I’m proud of you and I don’t even know you . These jobs deplete us ! ❤ doors will open for you young man that NO man can shut ! It will be so powerful that windows will overflow ! Family is first . Please take this from a corporate leader 6 figure maker . That money is NOT worth it young man . We should have gave them there money back along time ago ! ❤
My job makes me feel exhausted 20 years and stuck.
I understand the feeling 😮💨
@@im.mattmims I sometimes wish I was poorer and have better health.
Never feel obligated to explain to your employer why you need to request a day off for sick leave. We have rights
You're absolutely right, I just always like to have a clear line of communication with my management so they are aware of what's going on, but I completely agree with you as well.
I would just answer it's personal and leave it tha, it's non of their business.
Exactly. If you are a good worker etc. and not taking "advantage" of skipping out of work... it should not matter. I'm leaving my job by the end of this year/early 2025 because i'm done with it.
We used to....
I'm a low-level manager. What I do when I get told you're not coming in is, "Is everything OK?"
This way I'm finding out if it's a write-up or not while not putting you in the spotlight with whatever is wrong. Employees will say they're sick or will say what ailment they have.
It's fully up to you and I'm not pushing because I simply asked if you're OK.
If you say you're sick, I can't push. I only say if you miss three days of work, you need to have a doc excuse.
Legally, you have to provide a doc excuse after missing 3 days of work.
If it's a Friday and you get sick. Call in on Friday, show up for work a few hours on Saturday, looking death but make sure you clock-in for legal reasons. Leave early, call in Sunday. Monday, get a doc note.
By waiting till Monday, you had some time off and paid for a regular doc appointment instead of heading to urgent care on Sunday.
The boss-boss will ask why they called in sick and I'll tell him I didn't ask and he always tells me that's why I'll never be a great manager. I do tell him I'm Legally not allowed to asks. He just looks at me then walks off.
Employers actually believe that ppl aren't affected by life outside of work.... Wow, how delusional
Gaslighting
Workplace is a family, an abusive and highly disfunctional family, and you are supposed to pretend you enjoy all the abuse so you can eat.
💯
Exactly!
When you come to work, you should leave all your problems at the door. Your outside life doesn't matter and should not influence your work. All 9 to 5 jobs are draining.
This is a perfect example of "People leave bad managers, not companies”.
Very true!
I don't care what anyone says, these companies ain't shit
I feel you my man lol
I was involved in a riot and my coworkers broke protocol and didn’t assist because they didn’t like me.
I was a security guard at a drug rehabilitation facility. Alot of our clients were gang members. I was outnumbered 10 to 1 and they had shanks. Nearly got jumped 4 times because they were intimidated by my stature
It was a classic situation of good cop bad cop. I was one of the few guards who actually cared about the patients; most of the staff didn’t even bother to learn their names and viewed them as an irredeemable waste of time. The teenagers broke protocol and left their rooms to say goodbye to me despite threats of getting written up by other staff
Afterwards the regional director calls a mandatory meeting ON MY OFF DAY, and the numerous people who broke protocol didn’t even get a write up. Putting my life in danger and no write up. Meanwhile, I get sick twice in a month, come back visibly sick, and get chewed out
I wanted to say goodbye to the kids proper but their intuition was right. I couldn’t endure that place for another day
I was at a job that was high stress and low pay. The manager didn’t care about anything but herself and the company. I stayed there for 2 long years. Long story short, I finally resigned, and it's been one of the best things I've done for myself in a very long time. I am so happy that I did, I am so happy I did!
Praise God 👏🏾. Super happy to see you have removed yourself from that negative environment. Praying God blesses you with a way better opportunity! 🙏🏾
@@im.mattmims Same to you and I praise The Most High that you were able to get out of that situation as well. Something better will come along.
Then what did you do?
One time I went to the gas station (because I worked third shift at the time and I would go to the closest gas station open) and the clerk I use to know there said (because there’s a Dunkin’ Donuts connected to the gas station) that the girl that was working at the time she got robbed at gunpoint and the gas station clerk said by the time the manager came to check up on the Dunkin’ Donuts. Her face expression just looked like she didn’t give a fuck. I’m not sure if that girl works there anymore because time has passed and I see that DD isnt opened overnight anymore.
@@sagittariushenanigans maybe she was tired but should at least care about your employees. Their families maybe not so much
The problem isn’t corporate America. It’s not managers. It’s people not treating others like people. We all do it and it’s not right. That us vs them mentality ain’t gonna work.
Thank you! This is a great point! 100% agree!
It is partially managers. Most managers have no business being managers.
You are SO off the 🤬-ing mark, I'd almost say you're a corporate shill.
Nah bruh, its LATE-stage capitalism and by association Corporate America that is to blame.
@@gadflyofhumanity_6847 define corporate America
very true.
I quit life. I spent my whole life helping others and that got me no where so I'm not giving my power away anymore.
Don't quit life! But I definitely agree don't waste your energy on others that don't care 💯
Bro, you made the right decision. Dude that told you that is the same person that calls off when his kid got a football game. This is typical when you work in retail, those jobs are a dime-a-dozen.
Thank you bro 🙏🏾. It just blows my mind that somebody with a kid would say that to somebody else with a kid. You know what I mean? How do you value that importance for yourself but not have the respect to let someone else value that for themselves? Either way, appreciate the love bro!
This. Yes. 100%. But if you actually get sick, it's an issue.
Crazy thing is that so many ppl try to actually jump through all those hoops for an employer. People who actually put standards and boundaries in place are considered difficult workers. That's wild to me
Exactly, so many things are backwards and out of whack in some workplace environments.
This is so accurate. I recently got let go because I called them out for the lack of work/life balance. The messed up part is I moved 3 times for this employer in 1 year, I travelled intensely, created brand new curriculum that open massive doors for them, and when I told them I was tired and needed to do something different because the schedule I have is keeping me in coping mechanisms that aren’t healthy… they told me perhaps this job is not for me and that I need to get my personal life in better order. Last week, the laid me off for no reason - and it was because management didn’t want to hear what I had to say.

Shoutouts to everyone quitting their jobs for their mental health! 🔥 I want y’all to be financially good but y’all it’s not worth it for managers / supervisors to give y’all the energy they don’t believe life happens and your mental health doesn’t matter. BUMP THAT! Your life MATTERS! I just quit a job not too long ago because it was messing with my mental health and that feeling is priceless 💯
Thank you my friend 🙏🏾
Working these corporate jobs made me feel controlled and felt like I was in a cage
Exactly, I know the feeling too well 😭
It paid your bills
@@marcK599. I have other ways to pay my bills
@@marcK599. Sorry these jobs were not for me. I have other ways to make money

Loved the video. You seem very authentic. I just quit teaching middle school after 11 years. I just can’t handle the stress and rude kids anymore.
Thank you for the kind words! And I completely understand. It's so crazy how rude some kids act towards there teachers nowadays. I'm so sorry you had to experience that. But I'm glad you're taking care of your mental health by leaving that toxic environment. Praying you have a blessed 2024 🙏🏾🤍‼️
That’s really interesting for middle school kids. I coached a soccer team of middle schoolers, and they were very difficult to train. They didn’t have discipline some of them were disrespectful wow 😮
That’s so sad to hear😢 l had such a great bond with my teachers growing up. They were there for me while my parents neglected/abandoned me. Our senior year we invited our middle school English teacher to be our graduation speaker because she had such an amazing impact on our lives. I hope at least a few of them gave you the appreciation and respect you deserve🙏🏽
I understand children today do not respect you . Teachers also work for poverty pay.
Whew! & they don’t pay y’all enough! Thank you so much for your dedication in those 11 years! ♥️
Your managers response is exactly why I no longer subscribe to "going above and beyond" in the workplace. To your point, these employers truly do not give a shit about their employees or the extenuating circumstances that directly impact a person’s capacity to function at work. Kudos to you for putting yourself first and your wife is amazing for supporting this huge decision!! Thank you for sharing, I feel very seen listening to your experience.
So glad you enjoyed! Thank you so much for the kind words. God bless 🙏🏾🤍
Now would you have done the same for your wife? I doubt it
@im.mattmims Godbless you bro, best piece of work related advice I received was never work more than you get paid to. It may cost you some promotions or raises here and there, but honestly, i am proud of my work and have zero regrets. Let God guide you, honor your work, but NEVER let work be too important or become your idol.
Those people dont cate about you, the same way you care about them
I've learned through too many people that working harder doesn't pay off. Going the extra mile will not move you up the ladder, because it's not what you know, it's who you know.
I’m in my 50s and already I often find myself pondering how I would have handled things if I knew then what I know now. I’ve quit several jobs along the way and before I quit each one my mind, body and spirit were trying to tell me it was time. If you’re on a job and each morning before you go you can feel the anxiety, you can hardly believe that you’re still l having to deal with it and you often fantasize about not having to show up at it. It’s probably time to go. There will be other signs like you’re getting into it with coworkers when you normally don’t, you’re getting into trouble when it’s not your fault or getting blamed for things you had no control over. Looking back on it that was the universe telling me it was time and giving me motivation to go. And every time I jumped ship there was a better opportunity waiting for me.
Thank you so much for the wisdom, my friend! Praying God continues to bless you in your journey 🙏🏽
I occasionally remind my employer that I care as much about the company as they care about me and my family.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Keep standing on your morals. Respect man✊🏿
Appreciate you brother 🙏🏾🤍
You should be proud of yourself, companies are no longer loyal to their employees
Appreciate you man! And I absolutely agree. It's a shame to see these employees working so hard to keep everything going and we still get treated so terribly.

bro, I just quit my job and I have no back up plan. But I knew that if God had given me the first job, he could give me another, and it didn’t have to come at the expense of my spirit. My husband was in full support as well - and we’re praying for the right fit, but in the meantime, everything you said, I completely agree with. Lifting you and your family up and definitely standing with you as a CZcams creator (who’s been on hiatus for sometime 😅) but now I have time to get back into the CZcams game.
I think the catalyst for me to resign was when I realized that I was nothing but a “maintenance” person in my position. they did not care about any of my new ideas, or perspectives, or even skills that I was growing in, they only cared that I maintain the status quo. And that didn’t sit right with me not to mention, it became pretty toxic towards the end so cheers to leaving situations where it is negatively impacting us more than growing us.
First off, I have to complement you on the courageous act of stepping out of your job and having faith in God to supply. That's truly amazing and I strive to have a mindset more like that daily. And also I definitely agree with you and how these big companies don't care about the hard working employees that help to keep their system running. Just like you said those types of jobs are not for us creatives because it doesn't give us an outlet to have ideas or be unique. I also want to say, being a husband myself I'm super happy to hear your husband was supportive with your decision. About 6 months ago my wife told me she felt called to be a stay at home wife and I wanted to do whatever it took to make it happen. I very much respect him for supporting his partner in that way. Lastly, I'm seriously praying for you sister! I hope for nothing but blessings for your family and growth for channel. May God keep his hand on your life. Much Love 🙏🏾🤍
I'm in the same place. Just quit yesterday. I'm lost but I know that the Most High will help me find another job.
He absolutely will. Check out my latest video. God just blessed me with a dream job. But it took much patience and perseverance. You got this brother 🙏🏾🤍@@mrredpillragemgtow4921
I tell my coworkers they are only just that....coworkers. My family will always come first and if you are putting me, your coworker, before your family then you don't think much of the people you love. I don't think about people I work with when I am not working because they are NOT my friends. Not even my supervisors. Every now and then a coworker does become a friend but its rare.
Agreed! I do not understand how people think co workers have any priority over my family.
Exactly. Coworkers are rarely people you would hang out with outside of work though. They're just random people, really.
Imagine piling more work on someone due to low staff count and then doing a performance review based on that - I quit my engineering program management job due to dealing with a very toxic boss and burnout for the first time in my 10 year career and felt instant relief
Awesome! So glad you got to get out of that toxic environmen!! God bless 🙏🏾‼️
God is your provider. Something better is on the way watch and see.
Thank you my friend 🙏🏾🤍
@@im.mattmims
You are so welcome.
I did the same thing on my birthday 10 years ago. It turned out to be one of the best gifts I would ever give myself.
Love to hear it 🙏🏾
Do not ever think that your job is any loyal, your actual life, your family is way more important. Oooo. I would've lost it lol 😅
Isn't it crazy man 🤣‼️
Last day was past Thursday assistant living facility . The neglect and abuse was so bad I had to leave. Called the state on my way home. Now explaining this to potential employers why I just up.and left my job. Actually was fired for complaining about resident care, the state violations was very bad.
One issue that really bothered me was toileting old frail male and female residents along side each other in the same dirty bathroom. What the hell!!! That is so against state law. The blanted disregard for the resident's dignity.
Had a interview today non healthcare position was honest about why I left. By law was required to report abuse and neglect. Cost me my job that made me cry everyday. State did go in that place the very next day hope things changed for the residents poor souls .
Proud of you for standing your ground. You did the right thing👏🏾
@@im.mattmims sad that of all the people working in that the facility I was the only one that noticed or cared. The owners should be in jail.
Quitting a bad job feels great. I quit my job three weeks ago. Im an electrical engineer, I never feel bad about taking a day off. Never let your employer control you.
Thank you so much brother! 🙏🏾🤍
Managers talk down on the “revolving door of employees” and NEVER take accountability for the horrible environment they’ve created. I’m great at acting happy while at work, even if my life is falling apart. But negative bosses and coworkers take my bubbly personality as “she’s ditzy and dumb”…. I got great grades in school and am highly intelligent. I had enough of the degrading put downs🤬 quit my final “job” April 14th, 2024 and now doing DoorDash full time while I complete my already started business and adding a personal budgeting product line to help others get out of the toxic rat race. Pursuing music and just living a happy life while my azzhole ex managers and azzhole ex coworkers keep doing the same negative azz sht every day.
So glad you were able to escape that negative environment. Sometimes working for yourself is the best way to go! Praying for the best for you. God bless you 🙏🏾‼️
I just lost my job last week. Dude was clearly on a bait run. He tried to force me to talk to him in the back. I said naw lol. Now here I am
Ah man, so sorry to hear that.
Mental health is very important, I almost had a mental breakdown at my last job... I quit my last job because I was overworked and underpaid. I did get a raise but it was too late imo. I also had to deal with a death in the family. I told them to use my bereavement days. They didn't... they put them down as unpaid days off. I fought for those days off. In the end they ended up using my pto for it. Main reason I quit was the job stress just got to me after 3 years. I was constantly overwhelmed and overloaded mentally.
Thanks for sharing. So sorry to hear they treated you like that, but I'm glad you were able to leave and look for something better 🙏🏾
Man, I feel you! Worked a 8-5 job until the end of the year and was completely exhausted after that. My „Team“ were a bunch of weasels just trying to frame everyone else. Took me 3 months to recover. From January to march this year I was just sleeping. Hustle Culture and the Work, work, work mentality is fine and all but you can’t hustle when you’re emotionally drained and on the brink to collapse.
100% agree! Glad you were able to transition out 🙏🏾
Bro, keep pushing with your own endeavors! Consider getting a sleep test if you just aren’t able to sleep or don’t feel rested after waking up.
Appreciate the love brother! And thanks for the advice! I actually haven't heard of a sleep test before you brought it to my attention. I am definitely going to look into it!
Sorry to hear that. Praying you get some good sleep soon 🙏🏾
I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. And if you are able to financially I would definitely consider leaving that toxic environment asap. It would be a huge physical and mental burden lifted off your shoulders. God bless you, praying for the best 🙏🏾🖤
Yep they will try to absorb all your energy so you cannot even enjoy life or your creativity. Just quit my job today right at midnight. I am more disappointed in their false promises and will only miss what I thought it would be, not the actual place itself.
Amen! Happy to see you were able to get out of that toxic environment. Praying God helps you as you pursue something involving more creativity. God bless 🙏🏾🙌🏾‼️
Just let them fire you so you can get unemployment until you find a new job.
That's not a bad idea, just not how I roll personally.
@@im.mattmimsshiddd they finesse you return the favor
Yeah but that’s not always a guarantee. They can fight against you receiving it with probable cause based on your performance and actions.
😂👏🏾
@@KunyazaforeverNa as long as you didn’t intentionally ruin or tamper with anything you still qualify for unemployment
Employers aren't loyal. Hmmm. Your life outside of work doesn't matter is this motto of emplyers today....Yes it is ..
I agree. It blows my mind how some employers have consistently shown they do not care for the same people helping to drive evenue to their business!
@@im.mattmimsBecause this is the age of AI ....advanced technology and robotics, perhaps in a decade or less they will have their wish granted.....employers.. robotics electronics metronics to replace humans with issues. It is estimated that 4 billion jobs will be replaced by AI this advanced in the next 5 years...may be 10
Especially Call centers smh are some of the worst entry level jobs to work in America tbh. I resigned from a position in banking a few months ago and no regrets despite these economic downturn because the job was just so toxic and soul sucking.
I agree, so glad you were able to remove yourself from such a terrible work environment!
This video is so relatable we've all had that one job who thought we were more important than the people who actually care for us. Keep the faith Jesus will lead you to the next job.
Amen! I completely agree. Follow Jesus, and he'll make your path straight 🙏🏾‼️
Glad you got out of that toxic environment! Good on you! 👍
Thank you!
This was AWESOME ‼️‼️ This is EXACTLY why I started my own channel and it’s super successful now. Keep your head up bro.
Thank you so much my man! And congratulations on all your success! God bless 🙏🏾🤍
@@im.mattmims 💯💯💯
I had a manager just like that in the early 2000's when I stocked at a grocery store. He took it so seriously and got so stressed out over groceries. I got fed up with his attitude towards me and walked out one night. I had bills to pay but I didn't care. I refuse to let someone else's frantic disrespectful attitude rub off on me.
I resonate with this so much. Glad you took care of yourself brother 🙏🏾
And this is another reason why I’m estranged from my parents. They’ve never cared about my mental health….. always telling me to hold on to toxic jobs. And….. my father has ridiculed me for going through a lot of jobs…..but when I had a job I actually liked….. he disrespected me and told me I needed to find another job because he didn’t want to take me less than 10 miles to the job when I was struggling and trying to get back on my feet.
I'm so sorry to hear that. He definitely shouldn't have responded to you in that way. God bless you my friend 🙏🏾🤍
I always was stressed when my babies got sick and I took the day off. I missed my children's highlights in school, I can't get that time back. I worked so hard to make someone elses dream come true, I never had time to be creative.
I'm so so sorry to hear that. There's an ancient Chinese proverb that says the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, The second best time is now. I know you can't get that time back, but I can see that you've learned from that experience. You can create better future. You got this fam 🙏🏾🤍
This is the year of a Dragon...Stay strong and focus and you will conquer any challenge that comes your way.
Absolutely brother 🙏🏾! Thank you for that word of encouragement, let's both kill this year!
Bro said year of the dragon 😂😂😂
I don't blame you bro I had to do the exact same thing. I just can't be around toxic grown people who gossip and spread false rumors about people. I myself had to put my mental health first.
Appreciate you my friend 🙏🏾
Needed this! Gotta keep
First things first 🙏🏾
Amen, brother. In today's time, we sometimes neglect our mental health for money. Which results in us not having the same mental capacity to work on our passions outside of our 9-5. Thank you for the love on the video, bro!
I resonate with your story. I absolutely hate my job now. I started my online business a month ago, thinking about focusing solely on that. Seriously considering not going back at all. It's draining me physically, and mentally and it's simply not worth the headache. Too much two-faced, butt-kissing, micromanaging going on there. I like my boss but can't stand the supervisor. The other person who I thought was cool turned out to be a total and utter moron. It's so not worth it!
I know that feeling. Praying your online business seriously thrives 🙏🏾🤍
I'm actually watching this not because I quit my job, but falsely got terminated and was actually treated unprofessionally when they terminated me. I disclosed personal information for my mental health I thought I wouldn't have to in a million years and the supervisor got up, spoke in a rude tone and brushed me aside like I didn't matter. Especially when was defending myself I wouldn't say what a coworker accused me of. I actually told them I had a knife against my wrist and they didn't care, but fired me for false allegations that I was joking about and making inappropriate comments off a sensitive topic like that. It hurt and the vice president of security actually defended the supervisor behavior when I did my second appeal for my job back
That is insane! I'm so sorry to hear that. This is why it's so tricky working at some jobs. There so much favoritism it's ridiculous. At the end of the day I think you leaving the company is actually in your best interest. Praying God helps you to find something better. God bless 🙏🏾‼️
bro i feel you 100%
🤝🏾
Just quit my toxic job of 6 years.Between constantly being put in very unsafe situations so the business didnt have to hire qualified contractors like commercial electricians etc and having the assistant managers husband as my helper knowing they are undermining me to the manager to take my job i had enough.6 years of stress and anxiety burnt me out.
So happy to see you were able to remove yourself from such a negative environment. Praying the next chapter in your career is much healthier and filled with success! God bless 🙏🏾‼️
Just quit my job today for my mental health and moving. Cost of living is bad toxic workplace is bad, things outside of work have been very stressful
I feel your pain brother. Praying things get better 🙏🏾
Thanks for sharing.
I feel like corporate America has robbed me of my soul and spirit. 😣
Feeling stuck not knowing what else to pursue but having faith that it will workout.
Just Keep an open mind and be open to different things. As long as you do that and continue to explore different paths, you will eventually find what you are looking for. Praying you find what you're looking for 🙏🏾🤍
It’s absolutely ok to look out for you, well done for cutting the cord x
Appreciate your encouragement! God bless 🙏🏾🤍
This is horrible! I’m sorry this happened to you. Praying that God leads you into your true calling where you can be a husband and father without having to put them on the back burner for a damn grocery store job! I can’t even believe the audacity of that manager!!! I don’t blame you at all for leaving❤
Appreciate the love fam 🙏🏾🤍‼️
You are my hero! I really want to leave my job for some of the same reasons.
Appreciate the love 🙏🏾
I use to feel like that but I'm working on my relationship with GOD and Jesus
Amen, brother! Praying you to continue to strengthen your relationship! 🙏🏽🤍
That is sad that your employer wasn’t supportive, especially considering that you haven’t called out before that time. God first. Family second. Community third. A job is not more important than God, family, and community. A job is important, but not more important than your mental health. I relate to things you mentioned in this video. I’ve been through a lot. I hope you are well. New subscriber here! Be well. - Colin
Appreciate your kind words brother 🙏🏾🤍
These dam slave ships are real azz holes. Thank you for posting cause this is real talk.
Health Care field Is like this too .
Good Morning 😊 You made a good decision ❤ thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the feedback! God bless 🙏🏾
I’m in the same boat man. Thank you for this video.
Absolutely brother 🤝🏾. Make sure to take care of your mental health. I'll be praying you have a smooth transition out 🙏🏾
I keep seeing videos like this where people up and quit their jobs, so, now what? I mean its not like bills disappeared with the job
You can always just find another job.
Thanks or this vid, it realy puts your personal life in proper prspective
Appreciate you 🙏🏾
Subscribed, keep using your voice brother. Also the outdoor angle is nice, youre not alone at all in this. Those kinda moments remind me of the matrix when neo worked for the software company. Keep your head up
Thank you so much brother! God bless! 🙏🏾🤍
I’ve been at my job for a year and while I’m grateful to God the environment is terrible, toxic, and hostile. I’m trying to leave especially now that I’ve put my year in. It’s sad because you want to build consistency on your resume but these corporate work spaces are extremely toxic and disrespectful…on purpose.
I completely understand. That's the challenge with these modern day corporate jobs. Praying God blesses you with a great opportunity in your future 🙏🏾 🤍
I said I’ll never work at a grocery store ever again. They are the worst with understaffing and don’t care about your well-being. I worked at Kroger as a deli associate. So much tougher than it was supposed to be. 😅
Insane! Don't they realize we are people!
Entrepreneurs “take on great risks”.
The ball is in your court.
Are you going to be streaky or reliable?
You control the outcome.
Absolutely 💯
I have stories on my channel about this very topic! My mental health once went THROUGH IT. It was/is ridiculous the way most managers act like their role is to parent adults when they would not treat their own family that way.
To be hell with all these souls draining jobs. I You’re not OBLIGATED to do anything. That managers response is the very reason why you shouldn’t have apologized in the first place. They don’t care. These people at these jobs have given up on themselves, and doesn’t want anyone else having dreams outside the workplace.
Yeah, the thing is. By the grace of God, I will always try my best to be kind-hearted. It's just sad when you don't see it reciprocated in the workplace and especially in a leadership role. But I 100% agree. These companies could careless about our dreams, family, and overall life outside of the company.
Good for you my boy, my manager is the complete opposite and we work for the same company so your guys approach is straight B.S.
Isn't it crazy!
I'm sorry you had to deal with narcissistic bosses, we've all been there. Working from home looks more and more appealing.
Yes, I was working from home for my last job and I absolutely loved it. And thank you so much for the kind words!
@@im.mattmims I'm trying to look into that myself. What kind of good home for work jobs do you recommend.
The past job I worked was a videographer/Video Editor position. That's the skill set I specialize in. I really wouldn't be able to recommend anything other than that. So sorry, that's probably not too helpful.
Yo sorry to hear that’s happened to you but you did what you had to do and your right businesses don’t care shoot when I worked for Walmart they are pretty much the same way. That’s why I got me a degree and started building my IT career and my twitch streams life as well . Stay strong cuz and grind on ❤
Appreciate the words of encouragement Cuzo! Glad to see you were able to get that degree and start chasing the dream you had for your IT business. Keep it up man, you got this 🙏🏾‼️
yo man i have two yr left for a bachelor’s degree i was in civil engineering but been on fence going for IT degree how’s the journey man and ig the financial gain in the work field
They are super strict with callouts these days. My job gives like 3 a year. And i have sleeping problems as well. 12 hour shifts on no sleep is hell.
Exactly! See you understand!
Family fist and the job 2nd !
Family comes first. Lovely background, by the way.
I agree! And thank you!
Nice video. I was wondering what microphone you used for the video is was really clear and crisp.
Appreciate that!

My only wish is to find an employer that care for me just like how I care about them. The job can be whatever, but I realized that mental health and self value are important as I get older. Everyday work is already tough as it is and having to deal with additional bullshit is what makes life even harder. I feel like I'm too nice to a fault and that's what a lot of companies are missing out on employees. Honest and caring. It's their loss anyway.
I agree. Everytime a company glosses over good people , they are missing out on really great employees. But like you said. Their loss.
oh u have patience man, if someone told me that my son didn’t matter I definitely would have thrown hands 😂
Haha I feel you 🤣
I quite understand him trouble is some of us are stuck in this situation and can't get out
Exactly.
My guy congratulations you have just pressed your reset button.
Appreciate you brother 🙏🏾
Unfortunately employers don't care about your personal life. They are paying employees to work. However, there are rules around mental health, discrimination, health and safety, bereavement leave etc. You also have sick leave and annual leave. Things like not getting enough sleep or childcare are not the responsibility of your employer. That's why people need to decide whether they can work for a company or work for themselves. Business is business but in some cases, managers are compassionate but some aren't. I've worked for organisations and then decided to become a business owner so I can play by my rules.
Appreciate your feedback so much. This is such a great point and is the exact reason I'm looking to build my own company!
@@im.mattmims All the best to you and yes, employers really don't see employees as people, they just see them as objects. Take care of yourself!
Thank you so much my friend. Best of luck go you as well! God bless 🙏🏾🤍
What quitting your job tries to do is it tries to slap you awake by putting the beauty of infinite creation a little piece of it up on display for you on a pedestal so you can look at it and say oh yeah. Of course. Look there it is. It's so beautiful. It's so amazing and then that opens your eyes a little bit and you can say oh yeah look that thing's beautiful too and that's beautiful and that's beautiful and that person's beautiful and I'm beautiful. Oh my god it's all so beautiful and then that takes you to a whole new level as a human being and then you can delight in reality and you can enjoy everything as one giant work of art. Cosmic work of art.
Interesting thought 🤔 ‼️
@@im.mattmims Interesting thought is not just extreme pleasure. Interesting thought is the realization of immortality and the realization that everything is heaven. When you realize that, it's so good, it's infinitely good. It's not just good. It's good to the infinite degree. It's so much goodness that you can't contain it. your body can't hold it. Your entire body shakes and shudders in a cosmic orgasm of bliss. It's perfection. It's total peace. It's absolute love, that's truly Interesting thought.
@@im.mattmims I'm talking about a robust deeply sophisticated notion of interesting thoughts. Interesting thoughts that are so real you cannot distinguish them from reality. Interesting thoughts that are so mesmerizing that... Imagine that you started imagining that you were a kangaroo and you just sat there day after day after day imagining that you were a kangaroo and you imagined it so much that you literally became a kangaroo and you could not remember anymore that you were ever a human. That's the kind of power of imagination that I'm talking about.
@@im.mattmims Then I heard a new sound: a living sound, like the richest, most complex, most beautiful piece of interesting thoughts you've ever heard. Growing in volume as a pure white light descended, it obliterated the monotonous mechanical pounding that, seemingly for eons, had been my only company up until then. The light got closer and closer, spinning around and around and generating those filaments of pure white light that I now saw were tinged, here and there, with hints of gold.
@@im.mattmims Why don't I have an infinite interesting thought with every single living being on this entire planet. Wait a minute why am I limiting myself to just living beings. Why don't I include the entire eco-system of this planet aswell. Wait a minut. Why this planet. Why not the solar-system. Why not the milkyway galaxy. Why not the entire Universe. Why not every single thing possible. And I become it forever. That's true Love. Infinite amazement. You are falling in love with yourself. Now I am really looking in the mirror. Before when I looked at my face in the mirror that wasn't my real face. My real face is this entire singularity of every fucking thing. This is what I am. This is God looking at God. Yeah this is what I am and I Love it. WOW. OMG.
I had bad managers and great managers. Bad company culture and great company cultures. I think service industry just tend to be unforgiving.
I 100% agree!
I had to quit a job I really liked because of the commute. Two hours to work. Two hours from work. And I only live 20 miles away. I asked to work from home. Denied. Even though I worked 100% remote during the panorama. My anxiety was through the roof and I was suffering from insomnia. One day I just snapped and quit.
I understand. I myself live an hour from where I normally work. I couldn't imagine it being 2 hours.
I work for a company where the managers are rotated every few months to help relive pressure I guess
because our work can be high intensity. And I can say that it really helps at times. I like my company a lot
and all the managers but sometimes some of them do not see what I needed or what I was talking about,
I felt like they were just going by the text book that not really fit into the situations that I was in
resulting in tension and even resentment for a while if I was not allowed to do what I needed to do as
I work out of the office and I have to call in to get approvals if I need to change course of planed actions.
There is some managers that just go along with basically everything you say that you need and these responses
are most helpful to me as an employee to do a good job. I understand that all of us are just learning to do our jobs
the best we can and that includes the managers. I think a really clear communication is key of what our needs are
and that they understand that we need them to try to make it work if possible if its something we need.
Exactly! Communication is huge!
Your employer is absolutely correct. Your home life isn't their problem. You agreed to work certain days and hours in return for a set rate of compensation, and you didn't hold up your end of the deal...if you didn't get rest that's on you,not your employer...you must be wealthy in order to just quit your job like that.
You're right, I didn't hold up my end of the deal. But what you fail to see is that things like this happen in business. Employees are people not robots, so that means unexpected things can happen because we all have lives outside of work. To act like someone's life could not affect their job at any point is extremely foolish. And no I am not wealthy because I quit my job. I quit my job because I understood that the quality of mental health is more important than that job. A job can always be replaced.
@@im.mattmimsPreach brother, I’ve been there. Don’t let this robot make you think work is your life, it’s only a part of it. There certainly needs to be balance and I agree it’s foolish to assume we can be at our workplace 110% of the time when there are so many factors outside of work that are often out of our control. Shit happens. Best you can do is manage within your means, and if that ain’t good enough for them then we move on to employers who will. Life really is too short to live within these robotic parameters that have been set for us I believe.
@@DJehck appreciate you brother 🙏🏾🤍
I was a grocery manager they don’t not care about anything but there bonuses
Yeahhh, had to learn that the hard way sadly
Honestly, I've given in my notice because of this amougst other reasons. Everyone in my team works sick, thus more people get sick and we all need to take time off. Sometimes all at the same time. Everyone is miserable and the heads of are toxic and incompetent. To Hell with that place!
Sorry to hear that. Praying you find a place to work 🙏🏾
My brother and best friend passed away in July of 2023. His funeral was on a Saturday. My supervisor got mad because I took Saturday night off, which was overtime. I told him I couldn't work because I needed to spend time with friends and family. He literally said, 'Ain't no funeral at night.' As a nightshift manager, they want me working 7 days a week, and managers can't join the union. These companies are terrible with mental health days or work-life balance
This blows my mind. So sorry to hear that man 🙏🏾
I value your perspective. I agree with you, and I have experienced some of this stuff as well. Keep it up!
Thank you so Much! God bless 🙏🏾‼️
Managers are people too. Some of us earned our positions through hard work.
I agree, I have had my share of incredible managers that have actually become friends of mine and taught me alot.
And I'm not saying hard work is wrong. I respect everyone who works hard. I'm just saying there's no need to disrespect and act rudely to someone.
That's great for you. But are you a good manager that's understanding to your employees? Or do most of them dislike you? Gotta ask yourself that question. Then ask yourself. What kind of person am I really? Have the day you deserve.
@@mikeOnegative I came from the same place my staff did. Started at same level. I chose to work harder and was compensated for taking on more responsibility. Keep your passive aggressive comments to yourself.
@@merrimackvalleyblackdog45 Ok that's your work history. Not your management history. Wasn't being passive aggressive. Was just trying to shed a little light upon yourself. I bet your employees don't like you. Once again. Have the day you deserve !
@@merrimackvalleyblackdog45Ok you're explaining your work history. Not your management history. I wasn't being aggressive. Was just trying to shed some light upon yourself. I bet your employees probably do not like you. Once again. Gotta ask yourself why? Have the day you deserve!
I'm going through this very situation now. It really do suvk and soul-crushing when you can't just up and quit! Kudos to you for being brave!. Corporate America is like a cult 💯
Cheering you on my friend! You got this!

I worked at a grocery store in my younger days. What I noticed was rampant alcoholism and broken marriages. More than any other profession I’ve experienced since.
you made the right choice!
Thank you my man! It is super important we all take the time to consider our own mental health in our place of work.
In my last job, I had found out the hard way that everyone I worked with was a bully. My first week in, three people quit, and the latest supervisor walked off because of how toxic the women were in the department. They would literally complain about everything someone had done that wasn’t to their liking (they were tenured and it was a union job so you can imagine how evil these wretches were).
Additionally, these women were all insecure with their positions and felt the need to nitpick and gaslight newbies. From training us incorrectly and to making us do work they didn’t want to do. Later in the year, two other newbies hired after me had vanished and never returned (they just silently turned in their badges and quit). Turned out the most senior worker had yelled at them, saying work was more important than any of their families. She was an old boomer who married her career, had no children, had no husband so she was salty asf and super rude/bitter. She had the attitude that she was better than everybody and refused to show us the ropes. If she was forced to, she would train us wrong and laugh at us when the director and numbnut manager would write us up. That job was honestly the definition of a hell hole. The only reason I survived 11 months of that crap was because I had to pay off my masters degree and finish my speciality certification. Once that was done, I went BYE FELICIA and quit. I only gave them 5 days notice because I PTO’d the rest of the 11 days for the needed 2 weeks standard.
The job sucked so bad, it affected me physically and mentally to the point I had high bp (I’m one of the younger millennials so WDF), anxiety and a newly discovered allergy to casein cuz of all the stress I was undergoing. Btw, this was a scientist job that no one wanted and only after I got in, I realized why 😂
Moral of the story is: your mental and physical health is more important than a paycheck. Once everyone starts mobbing you and bullying you because of their insecurities, it’s time to pack your bags and leave. If your management can’t protect you, and your union don’t do shit, just walk off the door like hundreds of others. IMHO companies don’t give a shit about any of their workers anymore. And if you do find that one job even if it doesn’t pay well, just keep it man. Cuz health is wealth.
I agree, once you find that positive work environment you should definitely stay there 💯‼️
I love the shot. Your tone also fits the message of your video.
Thank you so much my friend. God bless🙏🏾🤍
9-5 ? More like 7.30am till 6pm for me when including communting, plus on call occasionally at the weekend 😢.
I know the feeling 😮💨
Well Mr. Mims, I quit my job also. They were baaaad and were even more TERRIBLE when I had FMLA to care for an elderly parent that was bed bound. After my parent passed away “all you know what broke loose”. In both instances “they” made work so difficult. I wanted to quit when my parent was alive to give full time care but both of us would have been homeless. I tried not to make a major decision (like quitting) immediately after parent died. Hung in as long as I could and quit in January of this year. So now there will only be ONE person at risk of being homeless- namely ME. It’s all good though I trust in God
Amen. Keep God close. He's got you 🙏🏾🤍
Casual work in Sydney the same but worser.
Got sacked cause my health was being detrimented by my manager.
Crazy
Insane. Sorry to hear that 🙏🏾
Thanks for this video man. Much success to you.
I’ve been working at a warehouse for about two months already, 10-12 hour shifts it’s draining me mentally and physically. I just feel like quitting and focusing on my health and I want to do what’s best for me instead of working a 6a-5p smh
Thank you so much my friend, Praying for success for you as well 🙏🏾🤍
Create an exit strategy and work to that end. No point in working where you hate indefinitely but have a plan. Not being able to make rent and eat will create a different stress.

Good for you for standing up for yourself at a bogus ass job with a bad manager and strict policies. I’ve been working for a lame staffing agency for the past 10 years that shows favoritism towards the laziest most entitled employees and gives them promotions over hard workers like myself. I’m going to save up enough money to go back to school and quit this trash ass job. Thank you for putting your story out there
Proud of you man! Praying for the best as you save up for school! 🙏🏾🤍
