@ Linda Raynier what does it mean if you interviewed and the next day you recieved a direct email from a staffing consultant to schedule a CALL with you? From your experience is this normally an offer for a job?
Hi Linda I'm more than a year in my job as civil engineer (1st job). Yes I learn new things it's just that it is not the vision for my career I am looking for. Is enough reason to leave my current job?
a good manager would reward his employee with more money especially if the person is doing a good job and even more so if the person has been with the company for a long time
@@skywalker7778 sometimes people motivation is money not status. Some people have had taken a job that is lower in status but higher pay/more benefits.
Yup after 29 years and rapid changes in management and that gut feeling comes along it’s then time to look at your options think things through and maybe it’s best to move on. I just sent my current boss my goodbye. It’s not a feeling of spitefulness but a feeling-of knowing it’s time to go.
Every day your sick to your stomach knowing you have to return to your place of employment. I stayed too long. One day I got up from my desk and left for good. I am now unemployed but feel so much better. When I do return to work I will quit if it is in an unhealthy environment. The money is not worth the misery of being packed in like cattle.
I mean sounds understandable, but how do you maintain yourself after quitting and being unemployed? (don't answer), that Sounds rough, unless you won the lottery.
I knew I had to leave my last job for two reasons: 1. I dreaded going to work each morning. 2. Everytime I came home, I always nagged to my wife about the day.
1. You're not learning anything new 2. You regularly feel drained 3. You've been in this job for a good couple of time 4. You know what your next job looks like and it ain't here 5. You just feel ready to leave
I feel that my time working with children is ending. I’m not happy and have lost my passion for working with kids. It’s only been around 2 years but this industry is not expanding my skills anymore and I feel bored just trying to keep kids entertained.
I loved your comment: if I am not happy with the work I do, then I am not happy. Period. Totally me. Tomorrow i start a new job. Such peace of mind I have.
Jorge Suárezvelandia having difficulty dealing with the feeling of starting over. I drive 60 miles a day and it takes a toll on my body and personal life, but it’s what I’m used to 😔
When some people around me at my office disrespect my value and blindly don't appreciate my work and skills, it's time to quit. It's not the job that i hate, but the people i work with...
When you’re working with other women who are competitive and manipulative.... when you do your very best but you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.... just get out and find something worth your time and energy.
I agree. Leaving a job often frees up your time to look for other work or earn another certification. This is especially true if you work long hours or have a long commute.
but it is a risk because we don't know how long we can get another job..only if you have saving that enough for 6 months or 1 year then you can quit and focus in finding a new job
When your boss no longer respects you, or your accomplishments, Talks behind your back etc... I'm putting in my resignation hopefully by the end of the week. Think my plan B (at the competitors) is just about lined up and I can hardly wait to start a new chapter.
@@Fordriasdance Well, a year later I'm at my new current job. They say the grass isn't always greener on the other side. But for me, I can happily say yes it is!! My stress level is down an incredible amount. Good luck to you in all your endeavors.
I’m tired of living paycheck to paycheck it’s time for me to goooo. I feel so sick when I’m at work. The company always have so many new rules for such a low paying job.
Or when your employer(s) start treating you like you don’t do anything useful all the while that you are running their business for them. And/or when they start making false accusations against you because you didn’t get the hint to leave when they acted like you didn’t do anything useful for them. Walk away and try not to gloat when their business, that they have zero experience running, goes down the drain without you. Yeah...it sucks not having the income, but nowhere near as much as it sucks working for crappy people who cannot appreciate the employee that was there when they bought the business.
Thanks Linda for helping me realize it was time for me to leave, even though I am considered a good employee, now I am at job I'm happy with getting recognized and receiving awards at my current employer.
-Your boss makes no bones about how “replaceable” you and other employees are. -Your boss is cheap, limiting your resources and/or salaries yet keeping their own pricey overhead -You have to pick up ANY slack, and frequently -You find excuses not to go in to work -Your concerns, ideas, suggestions, skills, qualifications, and accomplishments are trivialized/ignored
For me it was workplace violence, by a new manager and then a new supervisor. Both had extreme hatred toward me especially the newly appointed supervisor and both from what I hear are still there. Strangely though there seems to be high turnover now at that place and I'm glad I no longer work there. I moved into another job and even worse people were there so I promptly left that one too. Shortly after I left that one two managers were fired, I think over my leaving (there seemed to be an in depth investigation) and then about 2 years later the associate director of HR resigned, I think she saw what I saw and left too, too many narcissists and just plain crazy people out there and it can't be fixed. Many people in positions of power and authority are grossly unqualified and do not should not be in those positions. Directors beware, do not appoint arrogant sociopaths and psychopaths to positions where they have power over others, it will end in disaster and you yourself may well end up losing your own job. It's gonna be tough going finding another one too especially as the economy is starting to tank.
I have the same experience. The problem was when they did not believe you that that person is a narcissist/sociopath and you were made to be the bad person.
I've been working on my first job after graduation for about 5 months. I'm consistently underperformed in every area of my job scope. I tried hard to improve the circumstances and my leader had been helpful all the time, though the improvement is minimal if not stagnant. Reasons could be lack of competency and personality unfit. Burnout, anxiety and depression haunt me for months. I feel suffocated.
This is so relatable. This is my first job after graduation, I’m in my fourth month, and I’m seriously thinking of quitting. I can do this job well but I cannot handle so many things and people at once. I feel like I’ve reached my breaking point and even my manager admits that I shouldn’t be alone in this…
@@yenningchua9607 Just to let you know, I did not give up nor quit the job, and managed to become one of the top performer. It's been more than 2 years, and I'm moving on to my 2nd job in a couple of months, which certainly look promising. Reach out and seek help. Be sure to have your ways to release stress. It's okay to take a break. Set goals with timelines, and different approaches to achieving it. Work hard on it, but don't forget to take care of health and relationship. There will be times that you feel down and defeated, but also times that you can see your growth and achievements. Quitting your current job is one of the solutions. It takes huge courage, but don't let it admit your failure and hinder you to move forward. So long this decision will benefit your mental health and aligns with your long term financial/career goals. All the best, I pray the best for you.
@@spicysourchicken7181 I’m happy for you and thank you so much for your advice 🙏 All the best to you as well and I hope your 2nd job will be better for you overall :) Keep up the good work, but don’t forget to take care of your health 🙏
Just FINALLY quit my work as a healer and life coach that I have been doing for 20 years. Looking back, I realize I have been unhappy and unfulfilled in it for about 8 years. It was SO hard to let go of because I was over-identified with it being my "soul work and purpose." Nope. My purpose is to take care of myself and quit anything that keeps me sick and unhappy.
The drain part is what’s killing me. I’m assigned a technical leadership position but the boss is just so micromanaging that the leadership position is pretty much useless. I’m very good at driving my self and replenishing every week but he is really good at killing any motivation and bring you back top point zero. At this point I’m just building the momentum to head out. Some leaders are just not good at leading. Watch out for these types otherwise you will end up with a bad mood and a bad health
Weird right? My manager is the same. If he let me do my thing and encouraged me every once in a while I'd do a lot for the company. I'd be so motivated. Instead he throws all the tasks at me that he thinks others can't do and pressures me to do even more and faster. Absurdly because he thinks I am already fast I have to do even more with no reward at all.
femaleforester sounds like me! I only work 8 days so far and I already want to leave because the employer expected so much of me just the second day in there when I literally told her I have no experience so I need guidance and time to learn about this job. No she wants me to work faster and know what to do on my own already on my second and third days!! I already made it to the eight days but I’m ready to get out as I found a new place though it’s volunteer and unpaid, the owner of the store is nice and patience with teaching me. She’s willing to allow me to challenge myself and support and guide me if I decide to take on a new challenge at work. She’s always at the store so she’s willing to help answer questions and teach me! I like better than the pay job I have now which only pay me $10/hr but gives me so much headache. I feel pressured and unmotivated and unhappy to go to work! Always fear of what the employer will say to me!! I need to leave even if it’s only 8 days of work, I cannot stick it out any longer!! She’s too much for me and it’s not like I needed the money!! I just want a boss who’s understanding and willing to teach and guide me on the job so I can grow and gain the experience I needed to be better and improve my skills but she doesn’t. The third rule she said if you’re only there for a couple months try to stick longer but with this job I have, I cannot any longer because it makes me unhappy and stress even not at work!! Makes me have nightmares and I’ve been waking up at night a couple of times because of the anxiety and fear I have toward this job!!! I need to leave now!!!
Before quitting your job, find your passion. Imagine what your typical day would be like five years from now. When you find your passion get a job related to that passion. Eg, if you are a programmer but you always wanted to be an writer, write a lot. Prepare yourself. Then ultimately quit when you find a writing job.
My advice to anyone contemplating leaving their job is as follows when your “done“ it’s time to go! At my previous job I went through all sorts of emotions from pigeonholed, sadness, despair, anger, emptiness, boredom, destitute, misery, etc., etc., etc. Then one day I woke up and just said to myself “I’m done with this place“ and began my exit. Two months later I left that place and started working a job where things were MUCH better for me! I’m happier, full of life, there’s opportunities for me for advancement and I look forward to going to work now. So remember, you may go through several emotions if your job is not doing you right and you feel like there is no opportunities there but when you’re done, you’re done! That is when it’s time to leave.
That’s what I did. One night I said I done with that job cuz of bad managers. So I text my Gm, who never answers my text unless she want to and that a blue moon, and she reply faster than ever as in what happen? Didn’t give my two week either and I highly recommend y’all don’t either
When I’m currently working I have only had 1 coaching from my boss and it was an interaction with HR. He was requesting for me to do all my tasks faster so he can load more tasks into my list. That’s the only interaction and feedback I’ve had so far. Feeling dread every morning to know you have to work in a place you don’t like is awful, even worse when you start to get sick from stress.
well not easy to quit a job why because of economic hardtime,and you just college level, even thou the pay is low you have to stay because if you resign its hard to find job,not everybody is gifted,intelligent have a good school background.
Love sign #1... I'm a believer in continuously learning! There's so much experience and knowledge we can acquire in the professional world. This is a great video with some clear and helpful guidelines. Cheers!
During the pandemic, it’s a luxury to feel this way. I was demoted to an entry level position because of business needs changing due to the pandemic and I feel like I have stepped back 8 years in my career. I want to leave and everyday is agonizing, but am having trouble transitioning into a new job. Being unemployed is scary at this point with all the uncertainty.
I understand that, we are understaffed and overworked for less money than we deserve. We are micro managed. They take away our paid holidays. We get 5 days of paid leave that includes sick time. It sucks. But I can't leave bc the job market isn't good right now and I need to pay my bills.
@@shelby8474 Though the market is tough, it does have opportunities if you reach out to your network. Identify folks that you may know at companies that you see yourself wanting to work at. Learn from your professional network at these places whether it’s worth the move. There are opportunities and sometimes they just need to be found. Wishing best of luck as I know the feeling and made the change.
@@shelby8474 hold up they can't do that..depending on your state some have actually increased paid sick time. For example in NY state actually mandate 56 hours of paid sick time an increase from 40 hours. So really look into that and know your rights otherwise they can try take advantage and they may not be HR compliant.
there never seems to be a perfect/safe time to do anything. anywhere we go will have problems, mistakes, difficult people and exceptions to what we learned.
01:13 - You’re not learning anything new. 02:12 - You regularly feel drained. 03:27 - You’ve been in this job for a good amount of time. 05:05 - You know what your next job looks like and it ain’t here. 06:43 - You just feel ready to leave.
let's face it. the fact we're even watching this already means we know our job isn't for us. i damn well know mine isn't, from the first day i KNEW it wasn't. i'm just scared. for a number of things. first of all i got in with the owner of the place backing me up. i feel like it would be such a waste of her time, she has done a lot for me to get in only for me to want to back out so fast. i planned to get at least three months in but i don't think i will be able to handle it. also my mom has rooted for me so hard, plus she covered most of the costs of my requirements. i wouldn't want to waste her effort. but i REALLY know i am not for this job. i mean in everything we get into, we'd know from the start, we get that feeling and we'd know whether it's right for us or not. i know my strengths. sure, i can handle all the hard work and fast paced environments but doesn't mean i enjoy nor want to keep doing it. my strength lies with creativity, critical thinking, and literature. it is definitely because of that that when i come home from work i feel so drained and relieved that i have gotten out. even before work, i dread having to come. i have strengths that i can never put to use. i can not excel or put my best foot forward because i can't express or show my true potential. all work is exhausting but i truly believe that with the right job, the tiredness is paired with fulfilment, because though you have exerted yourself, you have been able to use your talent and skills. i also thin like i'm always on thin ice with everyone. i'm the only new hire and i feel like a burden. the supposed seniors who should know better are the ones who pressure me the most. they say to ask but get mad when i do. i do not know where i stand. everyone tells me i have improved and learned the fastest and even i know but not even that makes me happy. it just makes me scared because they would expect more from me. i just get scared of what i do NOT know. every time i get home i vent to my friends about all the things that sucked at work, not the many things i have done right. i am not a negative person, quite the contrary. i love living, but not for right now. when i think of the near future even, i see myself quitting. i can't even call my rest days, "rest days" because all i think about is how i have to work again tomorrow and all that. i currently work in fast food service. i CAN handle it but it doesn't fulfill me. some of my seniors have been there for decades, but every second i have to work there makes me want to cry. i know all work environments have a certain toxicity, but i KNOW that with a job that is for me, i wouldn't be too fazed as i am just doing what i do.
It’s time to leave your job when the people on FMLA are treated 100 times better than you, despite the fact you actually show up to work every day and the FMLA people don’t. When the company makes you do 2 to 3 times more work than everyone else… A.k.a. you get punished for doing a good job. When you’re expected to pick up the slack every single day for FMLA people who call off… This is when you know it’s time to quit. I will never ever ever let myself be abused by an employer like this ever again, and you shouldn’t either
Thanks for sharing this video. This is so relatable. I too resigned during my probation period. I was working in my previous company for about 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, 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, career goals, skill sets, strengths and weaknesses better before I pursue Or take up any job offer.
Worked at my latest job for three months. They treat everyone like garbage, and are both physically and verbally abusive to employees. The president of the company punched a man in the side for getting an “attitude” with her. I can’t do this to myself anymore
I been working at a call center environment over 4 years and I finally got so burnt out that i knew in my head that i wouldn't get that same pay and benefits based on my skill set elsewhere so i tried committing suicide, i started to take heavy drugs and my mind was so dark people knew i changed so i walked away and i couldn't land a job and almost became homeless.. life can be miserable sometimes anyways if a job stressing you out leave no matter what. thanks for everything ☺
I can't give you a thumbs up...you should get medical help to treat your suicidal ideations...I'm not a doctor but I know drugs numb your emotions and confuse you...you are an adult, take care of yourself and love yourself...you sound like you need help...write me if you need help...I have worked with people in tough situatons
Im praying for you. God has a plan for you. One of the best pieces of advice I ever heard was, “don’t make a permanent decisions based on temporary feelings”. You might feel discouraged and in distress at a job but jobs are so very temporary. Your life is so precious and Jesus Christ thought you were to die for! That’s how important you are in this life. He loves you so much. Don’t let anyone or anything make you feel otherwise. It will get better trust me, no matter how dark things look now. God has an incredible plan for you. All you have to do is ask Jesus to come into your life to help you and He will be there! God bless 💜
This kind of goes along with the feeling drained but I've come to a point in my life where I wake up/or go to bed praying, "Please God. Let something exciting happen today/tomorrow. Please let something good happen at work. I don't want to live the rest of my life hating it. I want to be able to live enjoying my life. Or find something enjoyable during the hard times."
Yes I'm a "job hopper" not because I want to be! I would love to find a job I'm happy with and don't mind staying at for several years. But all of the jobs I have had just make me miserable! I can only take being miserable for so long.. I put in my two weeks today at my current job bc the stress and anxiety has just gotten too much for me. I even developed a drinking problem to cope with the stress... idk if anyone's gonna read this but please just pray for me or send good vibes. Life is hard 😩
You need to do some soul searching to find out what makes you happy then pursue that. You obviously picked the wrong profession, it’s rare that you’ll find a job that is perfect but life is short so why continue working in riles that give you no enjoyment, if a role is causing you to drink to endure it that us a major problem. Life is very hard but we live in a country where there is countless opportunity.
pusc1fer only you know that you feel that way...and you can harness your emotions and make it better at least for the timebeing before you change jobs!
I quit one of my corporate jobs because it was like a sweat shop with Burger King managers.I learned a lot, but there was no job security and people were poisonous, could n’t trust anybody and violated most of the polices.
Sign number 1 isn’t a problem but everything else is on point for me. I've been dreading Monday ever since I've logged out Friday. Giving it shot to change departments but its the only thing keeping me at my current company.
Taking the leap of faith and leaving your job will light a fire under your butt and getting your taking any needed action to make it work. I would definitely recommend saving 6 months living expenses and investing a in a coach before you make the jump into entrepreneurship.
This is my second job and I love it! I'm so glad that I made my decision about quitting my previous job. Even if there's boring days in this one I can't compare them to my old job not even 1%. It's more official, I know exactly when is my off day, there's always tasks to do and I'm always moving a lot, my co workers are nice to me even the salary is decent enough. Please I'm telling you don't force yourself! There's always a million opportunities right there
When I got out of high school I went into military. Afterwards I became a firefighter/medic. Due to the the city I worked for reducing us to part time and contracting a private ambulance I switched to the Sheriff's department. Been with the Sheriff's department for 14 years now and I'm miserable. I want to quit, move and learn something new.
O yes it's Sunday and I dread going to work, one of the co-workers is harsh (she actually said that, she knows shes harsh and says she will not change for anyone), when you confront her on how her behavior is affecting you she turns the tables... she even last week mocked me for feeling anxious, telling me to stop feeling that way... feeling disrespected makes me and most angry. It is emotional abuse however I have worked in many places where this is present. It makes me so sick.
I got a new job (only for a couple of months), and I am very deemed to quit and even about to resign first thing in the morning. Why? Every single day I am not respected by my supervisors, constantly getting words that makes you feel very inferior, you can't really asked questions to them because they will say to you that I suppose to know it already. Given that I am a type of person that is very independent, the last resort I'll do is to ask. Every mistake that I'll do it is also taken against me, I really felt alone and not appreciated. Because of the constant pressures and fear of having another words thrown at me the quality of my score plumetted making me a "bulls eye" for my supervisor. A week. Of. Pure. Stress. And. harsh. Words. Thrown. At. Me. That feeling of being anxious amd your nervous each time you'll receive notifications on your computer is already unhealthy and I stop asking people for help even though i am outside of work because I have this thinking that they might be angry if I ask questions. If you feel this too, just Leave. This is not the ideal employer you should be working for. They dont have any right to make you feel inferior or unappreciated in any way possbile. They do not hold your life amd they can never control you. You are FREE. Leave.
Oh dear, we're exactly in the same situation. I just couldn't leave right away because I have a kid going to college right now, but planning to quit is not far from my mind and so now I have started my Plan B. Good luck to us and Im here if you need someone to talk to.
What about if you have been in a company for 6months but you've seen the same signs you've experienced before where you know your not getting the opportunity to progress?
I meet all 5 reasons but nothing better to leave to....I am 5 years in and vested, get 5 weeks time off per year 7% 401k match....It's worth the misery as long as I don't die from the stress of the job.
Wow! After looking out for others and myself I quite a unsafe potentially dangerous team not primary job related with the state when lay offs came after 23yrs retaliation happened.... I got rehired after 3wks back at a different job within the state and told I wouldn’t make probation if I didn’t go back on the team. I said not unless we train more!!! Management said no so I said no...they said good luck making probation. So sadly I went back against my gut feeling. 19mos later I got severely injured needing surgery and 10 days after surgery nearly died from blood clots☹️all doctors and nurses said with 3 clots I should have died. Worker’s compensation. The few dollars not with the scars! Now at 55 and 33yrs with the state I can retire but need a full time job. Sorry small pity party. Thank you and good luck👍🏻🇺🇸

Well save 6 months of income and quit take 2 week vacation before applying elsewhere. That’s what I intend in doing anyway. If you aren’t happy move on.
I've been at a call center for a year and a half. It's become easy and it's in the health field, but opportunities for more senior roles are unclear. The hours are stable but the pay is relatively low (compared to similar roles). I feel like I could be making more but I would have to risk the stability of my current role.
I’ve been struggling to leave my job. I accidentally took a dead end copier sales job and have stuck it out for almost a year. Recently I’ve been wanting to leave my jobs pretty quickly each time. I found Sales is not right for me and want to explore other careers more geared towards my strengths like a business analyst. I need to learn more to get some training and try to get experience, but I feel that would be a better fit. My job now is draining and depressing. Every day takes away more self esteem and I feel like a loser. I don’t have another job lined up but I have saved enough where I don’t have to work right away. Do you think I can reasonably quit in a couple more months even if I don’t have another job lined up and want to change roles?
Do what you love and love what you do! I had to resign due to health problems and a hostile and toxic work environment from a so-called really good company. This video hits the nail on the head and it's just been eating at me for weeks I mean especially if it's hurting me physically and emotionally nothing is worth that type of pain and duress. Sometimes you just got to pull your socks up straighten your head eyes forward shoulders back and stand up for yourself don't take workplace abuse ever, and if anyone ever makes sexual innuendos or jokes don't laugh try to remind yourself this because of nervous laugh to them to those who violate will consider it compliance when in reality you're thinking to yourself what the heck did he just say to me? I won't mention what was said but yeah this goes for anyone any gender any job anywhere really any situation even outside of work.
HOW DO I QUIT... I don't know why it's so uncomfortable for me to leave... I have a new job offer at a company I applied to pre covid-19 and they froze hiring due to COVID. So I took my current job. I applied to the company again and got an offer again. My manager is an extreme micromanager and it's really stressing me out on how to tell her I'm leaving.
For me: 1. I am not learning anything new BUT.. 2. I love my job 3. I have been in this job for a good amount of time so I'm thinking of leaving, but I don't know what my next step is :(
Yeah, I am the one that move into another job and just found out that job less challenge and more junior position than previous one. Now everyday feeling like in hell. No learning new things and having more toxic environment. I need to run towards better opportunity in my next job even during this critical pandemic.
Learning constantly every second of 8hrs is mentally draining. Im in this position. I want out! Im going crazy. I am mentally exhausted and physically my body is suffering. I want to quit right now. I just dnt have enough saved for bills. That’s what is holding me back but my mental and physical health is suffering. I can’t take it anymore. No family member is willing to help me. Im crying everyday coz of my situation.
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they got a degree in the wrong field? I realized that the reason why I’m so unhappy with each job I’ve had since I graduated from college is partly because I’m in the wrong career field. Now, I feel kind of lost and hopeless. 😕
Hi Linda, Ive been an avid follower since i stumbled on one of your videos. I do have a question am quite sure i get a light from you on this. When should an employee get a rise normally in a managerial position? I hope to hear from you soon.

Every day your sick to your stomach knowing you have to return to your place of employment. I stayed too long. One day I got up from my desk and left for good. I am now unemployed but feel so much better. When I do return to work I will quit if it is in an unhealthy environment. The money is not worth the misery of being packed in like cattle.
Amen, your sanity and peace of mind are so much more important. Freedom is priceless
I mean sounds understandable, but how do you maintain yourself after quitting and being unemployed? (don't answer), that Sounds rough, unless you won the lottery.
I'm thinking of quitting Monday. 😮

scan1982 how do you put food on the table for your kids!? I have tens of thousands in savings that I could potentially use, but I wouldn’t want to.
I knew I had to leave my last job for two reasons: 1. I dreaded going to work each morning. 2. Everytime I came home, I always nagged to my wife about the day.
1. You're not learning anything new
2. You regularly feel drained
3. You've been in this job for a good couple of time
4. You know what your next job looks like and it ain't here
5. You just feel ready to leave
I tick it all
Feeling 1, 2, 4, 5 is good enough to agree being in this role for 10months is a solid 3. Time to go!
Christine Peñacerrada 6 you get a shot load of money 💰 for a new position.
#1 & 2 very applicable throughout my work history. Most work environments are toxic places destructive of your spirit.
I feel that my time working with children is ending. I’m not happy and have lost my passion for working with kids. It’s only been around 2 years but this industry is not expanding my skills anymore and I feel bored just trying to keep kids entertained.
I loved your comment: if I am not happy with the work I do, then I am not happy. Period. Totally me. Tomorrow i start a new job. Such peace of mind I have.
Jorge Suárezvelandia having difficulty dealing with the feeling of starting over. I drive 60 miles a day and it takes a toll on my body and personal life, but it’s what I’m used to 😔
When some people around me at my office disrespect my value and blindly don't appreciate my work and skills, it's time to quit. It's not the job that i hate, but the people i work with...
Exactly well said.
Yesss this is what I was saying lol
I agree well said 👏
Tough one
Toxic People ruin great jobs
When you’re working with other women who are competitive and manipulative.... when you do your very best but you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.... just get out and find something worth your time and energy.
I so feel you💛
I definitely understand
That’s what’s happening to me and we have a co worker that won’t let people do overtime 😂😂
Out of curiosity, is it typically a challenge for you as a woman to work with other women? If so why?
In this kind of group, there is always this one B who is the biggest snitch
Actually, it's okay to run away from a position. You don't need to stay until securing another job. It's not always a bad move.
I agree. Leaving a job often frees up your time to look for other work or earn another certification. This is especially true if you work long hours or have a long commute.
but it is a risk because we don't know how long we can get another job..only if you have saving that enough for 6 months or 1 year then you can quit and focus in finding a new job
When your boss no longer respects you, or your accomplishments, Talks behind your back etc... I'm putting in my resignation hopefully by the end of the week. Think my plan B (at the competitors) is just about lined up and I can hardly wait to start a new chapter.
My current situation. Now attacks at my character and they dont know me outside of work.
@@Fordriasdance Well, a year later I'm at my new current job. They say the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
But for me, I can happily say yes it is!! My stress level is down an incredible amount. Good luck to you in all your endeavors.

Yup!
This is why I want to leave. I can definitely feel a new season. It's the for me to work for myself
I’m tired of living paycheck to paycheck it’s time for me to goooo. I feel so sick when I’m at work. The company always have so many new rules for such a low paying job.

Or when your employer(s) start treating you like you don’t do anything useful all the while that you are running their business for them. And/or when they start making false accusations against you because you didn’t get the hint to leave when they acted like you didn’t do anything useful for them. Walk away and try not to gloat when their business, that they have zero experience running, goes down the drain without you. Yeah...it sucks not having the income, but nowhere near as much as it sucks working for crappy people who cannot appreciate the employee that was there when they bought the business.
Thanks Linda for helping me realize it was time for me to leave, even though I am considered a good employee, now I am at job I'm happy with getting recognized and receiving awards at my current employer.
-Your boss makes no bones about how “replaceable” you and other employees are.
-Your boss is cheap, limiting your resources and/or salaries yet keeping their own pricey overhead
-You have to pick up ANY slack, and frequently
-You find excuses not to go in to work
-Your concerns, ideas, suggestions, skills, qualifications, and accomplishments are trivialized/ignored
For me it was workplace violence, by a new manager and then a new supervisor. Both had extreme hatred toward me especially the newly appointed supervisor and both from what I hear are still there. Strangely though there seems to be high turnover now at that place and I'm glad I no longer work there. I moved into another job and even worse people were there so I promptly left that one too. Shortly after I left that one two managers were fired, I think over my leaving (there seemed to be an in depth investigation) and then about 2 years later the associate director of HR resigned, I think she saw what I saw and left too, too many narcissists and just plain crazy people out there and it can't be fixed. Many people in positions of power and authority are grossly unqualified and do not should not be in those positions. Directors beware, do not appoint arrogant sociopaths and psychopaths to positions where they have power over others, it will end in disaster and you yourself may well end up losing your own job. It's gonna be tough going finding another one too especially as the economy is starting to tank.
I have the same experience. The problem was when they did not believe you that that person is a narcissist/sociopath and you were made to be the bad person.
I've been working on my first job after graduation for about 5 months. I'm consistently underperformed in every area of my job scope. I tried hard to improve the circumstances and my leader had been helpful all the time, though the improvement is minimal if not stagnant. Reasons could be lack of competency and personality unfit. Burnout, anxiety and depression haunt me for months. I feel suffocated.
Spicy Sour Chicken - hi, how are you doing now?
This is so relatable. This is my first job after graduation, I’m in my fourth month, and I’m seriously thinking of quitting. I can do this job well but I cannot handle so many things and people at once. I feel like I’ve reached my breaking point and even my manager admits that I shouldn’t be alone in this…
@@yenningchua9607 Just to let you know, I did not give up nor quit the job, and managed to become one of the top performer. It's been more than 2 years, and I'm moving on to my 2nd job in a couple of months, which certainly look promising.
Reach out and seek help. Be sure to have your ways to release stress. It's okay to take a break. Set goals with timelines, and different approaches to achieving it. Work hard on it, but don't forget to take care of health and relationship. There will be times that you feel down and defeated, but also times that you can see your growth and achievements.
Quitting your current job is one of the solutions. It takes huge courage, but don't let it admit your failure and hinder you to move forward. So long this decision will benefit your mental health and aligns with your long term financial/career goals. All the best, I pray the best for you.
@@spicysourchicken7181 I’m happy for you and thank you so much for your advice 🙏
All the best to you as well and I hope your 2nd job will be better for you overall :) Keep up the good work, but don’t forget to take care of your health 🙏
@@spicysourchicken7181 how did you resign? I mean what did you put as a reason? Or did you tell them that you have found a better opportunity?
Just FINALLY quit my work as a healer and life coach that I have been doing for 20 years. Looking back, I realize I have been unhappy and unfulfilled in it for about 8 years. It was SO hard to let go of because I was over-identified with it being my "soul work and purpose." Nope. My purpose is to take care of myself and quit anything that keeps me sick and unhappy.
To many hats too little pay.
When you start calling out often and for many years that has never been your pattern...it’s time to go.
The drain part is what’s killing me. I’m assigned a technical leadership position but the boss is just so micromanaging that the leadership position is pretty much useless. I’m very good at driving my self and replenishing every week but he is really good at killing any motivation and bring you back top point zero. At this point I’m just building the momentum to head out. Some leaders are just not good at leading. Watch out for these types otherwise you will end up with a bad mood and a bad health
Weird right? My manager is the same. If he let me do my thing and encouraged me every once in a while I'd do a lot for the company. I'd be so motivated. Instead he throws all the tasks at me that he thinks others can't do and pressures me to do even more and faster. Absurdly because he thinks I am already fast I have to do even more with no reward at all.
femaleforester sounds like me! I only work 8 days so far and I already want to leave because the employer expected so much of me just the second day in there when I literally told her I have no experience so I need guidance and time to learn about this job. No she wants me to work faster and know what to do on my own already on my second and third days!! I already made it to the eight days but I’m ready to get out as I found a new place though it’s volunteer and unpaid, the owner of the store is nice and patience with teaching me. She’s willing to allow me to challenge myself and support and guide me if I decide to take on a new challenge at work. She’s always at the store so she’s willing to help answer questions and teach me! I like better than the pay job I have now which only pay me $10/hr but gives me so much headache. I feel pressured and unmotivated and unhappy to go to work! Always fear of what the employer will say to me!! I need to leave even if it’s only 8 days of work, I cannot stick it out any longer!! She’s too much for me and it’s not like I needed the money!! I just want a boss who’s understanding and willing to teach and guide me on the job so I can grow and gain the experience I needed to be better and improve my skills but she doesn’t. The third rule she said if you’re only there for a couple months try to stick longer but with this job I have, I cannot any longer because it makes me unhappy and stress even not at work!! Makes me have nightmares and I’ve been waking up at night a couple of times because of the anxiety and fear I have toward this job!!! I need to leave now!!!
Micromanaging is one of the top red flags of a narcissist/sociopathic manager.
Man i work as a Technical Officer Quality Department and this hits home for me... Its like i am living your life word by word
Before quitting your job, find your passion. Imagine what your typical day would be like five years from now. When you find your passion get a job related to that passion. Eg, if you are a programmer but you always wanted to be an writer, write a lot. Prepare yourself. Then ultimately quit when you find a writing job.
This comment makes a lot of sense. Thank you for this! 💜
Thanks!❤
My advice to anyone contemplating leaving their job is as follows when your “done“ it’s time to go! At my previous job I went through all sorts of emotions from pigeonholed, sadness, despair, anger, emptiness, boredom, destitute, misery, etc., etc., etc. Then one day I woke up and just said to myself “I’m done with this place“ and began my exit. Two months later I left that place and started working a job where things were MUCH better for me! I’m happier, full of life, there’s opportunities for me for advancement and I look forward to going to work now.
So remember, you may go through several emotions if your job is not doing you right and you feel like there is no opportunities there but when you’re done, you’re done! That is when it’s time to leave.
Yes, so many emotions! Glad it is not just me feeling those. It's time! Thank you.
Love it
That’s what I did. One night I said I done with that job cuz of bad managers. So I text my Gm, who never answers my text unless she want to and that a blue moon, and she reply faster than ever as in what happen? Didn’t give my two week either and I highly recommend y’all don’t either
When I’m currently working I have only had 1 coaching from my boss and it was an interaction with HR. He was requesting for me to do all my tasks faster so he can load more tasks into my list. That’s the only interaction and feedback I’ve had so far. Feeling dread every morning to know you have to work in a place you don’t like is awful, even worse when you start to get sick from stress.
Whenever I feel like finding a new job I always turn to Linda.
well not easy to quit a job why because of economic hardtime,and you just college level, even thou the pay is low you have to stay because if you resign its hard to find job,not everybody is gifted,intelligent have a good school background.
I've been changing position and job few times and all 5 reasons explained here are valid at least for me 🙏😇
Love sign #1... I'm a believer in continuously learning! There's so much experience and knowledge we can acquire in the professional world. This is a great video with some clear and helpful guidelines. Cheers!
Me too! I cannot stand being bored at work
During the pandemic, it’s a luxury to feel this way. I was demoted to an entry level position because of business needs changing due to the pandemic and I feel like I have stepped back 8 years in my career. I want to leave and everyday is agonizing, but am having trouble transitioning into a new job. Being unemployed is scary at this point with all the uncertainty.
I understand that, we are understaffed and overworked for less money than we deserve. We are micro managed. They take away our paid holidays. We get 5 days of paid leave that includes sick time. It sucks. But I can't leave bc the job market isn't good right now and I need to pay my bills.
@@shelby8474 Though the market is tough, it does have opportunities if you reach out to your network. Identify folks that you may know at companies that you see yourself wanting to work at. Learn from your professional network at these places whether it’s worth the move. There are opportunities and sometimes they just need to be found. Wishing best of luck as I know the feeling and made the change.
@@shelby8474 hold up they can't do that..depending on your state some have actually increased paid sick time. For example in NY state actually mandate 56 hours of paid sick time an increase from 40 hours. So really look into that and know your rights otherwise they can try take advantage and they may not be HR compliant.
there never seems to be a perfect/safe time to do anything. anywhere we go will have problems, mistakes, difficult people and exceptions to what we learned.
01:13 - You’re not learning anything new.
02:12 - You regularly feel drained.
03:27 - You’ve been in this job for a good amount of time.
05:05 - You know what your next job looks like and it ain’t here.
06:43 - You just feel ready to leave.
Much appreciated this!!!

I've always wanted a subway franchise
Yes!
Heyy
Yes
let's face it. the fact we're even watching this already means we know our job isn't for us. i damn well know mine isn't, from the first day i KNEW it wasn't. i'm just scared. for a number of things.
first of all i got in with the owner of the place backing me up. i feel like it would be such a waste of her time, she has done a lot for me to get in only for me to want to back out so fast. i planned to get at least three months in but i don't think i will be able to handle it.
also my mom has rooted for me so hard, plus she covered most of the costs of my requirements. i wouldn't want to waste her effort.
but i REALLY know i am not for this job. i mean in everything we get into, we'd know from the start, we get that feeling and we'd know whether it's right for us or not. i know my strengths. sure, i can handle all the hard work and fast paced environments but doesn't mean i enjoy nor want to keep doing it. my strength lies with creativity, critical thinking, and literature. it is definitely because of that that when i come home from work i feel so drained and relieved that i have gotten out. even before work, i dread having to come. i have strengths that i can never put to use. i can not excel or put my best foot forward because i can't express or show my true potential. all work is exhausting but i truly believe that with the right job, the tiredness is paired with fulfilment, because though you have exerted yourself, you have been able to use your talent and skills.
i also thin like i'm always on thin ice with everyone. i'm the only new hire and i feel like a burden. the supposed seniors who should know better are the ones who pressure me the most. they say to ask but get mad when i do. i do not know where i stand.
everyone tells me i have improved and learned the fastest and even i know but not even that makes me happy. it just makes me scared because they would expect more from me. i just get scared of what i do NOT know.
every time i get home i vent to my friends about all the things that sucked at work, not the many things i have done right. i am not a negative person, quite the contrary. i love living, but not for right now. when i think of the near future even, i see myself quitting. i can't even call my rest days, "rest days" because all i think about is how i have to work again tomorrow and all that.
i currently work in fast food service. i CAN handle it but it doesn't fulfill me. some of my seniors have been there for decades, but every second i have to work there makes me want to cry. i know all work environments have a certain toxicity, but i KNOW that with a job that is for me, i wouldn't be too fazed as i am just doing what i do.
It’s time to leave your job when the people on FMLA are treated 100 times better than you, despite the fact you actually show up to work every day and the FMLA people don’t. When the company makes you do 2 to 3 times more work than everyone else… A.k.a. you get punished for doing a good job. When you’re expected to pick up the slack every single day for FMLA people who call off… This is when you know it’s time to quit. I will never ever ever let myself be abused by an employer like this ever again, and you shouldn’t either
I 100% agree with this
I have 4 people doing just that at my employer! Been here for six years...ugh, I need to go!

Great video. I gotta leave my day job. It's dead end. Made it to the highest achievable without a college degree. Pay is low.
Thanks for sharing this video. This is so relatable. I too resigned during my probation period. I was working in my previous company for about 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, 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, career goals, skill sets, strengths and weaknesses better before I pursue Or take up any job offer.
Great information for those looking to quit their job.
Worked at my latest job for three months. They treat everyone like garbage, and are both physically and verbally abusive to employees. The president of the company punched a man in the side for getting an “attitude” with her. I can’t do this to myself anymore
wtf thats assult isnt it lol what country are you in ?
I got my job with your help. I am you forever grateful.
I been working at a call center environment over 4 years and I finally got so burnt out that i knew in my head that i wouldn't get that same pay and benefits based on my skill set elsewhere so i tried committing suicide, i started to take heavy drugs and my mind was so dark people knew i changed so i walked away and i couldn't land a job and almost became homeless.. life can be miserable sometimes anyways if a job stressing you out leave no matter what. thanks for everything ☺
HEDWIG ETCETERA oh man. Glad you’re ok.
How are you doing now, man?
I can't give you a thumbs up...you should get medical help to treat your suicidal ideations...I'm not a doctor but I know drugs numb your emotions and confuse you...you are an adult, take care of yourself and love yourself...you sound like you need help...write me if you need help...I have worked with people in tough situatons
Im praying for you. God has a plan for you. One of the best pieces of advice I ever heard was, “don’t make a permanent decisions based on temporary feelings”. You might feel discouraged and in distress at a job but jobs are so very temporary. Your life is so precious and Jesus Christ thought you were to die for! That’s how important you are in this life. He loves you so much. Don’t let anyone or anything make you feel otherwise. It will get better trust me, no matter how dark things look now. God has an incredible plan for you. All you have to do is ask Jesus to come into your life to help you and He will be there! God bless 💜
Hope you're doing better now ❤
Thank you for posting and this has been way to long of a journey in this 20 year career in the navy. Thank you for posting
This kind of goes along with the feeling drained but I've come to a point in my life where I wake up/or go to bed praying, "Please God. Let something exciting happen today/tomorrow. Please let something good happen at work. I don't want to live the rest of my life hating it. I want to be able to live enjoying my life. Or find something enjoyable during the hard times."
You usually know when you cant sleep in sunday nights

Yes I'm a "job hopper" not because I want to be! I would love to find a job I'm happy with and don't mind staying at for several years. But all of the jobs I have had just make me miserable! I can only take being miserable for so long.. I put in my two weeks today at my current job bc the stress and anxiety has just gotten too much for me. I even developed a drinking problem to cope with the stress... idk if anyone's gonna read this but please just pray for me or send good vibes. Life is hard 😩
I totally feel you.
Sending you love and light ❤❤
You need to do some soul searching to find out what makes you happy then pursue that. You obviously picked the wrong profession, it’s rare that you’ll find a job that is perfect but life is short so why continue working in riles that give you no enjoyment, if a role is causing you to drink to endure it that us a major problem. Life is very hard but we live in a country where there is countless opportunity.
I'm utterly depressed in my job... I'm glad I came across this.

O yes it's Sunday and I dread going to work, one of the co-workers is harsh (she actually said that, she knows shes harsh and says she will not change for anyone), when you confront her on how her behavior is affecting you she turns the tables... she even last week mocked me for feeling anxious, telling me to stop feeling that way... feeling disrespected makes me and most angry. It is emotional abuse however I have worked in many places where this is present. It makes me so sick.
Another narcissistic coworker. These creatures are destroying the workplace.

My current job situation - all thee above! Definitely planning on leaving my current job; thanks for this video!
I got a new job (only for a couple of months), and I am very deemed to quit and even about to resign first thing in the morning. Why?
Every single day I am not respected by my supervisors, constantly getting words that makes you feel very inferior, you can't really asked questions to them because they will say to you that I suppose to know it already. Given that I am a type of person that is very independent, the last resort I'll do is to ask. Every mistake that I'll do it is also taken against me, I really felt alone and not appreciated. Because of the constant pressures and fear of having another words thrown at me the quality of my score plumetted making me a "bulls eye" for my supervisor. A week. Of. Pure. Stress. And. harsh. Words. Thrown. At. Me.
That feeling of being anxious amd your nervous each time you'll receive notifications on your computer is already unhealthy and I stop asking people for help even though i am outside of work because I have this thinking that they might be angry if I ask questions.
If you feel this too, just Leave. This is not the ideal employer you should be working for. They dont have any right to make you feel inferior or unappreciated in any way possbile. They do not hold your life amd they can never control you. You are FREE. Leave.
Oh dear, we're exactly in the same situation. I just couldn't leave right away because I have a kid going to college right now, but planning to quit is not far from my mind and so now I have started my Plan B. Good luck to us and Im here if you need someone to talk to.
@kill death did you end up quitting your job?
I love this video and it only confirmed that my decision to quit my job is right.🙄
Being able to enjoy your job is a luxury that few people in the world are afforded. Very sad, but true.
5 months at my first full-time job and the stress has had negative effects on my physical + mental health. Can’t continue to compromise my well-being.
I hope you're doing great :)
Hey how are you m? I hope you are doing better now
I really appreciate the content shared in this video
What about if you have been in a company for 6months but you've seen the same signs you've experienced before where you know your not getting the opportunity to progress?
I meet all 5 reasons but nothing better to leave to....I am 5 years in and vested, get 5 weeks time off per year 7% 401k match....It's worth the misery as long as I don't die from the stress of the job.
I definitely have problem #2
You may need to consider as well if you are getting right pay.
Wow! After looking out for others and myself I quite a unsafe potentially dangerous team not primary job related with the state when lay offs came after 23yrs retaliation happened.... I got rehired after 3wks back at a different job within the state and told I wouldn’t make probation if I didn’t go back on the team. I said not unless we train more!!! Management said no so I said no...they said good luck making probation. So sadly I went back against my gut feeling. 19mos later I got severely injured needing surgery and 10 days after surgery nearly died from blood clots☹️all doctors and nurses said with 3 clots I should have died. Worker’s compensation. The few dollars not with the scars! Now at 55 and 33yrs with the state I can retire but need a full time job. Sorry small pity party. Thank you and good luck👍🏻🇺🇸

Thank you for this video, it's really, really helpful! So spot on.
Is getting physical and mentally hurt a good reason for leaving ?
I've been at a call center for a year and a half. It's become easy and it's in the health field, but opportunities for more senior roles are unclear. The hours are stable but the pay is relatively low (compared to similar roles). I feel like I could be making more but I would have to risk the stability of my current role.
What if you just hate it?
I've been WAY long past due to quitting my job ever since COVID broke out. Finding jobs has been hard and I haven't had much luck.
I’ve been struggling to leave my job. I accidentally took a dead end copier sales job and have stuck it out for almost a year. Recently I’ve been wanting to leave my jobs pretty quickly each time. I found Sales is not right for me and want to explore other careers more geared towards my strengths like a business analyst. I need to learn more to get some training and try to get experience, but I feel that would be a better fit. My job now is draining and depressing. Every day takes away more self esteem and I feel like a loser. I don’t have another job lined up but I have saved enough where I don’t have to work right away. Do you think I can reasonably quit in a couple more months even if I don’t have another job lined up and want to change roles?
Man, i felt the exact same way. I left immediately and immediately looked into staffing agencies
Celeste Grant I’m doing what your doing.
Do you work for Ricoh? Lol, that company is insane.
Being clear is the most important thing, otherwise we gonna run in circles.
5:57 I wish I watched this video before I changed jobs cause that's the situation I've landed myself in
I hope i can be like you as a good in english communication.... but i loved to listen to all your videos.Godbless
This is a perfect sign ....the moment you see your boss has very poor leadership skills and does not lead by example.
Bye. 😀
My manager demoralizes whenever it's time for promotion and demotives..
Find another good job or better and go.
Do what you love and love what you do! I had to resign due to health problems and a hostile and toxic work environment from a so-called really good company. This video hits the nail on the head and it's just been eating at me for weeks I mean especially if it's hurting me physically and emotionally nothing is worth that type of pain and duress. Sometimes you just got to pull your socks up straighten your head eyes forward shoulders back and stand up for yourself don't take workplace abuse ever, and if anyone ever makes sexual innuendos or jokes don't laugh try to remind yourself this because of nervous laugh to them to those who violate will consider it compliance when in reality you're thinking to yourself what the heck did he just say to me? I won't mention what was said but yeah this goes for anyone any gender any job anywhere really any situation even outside of work.
How about not being able to move up no matter how good you are at you're job my last one did just that to me
Great advice - stunning also
HOW DO I QUIT... I don't know why it's so uncomfortable for me to leave... I have a new job offer at a company I applied to pre covid-19 and they froze hiring due to COVID. So I took my current job. I applied to the company again and got an offer again. My manager is an extreme micromanager and it's really stressing me out on how to tell her I'm leaving.
I have a terrific story that can help as an example, if anyone is interested let me know.
Watching this after i tendered my immediate resignation without a backup plan
For me:
1. I am not learning anything new BUT..
2. I love my job
3. I have been in this job for a good amount of time
so I'm thinking of leaving, but I don't know what my next step is :(
most important thing not addressed, leaving job for the toxicity of a boss or a team
It's been a long time coming. I'm ready to quit my current job. Love the work but the pay sucks.
Yeah, I am the one that move into another job and just found out that job less challenge and more junior position than previous one. Now everyday feeling like in hell. No learning new things and having more toxic environment. I need to run towards better opportunity in my next job even during this critical pandemic.
Great video!
You never mentioned finances. Sometimes you move on because of are better financial opportunities.
Thanks a lot. I guess, I have some research to do :)
Learning constantly every second of 8hrs is mentally draining. Im in this position. I want out! Im going crazy. I am mentally exhausted and physically my body is suffering. I want to quit right now. I just dnt have enough saved for bills. That’s what is holding me back but my mental and physical health is suffering. I can’t take it anymore. No family member is willing to help me. Im crying everyday coz of my situation.
Omg! Same here! It's very stessful.and they expect you to learn things right away as if you're a genius!
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they got a degree in the wrong field? I realized that the reason why I’m so unhappy with each job I’ve had since I graduated from college is partly because I’m in the wrong career field. Now, I feel kind of lost and hopeless. 😕
Hi Linda,
Ive been an avid follower since i stumbled on one of your videos. I do have a question am quite sure i get a light from you on this. When should an employee get a rise normally in a managerial position? I hope to hear from you soon.
