I Quit My Job With No Plans - Watch This Before You Quit Your Job

I shared what led me to quitting my job and how it turned out. But most importantly 5 things to consider/do before taking the leap.
If you're in a job where you feel like you've had enough, just know that you're not alone and you don't have to stay.

Thank you for this! Especially because people do not take seriously how horribly some jobs can affect your mental health and how it gets in the way from even having the energy to apply for another job. They put their fears on you and tell you that you must stay until have another job lined up.

[@In_time]

I’m so sorry if anyone has ever done that to you:( I think those who truly care about you more so do it from a place of encouragement to have another job lined up, because that old but semi accurate adage of “it’s easier to find a job when you have a job” weirdly seems to be true. And it’s (generally) less stressful than being unemployed. I agree that if your current job is toxic, it really can take a toll and affect your mental health (it did for me) and make finding a new job feel daunting or impossible but I think the key here (and what I have had to learn the hard way unfortunately) is not to _wait_ and _hope_ that things get better at your current job: the second something happens that makes you question staying is your cue to get. out. Go home and start searching jobs *immediately.* Don’t “wait and see” and don’t try to find ways to make yourself more comfortable. Keep your resume updated and be ready to send it out at all times. Because the longer you stay and take the awful treatment, the more beat down you end up feeling on top of now having to update or create a resume, interview, etc. I think we tend to be too hopeful and don’t recognize our own warning signs that say “um, it’s time to go” until it’s too late. If it’s people who care about you, they’re likely not trying to heap their fear on you, but to encourage you. Prayers to all who are going through this❤

[@PraveenSriram]

I can definitely relate to you

[@daneeka3921]

Thank you Koko. I knew it was time to leave but I was comfortable in my frustration. I finally decided to leave, no back up just trusting God's faithfulness and 6 months rent in my savings. I used this time to spend time with God, halfway doubting my decision. Your words stuck with me "It's not your father's company".., " the worst thing that can happen is it takes longer to get a job...". Less than two months and only one interview I got something more aligned with where I can forsee myself grow as an engineer. Had I not left, I would have missed this great opportunity. Sometimes we wait on God, but really God is waiting on us to utilise the authority He has given us.Thank you for making me realise I am not alone 🇿🇦

It was a relief and I have no regrets! I got my full 4 weeks pay and my month pto time ! Jobs are out there! Life is not over just because you walked away from a toxic work environment!

Got to have a buffer of money, savings to quit, take time out. Many dont have a choice, and end up continuing to work in a toxic environment

[@Punkydoodle007]

Great advice all around! I'm turning in my resignation letter tomorrow after 17 years with the same company. It was a tough decision but I've been very unhappy for several years now and my mental health has really taken a dark turn. My family has been trying to get me to quit for years but I could never find the courage or energy to apply for other jobs so I just became complacent. Finally had an epiphany today that if I don't quit now I will probably never quit this toxic job. Im so ready to start my next chapter. Wish me luck.

Therefore, I’m planning to quit nursing to pursue youtube full time as there are lots of issues in our traditional health systems as these don’t align with my values. It’s a huge learning curve but I love helping people through making videos. Also, as part of my video creation progress, I’m switching to a better editing software and a camera so the learning curve is much higher and slows down the completion speed of my next videos so please hang on tight!

Why so many youtubers are putting up these so-called "quit your job with no plans or backup plan. I think this is a bad idea. The economy could change on a dime, you need to have an exit plan, most jobs now need 2-5 years experience even if its entry level job, which I don't get. If its a toxic workplace, which I am at and terrible managers, then yes its time to go, start planning now and apply to another job that you know you can do, than later make another plan as to what you really know and be interested in, evermind the so call "dream jobs" they don't exists. If your valuable in a certain sector or market then learn or get more skills in that area, master it. Below in the comments, someone has said they had 6 months rent money or savings that's a good tip. Always keep learning, there's so many online courses or program that you take on your own time.
