Sign no 11 : if you keep searching and watching youtube videos about how to quit your job or if you should quit your job, that is a big sign
Agreed. I just started a job literally 2 months ago. I keep trying to force myself to think “it’s not that bad. Hang in there.” Yet here I am on CZcams watching these videos😂
😅😅
Amen to this!
Lol
Haha true
I'm in engineering. Found out last winter that the company was offering new hires about $10K more than me (I have almost a decade of experience). I asked for and got a $10K raise, but decided to put out an application in parallel to another company I really wanted to work for just as a long shot. I ended up getting that position and an additional 45% raise on top of the $10K I got at my current job. I couldn't be more thrilled.
Salary "compression," as it's called, has been a problem for a very long time. Happens to all of us eventually. Which sucks, because, using your case as an example, the company is effectively saying "All your experience, knowledge and company loyalty is only worth $10k."
As Tony Soprano put it, "There's no statute of limitations on disrespect."
Congrats to you!!! 👍🎉
yeah, my co. implementing $25/hour minimum wage...took me DECADES to get to that point. But I'm not bitter. 🙄
@@goudagirl6095 Yeah, that sucks, but I never hold it against the new folks coming in for making more than me. Good for them if they can get more money. If I'm not getting paid as much as the new people it's because the company doesn't value my work enough, and not because the company over values the new people.
Wow! Awesome good job!!!
When you have to start taking anti-anxiety medication in order to make it through the workday then that's a big red flag it's time to leave. Not worth your health.
I used to work for Intel and they told me I needed to get on some anti anxiety meds if I had any hope of staying there. They even put it in my eval that unless I got under a doctor's care, they were going to let me go. I let them go and got a buyout package too!!
@@thomashughes9246 literally in the same boat man being left to take the work load since my co workers bailed no bonus or raise yet but working for it
Welcome to the dysfunctional states of America
Not, necessarily I developed anxiety. After work moved into a bigger place. Luckily they've been working with me. That was a little over a year ago. Still dealing with it. But it seems to be better slowly
@@thomashughes9246That sounds like one of those things you should talk to a lawyer for.
I have hated all of my jobs. For the amount of money, I get paid. I shouldn't have to be worrying about my jobs on weekends or at night.
#11 - micromanagement. Everything you do needs to be scrutinized and approved by managers above you.
That's already under the "toxic" environment.
Yeah, but what if you're so overworked and burnt out that you're making mistakes and feel like you lost 30 IQ points?
@@ElSarcastro That's what happens when one is in a toxic environment long enough.
They keep telling us how well we're doing but then we find later that it's not good enough. They can't have it both ways.
*govt management has entered the chat*
I like how you released this on a Sunday. So people can feel hopeful and make change, instead of dreading tomorrow. Nice work.
Right?! So smart.
Idk man, considering I can't quit my job immediately doesn't make me feel hopeful.
@@raventhorX update the resume tonight and send it to as many companies as you can throughout the week. The longer you wait, the more Mondays you have to dread.
Do you see a lot of things that are just coincidence?
It's all about strategy :)
I forwarded this video to my wife and she said "STOP SENDING ME THESE VIDEOS, I am too overworked and underpaid in an office I dread going to, stuck in this toxic workplace all my friends left, working for a nearly bankrupt company that is ruining my health."
Sounds like she needs a new job ASAP.
You tell her that's exactly why you are sending them
The biggest issue right now with salaries is that nobody is putting effort into retaining talent. Just attracting new talent.
yep, just left a a company i was at for 4 years because they only cared about growing rather than paying attention to their employees who help get 'em there to that point. got a 25% raise and went to hourly pay instead of a dull 45-50hr week salary job
But the new “talent “ doesn’t have any!
The most important sign is when you notice your paycheck is less than your rent.
Then it may be time to move and find a new job.
@@BLaw707 exactly what I'm saying
Yup! Food industry is so bad unless you make Chef and they hop from one restaurant to another every 2-3 years
@@Illmatic25 most Jobs don't pay enough for rent. Retail is something I will never work again. Would rather drive uber
Wow MVP🏆🥇🏅🎖️
I had stayed with an abusive boss for 21 years. He wasn't always abusive but he changed over the past two years. I put up with his screaming but then it accelerated into belittling me and throwing papers. Once that happened, I walked out. I managed a small law firm and it was rough. I stayed longer than I should've because the salary was good and I knew my job well. My ex boss said "you do nothing all day." He was so upset that I walked out. He was calling incessantly and pounding me with texts. I told him that I was not coming back and I meant it! He even had his wife pleading with me not to quit. He embarrassed me in front of an office full of attorneys with that tantrum. The inappropriate, childish behavior was unbearable. So, I gave it right back to and left the following note on his door...
You reap what you sow. Next time don't abuse your staff by screaming, belittling and throwing things.
I quit!
Yours truly.
Oh, and since I do nothing all day, what does he need me for anyway? If his law firm is going down the drain let him call Roto Rooter because I'm gone 😂
Yeah I feel you lol. I was working at my friend's job back in 2016, & I was there for 1-2 weeks. My friend wasn't working that day. So I was new & working with a said super visor. We set up booths & vacuum carpets. I asked him where the vaccum cleaner was since he knows. He yelled at me & told me to stop bothering him. So I hid in the bathroom not working for hours, they paid me for that days work, & I quit right after.
I told my friend. He supported me fully saying that guy is a dip shit cuz he's like that with everyone.
I work in the legal industry as a Legal Assistant/Paralegal. My salary is very low at my current firm for the kind of work that I do and there are a myriad of other issues (increased turnover, lack of mobility, etc.). So, I started looking for a new job within the last month or so. I had some interviews and received an offer that increases my salary by over 50%. I accepted the offer, cleared the background check and will be starting in a couple of weeks.
Congrats! That’s awesome.
Congrats!
Congratulations 🎉
Congrats man!
50% it AWESOME
Yeah… I remember the weekend dreading.. it would hit by Saturday late morning. A godawful sickening and oppressive dread sensation would overwhelm…the idea of returning to work on Monday. It was really a very unpleasant thing to deal with.
Wow, you had it really bad huh? Usually I know people feel that dread from Sunday afternoons/evenings. I hope you are in a job you really enjoy now :)
I was at a job where I'd start feeling the stress on Sunday night. It was a nightmare. Thankfully I moved to a job where I almost double my salary, and that place suffered a lot of setbacks due to unethical and questionable practices. I've felt your pain. Hopefully you're in a better workplace.
That feeling of dread usually hit me around 6pm on Sunday
@@uacbpa Congrats on your new job! Hopefully I would be able to say the same soon as well..
At least you don't work Saturday evening or Sunday morning
For some of you "forced back to the office" may be a reason to quit. But it also goes the other way round: "Forced to work with people who are not coming to the office and are constantly calling in for video-conferences throughout the day (and the evening)" is also a very valid reason to quit.
I agree. Expecting me to train people remotely on complex task in which they need office equipment and resources to complete is more time consuming and frustrating. And colleagues excepting me to wait on or distribute things to their clients because I'm in the office. Now I just ignore the "anyone in the office" group text because I know what comes next.
Quit a company 3 years ago. I lasted a year and a half there. It was my shortest stint anywhere. I'm not ashamed. Working at that company made me feel like I was being driven crazy, had toxic bosses and coworkers, and started to have a slew of health issues. I had a heart attack while at work, at 35 years old and had to take a mandatory 90 days off due to it. Of course they tried shirking their responsibility in paying me, and it's also when I found out how "great" the company's insurance wasn't. Upon being cleared to go back to work, I quit within the first 6hrs of my shift. I decided to take 6 months off before landing where I am today. I make way more money, have been able to stabilize the work life balance, I don't find myself sleeping away my nights off like the previous place, have lost over 80lbs, have gotten back into shape, and have a much healthier lifestyle as a result.
I sometimes see the people I used to work with. They look absolutely miserable and in poor health. They've been brainwashed into thinking there is no other place like that awful company. If they quit, nobody is going to want to hire them. That is one of the many things the higher-ups put into the minds of the weak willed who work there. It's what abusive partners do. It's so messed up. I've tried telling them that company isn't the only show out there but they don't want to listen. You can't help those who don't want it.
I definitely agree with you about how you can’t help someone who doesn’t want the help..
Heart attack at 35? Sheesh. I am glad to hear you are okay. I am 31 and my last job raised my blood pressure. I quit because of that because I am healthy and in shape. Toxic places can literally kill you. No thank you..
@@PlanetX369 Yep, and I wasn't technically obese. All that stress will absolutely take its toll on a person.
I'm on the same boat exempt no hard attack that god I have gained weight alcohole consumption is allot more too.I need to really look elsewhere
I can totally relate
3 months in with my current job, I observed how my supervisor was not proactive, apathetic, doesn't respond to emails and chats and doesn't assist me whenever I ask for assistance. It showed me that this will be a problem in the long run so I decided to resign.
I am not going to endure BS anymore.
I’m in same position now
I'm in this exact situation and I'm looking for a new job because my manager is so unorganised and her communication is so poor. She doesn't always answer messages and texts and it's very hard to get onto her. So many other red flags I'm starting to see in this job so I'm not tolerating it anymore.
This guy is speaking the truth on toxic coworkers to bosses. I experienced it firsthand, derailing my career and income.
From my experience, toxic coworkers and bosses are THE #1 REASON for people quitting. Not money, or hours, or working conditions (these run a close second, though).
100%
Crazy isn’t it. I’ll bet you brought creativity and leadership to the table also. Once morons get a foothold in management they surround themselves with the ones they don’t find a threat. So smart people (you) get beat.
@@silverhammer7779 Yeah 100 percent how people treat you . Esp when they think you are less intelligent than you really are . I'm a training at the moment and the manger thought I couldn't ajust the roof racks on his van . I was thinking fck you mate , it's not rocket science . I did a iq test other day 150 lol . What I can't stand is how someone says I can do this in 15 mins and hes been doing it for 20 years thinks I can do the same . Saying I'm 20 years older and I can . Ok I'm new to putting up scaffolding , so maybe I can't do it in 15 mins like you can . The prick even timed me , I was think this isn't a safe practice considering it's very dangerous . Probably actually illegal in my country if truth be know .
I have had it in 4 countries.
Lost some good jobs too through it.
4:16 as soon as you hear your company was bought up by another one, or is about to merge with another company, update your resume and start your job search. Do it no matter what the muckety-mucks at your current job say.
This is true for several reasons. The job culture and work scope is likely to shift radically. You may have to move if you want to keep your job. The parent company will always have preference over the "lower" company for choice positions until the shake out is finished.
Yep very true my situation at work now
I was getting bombarded with “emergencies” every time I went on vacation. Like double. AND they were toxic 😩
I feel your pain. I can’t even take a day off for a training let alone a couple days off without crisis, phone blowing up, constant emails. Like do you want me to learn this sh*t or not 🥴😂
That's why I turn off my phone.
They will figure out that "emergency" themselves.
Keep a phone number just for work.
If you say the phone was off, that usually ends the conversation.
@@cristian-bull I left there 😂
I once took a friday off to spend the day with my wife. My manager forgot he had approved my PTO and proceeded to grill me for "forgetting to completed the work assigned to me" the following monday.
I get the Sunday scaries starting from Fri night.
That's why I left my last job 4 people quit in 2 months. I worked in a team of 12 people.
We are in the exact same situation, except it took 5 months for 4 out of 12 people to leave. Only one of the open positions has even been posted to be refilled in the 5 months that have gone by.
@@billybeemus3929 good lawd! Same, we are a team of 6…3 left, 2 we’re manger level so yeah…damn too much work!,
Oh gosh. Nail on head. 90% of these applied to me. Especially the burned out quiet quitter. My former role and business is so nuanced I won’t go into specifics. I’m not being flippant, though. I matriculated easily for 27 years without resumes or interviews and was simply scared and lost. The pandemic forced a change. Still super scary but lucky and flattered a long prior client fought for my new job and that it provides more stability and safety. Fingers crossed. And validating to realize I’ve made an impression over these trying years. Thank you, Brian!
Well said! I am also here to learn how to invest after listening to a lady on tv talk about the importance of investing and how she made 7 figure in 3 month, somehow the video taught me nothing and left me even more confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas on how to invest for retirement

I'll advise you lookup Priscilla Dearmin-Turner, she's now our real investment prodigy since the crash and have also help me and others recovered our loses
Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future
A news host spoke so highly of💕 Priscilla Dearmin-Turner and her loss prevention strategies been trying to get to her ever since didn’t know she was so accessible
@@lezliewhicker8450i just lookup her name and found her qualifications on FINRA and SEC, she seems really solid. I leave her a mail on her webpage, thanks🙏
I've just viewed your video and 8/10 signs verify that I'm preparing myself to leave a hectic, toxic job.
I just quit my dead end job today im doing door dash for now until I find something better. Im already feeling so much happier !!!!!!
I just landed a new role with around 30% increase and fully remote! It's definitely possible.
Oh what position
Oh, that's amazing! 👏 👏 👏
@@FleurRebelle doggie
"Forcing you back into the office"
I had to go to the office during the pandemic! When I had Covid, I worked remote. We have the capabilities. But as the President of the company said verbatim, "If you work for me, you're going to come into the office. I like to control my employees."
Lol so he/she owns the company? Not just a highly paid employee himself?🤣
Got passed over for a promotion. Was next in line doing the job etc. They tried to hire someone from the outside who called them the day he was to start to let them know he took another job. I applied and had two offers both with 20% pay increase. Took a job that's fully remote and the manager roll I wanted. No more hour drives. Work from home is awesome.
Yay! Good for you! I hope all is going well in your new role
Your post gives me optimistic hope! Thanks for sharing.
If everybody is quiting, but you don't want to change companies for whatever reason, it's also an option to use that situation for your advantage. Get an offer from outside, then negotiate with your current employer. If they are really in a bad situation and you are a valuable asset, they need to be flexible. Sell them how much you want to stay, and it's only about the money. You need to pay your loans, you want a child, whatever, etc. It can also be an excellent opportunity to prepone a promotion if they need to do that to give you more money. :)
As an older guy I dig your advice .
I would have loved to have someone like you backing me up when I was a young man in toxic work environments.
I did work em out but would have been sooner with gold advice coming from you.
I'm bit older than you and fully endorse everything you say.
Thank you.
I have these 10 signs...plus 10 more.
My coworkers are toxic, but I happen to have thick skin so I win. It probably also helps that I work from home.
Your family is toxic ?😄
What increases? We don't get yearly increases. Management does though. Mid and upper, but no front line or worker bees.
Experienced all of these (except being forced back to the office) at a job I had pre-pandemic when I was fresh out of college, naive and thought these red flags were normal for a number of reasons. Thanks for helping job hunters navigate the job market minefield.
Fortunate to work from home
Just put in my notice yesterday. I remember when I started my job how genuinely happy and proud I was to work there, even with almost less than half the pay at that time. So much has changed since then though and now with almost twice the rate of what I started I noticed most of these signs described in the video. Toxic ppl #1, under appreciated, employee hours cut across the company making it harder to pay monthly expenses. Some ppl have already quit without notice and more plan to before the end of the month.
My supervisor is leaving on Tuesday and I’m positive that it’s due to burnout. She’s played a pivotal role in my ability to last at this job. Just made 6 months. I can’t do it without her, or better yet, I don’t want to. It will be a hot mess…. Currently in Sunday scaries mode 😞
Ugh, I relate so much. No words of wisdom, just...hang in there, you are not alone!
@@jenmck8146 thank you!
My supervisor left last Tuesday. The company did her so dirty. She went above and beyond her job duties and they spit in her eye. So she left. I miss her and the company really does not know what they lost.
@@rabbit0877 Seems to be an all-too common story, unfortunately for us all.
I've been feeling the dread of Monday morning. Noticed my work is getting sloppy and not as... up to par as it should be and I disdain dealing with my management. I saw this video, felt so much relief that what I was feeling wasn't unique and currently looking for jobs with similar qualifications in a different industry, preferably remote
my grandma had died and I went to work the next day to finish a project I was working on. worked 12 hours that day (8 hour in office and went home worked another 4 hours) and then proceeded to stop after being very distracted and tired. I told my boss that I am sorry I couldnt do any more work I am too tired, he told me "it's a shame your grandma died but the work still needs to get done" Thats when I knew he didnt care about my well-being.
Yeah my company usually only gives 2-3% and this year they were SO gracious to give me 4% raise. 🙄
Switch companies. You will see a big pay bump by going to the competition.
Brother I hear you... at that rate whats the point? You are losing money
Going through forced return and " Sunday Scaries" Lol....the commute is 3 hours one way. The pandemic forced me into a more affordable area and a 3 hour one way commute is not sustainable esoecially since ive not had a raise in years and gas is expensive. Thank you for this video. I quiet quit long time ago. Only reason i have held on this long is because of being able to work from home and financial strength of the company. Our work team went from 30 down to 3 including me .
if you are far away like this, try to minimize the commute by requesting to coming into the office less often. its worth discussing. but be prepared for looking elsewhere. because your employer may not be willing to be more remote.
@@asadb1990 thank you for your advice. I work for a very prominent Federal agency. There is no negotiating with them. Already tried. It is honestly just time to go....i mean, i start dreading Monday on Saturdays lol
From 30 to 3? I empathize with your current situation, and I hope that you find something that deserves you. Things will get better!
This video makes me feel like quiting my job was definitely the right choice. I had a lot of these issues in my old job and I was just told to be thankful I had that job and don't lose it.
Companies tend to do that , make you feel like , "your lucky to have a job here"
Right, my overly machissimo boss proudly declared that his company was feeding families. No sir, I am doing your shit work and feeding my family.
when i first started my first career job, i used to work at pedal to the medal. this resulted in lots of errors and was burned out and stressed. in my current job, i keep strict business hours, its not my problem we have something due tonight. thats on you boss. i now work just slow enough to keep bosses happy and make my stuff last longer so i do good work but it ends up taking longer. ever since one of our colleagues left, most of the team was working slow enough to make management realize we are short one person. sadly we have a new intern who was hired full-time but if she picks up the pace the business will suffer.
You are the problem, slugs.
I'm in a position like this now, and I'm really overwhelmed by it. Relocated out of state to a new job that had a good pay raise and sign on bonus. It all looked really promising. I'm one month in and had an emotional break down this week, which has never happened to me before. Now I'm worried I won't be able to find something new to replace it and I'll be stuck. Plus I'm super worried because it's been such a short period. But even the people I work with constantly talk about how much they dislike it and want to leave.
If you move fast enough like 1 to 2 months that's no problem.
If you wait till 6 months in its not as good, so just move fast :^]
So my current workplace has a LOT of issues, but this video helped me realize that I’m also not learning anything anymore at this job.
So basically my job in a nutshell.
But I suck at passing interviews so much that I feel an even bigger dread towards it and being almost 40 i have no hope left of ever landing the next job since most companies don't even hire over 35.
Don’t give up! Keep pushing
40 isn't old at all when looking for a job. Average pay is highest between the ages 40-50 so keep pushing.
Your channel helped me get the motivation to leave my last job. I now happily have a new job with a much healthier community and work environment. Thank you for the help!
There are only 2 reasons why you should stop looking for a job: retirement and death. If you aren't either of those, best keep your profiles updated monthly.
It took me forever to accept that. I was brought up to believe that looking for work while still working was considered unethical. Then your are laid off and everyone wants to pay you less because you are not currently working. Happens every time.
Recently I applied to a position at x dollars, then they found out I could start right away and asked, "So you already left company X?" They came back in 2 days with an offer $10K less than what they advertised as the low end of the pay for the position. I passed.
@@thomashughes9246 it's a little different in Japan as job posting salaried are indicated in the job listing. The only real way to get away from predatory businesses is to start your own. Ethical businesses are extremely rare, unfortunately.
@@thomashughes9246 oh and about your unethical comment about searching for work while employed, the company will not hesitate to dispose of you the moment a decision is made to get cheaper labor or lower costs for whatever reason, even if only temporarily. Treat your employer the same way, transactional. There is nothing unethical about looking out for yourself, the company pays HR to do just that for them. The work ethic myth is still a big problem in some places, but peoe like Joshua Fluke are showing the younger generation the reality. I didn't have that benefit when I entered the workforce. Ah well. A couple more years for me and I will retire to start my own small business :)
@@BGP369 Oh believe me, I KNOW. I'm just saying that my entire generation was raised and programmed to be slaves to one company.
I'm interviewing for a management position right now after moving from an employer who insisted on a return to office. I CAN'T WAIT to poach my co-workers with remote opportunities when I make the move.
Hahaha! Go get em! Your current employer deserve it, dummies….hello the 90’s are calling..tell me your a bummer without telling me your a boomer.
Hm... in some countries in Europe this "poaching" would be illegal. Good luck with your career if that's the way you approach things...
@@GC-qe8vc Imagine justifying such a dystopian, anti-freedom outlook. Get a grip commie.
@@GC-qe8vc Poaching is very prevalent in the states.
@@GC-qe8vc You should always be poaching employees if it is not illegal, ESPECIALLY if it is profitable!
I am definitely updating my resume and putting myself back in certification classes. My job, literally dangles a carrot in my face. So much so, I has a increase in anxiety and quick high and lows in mood swings. Definitely quitting.
I relate to SOOO many of these. SUPER stressed all the time. My co. wants ALL butts in seats no matter what, and it's really pissing off employees big time especially as we've all been home for the last 2 years....
Great video, one extra point is that if everyone is quitting and there is a toxic environment it is probably best not to try to follow them to a new team. There may be some issue you are unaware of and it’s best to start afresh.
Recently left a toxic work situation. My supervisor was great, my coworkers were great, but our management was too busy expanding their empire to realize that they were on the verge of losing their flagship... I ended up getting a new job fairly quickly after the exodus began, but even now, three months later, they're still hemorrhaging their good employees (including my supervisor...)
My abhorrent Indian project manager is sending messages at 4 am to the entire team which is how I found this video.
I have the job functions of 3 people and I’m ready to quit, I just haven’t found anywhere to land.
My last job was so toxic it made me have additional monthly menstrual cycles and it would bring me to my knees with pain but I would still bring myself to work everyday. And I’m a heart patient so that job was hurting me in so many ways. I’m grateful I got away from that job. Ever since I have my cycle is normal and I’m sleeping better. It’s sad that when you leave a toxic place and the first thing you notice is huh I can actually sleep.
5:40 yeah I wake up like that even on my days off.
During this pandemic I've doubled my salary changing jobs. On my 3rd job now and I've essentially doubled my salary AND moved up the ladder 3 levels
Nice! Sweeeet!!!
Thanks for providing the information, education, and value on every video. It’s much appreciated.
I love all the advice you've given on your videos
awesome stuff. keep up the good work
I have been seriously thinking about this, Brian is this my sign?1
Always high quality content comes from you Sir
Love watching your videos on Sundays
I work in the fashion industry in a medium sized city and all the other companies seem as toxic as my current one. Based on Glassdoor. I get I could get a higher salary, but I’m afraid to jump from one toxic situation to another. Might consider changing industry altogether..
If you're stuck in a toxic job might as well get the most out of it that you can. Only reason I would think to stay is to build experience or because the brand of toxic you deal with is manageable for you.
@@raventhorX it's not really manageable. There are better days but bad days means I can't stop stressing about work during the whole weekend, being set up to fail by my micromanaging manager who yells /bangs on my table and wants me gone, blatant favoritism and disrespect. Then again, I double other fashion companies in my city are much better, sadly.
I'm afraid there are some industries known for their toxicity more than others. I can't speak for the fashion industry, but I know that there are industries known for being horrible to work in. I hope you find a better workplace. If not, I'd agree with raventhorX, work in a toxic place, or work in a toxic place making more money.
@w w Your experience in fashion reminds me of mine in several film jobs. Some industries are just rife with hostile people and organizations that enable them. If you find you keep encountering the same toxicity in multiple fashion jobs, then I think your intuition to shift industries is on the right track. I'm bringing my film-related skills to the wine industry and am a lot happier and around much more level-headed and kind professionals. Life's short and fragile - you can find a way to cultivate your fashion skills in a healthier environment. Good luck deciding!
This is how engineering work is right now. You are basically expected to be full-life-in on whatever the fucking project is. If you aren't, then you are not a team player and the toxic attitudes/comments start to fly.
This was not how this tech industry was back in the extreme-90s era and early 2000s when I decided to pursue engineering. I have a pretty bright and sharp daughter now, but I'm totally steering her away from STEM...even if she is good at math and science. "They" want our kids in STEM to keep our salaries and compensation low.
I cannot thank you enough for these inspiring videos. I currently am in the print industry running an HP digital press, and the outside market pay has surpassed me by nearly 10 dollars and my company is telling me thats too bad. It's time for a change!
You're welcome!
All of these things. Literally all of these things. But when life has drained your savings and has you living paycheck to paycheck despite working 60+ hrs a week, and it takes everything in your power just to get out of bed every morning instead of succumbing to the enormous pressure to just give up on living and end it all, the pretty words you speak remain just that, pretty words.
I hear you. I'm also going to kill myself. Have you done it yet?
I can't agree more, great points 💯
For me it's absolutely forced back into office, hate my job(so boring and unchallenging) and I absolutely feel stuck there just isn't any work and they expect me to make up my own creative projects which they dont even promote.
Thanks so much for the encouragement. Had spinal fusion last year and end up being assigned a large amount of heavily physical tasks in an office. 50% of our team have left in the last 6 months, not getting back filled
Roughly a year ago, I found a new career after going through a majority of these. Still one of the best jumps I've done!
I am at a point where I do not want to climb the corporate ladder. I am more of a top sergeant, I keep things humming, make the boss look good, and quietly get paid and bonuses. The saddest thing I have heard lately is when a high ranking executive was retiring and noted that in the past 30 years he had never taken more than 3 work days in a row off. This was said as I prepare for a 3-week trip to Italy, and when I travel there is no company phone or iPad, or computer.
Thank you from bottom of my heart 🙏
Thank you, Brian.
My company is trying to do the forced return via the hybrid model, mostly because they spent a shit-ton of money during the pandemic to renovate our building, and built a whole new HQ in another city. After working from home for 2+ years, I think we've proven being in office is not a requirement. I have found myself slipping further into the quiet quitter mode; I get my work done, but I feel zero urgency and at this point just am completely apathetic.
Lucky you got to stay home during the pandemic
@@BanellaRg I don't disagree
This is great content brother!
I walked out , 17yrs to the month. Most horrific management !!! Evil, toxic, thrive on tattletellers , thrive on mocking, making fun of staff on the floor. Closed doors of ALL HR !!! Seriously, the doors are always closed. Scored a job 3days later with nice raise. Nice company. Had to deal with the PTSD. FOR REAL, WAS PTSD !! THANKS FOR MESSAGE
Wow, I am 7 of 10 for this list, was feeling apprehensive but not anymore.
Excellent info. In the past I've seen those signs and ignored them for not knowing better. The Monday morning dread, right on point! I do see some of the signs in my current job, but I have an exit plan, I can't just leave, especially since I am in the highest pay in my industry, and not all the signs are present. Thanks for this video.
You're lucky you don't work on Saturday evening or Sunday morning
Love your videos. I had a toxic boss who used the phrase we work hard and okay hard. I quit earlier this year and found a long term contract job where I’m so much happier.
Most folks are overvalued, they go home or on holiday the place still runs.
Thanks for sharing!!
All of these applied to me. I do biomedical research using data analytics. I have been on the job market for 2 years, which for Academia or BigPharma was definitely not a buyer's market and frozen out until ~6-8 months ago. I've gotten close 7 times for these sectors, but things haven't quite aligned in my favor yet. I'm at a career stage where Associate Director or Director positions are the only viable move lateral or upward, so it's slow-going. Anyway, I love your advice and your channel. Thanks!
I like this guy
Honest
True
And helpful.
Thank you 🙏
My situation fells into 1 of them. We started with 4 accountants. Team composed of 1 older guy and 3 youngs kids. I am 1 of the 3 youngs kid they hired in 2016. Both of my young coworker left the company in the past 2 years and they didnt hire the replacement. currently we went 4 accountants to 2 while the business is growing. Not to mention that, when they promoted me last October, they hinted that i should be on track for manager promotion. came febrary, they hired a new manager because the "CFO is retiring"
Thats my story. and side note: I should be receiving a job offer tomorrow. Got the call from the recruiter 430pm Friday.
At least 6, maybe 7 apply to my current situation. The problem is my current manager. I love the company and don't want to leave. But this guy has already driven away half the original staff, and we have had 4 people leave in about as many months. I have seen many horrible managers come and go over the years, most were escorted out the door - hopefully I can ride this one out as well.
@@billybeemus3929 based on what you shared, I’d be preparing my resume and start practicing for the interview. The longer you try to “ride this out”, the more dissatisfaction you are gonna accumulate. Good luck!!
Mate, same field, similar company mindset. My first proper accounting job after school, meaning very unsure about accounts, no connection between what I had learned at school and actual invoices... Yeah, fun. I told the head of accounting, that I'll need guidance, in the interview, very much before I got hired. I never received any support, apart from the software we use. No training on the internal system, didn't receive account list to this day or anything regarding fixed assets... meanwhile, I'm on my third accounting role in the company. As a result, I am the one who's being approached by folks. Was an invoice paid on time? Yeah, I look that up and tell, even though I don't do payments anymore. A colleague forgot to attach payment details? No problem, here they are. Generated from the system. Oh AR didn't send over invoices? No problem. Anything about overhead invoices? Yeah, that used to be my position, so I can explain a thing or two, I might not be an expert, but, for some reason, I always managed to either point to the answer or to someone with it... Cause, you know, I've had to work out, what was what in my early days.
Now, I got sick these few months back... meltdown from my bosses idiotic behavior, tooth ache (the teeth had to be extracted), covid, left one evening with a fever... Yeah those were interesting three months... and guess what. Our CFO berated me over how little I were at work, even though I've had doctor's notes, and in the same breath praised me over how helpful I was to everyone around me. Then, he tried to force a pay cut on me (very illegal, where I live), because I was not at a position, which demanded the salary I started with... The CFO even tried to throw my studies in my face... Yeah studies, I gave up on, because I was needed at the company for closing and didn't go for my exams. Meanwhile, I offered, that if I ever got sick, I'd work from home, right after I were hired. All I needed was a computer, but guess what. "No home office for you, drone.", was the CFO's answer.
So I got my self a new job, so I'll be giving my notice shortly. Too bad it ain't accounting per se, but I can't stay at this company. I don't feel appreciated one bit. When I started my job, I was fine waking up early to get to the job. I was looking forward to learning from actual practice. Nowdays? I hate going to work. And the craziest thing about all this? So my company basically forced me out, yet when I started working there, HR was practically balling their eyes out, over how they can't retain talent. I wonder why is that.
@@looseycanon I feel you. Hope you are at a happier position now.
Well, i guess that 7 out of 10 is a clear indicator that I should start updating my resumee. Great video, thanks.
All of these resonates with me
I've been trying to grab a few more certifications to get out of my job. The thing is its largely not a bad job. I just...stopped...caring at some point. I could only think, I don't want to do this anymore....
Damn he ticked all the boxes on my current job lol. That's why quit early this month!
This is so nice to know it's completely possible to have a job that I can be happy at
Amazing video 🤘🏻
My biggest reasons right now are: management adding additional tasks on top of current heavy work loads, and mandatory rotating weekends/holidays. Not to mention no raises or bonuses
Love this !
Wow. Everything but the company financial performance. Yup. It’s time.
Great Video!
I watched this video and there were ATLEAST 4 reasons that i connected with.
I had a job I liked, then two guys in office left, so I ended up doing two jobs + half the other one. It was so hard but I managed, until employer got me doing another job, yet another of the lazy workers could have done that. Crazy but true.
I've been thinking about quitting my job. I used to go the extra mile, but I wasn't getting praise, and my coworkers who only did the bare minimum were getting compliments. I started working as hard as they did, and now I've had multiple meetings in my bosses office about my performance. It was terrible, and if I don't step it up, then I'm fired. Now that most of his employees are looking for higher paying jobs, he's kissing my ass about how good I'm doing now.
you should quit your job before things get worse.
my last job i had created a tool for the department to utilize for their projects, trained a new graduate and presented 3 workshops to the company but was denied a mid-year bonus because my workload had some mistakes in it (due to me focusing on the other things) and was told all of my extra hard work that i had done "didnt matter". That night i started applying for new positions that would give me what im worth. never settle for a bad company.
Within 2 weeks i had a job offer in my hands with a 25% raise and accepted that job.
A lot of these hit home. I'm burnt out, everyone is leaving my team, I feel like I'm drowning at work, and those above me don't care at all.
Do we work for the same company? That is LITERALLY my experience right now. Struggling to stick around. I’ve been applying right and left but haven’t gotten any offers, yet.
I'm at my end of the rope as they work us hard with barely any breaks and I'm exhausted but also because I have to bike and then have to work all day on my feet and also physically had an accident 3 years ago and a fall in Feb and I havehad to work still since then I just cant anymore as I can barely walk anymore
I'm glad you mentioned if you team leaves. I'm going through that with lots of people leaving my division. My role is paid above market BUT I think other roles weren't. Now my PM is leaving and I think I need to look elsewhere. I don't want to be the last one standing.
Just shut the lights off when you leave
oof, 10/10. my job was above minimum wage, but got absorbed in 2020 :) I was feeling scared to quit, I think I'll be updating my resume now.
This is a good video if you happen to be a student that has been forced to take online classes coming out of Covid. Many schools are in no hurry to bring their students back to the class room. Their teaching staff is quietly quitting and could care less about your success after school.
I may not be in corporate office but similarly alot of these points carry over into places. A co-worker was having a surgery and would be out, several of us stepped up to cover, i worked 13 shifts in a row, 1 girl called out and my boss was trying to call me in. So many other instances that would require me to write a book. I decided that i will not be the work horse or fall back guy. Once you start that, they expect it every time
My boss has affected my self steam because lack of appreciation and communication that Really want to quit now. Thanks for this video
