Why I'm Quitting Construction (RAW Edit)

[@freestyle737]

Best of luck! I was a site engineer and land surveyor in the UK for 16 years. During that time 3 collegues killed themselves, 6 engineers i know had full mental breakdowns, 1 died driving home tired from a 14 hour day, and a friend was killed onsite. Im on my 3rd knee surgery, and awaiting surgery for my shoulder and both hips. I'm only 38! I quit a few years ago and went in to digital marketing, have never looked back. The stress of the construction industry is a secret, no one knows what we do in our service to building the country. Thanks for your service and have fun on your next adventure 💪

Wow that’s so sad! And I totally agree as well as the metal toughness the physical can be brutal too! So glad you found a new awesome career 🙌 thanks for watching. 👀

I’ve just discovered your channel and you gave me motivation when the new season after holidays started. Thank you very much, I used your videos for company when working alone and stressed out.. good luck doing your passion. I believe it suits you very much. Maybe one day I will also discover a new passion like you did!

[@SheWhoDaresWins]

Ah thank you! I’m glad you found me and I’m so happy to help in any way I did. Keep going and I’m here if you need or have any questions! Thanks for your support 🙏

Best of luck to you in your new endeavour. Shame that the industry isn't changing fast enough.

[@SheWhoDaresWins]

Thanks! Yeah I will always have time for the industry and its folks, I just can’t wait another 20 years for positive changes 😩

Best of luck Michelle in your new venture! I am in my forties now and have worked in construction since the late 90's so can fully understand the way you feel. I got out of the game a couple years ago a bit less money but its less stress now, nicer colleagues & just 40 hours. Leave it to the younger guys! I always enjoyed your videos x

[@SheWhoDaresWins]

Ah nice! I’m in good company then! I think you are right it’s a young persons game. Such a shame though as it really taught me a lot over the years as I’m sure it did to you!

[@rachaelfh7509]

Good luck Michelle!

[@andrewtaylor4138]

Awesome video Michelle, funnily enough I have just left the construction industry myself Most likely due to similar reasons to yourself. Just wanted to say all the best for the future and you’ll smash it! 🫡

[@SheWhoDaresWins]

An thanks I really appreciate it! What made you leave in the end?

[@LaurieCummings-z4b]

I only discovered your content about 1 month ago and now this😑 I wish you the best of luck in our next endeavour.

[@SheWhoDaresWins]

Ah no! Well hopefully I’ll still be able to provide you with some inspiration! Thanks so much for the support 🙏

[@PottingerDesign]

What a shame, but I totally get it. Best of luck on your new adventures :)

[@SheWhoDaresWins]

Thanks! And thank you for tunning into the channel :)

[@kerryheadley6309]

Dear Aunty Chelle,so sorry you had to quit. Good luck to the podcast. You have inspired me.ove Connor x

[@SheWhoDaresWins]

Ah thanks Connor and Kerry. Don’t worry there’s more exciting things to come

I'm a bricklayer in London and what you say about what the big contractors say and what they actually do when it comes to combatting toxic cultures and bullying is absolutely spot on. It's just window dressing, hence why I do whatever possible to stay away from large commercial building sites.

[@SheWhoDaresWins]

Ah it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who sees through the bullshit. I think you are right the smaller companies actually normally get it right.

[@evocarti]

@@SheWhoDaresWins It's actually really cringe after you've gone through the online induction where the main contractor showcases their alleged commitment to combatting said cultures and it all goes out the window once your boots are on the ground/scaffold. I only work for big subbies when I'm desperate.

Luego de trabajar para una multinacional siendo ingeniera Civil, comprobé en carne propia LO MISMO respecto al Acoso, y decidí optar por salir de ahí. Saludos desde Argentina ​@@SheWhoDaresWins

What a shame we still have such unwelcoming cultures for women in so many insdutries. Loved what you shared and I'm happy to know you're moving on to something you´re passionate about. Cheers!

[@SheWhoDaresWins]

Ah thanks Vicky, Yeah its a such as shame the industry hasn't moved on and I can only hope it does for the next generation :) Glad you have you around!
