I truly appreciate and feel what you are going through. I gifted myself, on my birthday, and left a toxic job. Do what you need for peace of mind, body, and spirit. Hugs!!!
After being a Chief of staff for a politician. I later took a receptionist job , simple answer the phone minimum responsibilities , left immediately at 5 pm. Greatest three weeks of my professional career , and then I was promoted. Lol. Let go of the freaking titles with no voice at the table. Happier out of the toxic environments.
Yes!!! take it from me YOU CAN QUIT!!!...and if you're a teacher and eligible for retirement....RETIRE!!!! You have enough money...I'm out traveling the world on a teacher's pension...ask me how and I'll tell you everything I know and how I did it!!! GET FREE SIS!!
Please share. I'll be 62 this year. I am my husbands healthcare provider. I am thinking of early retirement because talking care of him is a full-time position.
I quit my toxic job at the beginning of the pandemic. I went back to work in January of this year. My family thinks I’m crazy because I say I enjoyed this time and the isolation from everybody wanting and needing something. Those were the best two years of my life traveling and not having to worry about work.
I truly understand your reasoning. The pandemic showed me how to stop being the person everybody could depend on. Now they want to know why im not back out yet. Newsflash: i'm never going to be back out. I'm resting in peace and quiet.
I quit my job after being there for 21 years. I took 10 months off. Now I have a new job where I work from home almost everyday, they already appreciate me and I have only been working for 3 weeks. Best decision I have made in a longtime.
I put in my two weeks notice today. It was unexpected because I didn't have much of an issue. So many haters at work for no reason. I am doing my best to stay confident in my decision and to say less to coworkers and managers. Two weeks!
Hi. Also a RN. I left bedside and I do care management. It’s corporate and remote. It’s less stressful, benefits aren’t great, but I’ll do it for now. Good luck on wherever you land!
@@pyt72206I’m not in nursing but I just want to say, thank you for sharing. I notice people will say they left their stressful job for another but don’t share. How is that community? Continued blessings to you.
I've been an LPN for almost 21 years, and I've been over nursing for several years, now. I have no desire to go any further in nursing or healthcare. As soon as I can find a suitable replacement for it, I'm out.
Thanks for the message. We should all keep in mind though, that an easier job doesn't necessarily mean it will pay you less money... It could pay much more 😊
I thought it was just me. So happy to be free of hostile job environments. Yes!! You are amazing and hard working . Imagine working for your self. Thank you for posting this thank you. A great quality of life purpose .
Today is my last day on the job after 30 years, I'm officially retired. I am so blessed. Job stress is finally over and looking forward to a life of ease. Thank you Lord 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
This is exactly what I did. Took 2 years off and did nothing. I was exhausted and dealing with CPTSD thanks to yt ppl bullying culture. Will not work with them ever again if I can help it.
I am a nurse here in Connecticut 56 years old and let me tell you it's hostile but it's not the Wyte it's our own it's our very own people that make life hell on-the-job here
@@andyrussell5177 I’m in the south and it not our own. It’s yts. They hate when we have anything and make us the scapegoat at work all while giving us all the work. Sorry for your experience, but it has not been mind. And a blk person has never mobbed me at work. This is their tactic. Work place mobbing.
@@Aries16603 SMH. 😔 Go back to school and learn how to comprehend. You need to take care of yourself. As Black women we take care everyone but us. Where your mind at. SMH.
June 30th is my day!! 🎉 Thanks to Stephanie in large part, for helping me change my mindset. I am going to take a year, or as long as I like, and do me. So excited, like a kid at Christmas. Waiting on my passport (it's a backlog in the 🇺🇸 so be sure to give yourself extra time. Even expedited is 9-14 weeks) ready to see this world while I can get around and enjoy it.
Nursing sucks! 😂 I quit my last home health position with 60 patient case load in October 2020! I teach Tai chi, CPR and adult community health classes. I’m applying for remote positions so I can be an expat. It’s always been my dream to travel and get the hell out of the US.❤
Before I could quit working, I had to put myself in position to be able to quit working. I first had to become debt free than i had to save up enough money. Once I did that, I took lower paying but less stressful jobs and than I switch to semi retirement and now I no longer work at all. For me it was a process because I wanted to be able to quit working for good and not just take a sabbatical. If you can't just outright quit.....work on putting yourself in position to quit. I follow the FIRE movement (Financial Independence Retire Early) . Following some of the principals of FIRE help me to not only quit work but quit work with a substantial portfolio and peace of mind. Being child free also helped a lot as well
That’s exactly how I did it. I’m now in semi-retirement phase. I am self employed part time, but I enjoy it, so I’ll probably always do that at my leisure. Kudos to you 👏🏽
i really needed to hear this. i never thought i’d hate my job but i truly do. it’s stressful, toxic, i feel like i have to be a robot to do anything right n it’s soooo much. im currently in school in hopes of pursuing if different career. bc im so burnt out in the culinary field but unfortunately my resume is strong for the field. so it’s hard for other places that aren’t culinary to consider me. ideally i’d like to work from home or anywhere around the world going graphic and product design. luckily im doing well in school n already working on my online portfolio. but with this job i just see it as a way to pay my way thru school n keep my head above water w bills. i know things will get better but it’s a steep hill.
I’m so sorry you’re going through that. Those stressful jobs can make you sick. My nerves got so bad from burn out at my last job and I started having the shakes like someone with Parkinson’s disease. Not sure if you are able to take an extended vacation at their expense to clear your head and reset your mind, spirit & body? Also a therapist and a life coach could help you come up with a plan. Keep hope for a positive, peaceful and prosperous future🙌💐💕
You got this! Be sure to give yourself grace when you need it through the phase - But the good news is you’re creating a light at the end of the tunnel for yourself so continue to focus on that bright light and you’ll get there 💡
Update: i quit that job about a month ago now i’m at a more peaceful one. I had to go through the worst of it to get to something much much better thank you every for the encouragement and kind words i’ll refer to this post anytime i need a reminder to move on to something better.
Yes, I’m on my way to something easier…… that’s why my channel is called after school….. for teachers who want life after school ☺️ Education should not be toxic 🤔🤨😬. Thanks for constant encouragement and perspective 🫶🏽
Not only does everyone have the right to take care of themselves, they have an OBLIGATION to do so, IMO. Not just to themselves, but to those who need them (spouses, children). No one is going to take care of you better than YOU! Take that break, for as long as you need to and can do so without adding financial stress. It’s amazing how much more clear things become when you take time off for yourself. ♥️
Like the other commenter suggested - try to make a plan on how to get away. But also, are all the bills necessary? Can you cut back anywhere so that maybe you could work less hours or something like that?
You’re my Harriet Tubman! Thank you for all of your words and videos. I left and took a 4 month sabbatical that I thoroughly enjoyed. I left with faith God would protect and heal me and He did. I realize all of my mental anguish, physical pain and unexpected health conditions were due to a toxic job and I chose me when I chose to leave. It all worked out so please prioritize you and your mental wellbeing! @StephaniePerry, I and the ancestors thank you!
what for dear? I quit my job with 1000 and you know who came through? My mommuh !!Moved to a new city in a new apartment and manifested a work from home position
I've been laid off twice since 2021 and both jobs were toxic so I'm moving into my business more instead. I've grown from this time of and im not going to backwards.
For some our job is truly our calling or vocation but that doesn't mean I can't still create ease with it! I have no problem walking away from that which doesn't serve me and have done so many times in the past without an ounce of guilt.
Hey, when you right, you right! 😊❤ I took a several month long break from being a manager. Coming home crying, stressed, tired, still having to cook and take care of my baby. I had enough and told them people nuh uh get somebody else to do it. Now, I'm looking to get back in the groove but I want PART TIME and 0 responsibilities. Let me get in and get out real quick.
Yes, but have a plan in place while it's done. What is your exit strategy? Do you have something else lined up? Some people regain their energy back when they QQ.
@@videostoviews2262 im not quitting my job, im just tired of going above and beyond. It’s about just doing your job without “hustling “ or stressing yourself to the point of burnout. Setting healthy boundaries
I make $71 an hour but I only work 24 hours a week so that's literally $600 a week. That's perfect for me right now. But I am a nurse and I I'm hating my job I hate it with all my heart and all my being. I think about leaving all the time. But I know I'd have to work a lot more and I do like working just every other weekend.
