How Do I Quit A Toxic Job? 

People don’t leave jobs. They leave bosses.

Quitting a toxic job is easy. It's finding something better that isn't.

I have never had a bad JOB. It's always shitty bosses/management/work environment.

Dave saying “I’m sorry” made her break instantly. Crazy how toxic environments are really just a simple lack of empathy by leadership.

As a 27 year old working at a toxic job as well, I needed this

They wont listen to your opinions when you're there. They won't listen to your opinions either when you leave. So moral of the story here is to just leave

He has a good point about exit interviews honestly, if the company doesnt listen to you when you work there, theyre not gonna care once you quit. Exit interviews themselves are a good idea, an honest company would do them and try to learn from their mistakes, but a toxic workplace is going to continue to ignore the problems

“I’m staying you’re leaving, why do I care what you think” is the epitome of a toxic workplace. Perhaps you should care because others in your company might be exiting for the same reason unless you reflect and do something about it.

Dave just proved this: People need to check their egos at the door and realize leadership at most workforces don’t give a sh*% about your opinion, otherwise they’d ask for it.

A lot of times people give lots of input and it falls on deaf ears. You as a boss or a leader need to listen or you’ll lose employees that actually care and do the work!

I work in the medical field and it’s so toxic, I feel her pain.

I work in HR and I completely agree with the comment about the exit interviews! No HR department that I've ever worked with has ever done anything with the information they learned from exit interviews. It's such a shame. If I'm ever in a leadership position in HR, I will take exit interviews seriously! Leaving a toxic HR environment and I'm being asked to do a exit interview. "No thank you"

Working in the medical field is one of the most unappreciated, thankless careers. I agree with the useless "leadership" and the toxic environment. I would tell anyone not to bother with it...

1. Get signed off from your GP for workplace stress 2. file a grievance with HR 3. Resign, negotiating your exit. Get away from toxic, malevolent people. The longer you stay, the harder it will be to heal.

Plot twist.... THE CALL IS COMING FROM IN THE BUILDING!!!

It's so diffucult working in an increasingly toxic work environment when I'm nearing retirement, and don't know when that will be... when I'm 70 and single income now. Leadership all male, literally no HR department, not listened to, greedy ungrateful leadership. Please pray for me if you are a Believer.

Have a 1 year emergency fund and u can leave a toxic job . It's all about the ER fund

Ramsey kind of showed himself to be one of those toxic leaders through this video.

Ramsey admitting to being a toxic boss that doesn't care about feedback explains a lot.

Just slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan, just drop off the key Lee... just set yourself FREE! Just write a simple classy letter of resignation, give at least two weeks notice and graciously move on.

Why are so many workplaces toxic

Too many women in the workplace they undercut each other all day. I deal with this everyday.

I had to end my tenure at a construction job on Sunday evening because of a series of nightmare-like days, that were bleeding over into my personal life and taking a toll on my health off-duty. The final straw was being called a "dipshit" over something that I was specifically instructed to do on Friday, over a group message, that made me feel like I was having a heart attack. I'm glad that my exit went as smoothly as it did, and I went almost exactly by the script that was laid out here. I offered more professional courtesy than this owner likely deserved, but that's for my own pride. Same as all of the hard, skilled work that I brought to the table.

Your points helped in quitting a job in a toxic workplace. Sometimes there is the employee who creates a toxic environment that leads to a rise in employee turnover rate. We were facing the same problem of a toxic environment, so we anonymously install computer monitoring software like CleverControl. This software turns out life-changing point for our organization. We easily figure out the person who provokes others about the organization. As a result, we reduce toxic environments and employee turnover.

The toxic guy who doesn’t care about people leaving, is now giving advice on how to leave toxic workplace lol.

4:15 yep that's textbook toxic leadership 😂

I would not do an exit interview either. The company knows I am leaving and they don't care otherwise problems would have been fixed beforehand.

Real good advice here from Dave. Go out with class. Looking for a new job is a lot of work and stress, but she's gotta get out of there.

I had a buddy at an exit interview say that in order to improve the organization they need to "fire all of the leadership staff" and he's doing just fine today lol.

Same here! Perfect video at the perfect time. Just got into a position where this is happening. Values don't align with mine so I'm in the process of changing jobs as well.

I hate my job, been there 12 years and I knew it was a garbage job when I started and somehow I'm still there.

Currently dealing with this too. Fantastic insight

Thanks Dr Phil

Need to hear this right now currently working at a place that surely IS a toxic place I just couldn't believe it turned out to be that way

I greatly appreciate this!!!!

My toxic job tried to put me on PIP disciplinary while on FMLA with medical restrictions. Now...having to make tough decisions with nothing lined up for the sake of health physical and mental.

I used to work the medical field and I tell everyone how toxic it can be. What you see as a patient is not the same as what goes on behind the scenes. A lot of toxicity and bullying. No thank you glad I left

I am a teacher in an ES school with a similar environment. I am literally writing a resignation based on this advice right now.

In my worst experience, working in a toxic environment, even hostile. The owners slash bosses and managers do not care if you go to them for help. Time to go. My problem was I waited till things got better and it just doesn't it gets worse. In desperation I have accepted jobs with less money, but I was also happier.

I finally got out today after 6 long months…full check new job lined up yess sirrr I’m as resilient as they come but I’ll never stay in any situation that makes me miserable n I’ll never sit down to do a silly “exit” interview unless I was getting paid for it ✌️

great reply Ramsey, got it.

Agreed! Nursing and medical jobs right now are so tough! Leadership basically all retired due to the unconstitutionally required medical treatment, so there is a LOT of a vacuum in leadership. I love the sample language Dave provided and that advice!

this is solid advice from them

Ive quit job with nothing lined up

There are so many different areas in nursing that there should be something for anyone. I thank God every day I went into nursing. I’ve had to bounce around and I’ve dealt with some horrors but overall it’s a great career field.

Im going through this right now same age, it’s crazy because I’m having this same problem.

I agree with Dave. They aren’t going to do anything with the feedback you give them.

Wherever you go there you are....

Plot twist: she works at Ramsey Solutions and is talking about toxic Dave.

Just say three words. I QUIT.

SOUNDS LIKE MY JOB🤣🤣😭

Dear Colleague, don’t ask a non-health professional about opinion… they can’t get it, understand it, don’t understand the abuses against us.

Funny I got an ad about timeshares on Dave’s video 😂

What an attitude. I would never ever want to work for this Ramsey guy.

Best thing to do is find a new job and call in saying you resign effective immediately once you have a new job.

Love how Dave was fairly aware his company is toxic lol

I have been trying like crazy to leave my toxic job applying to different places and no one is giving me a call back sending resumes and CV’s 😎

Why bother putting in a 2 week notice if they can fire you at virtually any time ?

Ramsey should listen to exit interviews to make his work environment a better place to work. Pretty ignorant statement.

I always say " eat a bag of s#!7, get my money"

As an RN, toxic jobs are the norm and not the exception.

Everytime someone calls, from Columbus Ohio, I remember Alex P. Keaton.

Thank you for saying it Dave. I have never agreed with exit interviews and will never do one. I don’t care what they say about it.

People are so clueless today. Why would anyone ask such a dumb question. It's simple, find another job and put in your notice. Your overthinking it.

Dave's advice is very sound here.

Class Act Dave! Good advice! 👍

Leave on best terms possible, you leave when you have another job and you give them your two weeks and you tell them this new job is a step and you thank them.

I’m going through this now and it’s time to go. I love the work, but the leadership is making it insufferable 😩 😂

Just quit you dont need to have another job if you have somewhere to stay. It isn't worth the stress and some time off will clear your head.

I can one up that , i stated a job about 2 years ago. I got a job i fucking hate just being straight the company is one of those small 40 employee companies that barely can give me 40 hours as is. Anyways, yesterday they told me i was required to take on alot more responsibility. I friendly told them that i am good where i am at. I really don't want to be in a position of such responsibilities anymore. Mind you i have zero issues with my job or issues such at attendence never had an issue. I was told i either accept the "extension" of my role. Or i am no longer needed at the company. I told them , no worries ill do it .. My manager texted me "sorry bro for that was beyond me" I told him to stop texting me after hours . I am most definitely fucking off there. And i came to the realization?! I need to sell my house, i am going to step towards being no longer a job slave. Ill be debt free buy something alot smaller and go for what i NEED. I won't give them two weeks eirher, i own them notning. I own it to myself and my family to set ourselves up properly.

It happens to the best of us...

Should at least put a complaint in before you leave.

Look into hospice healthcare

She wants so much just to unload on these people on her way out.

dave ramsey doesn't like exit interviews ever since they pointed out the sexism of his office dating/baby-having policy (which was apparently pro-abortion for unmarried women)

Dave just admitted that he doesn’t care about people’s opinion. He doesn’t do exit interviews because he doesn’t care what people say. Ouch

They didn’t ask her exactly about the leadership makes her feel the way she does. Is it the executives who own the facility she works at or is it the clinical director or head nurse that she doesn’t like.

I just did it today. I have suffered 2 yrs of my @sshole smoking co-workers making me sick!

Hmm idk I’m weak I guess cus I hit my breaking point and called my boss out and the energy sucking environment

How to quit a job. Walk in say I’m Rick James b$&@& slap the boss and walk out

What if you cant get another job though? I've tried applying for jobs and ive gotten nothing.

Interesting asking Dave this, because I've heard more than a couple of reports of Ramsey Solutions being described as a toxic workplace

Leave like Bill Belichick left the Jets: hand your toxic boss a crumpled napkin that says I resign.

I never give 2 week notice when i quit. Is that bad???

Don’t leave skipping out the front door

Did he answer her question?

Move on.. lots of other jobs out there.

Don't expect an alligator to be anything but an alligator. That doesn't define you, that defines them.

Love it when Dave steals a narcissist's thunder

I don't believe in exit interview either. 9 out 10, an alligator knows it's a alligator.

Welcome to health care. The Peter Principle is quite evident.

Bring the law into it if they are breaking it

Alligators alligate!

Never quit a job until you have the next one in hand. Also you never give two weeks notice an employer will never give you two weeks notice when they fire you you leave when you're ready to leave on your terms remember an employer can only verify your length of employment and your wages that you are making once you leave a job they can't say oh yeah they left me hanging because he didn't give me two weeks notice again then player would fire you today without two weeks notice why should you give them two weeks notice that's 1950s thinking

Nurse= red flag.

Dave Ramsey just gave himself away here. Look up what has been going on with the organization.

Ramsey is a toxic boss

I personally disagree with not providing feedback when you exit. I'd rather leave a place making it better than it was especially if I have colleagues that are still there. Ignoring the problem doesn't help. I understand what Dave is saying for sure, leave and be professional but shoot, why not add some awareness? Ah well.

This makes no sense. She probably knows someone that works for Ramsey that is thinking about quitting.

Like if a red dress would suite Dave
