Walk Across The Bridge To A Brighter Tomorrow

I quit my job without having another job lined up.

I was asked on multiple occasions to perform task which were illegal and unethical.

This Monday I realized I didn’t need to stay in this organization.

There were intimidation tactics and negativity. I was coached and told that I was too professional, and too positive. I have never heard that in my entire career.

Two of the co-workers were toxic, one was drunk at work, the other one was verbally abusive.

I took power and quit. I have no regrets.

Most people would have said “don’t burn bridges” but what’s to burn if no bridges ever existed.

bridge

There is a bridge. 

Finally you can see the bridge.

Some people will never see it, they will stay stuck thinking it’s a cliff when all along there was a bridge to a brighter day.

This job is just one point in your life; you can walk across to the next point in your life. “Don’t burn bridges” use them to get you to your future that is waiting to unfold.

Can You Look In The Mirror, Be Proud of Yourself & Do Your Job?

You are reading from the book “Just Quit” & Live 

Q: Why do you want to quit your job EVEN if you don’t have another job lined-up?

I’m driving all over the state “trying” to see doctors whom I cannot see.

I’m tired of educational resources, that aren’t educational at all!

I’m bored.

We cannot call on hospitals, but that’s where we should be.

I keep getting told, “change is coming.”

I’m tired of having to deal with co-workers on the western side of the state who break compliance rules all the time and have asked me to do the same. Completely, undeniably, unethical!!

ethics

Some of us have been here; where doing our jobs are almost impossible.

What we are asked to do is just not working. Everybody knows it’s not working, but we keep right on “trying” to do it. 

We skirt around the edges of ethics just to get it done.

It gets old day-after-day and we want a change, but change doesn’t seem to be coming fast enough.

Today, we need to ask ourselves: “Can I look in the mirror and be proud of myself AND do this job?”
