Today, Make A List Of The Things That You Like To Do

I need more time with my family.  I want to get my  house and family life organized. 

For the last few years everything has been a crazy whirlwind and I feel like I am spinning out of control. 

I need to find a new career that would be more suited to family life and allow me the time to spend with my kids and keep a well- organized home.

~Worker Living in South Dakota

Today, make a list of the things that you like to do.

You may not be doing any of these things now, but you need to make a list of those things. It could be walking, painting, meditating, yard work, fishing, cooking, ect. You need this list because you have to start sprinkling these things into your everyday activities.

Sometimes to get out of a whirlwind we need to slow it down just enough for us to be able to find our way out to a calmer environment. We need space to figure things out.

Sprinkling into your day things you love will allow the universe to move you towards this calm place and space.

We Have The Freedom To Choose - Staying Misaligned Or Getting In Alignment

My values do not align with the GM or other top managers in the company.

The willingness to change our corporate culture to become a better company is not even a consideration because they need to keep selling.

Our customers think poorly of our company and nothing is done to address the root cause of those complaints. A discount is given and they stop complaining.

Anxiety is constant even on weekends when I cannot stop thinking about everything.  I am already behind on next week.

They are forcing me to fire people in my department and not understanding that we are already understaffed.

~Worker Living in GEORGIA

A big part of “Just Quit” is finding alignment.  We have to be in alignment with our highest selves, purposes and goals. It might take some time to find this alignment or it might happen in a flash. It just depends.

At some point we realize that we are out of alignment with where we are supposed to be, what we are supposed to be doing and contributing to the world.

We have the freedom to choose. We can choose staying misaligned or getting in alignment.

Yes, You CAN Handle Being Honest With Yourself About Your Job Situation

I’m tired of it.

I’m not making enough money to deal with it all any more, not to mention the commute. I’m tired of feeling like I’m wasting my time while I’m there, and then there’s the clueless manager.

I’m tired of the schedule. I’m sick of the leg pain and feeling worn out the next day.

I’m ready to push myself into finding something new. I can find another job, provided that I finally start looking for one. Almost any job I get will pay me more than I’m making now.

I made a big mistake recently and have to deal with the consequences. It made me realize that my job isn’t worth it.

~Worker Living in Illinois

Finally, when we get to the point where we know we need to leave a job it is a liberating moment.

Finally, we can be real with ourselves.

Finally, we can stop faking it and telling others and ourselves how happy we are.  We aren’t happy.  We are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Finally…we know this job isn’t worth it anymore and we need to move on. 

Is It Really URGENT? Due Now? Why??? Folks Are Just Asking "Leaders" To Focus On What Is IMPORTANT.

The treatment from management and “leadership” isn’t fair and the demands are ridiculous. Especially being a commission paid employee.

~Worker Living in Missouri

Oh how crazy it feels to work in a place where there are “false urgencies”. 

Everything is due today. No…it’s due in an hour. Where is that e-mail? Did you get the report done? I need that PowerPoint Deck now! 

It’s exasperating when you KNOW that none of it is really important.   A month from now, a year from now and definitely five years from now NONE of this will matter. So…because we know this continue to bear the ridiculous demands from management for now. 

Take note and VOW that if or when you are in position of power NEVER to create “false urgencies” for your people.  Do not EVER forget how you feel under this unnecessary and undue pressure…never forget. Put a smile on your face today as you carry out these ridiculous demands. It will confuse them.

Out of Ruin...There Is Hope...For A New You...

I am miserable, my social, physical and emotional health is being ruined.

I think my boss has a very negative impression of me.

It is a toxic environment.

~Worker Living in the United Republic of Tanzania

Out of rubble and ruin comes a new you. 

It is painful and gut wrenching to go through the hero’s journey, but that is what many of us are experiencing.  It’s an awakening. It’s like a rebirth. 

Just be thankful because you could be happy and complacent in this “job”.

You could look up and your best years and dreams are behind you…but…you are here. 

You feel like you are in ruin… maybe this is true…but out of ruin comes a treasure.

A College Degree Is Very Important, If You Don't Have One...But It's No Guarantee for Workplace Fit or Happiness.

I’m not in my field that I have seven years of education and two degrees for.

I haven’t progressed professionally in four years for the lack of understanding what I actually do.

I have been to three therapists for depression dealing with my current lifestyle and this job.

~Worker Living in Arizona

YES get your degree, but do the hard work of figuring out what you’re good at and passionate about so you get a degree that works for you.

Back to the myth that “schooling” is the key that opens all doors. It’s not and we know that. 

We have too many examples of folks who made it big without even finishing high school.  Then on the other hand we have folks that have several degrees and have jobs where they aren’t using any of that information, and even if they are, they are still miserable. 

Finding our purpose doesn’t begin or end with a degree. Getting an education and a degree is a part of finding our purpose. Even if you don’t have a job title or description that relates to your degree that should not stop you from doing SOMETHING that relates to your purpose. 

We will continue to be depressed as long as we are suppressing our passions.  We have to find a way to express our uniqueness.

Just do SOMETHING today that gives you joy.

Are You Working With Your Type of People? If Not, It's Time To Find Your Tribe.

A year after a former employer was acquired and a merger is complete, I have realized that these are just not “my people”. They do not do anything that I am proud of.

They do not “make” anything, only manipulate information. The subject matter bores me. My mind goes to a beach on an island or a hiking trail in the mountain within the first 30 seconds of every meeting.

I disagree with leaders in their approach in some aspects of business.

I am now behind the scenes, and client contact is what I always enjoyed, but the types of positions available are not what I was accustomed to in my former life.

I hate my work environment. Everybody works in the dark. It’s a dungeon and they seem to like it.

Sh*t rolls downhill, and it all collects in my department.

Worker Living In Florida

This is a plaque I made after reading this poll entry…

Sometimes all you have to do is find your tribe. 

Find the people you want to work with.

If you know that “these are just not my people” then it is a step in the right direction. Knowing that helps you find your tribe…your people…people that will help you fulfill your life’s work and vice versa.

Self Respect Means Knowing and Doing What Is Best For You

I’m tired of being taken advantage of and disrespected.

I’m tired of working my a** off for minimum wage and pouring my heart into a franchise I can’t change. Along with a penny pinching boss that defines cheap. (Broken furnace gets space heaters).

~Worker Living in CANADA  

Today I will show respect.  I will start with showing myself respect.

One of the universal truths; no matter who you are, where you were born, your race, your color or any other social factors is that ALL people want respect. They want to be treated with dignity and feel like they count.  The only problem is that not everyone knows or understands that universal truth.

You cannot respect others if you don’t respect yourself.

Just for this day respect yourself. Move through your day fully aware of your emotions (feelings) and your needs (physical, social, and emotional). It will start to amaze you as you focus on respecting yourself first and others second;  how the universe around you picks up on it and your outlook and situation starts to improve.

This Is Your Life, You Can Decide How To Live It.

I’m working for a narcissist. His sarcastic, rude comments are more than I can bear anymore. He repulses me.

I am depressed from having to deal with this individual.

I too have looked for another job without success.

I feel stuck and I want to “Just Quit”.

~Worker Living in Arkansas

When we work for people who we know are mentally ill it can be a challenge. It IS a challenge. We have to second guess our every move and endure needless verbal abuse…for what…a paycheck, health benefits, a job? 

We all know that everything changes, because it does. Eventually this situation will change as well. Although it might seem unbearable; it is bearable. It will change.

Until it changes we have to DECIDE what we can do to deal with it, with our boss and with this job. Remember we can DECIDE.  We have choices. We have to actively seek them out and we have to start taking actions.

Grow From Your Situtation

I need to have TIME back – I hate feeling that the job is impossible and I am inadequate!

I’m in education – but the English system is too ridiculous I want to return to Ireland where I’m originally from and I want ME back.

~Worker Living in the UNITED KINGDOM

Who is “me”? Depending on how you look at it you might never get that “me” back again.

Even when you come out of your depression; or get out of this job; the “me” that you were before this is not the “me” that you should be after this.

Know that you are going to grow from this situation.

Stop Just Going Through The Motions...Why Were You Born?

I don’t like paperwork and my job is very boring. 

I can’t find myself and I don’t like spending most of my life doing this or being in this place.

~Worker Living in Switzerland

Finding yourself is the greatest gift that you can give the world. 

Discovering the reason that you were born and are in the world is what life is all about. 

If you are just going from day to day, going through the motions – STOP. You are here in the universe for a reason…only you can find out why…that’s why you’re here to play your part…find yourself…then give yourself, your gifts and your talents away to the world.

Are You "Stepping In" To Fill A Role At Work? Maybe It's Time To Step Back.

I was hired as a Product Mgr. (PM) in a start up with a sound value proposition. I have responsibility to enhance it.

Part of my expectation is that I want to focus on PM, and I was told that they were hiring a VP of Eng. Although the title seemed too lofty, it satisfied my condition that there is a design execution counterpart to my role, so I can focus on the role I want to fulfill.

The Eng. Mgr. did not work out.  After three months of my happy period where I was delivering good work products (not results yet) for the team, I was thrusted into having to add engineering mgmt. to my role. I have the experience to do it, and I am doing it well. But it was not my intent.

Upon two reviews, my CEO advises that he does not want me to ‘help’ with engineering, be engineering or be PM, but don’t confuse the two. There has been a Programme Manager, who played some Eng. Mgr. role, but it was never clear to me what he did before my (and the eng mgr.) time. He is some sort of stakeholder, so I am unsure if he wants to lay back a bit, or has no interest to handle the engineering role, for which I became absorbed, but I was told I need to clarify my boundaries.

I can do the engineering mgr. role but it is not what I want to do – it was clear in my application process. They made a bad hire, and I stepped in to help. The CEO says I should ‘step in’, just do or not do. I don’t want to do the engineering job, but as a Product Manager, if engineering is weak, there is no product for me to manage and evangelize. So I am stuck.

The engineering challenges are large, with an aggressive agenda. 3+ products, each product having 3 modes of sensing, each sensing mode have to be developed. Each of these dimensions has their challenges. The company has resisted division of labour, and wants to remain in a ‘lab’ engineer environment. Each product x modes x sensing development has multiple deliveries within periods measured by months. All staff are multitasking to an extreme, while that is not appreciated, as there are often calls for people to focus.

Ultimately, many of these decisions are CEO/Founder driven. The company is mining technology, and the hiring process has not had many domain experts except for the CEO himself. I came from a FT50 company, whose domain is not mining, not relevant to be specific here. I am an operations guy with a career in Product Management (marketing) as well.

Where operations require suggestions for changes, I have found out from other senior managers that the CEO trumps decisions. You can’t say no to him, this is true for CTO, Programme Manager, and other senior managers. 

I can fight to change the culture, while facing looming deadlines, which will likely face further erosion of my confidence.

There has been resistance for me to directly interface with customers on key projects. While the resistance has relented, the initial reaction is to hold me back. I deal with customers and field projects well. When I do interact with them, it reminds me of the confidence I have in what I do.

After the background – there is founder-itis, and I am now doing more that I wanted to apply for 9 months ago rolling in Eng Mgr. and Prod Mgr. roles, with no increase in pay (they get a 2 for 1 deal), while I watch the senior managers not help even though they must have been doing this before my hiring. At the same time, the forward-looking promises are accelerating all in the name of preserving the runway. The CEO wants to do many things, not focus (“everything is critical”), so there are more hiring’s. More hiring requires more management, for which I have ‘stepped in’ but I am told not to. Someone must do the engineering management, or I do not have products to evangelize.

In the end, I am doing more that I applied for, not recognized for it, told that I shouldn’t do it (secretly, he just wants both done, and accountability, so there are no excuses), the risk of failure is high, and the promises are piling up. 

~Worker Living in CANADA

We can step into roles, tasks and duties that aren’t ours to do.

We can be used and used and used up. This is what happens to ‘good’ employees who want to ‘help’.

Before you ‘step in’ you should ‘step back’ and ask yourself WIIFM? What exactly is In It For You?

Somebody Cares About You...Don't Give Up...Hold On To HOPE

I have been off work from anxiety disorder and depression since July. I believe that the current (and continuing) environment is toxic and triggers my sensitivities to both disorders.

I have been on medication and to therapy since – I have the option to go back in January. However as much as I think I have changed, I don’t think that environment has improved.

While I think I could go back and handle the work, I think I would be very unhappy and it would start to deteriorate all the work I have put into my mental health over the past few months. In the meantime it’s holding me back from moving on and making plans for the future.

I could make it work at this job, but it would be a day to day struggle and I would have to work hard on how to manage the issues I have.

I would rather put that hard work and effort towards something more positive – toward furthering my abilities and career.

~Worker Living in CANADA

Today, just know that there are options. 

We can come up with options for our problems with this job.

If we need to get help then we need to get help. 

Sometimes just knowing that we can get help, helps.

Reach out today if you need to get professional help to deal with your anxiety or depression. Somebody cares.  Somebody cares about you and what you are going through.

P.S.

If you are thinking suicidal thoughts today because of your job tell somebody. Ask them to listen to you. Tell them you are struggling right now and just need to know that someone cares. There is a program called QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) for people to help those who are suffering.  Your family may not know to outright ASK you the question…ARE YOUR THINKING ABOUT SUICIDE?  Consider this someone asking you the question.  Are You Thinking About Suicide Because Of Your Job?  If the answer is YES please tell someone, or call the Suicide Hotline in your country.

You will make it through this time. You will.  You will find a work situation that is right for you. Please talk to someone and get help so that your story continues and you can continue to contribute your essence to the universe.

Find A Hobby...Do Your Hobby...De-Stress

I’ve been at my job, a kitchen for eight years. I recently had an episode a month back, it felt like a heart attack. It was one of the scariest things I have ever felt. It happened again and again over the next few weeks.

I went to a heart doctor, and he said, there is nothing wrong with your heart. It’s stress, you’re having panic attacks he said. I have not felt normal for some time.

Every now and again, when I have time off, or am actively participating in my hobbies, and passions, I feel like my old self again.

But most days I just feel bad. It’s a horrible feeling that I would never wish on anyone. I don’t ever want to feel this way ever again.

I have strongly disliked my job for many years and have suffered problems related to stress because of it, but never this bad.  

It’s just too much and I can’t put myself thru it any more. 

~Worker Living in Florida

 

Sometimes all it takes is for us to lose ourselves in our hobbies.

They are our passions.

They allow us to de- stress.

They allow us to un-think.

They can pull us out of a deep depression.

Those hobbies can help us find our way, our path, and our plan.

Today, do your hobby or if you don’t have a hobby then go to a hobby store and walk around it and decide to try something that interest you…then…you’ll have a hobby.

Doors Of Opportunity Will Present Themselves…Even Without A Degree.

I’m depressed; there is no growth prospect. I’m not enjoying what I am doing and I’m working with stupid people.  I feel like I am getting no skills here and not improving myself. 

This job is actually stagnating me and making me unemployable. 

No matter how hard I work I will never be promoted because of my lack of education. I have tried to study but have no support and I am really interested in IT. 

Finding a new job in South Africa with our unemployment at 50+% will be hard but I can’t bear this job anymore.

~Worker Living in South Africa

If you know exactly what you want, then it’s already there waiting for you to come and get it.

Move towards what you know you want to do. 

Doors will open and opportunities will present themselves…even without a degree.

We Were BORN To Create…So Create Something Today

My job makes me miserable.  I’m not interested in the work at all. I feel so drained that I’ve stopped creating new things to sell in my Etsy business. It’s also damaging my outlook on life and relationships.

~Worker Living in United Kingdom

Don’t stop creating.

  If you can create ANYTHING (food, art, music, etc.) with your hands then do it today.

  Even if you don’t feel like doing it, still do it. 

We were BORN to create…so create something today.

What Do You Want? Name It. Identify It. You Already Have The Power.

I don’t like my workplace.

I don’t like management.

It’s not what I want to do at all.

It is thousands of kilometers away from the only thing that matters to me – my family.  I don’t like where I live and miss my culture.      

~Worker Living in Australia

There are some jobs that we have moved away from family, friends and our home country to pursue.  At first it can be exciting…new place…new city…new experiences… THEN…the lights come on and you see the mess that you are in.

It seems almost impossible to figure out how to get out of where you are. You just want to be able to go home…be like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and click your heels three times and just go home.

Well, it might not be that easy, but that is a start.  To KNOW what you want to do.  Name it.  Identify it.  See it. You have to see it on the inside before it materializes on the outside. 

Focus on Energy. Research It. Understand It. Use It Wisely.

I dread waking up every morning and going to work.

Sunday nights are extremely depressing.

There hasn’t been any growth for me in more than a year.

I don’t get along with my boss.

I hate sitting in a cubicle.I hate crouching over a computer.I hate sitting under fluorescent lights.

I hate that my life is neglected because I have to go to work somewhere else and give all of my time and energy to a cause I no longer believe in.

~Worker Living in California

Our energy and our essence belongs to us. 

We can exchange our time for a salary, but our energy is ours. 

You can work on a project, or work retail, or fast food for that matter and give your time, mind and hands; but there is a life force that belongs to you. 

Today and everyday carve out time to focus on the energy that flows through your body.  If you feel it is depleted…ask for more energy.  There is an abundant supply of energy that comes from a Source outside of us.

Just ask: “Please give me an abundant supply of life force energy today.  I need it today to flow through my body and help me work on or towards causes that I believe in. Show me what I need to do to get more energy.”

Go On Your Hero's Journey...Embrace The Unknown

I hate my job and am ready for a career change.

I feel it is time for me to move on and I can’t do that while I’m stuck at my job. The job is guaranteed misery.

Quitting is the unknown but it is certainly no guaranteed misery. It’s the opportunity to start fresh and do something new.

~Worker Living in Illinois

Change is moving from the known to the unknown. That’s why it seems scary.  But what good is the known if we know it’s not working for us.

It’s time to move on.

Who knows what the future holds. No one knows for sure. You might be on the cusp of stepping into the very reason that you were born…right here…right now…today… 

Honoring A Veteran Today. Thank You For Your Service.

I take $400 out of savings each month to cover what my pay check doesn’t. 

My job has no future.

My house needs repairs and I have the material. My house is too small for my family.

I’m a veteran and I have a degree. I make $15.00/hr. 

~OKLAHOMA

Our veterans have endured. 

They have suffered.

Many have survived, but some have given it all. 

Our veterans are coming back from war, some wounded and some to a job with no future.

Today, we will honor our veterans. 

We will honor their service.

We will send up a prayer today for each and every veteran that they may be happy.

Have Compassion. Be Kind. Help Someone Today.

I have been in this field of work for 20 years and with this company for only seven weeks and have not been trained. I have spoken to my immediate bosses who ignore my repeated requests for training. I have spoken to their boss and HR.  I have been ignored by everyone.

I am unhappy and things just keep getting worse. I try to go in with a better attitude every day and keep trying to just work harder.

People are unkind, unprofessional, and sometimes just plain rude to me. I don’t fit in and still unsure of what my role is. I feel so lost and I keep getting negative feedback from my peers and boss.

I went in on Friday morning and just told my boss I need some direction and training and she refused to help me. She said I think you are doing just fine then sent me an e-mail with a list of my current mistakes. By company guidelines I should have 6 weeks of training I had only 6 days.

I work in a high stress clinic and I am counted on to care for patients. I am so afraid I will make an awful mistake. I don’t know the equipment or protocols for this particular clinic. I told my boss that the patients and I both deserve better.

The staff around me complains that I am not helping them enough and that I don’t know their system. My boss still does not understand my concern. The patients are frustrated that I know what I need to do, but not how to do it when I am helping them. 

~Colorado

Do you remember how it feels to be new, in a new job, new department, new assignment, new responsibility, or learning a new computer system? Look around you.  There is someone struggling to learn that “something new”. Someone on the job is struggling and feels like they are in the dark. If you can help them and ease that learning curve burden, then help them.

Think cooperation and not competition.

We are all in this human experience together.

Help someone else today. Show compassion.   

Miserable In Your Job? Depressed? Close Your Eyes To Expand Your Perspective.

My body is on fire every day and I can feel my pulse in my neck.

I feel like crying every day.

I’m unappreciated.

I’m cranky.

I hate doing night shifts.

I look ten years older than I actually am.

I put on 20kg while on the job and have developed severe flat feet.

I can’t stand my Filipino co-workers they’re so scheming and cheap. Everyone is cranky at work.

I eat more than I should to justify the effort I put in.

~Singapore 

We are in jobs that are stressing us out.

By now either we know how this stress is manifesting in our bodies or we don’t know. If we don’t know; then we need to start paying attention to how our bodies feel.

Maybe you are losing weight, gaining weight, feel the heated sensation, have panic attacks, eye twitches, etc.  It’s different for each of us.

We need to make it through the day, this day. One way is to close your eyes. 

Don’t just close your eyes when you are sitting down or sleeping.  Close your eyes as you do a routine task…brushing your teeth, taking a shower, eating, typing…it will instantly change your perspective. 

We have five senses, but our sight usually takes over all the others.  When you close your eyes you begin to feel, taste, hear and smell everything more clearly.

You will be more in tune with your body and how stress is manifesting itself in your body. You will also instantly be more grateful that you CAN open your eyes and see this day, drive your car, wash the dishes, read the report, or read an email.

Closing our eyes helps us become open to the present moment and be in our bodies.

Today, close your eyes. It will help you see what you need to do.

Question Why You Hate Your Job: Behind Every I Hate Is A "Why" & Behind Every "Why" Is A Value

I hate my job.

I hate going there.

I hate the patients.

I hate their families.

I hate the administration and their disregard for the hard work I put in.

I hate that my boss changes my time card and doesn’t pay me overtime.

I hate being yelled at by family members.

~New York

I hate this and I hate that. You can list everything that you hate about your current job.  It’s a very easy starting point.

Behind every I hate is a “why” and behind every “why” is a value.

If you don’t know your values…start with your I hate list and it will lead you to what’s important to you in your next endeavor.

Hit A Brick Wall? Time To Find The Fire Within

I’ve hit a brick wall. I’m unhappy working here. My heart sinks no matter what I am asked to do. I’m in a rut. 

~United Kingdom

When we hit a brick wall, then, there is nowhere else to go.

We can try to break that wall down and keep going down that path or we can make a right or a left turn and go in another direction.

Maybe the brick walls are there to let us know that we need to make a turn – left or right – new direction.

Time To Face Your Fears

It scares the heck out of me. I don’t know how we would pay for things if I “just quit”.

I don’t know what people would say to me/about me.

I also worry that I would be tempted not to try to find another job!

~Tennessee

Stay in the present moment.  Right here. Right now. We are just going to focus on this moment.

When our minds carry us on the scary rollercoaster of tomorrow; what if, be afraid, be very afraid ride; just breathe.  Take slow, even, in and out breaths. Allow your body to relax. It will bring you back to today, right now, this moment.

A Breathing Technique You Can Use:

The only way to overcome fear is to face it.

To face it like the bully that it is. Today we aren’t going to worry about the future.

We are going to focus on the fact that we are working on a plan FOR the future, so we don’t have to be AFRAID.

The future will come and we will be prepared to meet it.

Pretend You Are Just Starting Out In Your Career...What Would You Do?

It is only a part time job and I am a college graduate looking for a full time job.

I am unhappy every single day about having to go to work, even on the days when I don’t work.

The hours are very inconvenient and I feel taken advantage of at this job.

~Wisconsin

Although it doesn’t matter how old you are when you figure out that you deserve to be happy and have the obligation to find your path, the earlier you can do this the better off you are.

Today, we are all starting out.

Today is today and we can look at today as a fresh start.

Today, we are reading this together and all moving towards our highest skills and passions.

Staying In A Job You Know You Need To Quit...Is Like Not Voting...Then Complaining...

I’ve come to a very difficult point where all I can think about is just quitting my job.

I hate it so much.

Ever since working there my friends and family (and even myself) have noticed that I have become extremely unhappy with life and very depressed…all because of this job!!

I need out!

~CANADA

We can vote for ourselves, our lives, and our happiness.

We can get out of our job; we are only stuck if we STAY stuck.

Yes, You CAN Find A Better Way To Live. Don't Believe The Big Lie That You Can't.

1. I found out that management’s style was in conflict with my professional code of ethics;

2. I’m undervalued, and when I talked to the VP, I was told that “You are blessed that I allow you to work in this company” and “You will never find anything better”;

3. I’m underpaid for my position on average. Also my employer breached the contract by not implementing the benefit package after probation;
4. There is tension between the office manager who attempts to control other department’s functions;
5. Management gives much more preference to the ethnic group of their own. For example, like taking extra days of available vacation back to Sri Lanka are PAID, while they deduct days for another employee who got into a car accident.

I’m an accountant in a small company which means I’m HR and IT as well.

~Canada

Don’t believe the lie when someone tells you…and someone will (your boss, your spouse, your parents)…that you won’t find anything better.

If YOU are miserable where you are now, then it’s not good for YOU.  It’s not right for you right now.

As long as you are moving towards your authentic self, passions and greatest skills, it’s better than staying stuck and unfulfilled….for what?…the money???…the benefits??? 

We can do better.  We will do better. 

You Are Destined For Greater Things. Do Great Work.

I absolutely hate it.

I didn’t sacrifice three years of my life at university to become the office skivvy.

I know I am destined for greater things.

I hate what I’ve been subjected to do. No power. Repetitive tasks. Dull and boring days.

It is time for me to leave. I am going nowhere with this job.

~United Kingdom
