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.

~Worker Living in IOWA

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.

Know, Be, Trust, Love Yourself

I have lost “MY” Life. 

To all the people out there, if you think you can make a meaning out of your life, make it happen. Do not sit on those silly office chairs and make someone else’s dream happen, make yours a reality…cheers.

We are all here together reading this today.  The message is to  find ourselves. 

Look for your life.  Don’t give up on YOUR dreams.

We did not come to a “Just Quit” state of mind by accident, we have been called to find our authentic selves.

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.

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.
