quit my last job working for someone else back in 2013, best decision of my life, made 300X more money and didn't put up with one more ounce of corporate abuse or exploitation. All you have to do is assert to never go back no matter what, and you never will.
Thank you for your service. Being a nurse is one of the hardest jobs. 45 years , wow , all of the people you took care of will remember you forever. Love and respect. Enjoy your retirement
I feel that bro. I’m currently working at a movie theatre but I will never work at a factory or cold storage place again. I’d rather collect bottles for a living. Just as much pay for just as much work.
I work in the most toxic office environment ever and this song plays in my head so much at work. This is basically the anthem of many people unhappy with or mistreated at their jobs.
Man, when i read that...I almost fell out of my chair...😮.....you're so dead correct! I spent 12 years in the Navy putting up with thier BS n working job to job as a civilian until I retired in 2014 thanks to the VA.....now I can express my thoughts of 35 years of work.....Fuck the Chief on the totem pole n fuck HR you spineless bastards....
Just got fired at my factory job today while I was giving my boss my notice, blasted this at full volume so my boss could hear while I drifted my truck out of the parking lot. Made a shitty situation feel a little better
Johnny Paycheck was a strange man, but he made some of the best country music of his era. My Mom owned a small country bar in the 1970's and this record was in the jukebox for five years! The record had to be replaced every so often by the vendor because it was played so much that each copy would wear out!
@@mannyeldude4083 Well, he got with a 12 year old girl when he was 43. The charges were dropped because incidents like that weren’t taken as seriously in 1981 as they were now. The rest of it is fighting, drugs, booze, forgery, etc
Amen. I discovered liberals hate qualified Christians and won't hire em. Well they can take their job and shove it. Libs talkin up inclusion, but discriminate against Christians and Jews. Bunch of damn hypocrites those liberals, well I pray that later in life they find Jesus before it is too late.
I remember our Geography teacher, Mr Richter, announced his retirement on stage at our high school assembly one morning in 2002. All of a sudden, this song starts playing and he's right there singing it! It was very unexpected for us students, and funny, seeing as he was a very humble, quiet, serious and conservative man. That day he showed us! What a legend, Mr Richter. President High School in Goodwood, Cape Town, South Africa. In service of our students and community for over 30 years. You will always have my respect, Sir.
And you know what? I can guarantee you that message was directed to the school itself, not the students. This is the reality again and again, teachers and other similar people are all with you, its the presidents the principals and owners who are the ones ruining it for everyone why us simple people try to do our jobs the best we can.
@@deni00767 at the time I posted this comment, I didn’t have another job lined up. It would be pretty stupid to quit a job without anything else on the horizon. Since then, that job fired me on a bullshit technicality. (Very long story. I will admit that it was a situation I could have handled differently, but at that time, I lost all respect for the company policy because the company had no respect for me.) I now work at a place that’s hell of a lot more respectful that the shit hole I used to work for.
This man caused me so many problems as I struggled in broadcasting... I played this for hours behind a locked door before I was fired and removed by police. But I still love it~!!
Ed... I'm a local tv reporter who got demoted from the weekend anchor desk and then dangled but denied a promotion for a 9pm weeknight anchor slot. I've been kicked around nonstop. I just got another gig for better pay outside the industry. Your comment made my day.
I had an IT friend of mine stream this song on repeat over the company's intercom, and then he and I both walked out. Message loud and clear after systematic employee harassment (impossible work load, mandatory overtime and weekends, total asshole supervisor acquired in a merger, etc.). Since he was the only IT guy onsite, rumor has it that the song played continuously for 45 minutes. They couldn't figure out how to shut it off and finally resorted to flipping the breaker switch off in the server section of the building which resulted in dozens and dozens of data files being lost or corrupted. Was told later that a few employees, who were cheering and singling the lyrics, were terminated on the spot. They were happy to leave, but a few months later, CEO was handed a subpoena: a stack of lawsuits for employee harassment, wrongful termination, fraud accusations, etc. I can't reveal the name of the company, but management was so bad it was irreparable and the company eventually closed. Love this song.
Good for you! So Glad to hear some Positivity for you and the ones who were work abused. I've been there- if I were at your old company I would have Definitely been one of the ones terminated for Singing this Beautiful, True Song.
I'm getting ready to play this for real soon, starting to look for a new job this week! Good luck to me and everyone else who's had enough of their abusive work environment and ready to move on to something better! WE'VE GOT THIS!!! 😼
Just did this with my job at the mental hospital. I worked there for 3 years, and got hurt WAY too much for the benefits to be worth it. I got into the job to help people, not be mistreated and berated for taking time off for my health. So I left, talked to H.R. kept my CNA license, and played this on the way home to feel better.
When I was a very young man in the mid ‘80’s working for a John Deere dealership, one of the field mechanics apparently had this song playing on the truck radio and every time Johnny said “ take this job and shove it!” he key’d the mic and put it up to the speaker. Absolutely hilarious! 😂😂😂😂
That’s why I’m here !! My grandfather use to sing this in the car while I would ride with him to his side jobs after he retired….. the best man I ever knew ❤
Almost had a breakdown last year, feel another one coming. My boss is actually good, but the rest of the culture / environment is toxic. in my team alone 6 people signed off with stress in the last years, 2 line managers left, one person walked out.... I just handed in my notice, literally 30 minutes ago. And I thought of this song.
@@heatherw6417 I feel you there pal. I know we all have our own problems and turds we have to pick up and want a bit of a moan, but when you're seeing good people around you snap or throw in the towel - for what, pushing buttons on a keyboard? - you think it's just not worth it. To anyone out there who is going through stress, it'll rot you faster than anything else (maybe not meth), get help if you need it.
Loved my boss but the mental strain and a 2 hour round trip commute just emotionally destroyed me in the last year! I found something near home and moving onto new things next week!
i put this in my cd player and set it to play multiple repeats after 10/22/88.that was the day when i walked off my job at a milwaukee hotel after my boss got really threatening,which he frequently did.i went to my girlfriend's nearby apartment and spent the night there.when i got back to my place the next afternnoon there were 2 nasty messages left on my answering machine,one from my boss,the other from my supervisor demanding i call them immediately.funny how about a year later they asked me to come back,not once but twice.i was down on my luck for awhile but it was the best decision i ever made.
I wish I had access to the company P/A system when I quit without notice. Working at that company was going to put me in an early grave. Plus it was one of the most oppressive environments I've ever been in. One of those "family" companies that puts the "cult" in culture.
I recently got shoved into a manager position but I've Loved this song since I was a kid. Therefore, I dedicate this song to all the jerk managers I've Ever had!!!
Punk attitude comes in many different forms, which is probably why the Dead Kennedys covered this great song. Two versions that couldn't be more different, but both fantastic in their own way!
My boss LOVES this song (it's her anthem) and would play this constantly. Since I got hired, I made her life a bit easier but would play this to make her feel good inside for her soul
Who hasn't sat in the parking lot at work with the windows up singing this song at the top of their lungs before walking into work, clocking in and smiling like you are just thrilled to be there..only to jump in the car at the end of the workday and start all over again, singing at the top of your lungs while giving the finger on the way out of the parking lot Or was that just me? lol
Gave my 2 weeks notice recently. We've all felt this way before. When its time, u just KNOW. Not sure what the future holds, but i prayed about it. Whatever happens, I'll be alright!
This is a song that transcends musical tastes. Everyone has probably felt like saying that at least once or twice in there life. Or maybe every day, depending on the type of work you do.
I fell at work and broke 2 ribs. I didn't file a claim on his insurance. I just wanted to take my vacation pay for the week I was recuperating. He wouldn't give it to me because I'm less than 2 weeks from my anniversary date. I clocked in today for the last time.
I'm 15 and the first time I heard this song was about a month ago during the last week of school. I was listening to George Jones and I saw this song and knew I had to listen to it even though it's not by him. Then somehow I convinced my teacher to play this on the last day of school. This has to be my favorite song now because I count school as my job since I'm not old enough to work anywhere
Wow you listen to good ol George that’s nice to hear. There will never be another George Jones he was a great singer! I listen to him almost everyday! Nice to hear a young man likes some ol country
@@dorimckee9512 the song was featured in one of the 13 checks from a classic country radio station that became abandoned in early September of this year and then flipped to more modern-ish country
7 years of high-school teaching in NSW, Australia. Just handed in my notice today. Better things to do with my life. Like playing this song as I walk out in 9 weeks' time!
Really hard to stay motivated in that profession. Pay is good I think, in comparison with roofing or bricklaying. However, it's not appreciated, and you can be spat upon by the product of dysfunctional families. Wish you strength, and I at least respect your service to ingrates. Australian here, using girlfriend's tab.
I'm a SF Giants baseball fan. I remember about 10 years ago at homes games, when the opposing pitcher was yanked because of bad performance, the stadium sound guy would play this song. Hilarious. Then they stopped playing it. Possibly infringement breach. Too bad. The crowd use to cheer its playing and sometimes the yanked pitcher would give a thumbs up.
For many years before retiring I joked that I was going to play this song on an endless loop on my last day.....didn't do it as ultimately thought it would be disrespectful and my friends were stuck there, didn't want to rub it in, but I can tell you I was sure humming it and reciting it in my head!!! Number one hit at Talley's Log Cabin Bar where I had my first beer in a bar....I am not going to say how young I was...LOL....good times!!
I can say after having left my terrible job two months ago and going into the best job I’ve ever had, this song doesn’t hit the same once you’re happy with your work lol
I quit my job and after they seen me walk out, half of the other employees quit too. That's what the owner gets for not knowin how to run a damn business and giving disrespect
Gretchen played a free concert at Little Creek Base in Virginia, I saw her with my bestie!!!! What an honor for us military/vets!!!! I grew up in the country in southern California; played in the dirt, road many horses, road 3 wheelers, served my country for almost 18yrs, no pretty girl just CC. ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS I WENT TO IN MY LIFE!!!!
So I have an Interview for another job next week and if all goes well I am gonna blast this song while driving off the lot of my current fast food job.
This song reminds of my step dad when he worked at his ‘penitentiary’ job (throwing cow hides). He took his own life in 2008. I would have loved him playing this song on his last day .
I remember years ago being in a store, and this song started playing on the over head speakers they used to have..Every employee was smiling, and singing along 😂😂😂😂😂
The Lord works in ways that really ain't all that mysterious. On my drive in to work today I was caught behind a coworker whose last day of work is Friday. He'd been working here for seven years. And.as if the Master DJ itself had selected the playlist, .this song came on "Willie's Roadhouse". Funny how every so often the divine DJ gets involved. I think it was played for my benefit. Leaving on good terms is the wise operation. . But I think everyone,...at least once in their life...should experience a departure episode where you breakout like a drunken slob shouting obscenities and spitting upon the bouncers as they escort you to the door.
I played this on the jukebox in the bar where I worked on my last day working just as I was walking out. Hearing it again brings back a lot of good memories, thanks for uploading.
Lawdddddddddd, my childhood. I don't know if I knew him by name, but I remember his face, and I damn sho remember this song. It was funny and catchy to little kid in the 70s. Lol! I'm reading an article in GQ written by his son, Tyler. Their story reminds me of my father and I.
There was a guy who worked with my father in the factory he was a machinist for, who would (every chance he got it) play this over the announcement speakers.
I just quit my job today and now I’m playing this, to focus on my business.

Good luck!!! 🍀❤

I retired yesterday after 45 years as a nurse. Been playing this song nonstop!
Nancy Skilton good luck to you and I thank you for your service 😃💝⛪.
Happy retirement and thank you for your many years of being a nurse.

Nurses do all the work Doctors today are lazy
congrats life is good! i hope i can live long enough to retire lol
I work in a factory. This song makes an appearance in my thoughts at least once per shift, Lord help me.
Paycheck and Coe are poets of the people.
that van life is better than any "stable" work life
I feel that bro. I’m currently working at a movie theatre but I will never work at a factory or cold storage place again. I’d rather collect bottles for a living. Just as much pay for just as much work.

After working a few years in the department of corrections, getting called in to supervise and forced overtime, this song is an anthem.
This is why we love Country Music - it tells the best stories ! Love songs, story-telling songs, relatable songs, even comedy

Every time i quit a job i play this. playing this song after quitting is the best part of the entire job
Maybe it's time for you to settle on something you like? Lmfao
@@jelle7 why do that when it feels so good to quit?
The anthem of The Great Resignation. lol
This is a song that transcends musical tastes. Everyone has probably felt like saying that at least once or twice in there life. Or maybe every day, depending on the type of work you do.
I played this golden gem on my last day of work, best moment of my life with the world's greatest song ever
i work for 7.50 an hour, i feel like playing this song when i finally decide t quit
quit my job today !
Good for u! Quittin fckn dollar general . With ya!
❤🎉❤
❤❤❤❤😊
I hope the lawyers, judges,..can get balls and true grit to leave the abuses powers by our state
Tomorrow is my last day at work. Been playing this nonstop!
I remember when he sang this song on The Dukes Of Hazard! absolutely great!!!
Me too, and boss Hogg didn't like it! Lol
I’ve been retired about nine years…song still speaks to me.
I remember watching 'The Dukes of Hazzard' and one episode had Johnny singing this song on the show. It was pretty cool.
I need to check it out, I thought I seen every episode back in the day
Hoooo boy, that episode is Peak Coked Out Johnny. Prison literally saved his life.
That’s why I’m here LOL
Ya know, come to think of it - I really it
I actually requested this song to the radio station when I was a little kid! Man, do the lyrics hit home now!
I fell at work and broke 2 ribs. I didn't file a claim on his insurance. I just wanted to take my vacation pay for the week I was recuperating. He wouldn't give it to me because I'm less than 2 weeks from my anniversary date. I clocked in today for the last time.

You're one of mine! 😊 You know you're place and you're not budging! ❤ Rebecca Ann Grubb
I'm a construction company owner ..I played this on the pa system at my old job and packed my tools now I'm the boss lol
I'm 15 and the first time I heard this song was about a month ago during the last week of school. I was listening to George Jones and I saw this song and knew I had to listen to it even though it's not by him. Then somehow I convinced my teacher to play this on the last day of school. This has to be my favorite song now because I count school as my job since I'm not old enough to work anywhere
Wow you listen to good ol George that’s nice to hear. There will never be another George Jones he was a great singer! I listen to him almost everyday! Nice to hear a young man likes some ol country
@@dorimckee9512 “He stopped loving her today!”
@@JohnlukeSabile99963 love that song and George quit drinking today
@@dorimckee9512 the song was featured in one of the 13 checks from a classic country radio station that became abandoned in early September of this year and then flipped to more modern-ish country
This is such a great song as my last day is tomorrow at a job that tried to take my health and soul!
Fun fact: when quitting his job at a skating rink, my dad played this over the loud speaker for everyone to hear
🤣🤣🤣
This was the favorite song of one of my favorite people on the planet. He died last October. It makes me tear up and chuckle every time I hear it. ❤
So sorry about your friend. A tune like this is a great way to hold him in your heart. ❤
7 years of high-school teaching in NSW, Australia. Just handed in my notice today. Better things to do with my life.
Like playing this song as I walk out in 9 weeks' time!
Really hard to stay motivated in that profession. Pay is good I think, in comparison with roofing or bricklaying. However, it's not appreciated, and you can be spat upon by the product of dysfunctional families. Wish you strength, and I at least respect your service to ingrates. Australian here, using girlfriend's tab.
I’m the last stocker left at my local “supergrocerymart” store and I’m this close to leaving. Would totally blast this if I could afford to leave
I'm a SF Giants baseball fan. I remember about 10 years ago at homes games, when the opposing pitcher was yanked because of bad performance, the stadium sound guy would play this song. Hilarious. Then they stopped playing it. Possibly infringement breach. Too bad. The crowd use to cheer its playing and sometimes the yanked pitcher would give a thumbs up.
For many years before retiring I joked that I was going to play this song on an endless loop on my last day.....didn't do it as ultimately thought it would be disrespectful and my friends were stuck there, didn't want to rub it in, but I can tell you I was sure humming it and reciting it in my head!!! Number one hit at Talley's Log Cabin Bar where I had my first beer in a bar....I am not going to say how young I was...LOL....good times!!
I can say after having left my terrible job two months ago and going into the best job I’ve ever had, this song doesn’t hit the same once you’re happy with your work lol
Congrats! So great you;re happy with you job.
Written by David Allan Coe and sung by Johnny Paycheck. Great collaboration. Two outlaw country legends.
I'm a ex factory worker but damn I work at Amazon now and I still can relate to this song
Listening to this after quitting my oilfield trucking job today
Sorry
Timeless anthem! Thank you for this Mr. PAYCHECK! Everybody has said this at least once or twice in his/her life!
Yes indeed! Timeless anthem, I've said at least 3x 🤣🤣🤣
Bro I'm quitting my job today and everyone in the shop gets to here this one
Paycheck performed this on "The Chuck Barris Rah-Rah Show" Feb. 28, 1978 on NBC. Barris called the song his national anthem.
I quit my job and after they seen me walk out, half of the other employees quit too. That's what the owner gets for not knowin how to run a damn business and giving disrespect
For realz
Amen
Back when country music was real not today's teenybopper country.
cuntry pop
I agree I'm only 18 but I live outlaw country. I ain't into Luke Bryan and suckers like him.
Luke Combs, Midland, and many others show that country is still good
David allan coe actually wrote this song.
I call todays garbage(not all, but most) Bubblegum Country!
Gretchen played a free concert at Little Creek Base in Virginia, I saw her with my bestie!!!! What an honor for us military/vets!!!! I grew up in the country in southern California; played in the dirt, road many horses, road 3 wheelers, served my country for almost 18yrs, no pretty girl just CC. ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS I WENT TO IN MY LIFE!!!!
Can't wait for the day I get to sing this...
So I have an Interview for another job next week and if all goes well I am gonna blast this song while driving off the lot of my current fast food job.
apparently many americans in 2021 have finally caught on to what this guy said in 1977
Absolutely 💯
This song reminds of my step dad when he worked at his ‘penitentiary’ job (throwing cow hides). He took his own life in 2008. I would have loved him playing this song on his last day .
All the thumbs down are employers and bosses 😁
Real.
My favorite part (and I love the whole thing with everything in me) is "My woman done left and took all the reason I was workin' for."
I remember years ago being in a store, and this song started playing on the over head speakers they used to have..Every employee was smiling, and singing along 😂😂😂😂😂
The Lord works in ways that really ain't all that mysterious.
On my drive in to work today I was caught behind a coworker whose last day of work is Friday. He'd been working here for seven years.
And.as if the Master DJ itself had selected the playlist, .this song came on "Willie's Roadhouse". Funny how every so often the divine DJ gets involved.
I think it was played for my benefit.
Leaving on good terms is the wise operation. . But I think everyone,...at least once in their life...should experience a departure episode where you breakout like a drunken slob shouting obscenities and spitting upon the bouncers as they escort you to the door.
The first 8 track my dad would shove in the player when we headed out for vacation. Good memories.
I played this on the jukebox in the bar where I worked on my last day working just as I was walking out. Hearing it again brings back a lot of good memories, thanks for uploading.
Good morning Lennice
Hello friend, I hope you're doing ok?
Lawdddddddddd, my childhood. I don't know if I knew him by name, but I remember his face, and I damn sho remember this song. It was funny and catchy to little kid in the 70s. Lol!
I'm reading an article in GQ written by his son, Tyler.
Their story reminds me of my father and I.
There was a guy who worked with my father in the factory he was a machinist for, who would (every chance he got it) play this over the announcement speakers.
A coworker told me to search this up at work today and all i can say is THANK YOU TO HIM . been listening to this song on reply lol .
Me too!!!😂😂😂🤣🤣
We all know this is Johnny's most famous record. That's okay - it's a great song. He has many other great songs too.
