    Nobody believed me for over a year that I was going to retire at 55. After 39 years and 4 plant shut downs 4 different states on my birthday I walked out. I had a great deal of responsibility over 85 people. I left my company phone and walked. People tried to get ahold of me for weeks. I didn't answer the phone. 55 was always the plan. Nobody ever gave me a dime. Good luck.

    Yes I commend you. People don't know this, but HR is not employee support like a Union. They're always going to back the company. Also, if a job lets you go, they don't give you a two week notice. They do it on the spot, or send a mass email. Great channel, by the way! If you ever decide to relocate to Arizona, reach out.

    It ain't easy being a man, especially a Black man. Once you surrender your dignity as a man (which is what they were trying to take) you cannot get that back.

But you got to have a plan and some of you need to learn to stand up for yourself and reclaim your peace jobs are so toxic nowadays go to work get your money and go home!

    Sorry, I would never quit a job without having another one lined up. That's like pretending you didn't need your paycheck or had any use for it. Also, the employer will contest any unemployment benefits, and the nation is experiencing a time in which daily and monthly expenses are higher than ever thanks to the impacts of various gov't actions. Any money you've got saved will quickly decline in amount every week you are out of work. Also, over the last 18 months, good jobs are fewer in number. I say all this as a person who has worked in some very difficult and upsetting work environments due to horrible people.
