@@jazlyn2159 I'm happy for you. Wts your insta?

Feeling same

I feel this way so much right now I work in a call center and I hate it so much I was thinking about going back to school and pursue something else because this call center environment is not for me

I have been crying for almost a year now in the same industry.

Reyn Nuera are you in the call center environment too?

Ariel Johnson You should! I’ve been going to school full time and I use my leftover school money to pay my bills. I have a 6 year old daughter also. Idk what part of the country you live in but because cost of living where I live isn’t too high I’m able to pay my bills with that money. If you do, just make sure you choose a major that you can make some good money in to pay off student loans. I chose Information Technology. Try to get some scholarships too. Good luck and stay strong! I know how awful it is to dread going to work everyday.

Cindy Singleton I live in America I been looking into going in to the health field and try to do something part tome to pay for school I have never had a job where I hated so much like this one even my off days I dread because I know I have to come back in here this is no way to live

Same here. I feel like I'm losing my mind every single day. How is the situation now?

@@mphorabutla5204 I hate my job but i have go to work full time cus i have to pay the bills. I don't want to end up being homeless and making no money.

This is me every day. All I want is to die. I'm on 3 psychiatric medications, been in therapy for year.... It's my job. I hate my job. I hate office work. It's not worth the money.

Same here, it’s disheartening

@@goodday0013 that's very painful friend , so sorry for your situation.

how did it go ? i wish i had the courage to do it :(

AA it went well, I have 5days left as notice. I wish I can finish now but for the sake of good ref I need to finish on good terms. I never thought I’d say this but I’d rather be broke for a while and be happy while find something else to do. I’m moving back to my parents for a couple of weeks until I can get me another job again. But for now, I just want to look after my mental and physical health. I have to get out while I’m still young and capable of doing more than just being stuck in a environment that drains me. At this point, I’m not afraid to start over again. I would rather do that than dreading going into work every single day and feel so uninspired..

So happy for you 😊👏👏

@@aloha_oe311 how are you doing? Im in the same situation. Although i would like to safe until the end of the year. And also i work for a prestigious company and bla bla.

Joselyn548 I would advised to hold on for now because convid has made it extra difficult to find a job but that doesn’t mean there are no job out there. There’s tons of jobs everyday all you need to do is send your cv to every job you have experience with and ask for full time. While you are still working at your current. But don’t leave without a plan or no saving if you are the bread winner in the fam or have kids I suggest to find a new job before leaving. But for me, I have no kids and I was happy to give up my own flat just so I can start over again and I wasn’t bother by money. I just wanted to leave the toxic environment for the sake of my health. So different situations different way of dealing with. But you still cannot work in a place you’re not happy in, it will take its toll on you one day if you’re super unhappy everyday 🙁. I hope you’re ok.

How are you doing now?

My life atm

Wow I’m so sorry to hear that

@@tiffb1300 I hate that ppl feel this way!

Sorry to hear that happened to you. I experience the same thing at my first job. Co-worker I had constantly micro-managed me, even though my manager had no qualms. My manager said I was doing a fantastic job yet this co-worker kept micromanaging me. I had to tell him to knock it off. Then his friends in the department next to us start giving me jabs at work to rile me up. I quit, I had enough. That was 6 years ago. It was my first job and put a bad taste in my month. I didn't want to return to work since, but financially my back is up against the wall so I'm finally diving back into the workplace to give it a second shot. Wish me luck!

@@bassfan71 good luck! Please keep us posted

Good mental health was more important.

I hope you get your dream job soon!

glad you had the courage to take up the step..

@G.O.A.T The situation I'm in is I hate the job I'm in and I don't want to do it. But the problem is I don't want another job either. If you could tell me I could pick whatever job I wanted and the pay would be $1 million a year whether it's as a CEO or retail worker or anything in between or I can have $100,000 a year for doing nothing, I"d take the doing nothing all day long. I don't want to work. The situation I've tried to resolve this with is through FIRE, just saving up enough money to never work again. I've been saving decently for most of the past decade and got maybe another half of a decade to another full decade to go but it feels like I'm at the foot of Mount Everest. It feels like even if it might only be 5 years from now it might as well be 50 years from now. I go to work in tears as well... working for less money is not an option.

@G.O.A.T I don't want to be my own boss, that sounds like even more work. I'd rather just have enough money invested that I could quit working for myself or for others for good.

Good question! 🤔🤔🤔

Preach my friend!

It’s absolutely sad...

Right but it all started in school they brainwash you into just getting a job. So people rush into getting a job but not following their passion.

The whole systems of things is sort of a problem...

Thats right Sydney!! There's levels to this here!!!

"Stack, save, move on." love this. Writing this down. ✍️🗒️

Girl you are GOALS! I feel trapped in my current job and feel so anxious to exit, God knows I'll crack soon!

They don't bring that up in interviews?

Plus it gives u more experiences!

That part. I’m so sick of feeling trapped

agree

I feel just like this.

I did the same thing same situation same emotions. I’m mad at myself for leaving something that worked for me for more money. It wasn’t worth it

Similar situation. But I felt God tell me to move from the other job. Sometimes in order to grow you must be uncomfortable. What you're going through now might help you tackle a bigger battle in the future. Have faith and keep trusting God.

Its seems the same situation that I was In but I just resigned today. I felt so Dumb whenever I went to Work. It makes them feel that way towards me my co-worker. So I lose my self esteem and confidence to the job that I worked for only 3 months. But i like the jon just don't like the people that I worked with.

So many people in the comments hate their call center jobs. Myself included. 😂

Quick question...how many calls do you take in a day? I’m curious. Thanks in advance.

@@mrsminnamorato I worked at a call center I took about 100 calls a day they fired me on fmla I was sad but a blessing because that job was so stressful my manager used to micromanage me

I’ve been in an exotic trip only to think about my horrible job, so I get what you’re saying.

a good meditation is more relaxing than a good vacation just throwing that out there

Reminds me of the Snl Italy Tour skit. Adam Sandler kept warning the audience if you’re sad now you’ll probably still be sad if you go somewhere else.

Yes I feel like another person. Just too tired and sad all the time. But I'm looking other jobs

I’m in this position right now and I’m not even two months into the job. Management is horrible, there’s no work life balance and having to go into the office makes me down right suicidal. Tempted to quit already but unfortunately I need the money, but my mental health has already been destroyed. I don’t know how much of this I can take.

​@akesiaxavier276 feel like this myself (minus horrible management) and I am 3 months into a new job, not even sure if I even want to do office work anymore tbh as doing it for nearly 3 years has wiped me the hell out

I had realised it and doing the same way back in my 12s but still I have to work due to social and family pressure 🥺

Welp, I guess better never have an emergency. With the cost of healthcare, for instance, you … kind of need a ton of money in the US sadly.

@Boy George fact everything so expensive

Food, rent and energy is insanely expensive where I live...

Bless you!

Definitely. That’s why I’m trying my best to figure out this mess while I’m young with no children and just a neglected pet cactus.

@@lol.3460 same

This kills me…. I’m also making six figures and making any less is preventing me from leaving. I hate my coworkers and boss. I’m extremely frustrated and the thought of working there for the rest of my life haunts me.

@@modernlunacy4341 Become debt free, leave and discover who you really are. Then, do what you love or your purpose.

@@modernlunacy4341 STACK, SAVE AND MOVE ON... Once you have long term savings and your debt is paid. Leave because life is too short. You should not be miserable just to survive.

@@modernlunacy4341 could you tell me more? I'm 37 and starting a new job soon for almost 6 figures, but I know it will eat my soul eventually. It's like I'm on a train and I can't stop it. Do you have a plan for the next months or year, even just a vague plan?

@@guyfromavillage134 Sure. The work itself isn’t bad, but the people aren’t very welcoming. I’m an engineer. I’ve been here at this job for about 4 years now. At first it was great, but I had a falling out with my boss, which led to rumors and a toxic environment. Unfortunately, during these first few years I gained a bit of quite weight (the pandemic didn’t help), so I lost all my confidence as well. I’m planning on getting into shape, and then I’ll be confident enough to interview at other companies and hopefully escape this hellhole. Until then, I just have to keep my head up and perform until I can escape. I think I’ll even consider leaving for 10-15k less than I am making now. I just miss having friends at work. I live alone, so I don’t have anyone else to converse with besides the people at work. I can see how people go crazy from loneliness and neglect.

Same here. You've described me perfectly

I lasted 15 mins and left. Screw that

I've been in the call center business for 6 years and I've been crying since then... But honestly I have in my mind what I would do with the money I'm earning to follow my dream to do art and live from that I refuse to stay there forever.... Find something you love and tried to save a little bit of money and pretty soon you will be there where you wanted to be but having a reason besides family to work for will really help you I promise you

@@mrsminnamorato Customer service representative. Trust me u do not want to do it.

Hello olecheese, I totally understand you, I work in Phone customer service and the customerr are rude an racist sometimes, let me tell you something, I realize that if we have no job, things are going to be harder FOR A WHILE, but if we stay in this horrible Jobs, WE WILL TRULY DIE, we will lose our souls and we don't have to let that happen. A job should not be the reason of why a person stopped being happy. Take a desicion, do it for your happines, for your future and most important, for your Health.

@port nut Not true. My aunt pays her gardener 50$ an hour and he does a smashing job. If you have some business savvy you can hire other people to work for you and make a good living out of it.

I work in stock retail and wearing a mask for almost 46 hours a week is fucking pissing me off. Customers are mentally challenged and everyone is overworked. Almost everyone I know there hates it but no one can get out. Everyone feels stuck man

Same exact thing I’m dealing with it’s the worst I feel trapped 😔

Let me present my perspective here. I am in an IT job in which I need to provide technical support to various problems constantly. Problem solving all the time is draining. Sometimes I feel doing repetitive tasks is relaxing. I think a good job would be like 70% repetitive work and 30% innovation/creativity/doing or learning something new.

Same here mate, I feel so lost and ashamed

I work the same IT support job and I’m hating it absolutely after 3 months. I want to change it but can’t due to Covid-19.

Yeah but when broccoli costs $10 for 2 shitty little pieces nowadays there's no choice. We have to have another job lined up before we quit a current job. That's a horrible idea.

​@@mikepawlikguitarhow about moving back to a low cost state? I mean idk about what people in usa going through but moving back to a simple life is often the right choice. Ones life isn't worth the stress these cities are giving...

@@yowaiomae914 I would.. except I live in Canada. There's no dodging that bullet in this country 😕

Same here. I have never been a people person, which is probably why I hate my job. I work in a grocery store so of course you have deal with customers throughout the day. Every time one of them comes up to me I don't look at them as a customer, I look at them as someone getting in the way of me doing my job. It's exhausting having to deal with them. I can't wait to quit that place someday.

Same...

@@lifeandmorechannel2987 praying for you, I hope you get debt free asap, do what you love after that

I didn’t quit my job 6 months ago to do what I really wanted to do bc the money was less and I felt like I was letting my coworkers down too. Well, most of them quit this year and didn’t care about leaving me behind! Lesson learned!

When it comes to something like this, people always watch out for their own mental health. So they need to understand you need to do what's best for YOU. Don't feel like you're irreplaceable, you never are in a common job.

Same 😔

Me too, indeed working in customer service is killing us introverts on the inside. I get panic attacks everyday😳
