not get a moment of rest with the pressure of my job and I dread every moment of every day. Even when I'm off, I can't enjoy myself because of the impending doom.

[@sp3357]

I had told my manager I’m stressed out She goes to say you didn’t finish your shift I said you know what don’t even worry about it I quit and the main cause was do to her up and down behavior one day it clicked I said I’m not doing this and walked out.

[@brendaechols5929]

When I had my last job, I couldn't even look for a job. It was so physically exhausting . I was tired and in pain from the constant respective movement.

[@wilmaris]

I felt the exact same way. It’s been almost a month and I told myself that if I started a job, I was going to at least take this entire month off to give myself a break. I haven’t ever taken a break since I started working. It was very much needed.

[@RomanicHopeless]

10 plus years Call center employee here! EVERYTHING you said is on point! I have coworkers that have had to admit themselves into a mental clinic bcus of how stressful this job is. Also, those weekly meetings are horrible! Then having to tell basically a no one why you are having anxiety or having to explain your mental health is horrible! I’m so glad you quit.

[@wilmaris]

It’s so terrible. When you first start, they act like they truly care, and are willing to work with you/accommodate any problem you have. They really don’t when it comes down to it. Sadly, this is how it is though with most corporate jobs. They damn near expect you to eat sleep and breathe the job like you don’t have a life outside of it.

[@curatedwithsafiyya]

So I am not a nut case just someone that works in a call center

[@rejectionistmanifesto8836]

Worse is that you dont have the option to only work 3 or 4 days a week if you are willing to accept only that much pay for what you worked. They will force you to work 5 days a week unless you are in the medical field where more jobs allow flexible schedules for prorated pay based on the hours you worked.

[@myleneVA]

girl , working on a call center is deadly (for me) haha. I get sick a lot. I wont last long as you did

[@sepirocth]

I did call center work and must say it should against the law 😂, ai should do all call center work, i used to look at people cleaning toilets and used to envy them, i wished i could have kept working for the company wiping toilets instead of taking calls.

[@bashirauwal5825]

Great content, truly inspiring. I am proud of you As a RN (registered nurse) I'm not afraid of loosing my job or quitting my job because I learnt how to save to invest putting my money back to work to make more money. I'm not just after the money but the freedom to live on my terms

[@bashirauwal5825]

Yeah I make 3k as extra income from my investing trying so much to build more side hustles and extra income

[@albertcharles4415]

You're doing great, keep it going @bashirauwal

[@bashirauwal5825]

There's a lot if investing options real estate, st ocks, cr ypto, ETFs but my best advice get a professional lead you into profitable one and make good financial decisions

[@bashirauwal5825]

Yeah I work with Rachel Blanc, she's a great expert and has been influential in my financial journey, I recommend her to everyone

[@bashirauwal5825]

That's her web profile

[@feefee8627]

I'm quiting my job my boss seems to micromanage me and none of my other coworkers. Guess what I've been there longer than them as well. I'm going back to college in the fall so this is my plan b.👍👍👍

[@wilmaris]

I’m sorry to hear that. I know it’s tough but honestly it’s not worth it. It’ll only get worse so I’m glad you are choosing to put yourself first and leave a toxic situation. Wishing the best for you!

[@samillethebrand]

Trust I'm on the same path! I am proud of you! You will be fine, all of us will be fine. GOD DEFINITELY GOT US!

[@wilmaris]

We were meant to cross this path for a reason

[@nathananderson8720]

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 312 subs and almost > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@xxzoeylolxx]

This is my exact feelings.. I’m watching this on a Sunday night (actually early Monday morning because it’s after midnight) crying because I’m dreading going to work tomorrow.. I hate this shit soo much. 😢

[@seriejohnson698]

Right, Sunday evenings are the worst thinking about having to be back on the phones 😢uugghh.

[@lorrainei1622]

You have to do what’s best for you. I’ve come to the conclusion that I just don’t want to work for anyone. I want to be my own boss and run my own business so I’ll be going part time at my current job soon so that I can focus more on my online tshirt brand that I'm currently working on. I’ll be running an online tshirt business and doing pop-up events to sell my tshirts and because I live in nyc it’s popular here. There’s always pop upevents, art street fairs etc so I know I’m in the right city to do this. I’m a creative and I love art, vintage and 90s retro. We have to do what makes us happy. Life’s too short to be at a job we hate everyday. Find what you love doing and focus more on that and try to earn a living doing that and maybe just find a part time job to do also. That’s my advice.😊

[@wilmaris]

I feel the same I just am still in the process of trying to figure out what I want to do. It’s hard honestly but I truly wish the best for you! ♥️

[@konghere]

I did 2 call center jobs and they were so draining and highly micro managed. My first call center job was a tech support, helping truck drivers troubleshoot their onboard computers. Badly trained. Toxic work environment. Being yelled at for hours on the phone. No support from my boss. This job was the only time i woke up and told myself "nope im not going in anymore." Best decision ever lol. A year later i got another call center job in healthcare. Better than the first job but still draining. After a year and a half there, i told myself if i cant move up in the company to a non-call center position by the end of year, im going to quit. Thankfully i had a great boss and was with a company that supports growth. I got into a better career, no phone tasks at all. I am never going back to call center lol.

[@curatedwithsafiyya]

I use to work from home I loved it. They took that away and moved our schedules all around and one day I already walked out. Now I am having anxiety attacks. To me women shouldn’t have to work full time if they don’t want to our bodies are enough to deal with.

[@fairy7101]

You are so right about that.

[@iman4807]

Holy shit !! I thought I was the only one that went through what you described.

[@TO8]

I hate call centre environments, colleagues were toxic, management was rude, turnover was high with people quitting. Not my cup of tea to constantly take calls. Corporations and governments work with each other and they don't care if people are physically or mentally drained or go insane. People have to remember, you are replaceable, do not give your soul to a company no matter how tough or intimidating they try to be.

[@elizmon8526]

Some jobs, are downright demeaning. To be placed under a microscope and having someone mentally on your back - that's literally harassment. So yes it's toxic! Not all corporate jobs even in this field are like this. And yes, when they don't want you there--they will just let you go--NO 2 week notice. They will even dismiss you via a Zoom call. Unfortunately, when you are not employed, recruiters will mess with you and make you feel like you are not "employable". I agree, your mental health is a priority.

[@workinprogresssince1974]

Thankfully customer care is a sector I've always managed to avoid. I don't like having to deal with people, answer phones or deal with aggressive situations. I'd of crumbled in the first hour! I admire anyone who can stick to a job like that and not quit. I am also a big advocate for quitting jobs that are bad for your physical / mental health. It is never worth the money to sacrifice your mind and body.

[@mariancounsellor]

Your backup plan is savings then. Having no money to pay the bills is possibly the reason most people don’t quit their jobs without a plan. It only switches from one type of stress to another type of stress if there’s no plan.

[@wilmaris]

Yes and that is why I mentioned waiting until you have one if possible.

[@Rheisler1475]

I was at a patient scheduler job for 3 months. Within those 3 months, three people quit including my boss, I was told I was hired out of desperation and I was verbally abused by a coworker. That same coworker leaves every day at 2:30 because she was part time, it was only me after that because the two other people quit, I was getting home at 6 pm or 7 every day, my neck was starting to get tense with stress, same thing was happening with my boss and she was a practice nurse. Once she left, they brought in some hospital administrator who was using different software technologies to hopefully fix the over whelming amount of patients we have but that only made it worse for the employees. I left two weeks ago. I will take my experience and look elsewhere. Already had a call from a hospital to be a scheduler, but I feel I would be put right back into the fire 🔥. Thank you for this video. Don’t give up people!

[@lordshenfan6625]

jobs are not easy and you have got to learn that there is always going to be bad and good things in any job. At the end of the day you are paid for it and have to grow thick skin. I have had bad and good experiences with work but you shouldn't care what people think of you. I know what it's like and my managers are unlikable monsters. But my mind set is it's there problem not yours. Stay strong and remember people are morons.

[@veronicapalacio4743]

I feel you completely, you are not a quitter, just your job had difficult conditions and you look for a better life, there´s nothing wrong with that, hugs

[@ashleyrichardson2351]

I’m a Claim Adjuster for an insurance company. I’m mentally drained and the only reason and the only thing that’s stopping me from logging in morning is because I have a 1 year old that depends on me. I absolutely HATE progressive! I have never in my life felt so little, and micro-managed. Everytime I’m told to go into coaching, I already know I’m being put on some sort of verbal or warning. I’m so happy I found your video. Everyone keeps telling me to pray 🙏🏾. I’m doing the best I can everyday but I can’t take it anymore. I sometimes have heart palpitations on Sunday nights knowing I have to log on monday mornings. It’s so hard finding remote positions that pay well.. and God knows, if I had a savings, I would have done what you did! ❤😢

[@truthbetold6942]

Research FMLA as well as ADA. Ask your doctor to put you off on state disability. Heal yourself while you are off, and start looking for a job. The important thing is to put your company on notice that you have a protected medical condition.

[@DanasDiary.]

Bless your heart, sounds like a horrible job. I went through a similar thing and watching this makes me feel really understood :)

[@AlchemistM2291]

Girl I needed this so much- from my heart thank you

[@metalmonkeyvideos]

Thank you for sharing your story. I had a similar experience late 2021 and had vlogged briefly about it on my channel. Sometimes I ask myself if I ever regretted quitting back then. I can honestly say that I don't, even when facing a long unemployment. I did do a few contract jobs after that but at least the depression from unemployment was less intense than the one I was in back then. I felt trapped, could not do anything to make things better for myself because I was the only logical person who could do most of the work. I had breakdowns in the office, tears for all to see. And I felt anger a lot which affected my family. I was never a quitter even though I cried many times that I would. It was when I started feeling chest palpitations and had trouble sleeping that I knew I had to quit before I really had serious health issues. I wish you all the best in finding your next job. After quitting, I was unemployed for 6 months, worked contract jobs for a total of 8 months and then unemployed again. Although it was a short stint, my mental health was better and I was paid higher. Now I'm in search for the next job.

[@nancykay4128]

You are wise beyond your years!!!

[@ITSLIKEARIVER2000]

Same exact situation and thought process. For me, I prayed and prayed and God was silent because He had already given me the answer: power to walk away. Fast and pray to Him, He will respond. I also applied for a new bachelor's....Call Centers are the dead end that drive people there.

[@lifewithshaun]

Thank you for sharing your story. Most of us are definitely where you were and seeing you take that leap of faith and quit your job for your mental health is going to inspire others to focus on there mental health and stop allowing jobs to take them to unhealthy places mentally. wish the best for you on your next chapter in life.

[@TotallyJillian]

I just put in my 2 weeks last Saturday and next Saturday is supposed to be my last day I feel so drained and burnt out to the point where I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to make it to next Saturday.

[@PEYPLACE]

I'm with you. I just put in my notice to give up my office space and stop being a lawyer. And, I'm petrified. I have some money, but it can go fast if you have no income. I was just so depressed and then suicidal. Now am I still going to be those things and poor?

[@gina-yh8hv]

Door to door sales... need I say more. Great company, great pay, and awesome supervisor, but I cried every day.

[@Akirameowxp]

Girl door to door sales? Why would you do that to yourself. Hope everything is better for you. Im an outside sales rep for a tech company and I just quit too

[@nicoletiana]

im having this moment right now.. i can feel myself getting weary at this day job that im at.... and idk, im real nervous about ACTUALLY doing it... please god give me another sign.........

[@michelleelassal2007]

I also work in sales (2years) I can totally relate with dissecting everything, listening to all the phone calls etc, it's really a stressful challenging and often toxic job.

[@PenniestoDollars]

I hear you. I have needed to stop this job for a year.

[@itsvicsdiary]

In the same boat!! I just did this 3weeks ago and started to document my journey. Wishing you the best

[@Myeashaj]

Good for you ! You can become and do whatever you set your mind to.

[@MsLiyah2015]

I did the exact same thing. Quit right in the middle of a shift, just couldn’t take it no more. I’m figuring out what’s next now though and have my peace of mind back

[@sp3357]

I did the same thing and didn’t even care.

[@mrstclay]

Proud of you!!!

[@LaurenNavie]

I needed this ❤

[@dcabral00]

I appreciate your story. My question is, and I understand that this is easy to say in hindsight, why didn't you start to look for another job when you started to see significant changes? When I started to see the possibility of new administration at my job, my first instinct was to start looking. It is always easier to find a new job when you already have a job.

[@kimple8]

I wish to do this too but can't 😢

[@mariancounsellor]

Don’t do it without a plan

[@somethingclever2]

It's very unnatural to have to talk to people into a service they don't want. The way corporations are set up is toxic for everyone involved except the ceo.

[@katiecano9847]

I totally get the whole period thing. It happens to me too! 😅

[@risingisaac1394]

This whole storytime is giving Etech because that's where I worked and experienced ALL OF THIS

[@ozfeldi]

I never ask for no notices I just walk out

[@Mimichellee]

OMG! That’s me right now. I have started investing in fidelity with stocks I’ll keep working to pay down debt and I can quit

[@wilmaris]

Yes! Good for you! I definitely need to look into doing some investing of my own

[@Mimichellee]

[@houstonka]

I am planning on quitting my job in mid April. I dread giving 2 week notice because i know everyone will be asking questions where i am going and why i am quitting. I am very private person and never talk about myself to anybody at work. What should i do? Should i still give 2 week notice even if it makes me very uncomfortable.??

[@shalom4441-o6i]

What did you end up doing?

[@houstonka]

​@@shalom4441-o6iI quit without 2 week notice via text message.

[@jlmm3968]

Best to get laid off then at least you can collect unemployment. I get it work sucks and you feel liberated when you quit only problem is you will have to work eventually and the cycle will start over . Hope upcoming recession doesn’t effect you finding new job

I was waiting for you to say, " my family, friends, roomate or BOYFRIEND will support me". Tons of working women are realizing their not cut out for the feminist, Shehulk, single life. Stop wasting time at work. Focus on being attractive, feminine, friendly and submissive...a man will save you. *respectfully*
