- No high-minded careerism here. Just 3 times that I knew it was time to quit a job.

I think that wanting to get into a car accident and break your leg to have a long break from work is another sign
xPlatybelodon Definitely!
Willingness to sacrifice body parts just to get some time off might factor in.
xPlatybelodon had this feeling today.
@xPlatybelodon, I once had a dream of being in a hospital bed and being happy because I would have time off from work. I quit that job later that month.
@@lilabukvic4216 not in this hypercapitalist decade..my coworker has cancer and she's working harder than me
Dread, boredom, and feeling like you're not contributing. Those are good signs, thanks for sharing
Mia Waters Thanks for watching!
Being micromanage by the boss will make you quit a job too!!!!!!
Felicia Phillips I’ve been there. Too true.
Joshua Namdev Hardisty Yeah especially if your co worker is talking about you behind your back!!!!
My supervisor and really the entire upper-management treat our supervisors so badly here that it trickles down to us. I have nightmares about where I work so I'm over it all.
This post and the comments in it are the military in a nut shell. That's why I'm leaving it.
Right!!!!!
This video is so synchronistic. When I go to my job. There is a corridor I have to walk to get to my dept. When I enter I feel like I'm choking before I touch the door knob. I even feel my chest tighten. I have been willing to "suck it up" to pay the bills and the money isn't bad but I just can't anymore. Thank you.
I’ve been there. It sucks. Obviously “sucking it up” is a sign of adulthood but using that as an overall life strategy it’s a bad bet.
I made this new video in response to yours and some other comments: czcams.com/video/nqk-v1mpSME/video.html
Thanks for watching.
Joshua Namdev Hardisty Thanks so much☺
Monday morning? Each Sunday evening I start falling into a depression...
This is exactly how I feel I feel like I could be using my time building my brand and company.
I walked out of my job because of other people and bad management. Lazy people. Low wages.
Way to take the leap! Any update?
jackie henderson Same here!!
Me, too! The company I worked at, at our daily meeting, says "well, we lost a million dollars due to not having the equipment done in the time allotted"--then the pussified supervisor laughed about it! (Half the department texts about a good portion of the day in front of the supervisor, & he walks the other way when he sees it in front of him) In another incident coming to mind, the receiving clerk was hung over one day, and the supervisor's office was above the receiving area. The supervisor has some sort of illness where he coughs a lot, and the receiving clerk says "Joe (pussified supervisor's name), shut the f*ck up and quit coughing up there, I'm hung over and you're aggravating my brain (with conviction the clerk stated this). The supervisor then muffled his cough upstairs in his office not to offend the receiving clerk--I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing. In the other incident (there were too many to list here by the way) that sticks out in my mind, was Leroy's incident. Leroy was talking to another employee for like 1 1/4 hours sitting & doing nothing, of course I get the pile of workload which needs to be done because I'm productive, when pussified Joe comes down from his office and tells Leroy and the girl he was hitting on for over an hour that "I've been watching you in my office on & off for over an hour, and I was wondering when you are going to do some work?" Leroy's response was "I'm talking to my bitch! Why don't you mind your own f*cking business and get the hell away from me!" (another mind-blowing moment for me in this hell hole) The supervisor then just walked away with his head down, and the guy who said this never lost his job by the way.The final straw was at the end when these hoodlums started bringing in firearms to work in the building, and what the company did was, at the meeting pussified Joe states "there is now a zero tolerance no-firearm policy in our building, and signs are on the building NOT to bring them into the building."When it was 90 degrees in the shop one day in late June, 2018, and to make a long story short, the 1st shift lead man's son who worked there (this company's un-verbal motto is "it's who you're related to, and how much ass-kissing one does" which gives you status to do nothing) tried to pick a fight with me because some hood rat I worked with told him I said something about him (I associate as little as possible with these types of employees there, by the way). With the firearm issue lurking, the amount of trash employees with their asses hanging out of their pants, the marijuana use in the bathrooms, the no-snitch policy the employees had there, the mixing of alcoholic beverages at work, the rap music being played coupled with dancing on expensive part boxes with them breaking when the employee broke the box after standing and singing on it & laughing about it, the employees smelling of pot, sex, & booze after lunch breaks, I finally said ""enough is enough" walked out, told the lead man "good luck with this trash working here!" Quit, and never looked back.What a horrible, profitable, poorly-managed company this place was. If I replied to everything wrong with this company and the hoodlums who worked there, this reply would be about 50 pages long, so I had to shorten the reply the best I could. If you work in this bad of a TOXIC environment, get out! Nothing is worth putting up with this crap.
The company had to put up signs for a "no firearms allowed in bldg." because a gun fell out of the waist band of a fellow employee's baggy pants was so loose, it fell out! I've shortened the response in the other comment to fill in the MAJOR things wrong with this company, there's way more...
I wish i could do that but if I quit I'ma end up homeless life a bitch
I'm currently working in a "survival" job in retail and I absolutely loathe it. I disclosed my dyslexia to my boss and supervisor, as I was struggling a bit with the workings of the cash register and also I have short term memory problems. My supervisor treats me with such little respect and regard and never has anything nice or good or encouraging to say. When she's in charge of the store I am not allowed to stock the shelves and tells me to just stand there to greet customers. Once she put me on the cash and there was 20 customers waiting and I struggled immensely and asked for help and she rolled her eyes each time I asked and hurried through the steps and said "it's not rocket science." I stutter sometimes and she gets very impatient and tells me to "hurry up, you're waisting my time...get to the point!" My coworkers have noticed that she talks down to me. I thought by disclosing my disability it would help her understand my struggles and help accommodate my needs, but instead it's like she's using it as leverage to make the work day unbearable and extremely unpleasant. I can't figure out why she is such a bully. It's making going to work a dreaded, awful experience.
Feeling like you are spinning your wheels and could be doing more elsewhere. That’s one that I feel. I work for an agency and have retirement built up and feel the need to stay their to continue to feel the fund. We call it Golden Handcuffs.
Thanks for this video. I am feeling 2 out of all you mentioned, it takes every fiber of my being to get myself prepared for work. I have a supervisor who is ethically challenged and grimy, I hate the work and the environment. I needed this video, it is time for me to go because he is not going anywhere.
Sorry to hear this. It definitely sucks. I think a lot of people have said this better than I will but this is the time to tighten the belt a bit, kill some expenses and get on the hunt for something better. You deserve it.
Jessica Martin That's how my current supervisor is. I used to really like her until I found out how much of a snake and backstabber she is. Everything will be okay because I'm working on becoming a entrepreneur!
Buy Fast Sell Fast That’s good to hear that you’re going to do your own thing! Good luck!
I used to work for someone who was tough too! It was not an ideal situation, however it made me realize how much I valued my freedom and working for myself- which in turn motivated me to start my own business :)
I found out what snakes in my company people are when my kid got a job there a lot of people didn't know he was my kid my kid told me stuff that people say about me plus I can't stand the supervisor wanted to grab them by a skinny little neck today and throw him into a wall today I did something that was following procedure and I got yelled at 4 it was a safety issue so for now on I won't have nothing red tagged or written up to get fixed if that's the supervisors attitude that's my attitude been with the company for 16 years don't need to be talked to like a kid especially from someone that's 10 years younger than me.
When ur loosing too much weight
That's a sign its time to check out for good.
Pamela Clary Disturbing and true
Thank you for this. I'm currently 18, working only on weekends and close to highschool graduation. However, I dislike my job. I work at a bar as a doorman. I want to quit, but my parents guilt me into keeping the job. I feel like I'm stuck in this predicament. But all 3 points of your video literally call out to me, and I feel that I (as a person and worker) am more valuable to any company than standing at a front door. If you read this, thank you for your time :) just needed to vent.
AvP_Slaya That sounds like a rough situation. I hope you’re able to use your time outside of work to find something more fulfilling. Thanks for the kind words.
AvP_Slaya good start venting
I finally got my business administration degree this summer but I had to work ar Burger King to afford it. I can't describe how much I hate this job, I think mainly because of the people and the managers. A toxic and negative environment where people are just consistently commenting and nagging about every single minor thing. Honestly the managers act like they're Gordon Ramsay and most co-workers think that we're running some kind of 5 start restaurant. I try to keep it cool but in my head I just wanna scream and snap at them.I don't know how much longer I can take this crap. My biggest fear is: "What if I quit and I can't get a job with my diploma right away"
I’m just gonna say this: if you worked at Burger King to pay for a degree, you’re a bad ass.
And, look, you might not get your job right away but you already know that you’re willing to endure some real BS to get the things you want. That’s rad.
Now is probably a good time for you to start following Gary Vee’s stuff for that grind inspiration.
thanks a lot for your reply and inspiring words.
Rico Valdes No problem! Keep doing what you’re doing.
Oh my goodness! I used to be in a similar situation 😣Each time my boss called me into her office, I'd want to scream at her and say "I don't care! I don't care about this job anyway!" Anyway, I ended up quitting without a plan because I couldn't take it anymore. I ended up going on a self-discovery quest, realizing I did not want to use my diploma and instead follow my dream!
Rico Valdes I work a t Kohl’s and they have me cleaning out fitting rooms or folding clothing on tables that customers messed up it’s so boring I’m just so tired of it
Crazy I also live in Minneapolis, stumbled on your video just searching for clarity and confidence in my decision of quitting my job. Good video
Hi Shane-Thanks for commenting! Glad you found the video and that it was helpful.
What did you do decide to do? Curiousss
Im loving you so much right now! I've explained the dread feeling to many people an not one of the understood. Yay! I thank the universe for you an now I have a plan. Thank you so much!
Francesca-Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm glad that the video gave you some ideas you can work with. Good luck!
A good one for me is feeling like you're not being heard or listened to by management. You bring up a valid concern to a manager and it falls on deaf ears
I used to love my job, but after 5 years it has become dreadful. I am makng less money than when I started , but still working just as hard .
Sounds like you've outgrown your job, which is normal. Time to evolve and change things up...
How do you end up making less money after 5 years? They cut your pay??
Pay increase, if any, is less than the rate of inflation so you’re effectively earning less year on year if this is the case.
thanks for this man. All three of them, I've known for 1 1/2 that it's time for me to move on. The only reason I stay is for the insurance because of a chronic medical issue the doctors can't figure ou,t but I know what's wrong,though I've told them.
Thank you again.
This video is very straight forward and makes a lot of sense. Thanks for making a real mind opening video like this.
Hey, thanks for the kind words.
Agreed!
Good video. Right know I am in this stages for 3 months, but I am afraid to leave this job, because it takes lot of time to find a new one.
Glad you liked it. Don’t worry about leaving your current job, just focus on finding that new one.
It does take time to find a new one, but if you're actively gathering information, figuring out what you want and don't want, and taking consistent action, you'll get there! And by KNOWING that you're doing something about your situation, it makes the job feel more tolerable because you know it's only a matter of time before you're out of there.
Hey Joshua! I live in mpls as well. I'm in Sports Medicine/Fitness Rehab. I have a private Practice now! I couldn't handle working under people I'm smarter them. Great Video!
Good video and I needed to see this!
I have been working at my current job for a month. I’m underpaid, overworked and the travel for my job is insane! I’m currently applying to other jobs and drafting my two week notice.
Jia'sWorld Thanks for the love! Good luck on the hunt!
Joshua Namdev Hardisty Thank you so much!
Absolutely. The point is to recognizes when its time to quit and start looking for something new, not abruptly quit and cause chaos.
Same like you but if I quit i need to pay the money back they put for my visa.
Good to hear that you're actively seeking a solution to your problem!
Great vid. Perfect points. Super accurate!! Thank you
NotTheJen FromBackThen Thank you!
Thanks man!
Thank you for your video. It is spot on to how i am feeling. I can add another thing more specific to my situation however others may be able to relate. Im in my 60s and i feel accomplished at my job ive been doing for over 20 years. However i now find myself surrounded and ostrasized by very young educated people who make me feel antiquated disrespected and unnecessary. It is taking a very big toll on me emotionally and physically as i find i cannot sleep. So its a bit premature but i have made the decision to retire and leave it to the young whippersnappers to take it over and do it better. Having made that decision feels like a huge weight lifted. Ive never been one to stick around when i dont feel welcome thanks again for your insight into this issue.
Hi Bonnie, thanks for the insightful comment. Its really rough how people can be aged out of their job or field when its still something they love and get value out of.
I hope retirement helps to restore some peace to your life. Thanks, Joshua
Thanks for the insight, great video.
Thank you!
Today I went to an interview for my ideal job. I have been waiting for the next thing, going to literally about 15 interviews and been feeling all of the three things you mentioned for a year now, I hope I get this one. However, the deadline is coming, I can't stand it anymore, with or without new job. Thanks for sharing this.
That sucks to hear. I hope you found something.
Hey man, thanks for this honest video. I've already gone through all these feelings: the first time was a lethal mix between deep boredom and feeling guilty for not doing so much. I quit after 6 months. The second time it was a storm of boredom, guilty and bad salary: I left the job after two years. Right now I'm thinking about leaving my new job after only 8 months even though it looks good on the paper (good salary, good careers chances, etc.). It's just that the job doesn't fit my personality and I feel shitty every time I wake up knowing I have to face that office and all that stress and responsibilities. Do I fear being unoccupied (especially now with COVID etc.)? Yeah, but I fear more being unhappy. Just to say: every word you said was true and I could see myself in your words.
Billy Croacker thanks for the thoughtful post. I’m glad the video resonates even if it’s a bummer. I feel you on the “looks good on paper but isn’t right for me” thing. I definitely been there before.
This video just speaks to me so much at the moment. I’m starting to have a lot of thoughts of wanting to leave my job and do something different...a change of pace, if you will. Where I work now, there are so many changes that are happening and they’re getting stricter each day. I get anxious about going to work, and I’ve been thinking of either starting my own health/wellness center or becoming a yoga teacher. All I need to do while still working is to learn to drive and then study to get a certification.
You are so right!
I got fired today! And Man as weird at it sounds I feel relieve tho I need the money but I hated the job...so yes I can relate to you man I felt when I was at that job I was bored tired and fustrated I hated what I doing. I did cry like a baby this morning when they gave me the news but then I got to the realization that in order to sucseed in a job you atleast have to like something in what your doing. Otherwise you will be very miserable anyways for those that believe in the Lord and Christ pray for me to get a better job because in the end of the day I need to pay bills thats how it is.
Sometimes getting fired is the best. It sucks and is unexpected but it can liberate you from a garbage situation. Hope you found something better.
If you clicked on this video, you probably hate your job.
Facts.
I’ve got a bad boss that talks at you not to you. I work in healthcare and it’s very stressed filled. I don’t have enough training for data analytics but I’m working to correct that. It’s gotten to the point that I feel suicide is the only way out. I’m working with a therapist which is helping but that’ll take time. The only option I have for work is retail which will mean working two jobs.
Ryan-This sucks to hear and I’m sorry it took a week to respond. I actually made a video inspired by your comment because at one point I had a boss that gave everyone he worked with short-term PTSD. 12 years later its all hilarious but at the time it was the most miserable experience of my entire life. Here’s the link-I hope its helpful: czcams.com/video/9u330n9-RwY/video.html
When I decided to quit corporate, I felt like I was going "backwards" as well when I started to babysit again. BUT, the freedom I felt was so worth it. It allowed the stress-free environment to pursue my bigger passion while paying the bills 🙌🏻
You should do three reasons to leave your state and job
Unfortunately I haven't left my state in 20 years so I'm probably not a good authority on the topic.
Much better information than the so called experts on this subject. Thanks
KMW Thank you
really needed this video this morning 😁
Thanks for watching. Glad it was helpful!
hey. i have 3 signs that i want to quit my job. and i work at rolling hills progress center in lanark il. 1. there is a lot of bullying 2. people at work treat me like dirt some of them. and 3. some of the supervisors and co-workers aren't really nice to me. so i'm trying to find another job
I think you should definitely heed those signs.
ok
Neha Prakash I am promoted as sme worked for two years but politics is what worry me .since my work is high risk level plus they don't want to hire anyone
Finally - a REAL video on on topic that I can actually ponder, minus annoying twinkley music and title stamps across your face counting down each rule. I really appreciate it & thank you for the insight.
Thanks for the kind words. Also, don't forget that this video should have included a long introduction on what a job is and why people have them, lol.
I am going to give my 2 weeks notice as soon as I get a job any job
I suggest looking for jobs that are less demanding so that you have the energy and time to explore your real passions!
If you do this too many times you will not get a job you really like (they do call your previous job sometimes). Don't make my mistake find something you love if at all possible.
i can totally relate to what your saying.
Thanks for watching and glad that it resonates.
I have high blood pressure now. I'm 31
That sucks. Take care of yourself; you got a long time to be alive.
Thank you!
thanks for watching!
I worked in IT at a university and I LOVED the job. It was very creativity based as the campus was media/design/gaming focused.
BUT. I was made to leave as the campus as it's in the process of closing.
I found a new job quickly for an insurance company. I work for a billion pound company helping to oversee their core insuring platform and I hate it. It hate it with a passion.
The hours are unsociable the management are single minded and the work is very dull but very critical and high pressure if there is an issue it could be about £1000 a minute loss while a fix is found. I'm really struggling but this is the best place to work financially in my local area. I want to quit and become a full time youtuber as it's a passion of mine but I know that's just a pipe dream :( im looking round but all other jobs uninspire me to even apply for them.
I swear I needed this I’m on the verge of just jumping out on faith but I’m trying to be realistic 😫
It all depends on context. I quit my last job with nothing lined up because I wasn't gonna tolerate another day of BS. But, financially it was a terrible move and was rough for my family. On the other hand, my chronic stomach aches stopped the day I walked out. You gotta do what's right for you. Good luck.
Thank you I know I got to do it it’s time I’m not challenging myself!!
Wow excellent vid. Some of your reasons rang true to mine. The feeling of dread to go to work
Shaq Rabin Thanks for watching and sharing. Good luck!
Good insights. Greetings from Chile
Hey, thank you!
I'm at the point of dread right now so I am saving significantly and should be gone within 6 to 8 months if things work out. I'm tired of being lied to and tired of being downgraded for the "benefit of others".
Taura - Sorry for the late reply. Good for you, that’s that way to handle it.
Thank you for this video. I've working at his stupid call center for like a year and two months. Ive just been moving from job to job from the age of 18 (when i finished school) and i am now 21 (my friends and people i know would be graduating soon while im still with no valuable skill that would get me employed somewhere that has a good career path. Knowing me, i am too lazy and afraid to attempt to apply for a job that is outside of my comfort zone. It really burns me up inside like i am about to explode (like a jar with vaporising gas pushing outwards more and more as it vaporises). I potential to do anything in life but my stupid laziness and fear is holding me back so much.
My supervisor is a condescending, rude, gossiping, toxic b*** and she has made my experience working here so bad. I feel like i am being suffocated because i cant even talk back because i ask for her assistance from time to time.
What adds onto this is that i am young and i am wasting my time doing this dogs*** when i could be doing all sorts of thing
This comment is all over the place, apologies, i dont think my frustration and anger has been conveyed.
If anyone reads this, please give me sincere advice.
This supervisor/manager need to be put in his/her place you can do this by always have something to nagged his/her with question that you know nobody can answer, always bombard him and call her out in hallway whenever you see him/her not doing his job or wasting time. You got to return all his bad stuff that making you down dont absorb it and also dont invest emotion to that person. Whenever this manager go to your place always ask him why then follow by another why then say to him that he have consume more minute of the day standing micromanaging you but instead say that manager doesn't know his job and there might more email on his desk. Always tell when that manager or supervisor is being rude to you. Don't ever think that Manager are invincible they do that to you because nobody in his/her rank appreciate that manager and also turns out that manager has alot of bad loans and family expenses and they do this micromanaging to waste time. So you need to put that Manager on the spot. Keep your mouth shut to other coworkers as you know that your problem shouldn't be resolved by someone with same rank as you. By this time you should be finding way out of that workplace and get all the jobs pending so by the time you leave that manager will be fired.
Osman - Hi, Joshua here. First of all, thank you for the kind words. I’m glad that this video did something for you even if your personal situation is at a boiling point.
You’re right that your comment is all over the place but you’re just dealing with a lot so its expected that you cover a lot.
Without knowing you there’s a couple things I think you need to hear:
1. Don’t compare yourself to your friends. Yes, they’re “further along” on the traditional trajectory than you but by and large that doesn't mean shit. Do they have degrees that are even worth having? Are they on the path to doing something they love? If so, then maybe use that as fuel for your own fire but otherwise forget about them. I highly doubt that anyone 22 year old that you know has a valuable skill unless they're pursuing a passion that's consumed them since 10 years old.
2. You've stuck with a job that sucks for over a year-you're not lazy. If you were lazy, you'd say "fuck it" and quit. Maybe you don't want to get outside your comfort zone-I can relate- but if I had to guess I'd assume that you're too self-aware and that's why you don't apply for other jobs. You're assuming that you're not qualified and you don't want to waste people's time (or that's my guess). When you do this you're just firing yourself from a job before it started. Never fire yourself; that's someone else's job.
3. You need to analyze how you view yourself. I think you believe that you're lazy and scared but in reality you're just not doing the right stuff. Assume this: if you don't want to do something, its not because you're lazy, its because it sucks. If its something that shouldn't suck (like say learning to play guitar) then the way you plan to do it sucks and THAT'S why you're not doing it.
Some mental (and actual) actions to take:
1. Approach your job as if you knew they were going to lay you off but they haven't told you yet. This will change your days. Its a lot of harder to bring home toxic stuff from a job you already know is over. It’s hard to take minor bullshit seriously once you've made this mental shift. I promise you that you will feel lighter if you flip a switch in your head that says “This might be my last week here. Lets go out on a positive note.”
2. Start looking for a new job ASAP. I know this is a shitty time but at the same time I see the job posting emails in my inbox every day.
3. Start focusing on the things that energize you again. You're young and you didn't mention anything in your comment about what you'd rather be doing. That makes me assume that someone beat it out of you. There's a thing that you love to do and you probably discovered it between ages 10 and 14. Get back on it. Not because you need to make a career out of it but because you deserve to be happy. No one owes you happiness but owe it to yourself to grab it.
I hope this helps. Feel free to leave a comment if you want to chat IRL.
Also a companion video to this that might help: czcams.com/video/eX6QOiHLWe0/video.html
thank you for this video. can I ask what if you're made to feel excluded or have to ask for things to do?
The exclusion one is hard. Your best bet is probably to try and reframe the situation so that you see yourself as the group and then try to bring others in to your world (i.e, grab people for coffee, when you bump into someone just say “Hey, you got lunch plans tomorrow”; stuff like that). Its subtle but the idea is you can’t be excluded if you ARE the group.
On the asking for things to do front. You could set up a meeting with your direct supervisor and just say “I really like my job but honestly, I believe I can contribute more.” It’d be a good idea to even have a few examples of things that you think you could be doing.
Another tactic is to just ask different co-workers if they need any assistance with anything-just let them know your day is kind of light and you’re looking for something productive to do (this might also help with the first part of your question). You’ll probably have to press them a bit because everyone always says “No, I’m cool” even though they definitely go home and complain about needing help.
Lastly, you could just go after low-hanging fruit that gets ignored. If you sweep the floors because you have nothing to do, people will get the picture that you really need more to do.
Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Joshua
thank you this was a great help I need to leave my job I feel very UN productive and very insignificant most of the time I am ignored by Co workers and to add to it i am being ganged up on and bullied by management
Dana garza i been there and done that. I use to work in a state prison in florida. I been there for 2 years. I transferred to another falicilty and i been there for for a year. The entire time i was being bullied and ganged up on by the higher ranking people. Lied on me and got me fired lol. This happened 10 months ago. Oh well. 6 months after i got fired, i started a business. I'm my own boss now and it feels great!
Miguel Robb that is so cool that you are out of that miserable position I dont understand why its feels like I am all alone during the incident then to come across your video and it made more sense when I see I am not alone. ..congratulations on your new life I hope and wish much success and prosperity for you. .....thanks for the video and your reply 👍😊
Wow, sounds like a very unhealthy environment to work in! It's time to plant some new seeds. I suggest making a list of all your skills, qualifications, etc. and see what other jobs would be a better fit for you.
Shaina Leis hey thanks you know its kinda funny but since I posted this comment there's been an up swing in buisness as well as company unity and team work lots of new changes its great but I appreciate your sound advice much thanks and good luck 🍀
Dana garza you must leave today. Been ignored is terrible.
thanks a lot
Thanks for the comment.
I'm only 17 and I'm still a student but I work part time every Thursday in the local government it department and I am really dreading the job and I'm not enjoying it. I am planning to quit it tomorrow but I'm afraid to.
If you’re only working once a week stick with it for the cash but look for something else you can do. If you’re already doing IT work at 17 then you’ve definitely got options.
Well you have two options- to quit without something else lined up, or keep the job while you look for another one. Comes down to what you value (freedom or a paycheck) and if you have the means to take some time off.
I'm 20 and I work at this Jewish church as a janitor I've been here for only 3 months and I'm already feeling Dread every day before I go to work the people that I work with is so nice and everything but I feel like I should be doing more at the age of 20 I don't want to keep cleaning up after people for only $364 and it's so boring my co workers don't talk they can't hold a conversation for nothing and they don't communicate that good I feel pissed off Everytime I go there I drop out of community college during the semester so I'm no longer going to school but the things im interested in and passionate about is politics music and movies I used to always come up with stories and I still do I just don't write them down I consider myself as a energetic person but every since I got this job I've been feeling really low and bored I should be doing more at the age of 20 thanks for your video
I've only been in my job for 3 weeks and it's only part time, but I have that feeling of dread... I genuinely hate having to go in and I get this horrible empty feeling in my stomach but I feel like I have to carry through for at least a few months but I know it's not what I want to do. The people are nice enough but I just can't get my head into the right place to carry on with it, but the problem, is I have no idea what I want to do afterwards. Any advice??
Ahhh! I used to feel the same way. When I started my corporate job, I was only there for a few months when I knew I did not like it and wanted to quit. But, my mind tried to tell me, "You can't quit! You've only been here for 3 months. That'll look bad on your resume." So I ended up staying at a job I dreaded. Until one day, I could not take it anymore! I quit without a plan. I got another (lighter) job to pay the bills while I made it my mission to find work I loved. Since then, my life has never been the same. Anyway, I encourage you to take the time to get to know yourself and explore your talents, skills, passions, etc. It's the best investment you'll ever make for your future
I was just talking with another Co worker who was saying the same thing I feel guilty for even coming to work when we are slow and there is nothing else to do I am not happy when I am not contributing I feel guilty and like a worthless charity case i dont want to fill a position that every one else laughs and mocks me for and looks down there nose at me
Sounds like you are lacking PURPOSE! That is the #1 reason most of us feel so unfulfilled in our jobs.
GOOD VIDEO!!!!
Thank you!
lol your 3rd sign of working and having nothing to do is the situation im in, sweeping for 7 hrs a day isnt fun at all, im planning to quit the job soon.
That sounds brutal. Then again the crappy manual labor jobs are maybe most motivating to up your game. The cushy 9-5 that you dread is the one that kills your soul. Good luck!
As humans we are designed to be challenged, so if your job is routine or boring, time to look for something else!
I just got a job as a hostess, got hired on the spot but I just hate it. I feel like I don’t fit in. They are all basically family there and I feel like they don’t like me. Also, my Spanish isn’t very good and I’m working at a Mexican restaurant. I work 3 days a week or more depending. I’m scared to confront my manager about quitting :(
Thanks for sharing. On the one hand, maybe it sucks and you should quit. But, maybe they got an awesome vibe off of you and that’s why they hired you on the spot. Maybe they actually think that you would make a good addition to their tight crew. But absolutely don’t worry about quitting or confrontation. It should be as simple as “Hey, I appreciate the opportunity but its not working out and [fill-in-the-blank] will be my last day.” Good luck!

Wondering why you're scared to confront your manager? The one thing I've learned along the way, is that nobody else is thinking about your best interest- you gotta do you! If quitting is what you want and feels like the right decision at this time, you must respect that and just do it.
I have a demon boss from the pit of hell.shes a terrible communicator, plays favorites, love bombs me one minute and the next minute I do everything wrong
love my coworkers but I can't deal with the crazy bipolar " boss" but I love my job.any advice?
I’m going to be leaving my job soon. I do the same thing every day, my coworker is annoying and always negative and on the days I work it’s like she tries to find something to do so that I have to wait on all the customers. My boss has also been really mean to me and has been taking advantage of me and it’s to the point where I feel nervous and uncomfortable around her and I just can’t do it anymore.
Sounds like a good move to get out of there! Thanks for the comment.
Having work delegated to you by a coworker who simply doesn't do it really can make you feel exploited. If you called in sick, she would have to wait on all the customers herself.
i just started video surveillance at a shopping mall and want to quit already...sitting in a chair for 12 hours while having to remember a bunch of shit while hoping my coworkers won't run out of patience with me it mentally exhausts me....i hope i'm gonna make it until they give me this security guard qualification then i wanna quit and find a more chill job
Menace - this sounds horrible. Glad you got a plan for getting out. I had a security guard job in my early 20s, luckily I got to walk around but it was definitely boring and sucky.
Currently in situations 2 and 3!
Anant-I feel for you! I made some other videos for getting out of that situation. Hopefully you can find something you can use in here: czcams.com/video/eX6QOiHLWe0/video.html + czcams.com/video/nqk-v1mpSME/video.html
Time to create an exit strategy 🙌🏻
Thanks for the inputs guys! Working on myy next move :)
This video appearing is a sign. God and the universe knows!!
Ive been ready to quit my job and its been a lil over a month. Ive really been trying to keep my cool, but someone is about to catch a good ol fashion a$$ whoopin! I made rants on my channel about the f*ckery and i gotta leave before I lose all my nice juice and let them see that other side!
That last one
Hahaha oh my God I can't believe I gat to go deal with this place
Awesome
Thanks for the love
I have nightmares about my job and it's getting frustrating not getting other offers fast enough. Interviews are rolling in though so that's hopeful.
I feel you. It sucks. I made this other video about starting your job hunt: czcams.com/video/nqk-v1mpSME/video.html It might be useful thought it sounds like you're already on top of things. Good luck!
@@NamdevHardisty1 Thanks for responding! I'm actually awaiting my offer letter from my new department now. I will however, watch this video and share it with my colleague who is also in the midst of getting out of the hell hole.
I don’t even want to wake up. I had suicidal thoughts. That’s how bad my situation is at work. I dnt have problem with my boss. The thing that gets me is the job itself. It’s mentally and physically draining. Seriously, its whole 8hrs of sort of like deciphering, analyzing, a lot of calculations, working with the system and all sorts of thing. I can’t even explain how overwhelming it is. And im the lowest paid in the group. It’s just sad. I need to save my sanity, mental and physical health. In cryinng everyday going to work. I can’t sleep, eat. I mostly call in sick because i dnt want to go to wrk. My concern is my finances for quitting. 😔
Hey, first of all I'm sorry for the delayed response. I have barely checked my email or messages since lost summer because I as well have felt completely drained. I hope you've found some things that have made your days better by now. Are you still at the same gig?
Think
I hurt my ankle at work. I was told I’m fine be back here tomorrow. Little did they know i tore a part of my Achilles and now they seem to care.
Ugh, that sucks. I hope you're getting that Workman's Comp.

Ha ha, I do what I can.
I agree. It also helps to have a sense of humor. See CZcams video "When Killing Yourself at Work is Like Peeing in Dark Pants."
If you quit your job you get no unemployment.
franimal007 And?
You just get another job that's more tolerable!
@@ShainaLeis Exactly!
True. If you're working for a place that will soon go out of business or downsize, it may make sense to stay until the end. Then you can collect unemployment while you search for another job.
I only need one more sign before I quit my dam job
I'm not sure if that's good news or bad news, right? But at least you know that its time to start looking for something better so that if you hit reason #3 you're prepared. Thanks for the comment!

I feel like I am going to be beaten up - like I am approaching an agressive frightening person.
wulfina moon Mission accomplished. Now you can watch the video.
👍
I wished that I could last 15 year.
I was enjoying my job until the powers that be, didn't want me to. I was being micro-managed by 3 others, and sometimes more, although 'technically' I had one boss. Talk about people with NOTHING better to do to make their lives seem significant. So, that's 4 bosses for ONE EMPLOYEE! ONE EMPLOYEE! Sooooo Silly! Now, who's the silly one that remains under their employment?? I'm no kid, I'm responsible, I'm trustworthy, easy to get along with, and conscientious. Apparently, there is a problem with my ethnicity, my sex, and my high threshold for the ability to withstand abuse. God, I need a new job.
Dé.jà Vu I had been here years before.
No need to work if the life path can choose. I hate working.
I mostly agree with you.
W video
I had a conversation with my boss (will be ex boss on 19 September LOL & sigh). I told him how I have been treated unfairly by a confused old female supervisor who has no idea about job description for me and the other colleague (yup she only supervises 2 people including me😂).U know what his reaction was...."Come on, u survived for 4 months. Don't u think it's too late to talk about this now?" 😂At that time I realised that my gutt feeling has told me the right thing to do which is resigning. I love my physical & mental health. So bye!!!
His response if you had complained earlier: "Come on, you haven't even worked together four months. Don't you think you should give this some time?"
