It's Your JOB, You Can QUIT IT If You Want To! | It WILL Be OK!

We've all had thoughts about just getting up and walking out of the door of our job and never coming back. But most of us never quit our jobs, we just dream about it. There are a number of reasons why people stay working at a job they hate, but the #1 reason is probably for the 'security' it provides. However, in many cases this 'security' isn't real. And even if it is, is it really worth sacrificing your life and sanity for it? In this video I talk about why you SHOULD quit your job if you hate it. As well as my belief that we are all smart enough to figure out how to support ourselves after quitting a job.

Hi Ms. Janelle, hope you are doing well. I read your comment makes sense but wouldn't you rather have a job lined up? to give you a scense of relief and peace of mind knowing you have a job to go to once you leave that one? You say your God provides but he also doesn't want us to be ignorant of matters. He wants us to be wise and use critical thinking 🤔. And unless a person has a lover, companion, family relative or friend or 💰to fall back on. And sometimes peoples Gods and belief systems prayers don't always get answered or come to our rescue. And this message goes for any person of any Gods a Buddhist, Muslim, Islam, Jehovah's witnesses, Mormonism, Hinduism, Catholic, and Christianity etc. even that well known book called the Holy Bible saids my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. And ye shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. Just a side note sometimes our God or Gods don't always answer our prayer and may never be answered! then what we gonna do?. So again this is where critical thinking 🤔 comes in, a safety net if you will. Some 💰 to fall back on, a husband or wife, a companion family member or a friend or friends, anyways I wish the best today, tomorrow and along lifes journey. Love and light to you mam.💪🤔🌎🦉

If you have to quit your job, then leave your job. However; have a game plan. Give your self 2 months maybe 3. More or less in some cases. Don't let it turn into a year or two.

However many of my friends and family were a bit concerned about why someone with a master's degree would be doing something like working in a kitchen.

I quit my job 1/2019. It was the best decision of my life. It wasn’t that I didn’t love what I did but I wanted to explore my own capabilities to create with intention. One if the things while I was planning to quit is that I kept it to myself other than y’all my best friend of 25 years. She’s a free spirit with no fear and doubt and I knew her energy would support my decision.

[@kishageorge7788]

Hi Timothy, Thanks for sharing . My field is dental, I recently started a new job. I realised on my first day this work place is very toxic. Alot of gossiping and undermining. I told myself hang on for a few more days. The final straw was yesterday. My manager was discussing my personal business to my colleagues soo unprofessional. I’ve always been a person I’m not scared to more on. I will find something eventually. Its all about taking a risk. I hate feeling like a prisoner in a workplace. We spend a lot our life at work, why must I be unhappy and lose my sanity. I found a job as cleaner and to be honest I’m more happy doing this than being a dental assistant.

[@TimothyWard]

That's awesome Kisha! I wish more people were like you and had the courage to move on from toxic workplaces.

[@michellethelen6153]

Yes yes yes. So much of the work force now is so de-humanizing. Even jobs that used to be low key and fun, like working at a book store, are now exercises in self flagellation. They watch your numbers, and how many times you smile at your customer, and work you like a freakin' dog. It is getting worse too. I'm self employed, and so grateful. But I've done a lot of odd jobs, like you, from dog sitting to house cleaning. Uggh...

[@TimothyWard]

When employees stop fearing employers then workforce conditions will change. But until that day I think companies will start getting worse and worse.

[@kristinealexander3491]

What is your self owned business?

[@RotterStudios]

Great video dude! Subbed! I've been laid off due to corporate buyouts, hostile takeovers, etc. You have no control. Then if you have a job you like, there is always that one person, usually a toxic supervisor who has no business being a supervisor. I have been depressed and so tired because the toxic supervisor has gotten worse. Amazing these are the people / demons that are allowed to keep the jobs.

I just did today. It was me and one other coworker. My job didn't employ more due to the nature of the job. My coworker made my life he'll. She only cared about laughing and cutting up all day. I had to do the job of 2 people. I let management know between that and her mental instability/abuse that it was hindering my job etc.... I told 5 bosses and they did nothing. So I said to myself nah I'm done I'm out. I didn't say anything I just left. It took them 45 minutes to realize I was gone. And they panicked and kept blowing up my phone. I did this: 😅😂😅😂 and didn't answer the phone. Yall see how yall can deal now.

I've quit 2 super toxic jobs so far. When I quit the last one (after ~4 months) I was so relieved I couldn't stop crying. I just started a new job about a month ago, and so far it's going really well! I can see it being something I stick with for the foreseeable future. :-) I think we need to teach more people that it's OK to walk away from something that you're not comfortable with, and it doesn't make you a bad person or a bad employee to find something that will make you happier.

I work about 14 hours a day and no breaks, no food, nothing. I get paid well, but I don’t think it’s worth it. It has affected and I have been there there 7 months. I think I might quit this job, I am so afraid because I need it, but I can’t stand what it is doing to me.

You have motivated me to make a decision to quit my job. I'm currently contracting and my contract ends in June. A lot of my friends keep telling me to renew the contract and stick it out, but I just never felt right inside to 'stick it out' when it comes to working at a corporate job. Even though the work environment is great and the coworkers are hard working and sweet, I'm just not fit for that particular work. I want to be a motion designer, and I have a plan. I want to stop working for other people, nearly killing myself to make them happy and start working for myself, and do the things I'm passionate about. Thank you for this video!
