New Book Cover For Just Quit & Live

Although I haven’t been able to blog the survey results in some time to-date we have over 9,835 entries from 127 countries.  There are 195 countries in the world so our survey respondents live in 65% of the WORLD.  Because survey results are still coming in daily I know that many people are currently painfully employed.  Below is a recent survey entry from a woman from Massachusetts making over $100K:

I am no longer fulfilled with any aspect of my current positions. I drag myself out of bed every morning. I dread going in and spending all day at a desk and computer. I get anxious when the weekend is almost over. And I am more frustrated at work then at any other place.

 

I am redoubling my efforts on this issue.

I have a new book cover that depicts the possibilities and the hope on the other side of just quitting your job.

If you find this post and you are suffering in your job, just know that you are not crazy and you are not alone.  There are many others who have googled “just quit” and found this blog and purchased the book.  Inside the book are stories from others who want to/need to “just quit” and daily motivations that will give YOU hope and help you make it through until YOU too can “just quit”.

Happy, Healthy and Whole

 

Happy, Healthy and Whole is what came to me today walking around the block.

Question: What do you want?

Answer: A litany/list of things pursued…but… then when I boiled that list down I wanted to be Healthy (my family and friends to be healthy), Happy (my family and friends to be happy) and Whole (who we should be, where we should be, and what we should be doing).

So new mantra today:  May I be Happy, Healthy and Whole

The reason I am writing this post is because it makes me happy to blog.

Happy, Healthy and Whole

Dealing With Emotions While Miserable At Work

When you are in a job that you want to ‘Just Quit’ there are lots of emotions that you will experience everyday.

The below poem will help you cope. Once you realize that you have to take the good with the bad and that you will get thru this dark tunnel you will be able to welcome it all.

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

— Jellaludin Rumi

Just Quit Job Reasons - Philippines

“I’ve had enough.

I’ve already experienced 4 busy seasons in a reputable firm. Of course, I’m grateful for the learnings and experiences I had for the past 4 years, but this time, I am already burnt out.

Besides, the longer I stay in my Company, the longer I’ll find myself feeling repressed about the what-ifs in life. Quitting my job without another one, will help have more time to find the more appropriate job for me.”

– Senior Assurance Auditor

Ridea’s Note:

The above quote is the reason a worker who completed our survey said they wanted to “Just Quit” their job even if they didn’t have another job lined-up.  Think about this: Why do people have to work in “jobs” they don’t like in order to live? We need to do better as a society. Basic Income is a way for people to transition into work that matters to them.  

In 2018 I am committing to daily blogging quotes from the survey since writing the book.  If you’re going thru job hell right now…hang in there…and know that you are not crazy and you are not alone.

Peace, Ridea 2018

I have no friends at work
I have no motivation left
