I also quit my job at 52 year old. Saved 650k and moved to Spain. Life is too short , now living the dream.

I did the same thing. Quit my job, moved to another state where I didn’t know anyone with no back up. After I moved and got settled in I prayed and I think it was the next day I got a phone call to schedule an interview. Now I work in accounting which I thought I would never do. You just never know

I quit my high paying tech job and my last day is Friday. No back up and no friends or parents to move in with. However, I couldn’t power through the mental and physical health issues the job was causing any longer. Funny thing is that I’d been complaining to leadership that it was overwhelming for months. Within 24 hours of me putting in my notice they found THREE people to take the workload. Further confirmation I made the right choice. I know something better will come soon. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s comforting during this time of transition and uncertainty.

There’s SO many things I can say about how Black women are asked to carry the load with little to no pay, but I won’t. What I will say is I loved how you prepared by seeing all the doctors before your benefits ran out. I feel like that’s something most people would forget. Especially if they’re in a toxic work environment. Thanks for sharing your story!!

Girl I quit my job I was on for 15 years with no notice. It was the best decision I could of made. God get me and will lead me to success. ❤❤

I gave my two weeks notice today at my FT job I've been at for 5.5 years. Im 46 yrs old, no kids, or S.O. don't have another job lined up, in graduate school and working FT was too much. I decided to put myself and my education first. I am freaking out a lil bit in my head, but have inner peace, GODS Peace, in my heart. My job burned me out! I worked for 6 months doing 2 peoples job and did it well! But realized I was taken for granted and my work environment was dysfunctional. I felt like i had to carry the load i was carrying, when really i didn't have to! Took lots of prayers and therapy sessions to put in my resignation notice today. Stepping out on faith to a new path into purpose ❤️🙏🏽💯

I’ve got a handful of life chapters like this. Half the time, the grass IS greener on the other side. Just gotta have faith and put some effort into the faith.❤ your story.

This is literally my story right now. I am currently considering an exit strategy with Thao. Job lined up when I leave. I’m already looking to leave in the next month. Wish me luck.

I came from a toxic work environment. New employees would quit their first day. Sometimes would clockout for lunch an never come back😂. Usually it had to do with management's attitude not being clear about the job description.

I needed this coz I just have 4 days left and I'll be done, like done done, praying to God for a more fulfilling job

Just submitted my resignation letter this morning leaving the end of the month. Fortunately I can take some time off and figure out next steps. 🤞🏽

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZfaq channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 696 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place. This channel also inspired me to upload my recent videos to share my opinions about the main things that truly impacted the way I live. They're a couple of my most vulnerable videos that I've been hesitant to post for many months because of the fear of being misunderstood but I finally decided to overcome that fear so others can learn from my experience so we can all grow together. They're packed with valuable information about the relationship between a job and happiness.

The title is misleading. You may have quit without a job lined up, but you did have resources that supported that decision...a backup.

Wow!!! We have a very similar story however, I move from Miami to Atlanta for an opportunity that turned out to be toxic. After 2.5 years I walked as well. Blessings to you and thanks for sharing your story tomorrow will make one month that I’ve been gone and feeling so much better mentally and physically! I use to wake up every day at 4:30am for my long commute from Northeast Ga to midtown Atlanta! So happy that I’m free from it all and faithful for the next door God will open. Currently working my gift of hair for now

Yes girl I'm planning on quitting my job pretty soon my boss been micromanaging me for 2 years, It seems like they have a personal problem with me because nobody else isn't being micromanaged but me. I would of quit 2 years ago if it wasn't for covid pandemic shutdown.😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Congrats on having the courage to quit. I too decided to move to Texas. After only visiting Houston for the first time a month prior. On the second visit I brought a house( unlike Florida where they had no inventory or it would be delays after delays to finish a house). They actually had new construction inventory waiting to be brought. It’s been seven months so far and it’s been positive. Had to adjust a little being that it’s a different state and culture. But I’m good here for now. Hope everything is going well for you. Had to quit another job here because of one of the reasons you stated, that damn commute smh…Houston is just too damn big. At this point I feel like just taking a damn gap year from work lol.

Yes I enjoyed it, awww thank you for sharing. Useful tips, this is insightful.

I have found my passion and sadly it’s not at my current job even though my job is a blessing. I am in the midst of starting my own business and that’s all I think about while at work. It’s scary because I’m assuming this is how people feel when they want to quit to pursue their passion. I also hate the traffic going to work and coming home. It’s draining. I’m glad you stepped out on your faith 😊

For any incentive, salary, and role do not take your employer's word for it. No matter how positive a relationship you might even have. If you both come to an agreement, tell them you'll start once they put all the details in a contract you can sign (and keep for your records). That way you can accept it and be able to go back to it if they try to compensate you less or give you duties outside of what you agreed to.

I think you’re smart and confident! All the matters is what you think 💪🏼 you’re an inspiration

I admire your bravery and thank you for sharing your journey. I remember working in a toxic office environment. I understand completely. New subbie ❤

I needed to hear this. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your story beautiful Queen! I can relate, unfortunately. This was the confirmation I needed to quit my job next month. Great strategy on the medical and dental before you left. I will list out my gifts and talents to turn into side jobs during my time off. I will pray that all goes well because I'm planning for a 2-3 month break before jumping back into the workplace. I have savings I can live off of thank goodness. Wishing you continued blessings, health, and success in all that you do. I pray you are doing well and happy!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I can definitely relate. Love how you utilized your medical and benefits wisely. The amount of workload they pile on or expect you to carry with little to no compensation is ridiculous. Experiencing something similar and I feel so burnt out. Its worse when they hound and harass you on your day off. Learned to put up boundaries but some environments are just toxic for your emotional, mental, and spiritual well being.

Im 5 months into a job that i absolutely hate. I have been hoping it would get better, but it has only gotten worse. I'm putting in my notice in 1 week. No clue what im going to do for work but i know i CANNOT and WILL NOT continue dealing with this stress

This is my story. I currently work in corporate at a Superior Court as a Courtroom Clerk. Been at the court for almost 10 years. I'm constantly looked over for promotion. Like you, part of my passion is being a writer, and I still believe in my heart that's part of what I should be doing. I do write books, but after working all day my energy is drained and the support is not there. I started my own business years ago, but it's been borderline struggling since starting. I've considered leaving my job, but have been faced with some medical challenges, so of course I feel stuck. My job is my only means of financial survival, but I keep mentally going back to my dream. Not sure what will happen, but I'm open to what's next.

Good Story. I'm about to the same dam thing 💯

Sounds familiar to what I’m going through currently. I’ve been in a role for almost 2.5 years; a role that requires working in tandem with an RN. I’ve worked with three RNs due to high turnover. Over it

Office Space, I going to quit my job in November

Girl ur apt is a lot like mine! My living room is close to the kitchen like yours. Love your subdued color choices…that smokey grey is real nice. I quit my job last month, basically living off savings for now as I have not yet figured out a new income stream. I need to figure it out soon tho!

Thank you for sharing your story/experience!

I completely left after my assigned shift in 2021 before going to Amazon. However PTO couldn’t be paid out to me I felt like nothing was ever going to happen when concerns arise on the job. I was working 11-8 M-F. Amazon is overworking others but at some point I need a balance their hours and my shift now is 1:20-11:50am F-M. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ over $15 is just not enough to do anything when you have to pay a few bills and there, hardly any money is over to save. It’s takes longer. I completely agree have a job before leaving and just because you get the interview doesn’t guarantee a final offer, decision.

I enjoy your video, but generally speaking it is not good advice to tell anyone to do something that would affect their financial, mental, or emotional livelihood without having a backup plan.

❤

Thank you for sharing needed this 😊

i started crying after you stop at that mcdonald

sounds familiar. Where I work people have been regularly leaving for 2 1/2 years. They keep piling more and more on us. and it is miserable.

Food is the ultimate motivator 😂

Update?

Hey Quay, Hope all is well. What is great way to message you or speak with you ? I would love pick your brain about moving from Atl to Texas.

Can you do a video on why you left Atlanta
