I wake up dreading the coming day.
I feel mentally drained after work and can’t concentrate on anything. I feel physically sick/anxious.
I’m sick of taking sh*t from other people that think they are entitled to it because they are above me on the corporate ladder. Every single day I want to grab them by the ears and knee them in the face.

Fear + Anger + Hate = Suffering. Stop Suffering & Work Your "Just Quit" Plan
Friday, January 17, 2020
Say "Yes" To Yourself. Yes. Yes. Yes.
I have my own business that cannot thrive or grow without me devoting more time to it. It has gotten to the point where the things that need to be done for my business require more time and more effort. I am so drained from my job during the day, that I lack the energy to want to do anything else. In truth the time is there I am just worn out.
I also no longer enjoy what I do because I am being overwhelmed by too many unrelated job tasks. I feel that now that it is just me and one other person there are 9-5 responsibilities that shouldn’t necessarily be mine, but have become my duty.
I don’t feel that I am good at graphic design and having the pressure of doing something that I don’t think that I am good at is stressful. This isn’t what I signed up for and I have the skill but it’s not an area where I excel, so I feel like the pressure of my work not being good enough.
My job title is Project Manager but I have no team to manage or assist with anything, everything is on me.

It's A New Year - Focus On Taking Care Of Yourself This Year
I don’t like my job.
I don’t like the people I work with.
It is taking away my happiness mentally and physically. My job is causing me issues in my marriage, and with my immediate family.
I feel stuck, depressed, and unable to take care of myself.

We can take care of ourselves.
Sometimes we are the only ones who can take care of our situations. As much as we want someone to step in and figure it out for us, sometimes that someone is only us.
We are able to figure this out. We will get through this. We will survive it.

Claim Your Freedom & Move Towards What You Want To Do In Life
I’m quitting because my current job gives me anxiety.
I hate teaching and planning lessons.
I don’t see myself doing this the rest of my life so why should I stick this out the rest of the year.

Claim your freedom to move forward with your decision to “Just Quit”.
If you know this is not the job or career that you want for the rest of your life, so it’s just a matter of time before you make a change.
Today move towards that change.

Another Work Monday On Your Current Job...Two Down...50 More To Go...
I’ve survived in an incredibly difficult and low paying job that’s affecting my health, has left me filled with rage and depression for the past two years, and shows every sign of getting worse.
The people I work for have proven to be distrust-worthy on more than one occasion. They constantly employ bad business ethics and bully anyone who stands up to them. For instance: it is routine to deny minimum wage workers legal overtime pay for many overtime hours worked on a WEEKLY BASIS. I am in a management position, and have tried to curtail these practices with every plea–short of filing a federal wage claim (which I was also bullied about)–to no avail.
My family has pleaded for me to leave this job because it has left me completely isolated, emotionally and physically unwell, beyond stressed, and very angry to be unable to stop corrupt business practices.
Also, did I mention I’m working in the food services industry?
Oh, and I’m also barely making above minimum wage myself. I’m uncompensated for overtime hours worked, and I’m not allowed my basic benefits or raises at all because apparently “the franchise doesn’t have money”.
I’m also no longer able to work a set schedule, and I’m never allowed to request a day off for illness, family matters, or otherwise, in two years of work–which makes scheduling an interview difficult.
