I got hired within 3 days of being interviewed. I resigned within 3 days (2.5 days to be exact) because I felt the role was not a good fit and I was literally not sleeping due to pressure and anxiety, because the job description and role was totally different from what was advertised, I just found out the job was too complex, way complex for me, after a day. I felt sad because the manager is nice, but also relieved that I got out quickly.
I’m in this boat too rn
There are good jobs and good employers out there, so stay strong and find something better.
I'm in this boat rn, after months of being unemployed I feel so ashamed but the grappling anxiety is too much to bear 😢
Over the past 2 years I have been a regular job hopper for a couple of jobs
Although in the past I had sticked to jobs for 4 years , 3 years respectively
But now I m unable to stick to one place
I have been having sleep less nights due to my new jobs
@@satish_21ganiga19 Have you figured out why this happens so you can avoid it going forward?
Earlier this year, I quit a new job after the fourth day and went back to my old one. Saw the writing on the wall and there were many red flags. I’m at peace that I made the right decision. It showed me what I did NOT want to do for work.
I’ve been made redundant, I’ve been fired, I’ve had jobs offers rescinded. Businesses look after themselves first, so should us.
First of all. I'm so sorry to hear that. Must be super stressful! How you're doing OK still and can focus on what's next.
This is also exactly my point. A business will never second guess having to lay an employee off. Managers may do everything they can to keep you by finding another role. But that's it. So always look to your own interests first.
2 months into my job and it’s tiring to know they shifted heavy workload on a newbie as myself. As a fresh graduate I understand I need to learn but they’ve been expecting me to know things with bare min training or shadowing other colleagues/managers. On top of that, the managers are quite passive aggressive when I ask for clarification & I have let my supervisor know letting me handle this workload so soon might not be best.
This is all too common unfortunately. Stretching yourself is good for growth but to much of a stretch becomes stressful and unproductive.
Your taking the right approach though by having an open conversation with your manager, setting expectations, goals and managing workload.
Hi, I am in a similar situation. Can I ask what you ended up doing?
@@RockeiraForEver14 hi bestie! I’ve quit 2 weeks ago!! Honestly I can’t believe I stayed 4 months. It was so toxic & the managers kept getting worse to the point that they don’t even spare the time to look at me when answering questions. I quit without any job offers & thought whatever, wouldn’t stay even if I had to be jobless the next few weeks or month. A company approached me not long ago via LinkedIn & they pay 20% higher w/ better benefits! Tbh, if it’s too much and not worth your time, just quit. There’s always better opportunities.
@@RockeiraForEver14 choose job or your sanity.
@@RockeiraForEver14 Hey! I'm in a similar situation. I know the original commenter didn't respond, so I'm wondering what you ended up doing?
Thank you for your blatant reminder that a health-first approach carries no shame.
In fact putting your health and wellness first demonstrates self respect and self compassion.
As someone who served in the U.S. military, it is especially difficult for me to withdraw from commitments that may seem to cause negative impacts on others; however, layoff experiences have proven how quickly a company dismisses employee loyalty.
I wish you all a well-made decision that empowers your next endeavor and gives you quality sleep.
People don't quit jobs, they quit their bosses. I once had a job where the guy the boss was targeting was my trainer. He told me to always watch my back with the boss and her buddies in upper management. Another coworker vouched for him. One day the guy vanished and we get an email from the dept director to deactivate everything pertaining to this guy.
On the Friday when the pay period was over, I clocked out for the day and never went back.
Thank you for sharing! Toxic cultures are not healthy to be part of and I completely agree that in most cases - purple quit their bosses.
It still takes a lot of courage to quit. I'm happy you took the decision to leave this toxic culture and hope you found something better.
Thanks for the reminder to prioritize ourselves before anything else👍🏼
My issue witb the "feeling bad for the company" is that I don't feel bad for the company but for my supervisor. They've spent months training me, and I'm still not even fully trained. So, I just know me quitting is making their life so much harder and I feel guilty that I've just played them. They've spent months training me and it's all for nothing now. Also, my job is one where I carry a case load of clients, so quitting is so much harder for me since it's not like I can easily go. Me leaving guarantees all my co-workers jobs get harder since my cases will get dumped on them.
I need to quit since I'm going to grad school, but I feel trapped. I guess I just gotta pull the band aid off...
Totally normal feelings. You're actually doing them a favor though. The sooner they know, the sooner they can start looking for a long term solution for the role.
Good luck with school!
@@JohanPeterssonTV thanks! I actually just did the deed, I just needed to vent on here beforehand.
You're right, obviously my boss was upset but overall grateful I gave them notice.
Im glad to find this video, I was asked to be a dispatcher when they saw u could be a dispatcher but I was given the night shift and I knew I was not going to get everything down enough fast enough because my hours was during times that my activity was focused in what was going in during those times... I was grilled about a lazy/ spoiled driver who we sent his manifest to him to save him a drive...
Thank you! I really needed this!
One of the best on this topic
A have saved many lives with this video. # God bless
Absolutely LOVED this! Thank you for the insight and sound advice! ❤
Thank you 🙏
Thank for this video literally answered all my concerns.
Thank you for letting me know 🙏
Great advice, on point, simple and easy. Thank you. :)
Thank you!
Switched to a new job where I wanted to learn new things and to get a higher salary. The salary I got in hbe end was smaller I hoped but manager said after few months we can see could if it be brought up to my original desire or even higher perhaps depending how well I was doing. Sounded great!
In the new job however the orientation due to personell shortages (people leaving) my orientation was a bit of a disaster and it produced so much stress I began to have heart/chest pains. Never had them before this job and I do feel like I got rushed into things far too early. No hope of it changing from the look of things as I already talked with my manager and in the end got told off for poor performance.
I think resigning and calling it quits is the right choice and you went over things pretty well, especially number one thing being to take care of myself first. Never resigned so quickly from a job before but this happens. Wont be fun or easy but I think its the right choice. Thanks for the video, it was pretty good and made sense.
Beware of the "we can revisit your salary after you start" statement. It never happens and companies are not budgeting for those things.
What puzzles me about this though is that it has a big retention impact for companies.
This has been the best advice I’ve gotten about this topic. Perfectly paced, detailed and helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words.
Thanks for this video.. 👌 this is really helpful..
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 783 subs and > 300 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Thank you so much for this video, Johan. The guilt of resigning has been eating me for the past few months. I know - I should've taken heed of my gut feelings and pulled the trigger way earlier. Will definitely learn from this experience and will ensure none of my non-negotiables are compromised when I take on a new role in my next company though.
Thank you for sharing your experience and good luck with your next role.
One benefit of leaving a job you hate quickly is that you can leave the job off your resume. If you kept a low profile, did not put it on your Linked In page, and didn't tell many people about it, no one needs to know, and no one is going to question a 2 - 4 month resume gap. If they do ask, say you took some time off/spent time with family/took a vacation. No, it's not honest, but it eliminates the need to explain in new interviews. Though I've never left a job after such a short time, I know people who worked with me at really toxic workplaces who realized their error, left just a month or two into the job, and never looked back.
Great point!

Unfortunately I put my new job on LinkedIn. I’m young and left a company for this new accounting job but I realize now that there’s a reason why I never majored in accounting and I just simply made an honest mistake - but ppl my age try out things after college, i feel like if I have it on my resume but I’m honest with recruiters and in my cover letters they would hear me out and understand that I tried something out and quickly knew it wasn’t for me
What great advice! You are providing support and useful tools for people experiencing stress and anxiety during a bump in their career 👏🏼
Thank you for the kind words. I'm just trying to give people the head start that I never had.
thank you for this video... definitely needed this 😭💪
Hope whatever your situation is works out for the best.
amazing video, thx
Hi! This was a really great video that helped me out with my situation!
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this video! This is so relatable. I resigned during my probation period. I was working in my previous company for 5 years. As time goes by, I realised that there was not much career progression/development opportunities in my role. Hence, I took a leap of faith and went to search for other job opportunities. When I chanced upon this new job in a different sector, I was delighted because the base pay was pretty good. When I started the 'intensive' training during probation period, I experienced a 'shift shock'. Or should I say, a work culture shock because the work pace is so different from my previous workplace, and it was fast to a point where I felt overwhelmed and disconnected when coping with my work. Thats when I realised that it was a poor job fit. In addition, my health took a toll as well.
My mind and body were forcing me to resign from my job and take a break 😢
Looking back, I shouldn't have solely used money as a criterion, but to understand my areas of work interest, skill sets, strengths and weaknesses better before I pursue Or take up any job offer.
Thank you for sharing your story!
Most probably, I could be suffering from mental burnout (which I could be unaware about it). The burnout could have been triggered due to:
- not taking breaks
- a work culture shock / shift shock
Make sure you take care of yourself and minimize stress for a while to recover. If you have time I posted a video on the topic a while back running through my thoughts on the topic: ua-cam.com/video/EKwVZu793sI/v-deo.html
I can relate to this as if I've written it. I'm in similar situation, and now I've made my mind for quitting this job. It's been a month and a half but it started affecting my mental health.
Totally relarable
Thanks for this video. I’ve resigned 3 months in from a new job after relocating to another country. I left my family and friends behind assuming I will be able to adjust. But I realized after short time that I’m extremely depressed and need to go back to fix my mental health.
That's strong of you 👍 Hope you find something that better fits your life and circumstances.
I just started a job as a call center csr, been with it for almost a month now. This past week I found out the hard way what this job really is, & it's made me depressed and stressed out for the past week. Everything inside me is telling me to leave, but I took the job cuz it's fulltime pay with fulltime benefits, tho I'm starting to ? if it's worth it. They gave us a brief training period, but given the amount of info we have to process all at once while on a call...it's not enough! To put it simply, this job is not what I expected & it's already taking a toll on my mental health.
I worked a retail job for 7 yrs before this, I really loved it. It was a small team, great customers, the atmosphere was great & it was in something I was passionate about. I left them on good terms when I went for the new job. I'm sure I could get rehired at my old job if nothing else, tho I'd like to try & find something else first. I have to force myself to walk in the building at my new job. I'm so torn! What should I do? Should I quit the new job now?
Ouch! If you can, stay with the job until you've signed a new contract. But when a job is taking a toll on your mental health, it's time to leave, asap.
I just quit my job 1 month after being hired. Initially, I attributed my feelings of anxiety to "growing pains" but I looked at my previous journal entries and realized that my anxiety constantly got worse and worse.
For me, I had 3 main reasons for quitting. 1) Lack of proper training, 2) not liking the job, and 3) being a terrible fit for the team. 2&3 can't be fixed, but I even felt the lack of proper training couldn't be fixed because the people who trained me are simply uninterested in training me.
As I currently reflect on my choice, I thought that if I brought up the issue of training with my manager, I would've done better; however, I realize that the most recent hires on my team have emphasized that there is a strong lack of training which tells me that is not a problem that could've been fixed with me.
Being said, you'll simply know when you want to quit. For me, that feeling of wanting to quit just hit me; however, it was a culmination of several things that eventually piled up and got sent over the edge. The final straw was finding out I was misled about my benefits by the internal recruiter and HR not doing anything about it (in writing, she told me I would get 26 vacation days but it was actually 16)
Sorry to hear that and happy you focused on you and left.
Onboarding is incredibly important and it's puzzling how so many companies are still so bad at it. Not only will onboarding leave employees happier, it will also make them fully productive faster. So it's win/win.
Yes, we have to remember HR still always do what's best for the company.
Your comment hit every aspect which I'm living through at the moment. Two days ago I finally just accepted the fact things are just not working out. As soon as I accepted that, I felt 1000x better. While feeling some-what liberated, I also feel disappointed (naturally). However, you can only take it for so long. Much like yourself, I don't ever recall "growing pains" being like this. I have spent the past 6 weeks, day in and out, analyzing my thoughts and trying to understand the root causes. Through this process of analyzing, my initial thoughts were very emotional. However, I have finally gotten to a point where I've extracted (1) the issue, (2) attempted solutions, (3) the outcome and (4) how it affects me. I have laid this out in a excel document which now provides an easy and constructive visual. All being said, Monday morning next week should be interesting 😅. I'm just glad I know it's over.
Thank you for sharing. Super valuable!
Good luck Monday.
good video mate!
Thank you for this video my friend!
Thank you for coming back and watching 👍
Welcome my friend
Very wise advise!
Thank you!
This is one of the best quitting tutorial that hitting on all the right questions. I am 1 week into my new job, feeling overwhelmed and noticed the long hour work expectation - I am at lost at whether to go or stay
I hope you find the best way forward 🙏🏼
Earned a sub btw! I like your topics. 🙏🏻
Much appreciated. Thank you.
I needed this! I started a new job 2 weeks ago. A position that i took the initiative to first myself. I wanted calmer days, and no commute. This job is 10 min away from my house. Turned out the calmer days i thought i wanted, made my days incredibly boring and slow. I let my boss know im having concerns and im having the conversation with him tomorrow. Im filled with anxiety. Thia video helped me a lot! The good thing is that i might be able to go back to my old job. Fingers crossed!
Good luck and focus on what's best for you!
This is exactly how I'm feeling right now. Maybe it was due to my overly stressful internship experience, but my current job is just too relaxed. There is no plan for me beyond "finish this one project we assigned to you". Not to mention there is little to no training or briefing, I've been here for a month and I'm still clueless on what my job purpose is. Of course I expect to finish the project before I leave, but I've been at my current job for a month and the lack of a roadmap for my future scares me. Thankfully, another job offer came for me just in time to save me from all this mess. The new job's benefits isn't as great as my current one, and it's for a contractor position rather than my current permanent position, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. It's a leap of faith.
@novicetim6138 That's terrible. Did you have a direct, honest conversation with your manager?
Thanks this helped me!
Thank you! That makes me feel it's worth creating these videos 👍
Thank you for this video... I have not had a peaceful night's sleep in 6 weeks due to I am Leaving a job I started 2 months ago... Today was my last day actually.
Sounds like a good decision and probably was really hard to take. Hope you find a more suitable job quickly!
love this vid, people call me a job frog but for the most part I feel like its not my fault(for the most part), first job I got I almost got killed or seriously injured from faulty equipment and at this same job(boat production) they have basically no safety standards at all and the management was super abusive to you if you were new or asked questions so I walked, after that I worked at diffrent part time gigs lasting there only a few months. my family tells me its irresponsible and childish even though nearly most of these jobs were pretty toxic and bad for my mental and physical health.
On the contrary. I'd say it's mature.
You don’t have to put every job on resume or even resent job you just quit. If The job is at will then I’m also at will. Job I’m at now, the job description was pump mechanic but after one week I’m doing other things, janitorial work, maintenance work, secretary work and helping other department that does cnc machinist. So I’ve stayed on for 6months and pretty close to quitting. I have one foot out door and looking for another job. I’ve found one. It it’s 1hr and 30minutes drive. Not sure what to do but I’m quitting this job for sure
You're making a good point. I completely agree 👍
Hi Johan,
I received an offer from company A after trying to secure a job for a few months after college. During that time I was in the interview process with Company B "aligns more with what I want to do" but they took a lot longer in the interview process. My first day with Company A was today and today I received an offer from company B today. I'm stuck on what I should do and how to go about it in a professional way.
Thank You
Where would you be the happiest?
If company B is the answer, you should absolutely switch.
If you're happy, you will have a better, healthier life.
That's how I would approach the decision. Good luck!!
I am in my 6th month with my company but 1st month in a new department. One that i thought i really wanted to be in as i am a fresh grad who wants to learn about this department.
The work itself is not hard but having watched how my boss treats my colleagues and hearing things from other colleagues had made my existing mental health issues even worse.
I make small mistakes and am constantly afraid. Even though my boss is mostly nice to me now i cant trust that she will always be nice.
My anxiety almost disappeared when i made up my mind to leave but i am still scared because i assured my boss that this was what i wanted to do when i initially applied for a job here.
I am also worried that i am throwing an opportunity away because im not strong enough.
But im refusing to blame myself.
If it isnt a good fit... it isnt. Thank you so much.
Try to define what you're afraid of and what's the worst that can happen? At least that could help with the fear. Also know your worth and the value you add. Also make sure you learn from the mistakes that you make, and be open to your boss with them. Tell her how you learn and evolve. Good luck!
A job I just applied for appeals to me as its remote and I miss home a lot as I've been away for 4 yrs now. Its also full time and permenent. Really debating on taking if I got an offer. I think future companies would totally understand why I went for the remote role as family is more important.
Absolutely. There is nothing wrong/negative with remote roles. On the contrary, it shows you can take responsibility and get work done from home. Good luck 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much for this! I was in a similar situation for my first few jobs.. i felt motivated and ready to take on the challenges but decided to quit within 3-6 months due to severe anxiety :( I’m afraid i’ll keep making the wrong job/company choices or that my mental health will cause me to “quit” no matter the job i take.
So sorry to hear that. I'm really hoping you can find something in the future that makes you happy though. It may be worth talking to a coach and getting to the bottom of where the anxiety comes from. Best of luck to you!
@@JohanPeterssonTV Thank you, I’ll be looking into a coach/therapist to help guide me through this. By the way, I really appreciate your content and responses here, wishing you all the best!
Layla. You’re not alone. I’ve been working with a great company for little under 10 years and I decided to take a leadership role with another company recently. However, this job title is not for me. I’m experience anxiety and need to reevaluate my current position. But, I’m letting you know you will find the job that meets your needs and you’re not alone. I strongly suggest talking to someone about your anxiety. I’m starting therapy next week.
Hey! I'm hoping you got through this happy and feeling great with your current job situation. I'm going through a similar situation. What did you end up doing?
Going through a similar situation, just left my job after one month. I’m young and made a mistake thinking accounting was for me. I tend to always talk myself into things that sound cool, but don’t do enough research and soul searching to determine if I actually want to make the move. Now I’m stuck, but will hopefully find something that does fit my interests.
I am in my last year of high school and have two jobs. I’ve been in one job for three years and love it. My second job I’ve been in two months and it’s been tiring to handle two jobs and school study. My second job is high demand and every time I work I feel like I’m being a burden on my coworkers and boss. I keep making mistakes and my supervisors are hard to please. I feel that I keep cancelling and swapping my shifts because they always overlap with my first job which I have higher priority for. I always dread going to work at my second job as I know whatever I do nobody will be satisfied. I have feel failing at some subjects at school and need extra time to study. I want to quit this job a lot but just having trouble. So I’ve turned to UA-cam for help haha.
Do you need that second job or does it fulfill a passion in some way?
You never mention the reason for working multiple jobs while studying?
I quit a job after one week. It was through a staffing service, and they put me at a site where I had to deal with toxic coworkers and bosses-even dealing with threats and harrassment. I received absolutely zero training in this role. Sometimes it's just best to get out-especially if your personal safety is in jeopardy.
Totally agree! Glad you took the decision quickly 👍
I started a job yesterday and it seems amazing, people are nice and are eager to help me. However I’ve come to realize I don’t think I can handle work when school starts. They said they will 100% work around my schedule, I’m only working 8 hours a week when school starts. However I still feel like I won’t be able to handle it. I’m so stressed and filled with anxiety thinking about it, I can barely handle just going to school mentally . I want to call them first thing tomorrow and tell them I don’t think I can handle any work at all during school and that I misjudged my situation. I feel so awful though because they were so nice and the fact they chose me over anyone else. Plus I already worked a day and met everyone. I literally want to die thinking about all this lol. I guess if I feel so strongly anxious wise about working and going to school- I shouldn’t do it. It’s just also hard bc my fam is struggling and I’d like to help, but I just don’t know if I can sacrifice my fragile mental health for it. Anyways, wish me luck. Or give me some words of comfort lol.
I also don’t want them to hate me, but I guess that’s sort of bound to happen if I quit. I’d rather tell them now then work a month and say “hey lol I’m leaving now” after they’ve trained and really invested in me
First of all these are normal feelings. Think of you first though, you only have one life. Also think of the company as a legal entity and not of the people who work there. If the company had to downsize, it wouldn't have these feelings of hesitation and empathy.
So if you can't handle it. Let them know. Also let them know you'll help make the transition as good as possible.
In essence, when it comes to work and companies, always put yourself first.
i just started a second job ( saving up for my wedding next year) and my coworkers were literally yelling at customers. I havent worked retail in like 4 years and....im in shock. with how crazy people are now I dont want to put my self in a situation. I have to go but idk what to say
Wow! That's terrible.. No need for explanations, just quit. If they ask you for feedback, give it. But be constructive, not emotional.
Almost 2 months in my current job, so many redflags and things I’ve witnessed myself. Currently in my probation period, tomorrow I will pass my 1 month notice.
Take those things to heart as to what not to do. If the experience become learnings, at least it's valuable. Good luck!
I got a job as a veterinary assistant because I need experience for vet school. I already have a few years of animal experience. I haven’t even been here for a month yet and I’m already thinking of leaving. I’m still in school and the manager originally scheduled me to work 36 hours a week and it was a struggle trying to talk to her about my schedule. She constantly bullies and micromanages me and everyone sees that. The doctors I work with are pretty cool here but with the manager in the picture I don’t think I can handle this place anymore.
Before leaving I'd have an honest conversation with the manager. Assuming you have nothing to lose. Good luck with everything!
2 months into my job. It's a customer oriented one. They gave training but when I started interacting with customers I felt training was not enough. Everyday I face unreasonable customers and my boss is micromanaging my work. Sometimes I literally have anxiety at night thinking about going to work the next day. I don't know if it's me or the company. I don't have another job lined up. I always worry that I will be fired as it is a probation period. Should I quit as everyday is becoming painful or find another job first. My worry is that my employer might fire me first.
Can you ask for some coaching from your manager? Use real life examples so you can grow a little bit every day.
Handling people is an experience you will reap benefits from the rest of your life.
If it's really affecting your health though, quitting should be an option.
I absolutely do not feel bad about leaving a job I just started especially if the recruiter lied about the position and during the interview they don't tell you everything thats going on with the program and you get there and its a complete shit show where people are leaving and or they haven't hired the full staff yet and yeah you can ask questions but it boils down to the work itself and how much you're going to be doing while they hire and staff for the program
Today I tried to broach the topic of wanting to quit with my manager after working there for a month, and like a few minutes later my slack account as well as my company email were deleted completely. Now I don't even know where to address the resignation later (because I was trying to ask him where I should send it, but after he read that message it was probably him that deleted everything.) I feel like a dodged a bullet haha. I guess I'll wait for an email from their side
Does not sound like the best of cultures 🙁 Try to draw learnings from this and identify red flags to look for in upcoming interviews.
My reasons for quitting was because I realized I was too desperate to find a job, it wasn't what I wanted and the hours we're more than what I told them I could work and they gave me the worst shifts that I knew I couldn't go to. Yesterday I told them on the phone that I would be resigning my position. I do have some money saved up but I'll be on the hiring process again and I really do not want to go back to my old job that I had for 6 years because they truly went downhill to the point it was affecting my mental health. I should have saw it as a red flag when they told me that the stocking and cashiering position was closed. First I was told it would be night time and then I was told the next interview that it would be whenever we need you. I knew that if I went through with the schedule that they gave me which would have started on sunday, I knew that I would be overworked and overwhelmed..... For now on I'm going to find jobs that I want and if they don't fit what I want I will just thank the interviewer for their time but the one position they want me as is not a good fit for me and leave.
Sounds like a healthy plan! 🙏🏼
@JohanPeterssonTV I called to tell them that I would have to decline the offer but I guess a co-worker answered and she said that she'll tell the boss so I didn't leave them hanging. It should go to somebody who truly needs it more than I do and likes working at Deli because I don't. They couldn't fully tell me in the interview more about the position. I knew that the schedule they gave me would cause trouble and it took me a long time to get the schedule and I just wasn't fully expecting it. Although I do take accountability for applying for a role that I didn't even want in hopes that I would move up but most likely they probably would have kept me in there. I made myself believe that it is what I was wanting because I wanted to get away from my old job because it was messing with my mental health but I think I would have done things a lot differently instead of acting desperate. I also should have not said I'm willing to work any shift because that itself set me up for failure as well. My situation is very difficult and occasionally I can do mornings but not all the time. I would say to people think what is realistic for you and if it's not realistic for you then don't waste time because you can get away from someone who needs and wants it more than you do.
I cant do this yet. I need atleast 1 year and a half.. on my 5th month this week
I was offered a much better, higher paying, and overall more fulfilling job only 2 weeks into my current job. Nonetheless, I did attend the company's year event (which was conveniently scheduled only a week after I started) and I have not even finished my training. I would not like to seem unprofessional but the other job is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Any suggestions on how to approach the situation?
Go after that opportunity. Let your manager know of the situation and then send a written standard resignation letter. Remember the timing is not your fault.
Good luck and congratulations!
I’ll quit within hours if it seems toxic.
I'm 3 weeks into a new job and I'm already waking up with a pounding chest before going to work. The boss is not the kind that of boss who I can ask questions or discuss these matter to. She's controlling and intimidating and left me to learn on my own. I can also see how overtime is normalized, even glorified, in this workplace. Every little thing we do must go through the boss first. I'm thinking of resigning this week, but I'm also scared of how she will react...
That sounds toxic.
If you resign, don't care about how the boss reacts. It's about your health. ❤️
@@JohanPeterssonTV Thank you! I resigned last Wednesday. I barely finished my 4th week, but I was asked to render 30 days as it is company policy despite my anxiety.
I'm drowning in work now, but the thought that I'm leaving soon makes me feel a bit better...
@butengteng Happy for you! And use those 30 days to find your next job 🙏🏼
I just started a new temporary contract job one month ago through agency. The trainer didn't do a good job to train me, then just before the busiest month end time, my trainer suddenly quit and my manager only told me one day before that. No one else can train me and help me, I feel so overwhelming. I felt so lost and got panic attack. The job didn't turn out what I expected and I am not a good match for this job so I have decided to resign. I really don't want to stay any longer, but not sure if I should still give 2 weeks notice. I do feel bad that I want to quit only after one month and they also had another long time employee just resigned (my trainer). But I feel that they kinda expect me to replace this 2 years employee within a month. I am so new to the job and I still have many things I don't understand.
That's tough! It sounds like you need to give notice though. The one thing you can do before you do is to let your manager know what you need to succeed in the role. If they can't commit to help you, give them notice.
Good luck and I'm sure you'll land on your feet! When you find a good company and manager to work for, it'll all make sense and you'll quickly gain experience in the role.
I am also in this situation And I noticed myself got mental health now.i really don't feel support enough from my manager.so I dont know who can i ask to.this role is really new for me.they just drop me the plenty deadlines while no one train me.I do feel wanna do resignation after 1 month.
@@eksokleng4436 That's really tough! If you already let your manager know what things you need from the company in order to succeed, you could try HR as a last resort.
If nothing works and it affects your health, leave as soon as you can. Just make sure you bring the learnings with you into the next job interview process to make sure you don't end up in a similar place.
I just started a job one month ago. It’s a small team, just 4 of us including me. Right before I joined, I found out that my Manager and one Executive are resigning. Then 2 weeks after I joined, another one exec resigned. So I will be all alone, very new and still familiarising with the projects I have to juggle (major projects worth millions). And then when I asked the management to hire new people, they told me they’re not going to do that and asked me to be resilient. They will leave me drowning after this. I am thinking of leaving. Is this a good decision? 😢
Sorry to hear that. If you only look forward, what's the best thing you can do to make your situation better?
Thank you for your video. I've been with this job for 3 weeks now. I put in other applications but this job was the fastest when it came to the interview and hire process and my savings were running low. Unfortunately, it is also the job that was outside my area of interest and passion. I was offered the position before hearing back from other jobs, and had to turn down interviews because I had already accepted this one. I'm three weeks in and it is incredibly slow and sadly, very boring. I am not learning anything new and fear that I'm setting myself back by not finding a position in the field I want. Today, I heard back from a position that I would love, and I feel guilty but I really want to interview for it. What to do, what to do.
Interview for the job you really want. 100%.
@JohanPeterssonTV Thank you! I've accepted the interview request. Fingers crossed 🤞
@@nejram good luck! Make sure you prepare. I have another video with my thoughts on preparing for an interview:
ua-cam.com/video/kmhLlygQRbg/v-deo.html
I quit after two days of being hired. Red flags, and I refuse to waste anytime being stressed or in a bad work environment. If tables were turned, they would not hesitate to let me go.
I'm crying in my bed right now without a clue on what should I do. I've been in the job for around 3 weeks and since the beginning l feel it just not it. I've never worked in a marketing agency nor have a lot of contact with clients. They gave me already 2 projects on my own and I can't.. I don't like talking to clients and the daily routine is just so stressful that I finish my day with anxiety all the time.
I'm a recent graduate and I don't even know what to do next. If all jobs in marketing looks like this, I don't want to work in marketing anymore.
Ouch! This is way to common. Did you have an honest conversation with your manager about this?
Don't abandon marketing because of one bad company culture (if you like marketing that is).
@@JohanPeterssonTV my manager is on vacation and left me with the most intense and workaholic colleague. She does like 1000 things at the same time and it's so overwhelming to see her working.
Apart from that, I don't see any future for me in that position since I don't like the constant client contact and the overwhelming quantity of projects they manage. For me work life balance is a top priority.
@@lorenaescobar4198 Good work/life balance should be priority.
If you're not feeling alright and can financially quit, don't feel bad about it.
Did you quit ?
@@x_maria_x yes
I just started a job 4 months back.. small organization wonderful team and zero work pressure... but now I got a better opportunity with more pay, less travel and a better role in the long run compared to my current. It sounds like a simple decision but I am kinda feeling low about leaving such wonderful team. Any idea how to go about this?
This is a struggle must people will go through as they get a new opportunity. It's also the reason alot of people don't take the opportunity and stay in the worse role for many years.
Think of yourself, your future, and your time, when it comes to jobs.
Good luck with your decision!!
Going to quit a job a month in. I only took it because offers weren’t coming in for the role I really wanted. But now I got so many interviews (and offers) so I want to be a little selfish to follow my dream roles.
Sounds like a wise plan! Good luck with finding the best possible role 🙌🏼
@@JohanPeterssonTV thanks Johan! These tips will help!
@@FIFIIhow did things go for you? I'm only a month in and want to quit😢
@@modest91 it’s fine I just gave my two weeks (since I was still in the probation period) I just requested a meeting with my line manager and broke the news. He was shocked but respected my decision. I didn’t disclose too much just said this isn’t the opportunity for me. Then they retracted responsibilities etc so I was basically free (it was a remote role anyway) so no awkwardness with colleagues et.
Ahhh i started a new job a week ago, but i dont like it, Its truck driver, but I have to do a little bit of everything, and for worse I made a mistake, and boss starting to talk I made a mistake and he had to pay to replace that thing. .. I dont have any will to return on Monday...
Did you start looking for an alternative?
I just started this new job and i feel overwhelmed. Also I didn't realize that I needed to use the company truck to drive around the building for trash what do I do
Do you feel it will get easier with a bit of time?
Have you identified what it is that overwhelms you?
Is there anyone at work you can talk to about it?
I've been working for a month. I found a new job and I will be quiting tomorrow. I started the 5th and just got paid today and the money was nothing.
Hope you find something better quickly. Good luck!

@@shutit4024 Understand 👍
Thank you for this advise Johan! It’s been 1 month and a half since I got hired in my current employer and it’s a dream company/brand for me!
Now, after being exposed to all the tasks assigned to me I have come to realize that the tasks itself doesn’t seem to be a good fit for me and my strengths. Basically, I don’t enjoy the work itself, it’s not motivating me everyday. I am still on the verge of making my decision wether to quit already or not. I am okay with everything- compensation, benefits, teammates, leader. It’s just really the work itself! 😭 It’s frustrating & heartbreaking 💔
That's tough and quite common unfortunately. Look into any possibilities before you take your decision though and try to be as open as you can with your manager.
@@JohanPeterssonTV I am trying my best to be open to my boss. They seem to cannot understand what I am trying to say that I am suggesting my list of tasks to be tweaked or revised for our team to be more efficient. There are plenty more tasks to do in our team/company since it’s a tech start up.
I am also hoping I could just transfer a department but not sure if they’re going to help me on that since I am still a newbie. Moreover, I believe we need more people/manpower so we’re not loaded with adhoc and volatile tasks everyday.
@@biancafxy I see. I would try to show how I could add more value (and have more impact) in a slightly different role.
@@JohanPeterssonTV a lateral transfer within the company would be best but unfortunately they require to be at least 6 months tenured first before I can transfer to other position or department. Too bad I have felt/realized that the position isn’t a fit for me in just a span of 1 month! 😟

Hi Johan how to tell to my future employer that I had left job within 6 months reason can I tell pls answer
I would just be honest. The fact that you realize the job is not for you and do something about it is not a bad thing. It's a positive thing, as long as it's not a routine and happens frequently.
Focus the conversation with the new employer around why this job is right for you, how you will be valuable and what you learned from past experience.
Do you send a resignation letter if you just worked for one week and over the weekend you get a new offer and decide to take it and you give the news Monday morning before work starts via phone. is a call to employer enough or should you still send resignation letter?
I'd probably do both. Try to keep things as smooth as possible with the first company too.
I am going through similar situation, from bad to worse day by day and that is impacting my health and my family.
I have 8+ years of experience in a top firm and recently switched to another top firm but it's almost about to 2 months I realised it is a miss fit, I am worried about my future now and lost all self confidence in me..
Will this impact my resume, should I mention it and be honest with my future recruiter or I can omit it. Please suggest.
Don't worry about your resume. Something like this happen to most people some time in their career. Focus on you and try to get an ingredient of something that really makes you happy in your next role.
@@JohanPeterssonTV thank you Johan.. in such times, your reply is helpful
It’s been almost 3 weeks and I got a late offer from one of the companies I interviewed with. It’s significantly higher in pay. It’s the one I really wanted. Would you still give 2 weeks notice or not? I’m still in the onboarding/training part, so I’m not helping with the actual workload.
If you have a conversation with your manager, I'm sure they're fine without the notice period.
@@JohanPeterssonTV Thanks Johan. I feel really bad as I didn’t intend this to happen, but it would take about 4-5 years to make up the difference.

I have been offered 2 jobs. However, they are not really in alignment with my goals - I could accept the job and take for 1 month then financially benefit and then move on. Would you do that?
I would look at which of the roles would offer you the greatest growth then. Do any of them offer growth in a particular area that may benefit you in the future? You could then keep that until you find another job that matches up even better.
@@JohanPeterssonTV Thanks for your response. They are both well paying contract positions. They do not offer me the right amount of career growth in the area I want to excel in. However, it would provide good financial stability for a month, to accomodate me to find the type of role I want abroad ( I have already been applying, but no progress yet).
@@mrwazo I see. Then, yes, take the I've that gives you the biggest financial boost (or gives you the most freedom).

Hi , after getting married I shifted to the new country and joined a company 4 months ago as an architect. But the company worklife is stressful. Currently I m handling 2 projects, but how can each and everything be urgent every minute. As a single person I can work on 1 thing at a time . But my manager want both the projects to move everyday and every minute. Also since I am new to the country I am still learning things and getting to know things now.
My team leader is so much occupied that he doesn't have time to teach me things. They want me to learn and work on my own. If I work everything in hurry, trying to achieve deadlines then the quality of work is not mentained. I am making so many mistakes and getting screwed.
I feel like to quit this job. Please give me suggestions 🙏
That's tough! First thing I'd do is to make sure you can manage the stress: ua-cam.com/video/EKwVZu793sI/v-deo.html
Really understanding what makes a difference when prioritized is extremely important. That will also inform what you can delegate or drop altogether.
Thank you for the video link. But don't know should I quit or ??
I would start with having a direct conversation with my manager to start.
@@JohanPeterssonTV I tried but he is just behind improving the productivity
Did you ask him to help you prioritize?
Let him know what you have the bandwidth to cover and the ask him to take something off of your plate.
Someone on here help. Got hired been here for 2 days and I can’t sleep cus I think about having to go in. I was told I was going to be trained for 2 weeks and I got two days and the anxiety is through the roof. I actually want to quit
What's stressing you out about the job?
@@JohanPeterssonTV hey johan thank you for answering, honestly I’m stressing about the training aspect and how they through me into this after promising training which isn’t really adequate. Also I’ve always been someone who cares what other people think and truthfully I’m worried what people will say if I quit this after a few days cus it’s causing issues with my health currently. I’m not sure if it’s new job jitters but I don’t believe it is, i watched your video about quitting a job after a few days but I want to ask you personally is it bad to quit that soon if you really don’t like it
@@Hustler1_ Don't worry about quitting to soon. Put it into perspective: Do you think you will care about it in a year? Probably not, right? Do what feels right ❤️
@@JohanPeterssonTV even if people around me judge me for it?
@@Hustler1_ Will they care in a month? in a year? It usually helps to put things in perspective like that.
Also, do things for yourself. If you're health decline - you have to deal with it, not them.
My last job had new hires quit after 8 hours lol 😂
I had to quit after 3 years, 10 hours m-f 2 people doing job of 8. Because that is what 1st shift had
That's got to be a new record. I'm so sorry to hear that. Hoping you find something better next!
The department had two people do that in last 3 months while training with the lead in warehouse. Other departments could retain new hires.
In warehouse everything had to be done, 'right now! Lead was very demanding personality. Which is why the new hires never came back.
You think one month is bad? I just quit a job I started two days ago LMAOOO!!!
It must have been really bad (or misaligned with expectations)! I'm happy you realized and did something about it quickly.
@@JohanPeterssonTV same! If I stayed I probably wouldn’t have gotten this new job that I’m much happier in. It’s closer to me and it pays better. The managers in my old job were mean and they didn’t care for my well-being at all. I don’t last in a toxic environment like that.
I'm in a similar situation as Gillian L. 2 months into my job and with heavy expectations that I find unreasonable. Unfortunately its a position where I can't ask for less workload, and I also barely have time to look deeper into the projects to figure out how everything works and identify areas that I need to ask about and learn more about.
I have no experience and finally got a job as a reports analysts and was excited to begin the 6 months training they mentioned in the interview - imagine my surprise when I go for my first day and learn they will be transferring 2 projects to me from a senior analyst that is changing departments. Just like that. And I'm the only one in the project. All team members have their own projects. These two projects are being completely redone from scratch by the coordinator, one of the projects because its been so overworked and patched up badly that is constantly having errors. I don't really feel involved in the rebuilding of them because I have yet to fully grasp the concept of what we do and the processes to be able to add value to what is being redone. Everyday there are errors and mistakes and I'm struggling with delivering stuff and barely have time to even grasp what I am doing. And they expect me to already have a notion of stuff and be able to think 2 steps ahead despite only being there for two months and despite them already having said this was a project that needed a senior analyst. The only real training I had was a udemy course they told me to do and maybe 3 weeks of observing the senior doing the daily updates so I can do them . which does not fully grasp the whole aspect of what I need to do and we didnt have much time due to them having other duties as well. I constantly need help from the senior who left to fix some stuff. I'm very much out of my depth and never felt more anxious and depressed at the end of the day. Its like the coordinator expects me to be on the same level as my more experienced colleagues, and add to that the pressure of always being reminded that I got to join the "best team" of the department, I like my colleagues and the company seems great and I feel like I could learn a lot from them all but I feel like this just ain't it. The job is remote so I cant look around to better understand what everyone does and follow by example. When I ask what can I do to understand the project better its always "ask questions" - and when I do ask questions I get vague answers or "it depends on the project". I will try harder for the next month and try to change approaches and organise myself better, but with the lack of support and unrealistic expectations I don't know if I wanna keep going. It's not worth the sleepless nights and anxious weekends.
I'm scared that quitting this after 3/4 months will set me up for failure in the future. I want to do well but at the same time I feel like I was thrown into an ocean and asked to reach the moon. For a company that prides itself in their learning culture I think they failed to implement a good onboarding system for newbies in the area... I am finding that this might not be the right job or maybe the right time for me as I want to try other things. But I dont want to end this badly.
That was so long Im sorry and thank you for reading and letting me share this
I feel for you. Bad onboarding is far too common.
Quitting won't set you up for failure. It shows maturity that you recognize a bad fit and do something about it.
However, before you do, have an honest conversation with your manager and let them know exactly what you need to succeed. If they can't provide it, you should seriously consider leaving the job.
Good luck with everything!
@@JohanPeterssonTV thank you for the advice! I appreciate it. It's sad that bad onboarding is so common. I feel that leads to many people not really having the chance to live up to their potential... I spoke to my coordinator/manager and we will be having a 1-to-1 to discuss the projects better and discuss the next steps - I still feel he's not really understanding my position but I will see what happens. I'm giving myself another month to see if I can progress or if I remain in the same situation despite speaking up about what I need to succeed. Thank you for sharing the video and for replying!
Thanks for sharing Cheila ! I m in a similar situation too.
@Johan - How to justify this short stint to the potential employer without raising 🚩. Appreciate your valuable advice here.
@@riddhidavedhulla5450 I would always try to be as honest as possible without talking down the employer. Example "I realized quickly their culture didn't align with my values." or "The role wasn't at all as advertised."
Thanks Johan..appreciate ur advice 😇👍
I am in a situation where I do have a job line up and it starts mid next month and where I work the notice period is 1 week. Sounds a lot easier to quit the job right, well not exactly the company salary payment cycle is 1 month and they paid mid of the month about 14th each month, for 2 weeks in arrears and 2 weeks in advance, when I quit I give 1 week notice period a day after I get paid (from a moral value point of view I feel guilty as I felt like too calculative quit the day I get my monthly paid).
However, I will write in my resignation letter that I will work until the end of the month since I have been paid. The hardest part is because my mindset is already not with this company so subconsciously I would work a lot slower than usual and I know that not as professional as it seems, another issue is I already had performance coaching and my boss already told me the area I need to improve on. I really don't know what I should do in this situation to feel a lot less stressed, anyone who can provide me with some sort of suggestion would be much appreciated.
There are still approximately 2 weeks after I resign I need to serve after I resign (1 week is notice period and 4 working days extra to cover for them paying me a whole month) and I will not feel like working as I felt extremely stressed for the reason I don't really know, anyone has an idea to help me out would be great thank you.
If it's a matter of weeks, and you think you can do it without serious health complications, I'd try and keep it together for the last little while.
@@JohanPeterssonTV I am not sure why I have social phobia with this job, I am not extrovert nor completely introvert more in between but lean more like intovert. Interacting with people is one of my weakness. Now working from home I still have that social phobia and one of my major struggle now is dreading to my mindset into work mode.
Some people I ask for opinion about my situation have suggest that I take 2 - 3 days sick leave if I must work until end of month. But I am not certain how strict this company is regards to provide sick certificate from the doctors. Maybe it's moral value kick in telling me don't resign unprofessionally, don't be slack whilst serving your notice period. That struggle and unease feeling creep up until I hand in my resignation and knowing the next step (base case is they are generous enough to tell me we paid you to end of month and you are okay to leave without have to pay us money back for days you haven't worked).
My suggestion to anyone who is in similar situation as me, don't take a job that is higher pay than your last pay unless you skills are good enough to do at least 80% of the job. If anyone like me can only do 60% of the job and think I can cope I just need to work hard and if must I'll take work home and study to get up to speed (unless you are able to cope otherwise you might feel uncomfortable at work everyday). I would highly recommend to analysis the situation very carefully before take a higher pay job.
Thank you for this video. I am a new joinee in a marketing firm. I have absolutely no team to work with. And my manager is just to rude to me. Demeaning me that i am wasting time and expecting go be perfect in short period of time. I am suffering from terrible anxiety and my confidence is at its low. I tried to talk to my manager that I am anxious and i am trying hard to learn new process but they dont change. Also i was not put up to the job role I was hired for. Even a simple work is putting pressure on me now and i think iam taking a lot of time to complete just to avoid errors still i end up getting silly errors. The whole organisation culture is toxic. I wrote a huge mail to my manager talked it out to HR but i feel no one is in my favour. I have resigned and serving my notice but the pressure is still on as they have no one in the team to do what i was doing. When i talked it out to my manager n mailed them they called me o my number and asked if they want to go through the whole story. Such a place with such toxic culture i dont see a future here. I sometimes feel like ditching my notice too but till i find a new job i dont want to do it. They all would say that these things makes yiu strong and hence it is becoming a norm - toxic culture should not be a norm. I really wish i find a better place to work and not loose my confidence.
The past employees too didn't like the manager a team of 8 is now only 2. I think i did right thing to quit. Right?
It sounds like you did the right thing 👍🏼 Hope you'll find something new asap.
Thank you so much your reply means a lot to me. Thank you 🙏🌹
