    “Quit and go do something else” it’s easier said than done. In today’s world most corporate jobs do not care about their workers. You break your back to make someone else rich, and Company A, B and C are all the same. I agree, at some point you do need to leave but leave to start your own business. Make yourself rich, not someone else.

After I had quite in the same hour of me leaving I received a call from my dream job saying that I could come in for an interview the same day! I found out today that I got the job and I’m starting next week.

      Not to reiterate the attitude of Ramsey's message in this post, a point well taken. Somehow many of us working at a job or seek one, have come to think we are either or must be bound (tethered) to a job for whatever reason, when in reality (as Dave have so eloquently said) we don't have to be. The real question is, what are the other real alternatives available, and are we in a position or willing to do what it takes to be in a position, to make those alternatives work for us, or are we going to cry foul about those things too, because there are many of them we don't like?

I feel miserable because I can barely see my wife . I'd rather get a job that let's me see my wife more often. At the end of the day when we die, the money does not go with us. Wish u all the best.

      Rob Jones I don't think Dave is saying that people should just leave their jobs in a seconds notice without having prepared for something else. I think preparation and transition was implied. People should of course be wise, but his point is that you need to find somewhere else to work if it is so bad. "Easier said than done" is an overused statement. Life in general is hard. I don't know your personal beliefs, but keeping in what Dave was saying, faith is required in even tough times. He's saying trust that God will place you somewhere that you'll be happy. God knows what you need, pray, believe and He will bless you with better. Many people just sit and accept what they have as if that's all can have. Dave is saying, God has better, it's up to you to seek it and accept it.

When you study to better yourself in a profession long enough, you figure out how to be efficient and that makes you valuable to an employer. Negotiations is a two way street. You cannot expect the world from an employer and offer nothing in return.

My plan is to build capital to hire employees. I work more than 40 hours a week because I have the drive to do so, which many employees cannot even fulfill for their bosses.

      If you have no debt and a 6 month emergency fund, (or fund a new one for job hunting only), then you can quit any job. If you can't find a job in 6 months, then something is wrong with how you are looking. Something in wrong with your perception of a job. Baby boomers worked whatever job they could find most of the time, so it makes it look like they didn't do much work to get jobs, but that's because they put in the work early to get references and all that so finding another job is much easier.

    let me get this straight. You work for years of your life for a company that can fire you at the drop of a hat if they so choose to do so. The example just given is my point. I would lose it on my father or anyone who came in to my house grabbed anything out of my wife's hand and started throwing it around in my yard. Are you out of your mind?! That's what happens to hard working people who have become beholden to companies that they don't own or have a stock in but have put their life's blood into it! They are loyal subjects but will never be given what they truly deserve for their efforts. People will do insane things when it comes to money and what money affords them. Explaining your loyality to an organization is one thing; that type of behavior warrants mental health counseling. No employer is my master. I say this as a therapist, a veteran, and a father. Loyalty is earned. If you have the best product people will buy it. If you take care of what is important to employees they will stay. If you care more about your shareholders than anything else your employees and your customers will become opportunists.
