How To Gracefully Quit A Job You Hate 

I’m quitting today. My position will be filled in 8 minutes.

People cant give a one month notice.... Employers fire you without a one month or two week notice... You are not obligated nor can they give you a bad reference bc of it...

It's really amazing how so many people are finally realizing they want to be their own boss! myself included

I ain't giving no 1 month notice I'm quitting today

Don’t give one months notice! Especially if you’re in a toxic environment. If the employer has been good to you, give one month. You could end up on unemployment for a month… be careful.

Ive quit my job gracefully and tried to go back and was DENIED! Doesn't always work, folks. Especially if the job has cliques and people dont like you.

The one dislike is from his ex-boss

Not telling my boss anything about my plan when I hand him that letter tomorrow is going to be the hardest part for me. Very helpful video though!

Being positive is the most impactful and most powerful thing one can do, especially if they're working in a toxic environment.

1 month notice? No.

I don't want to keep my options open at any of my last J.O.B.s I want a new start on life!

Im quitting mcdonalds...it ain't that serious

I tried to quit giving one and a half months before on notice but my boss started to treat me way worse and really bad that it became really unbearable and i had to quit two weeks after i gave my first notice.

Discretion is key! Never tell your employer that you’ve found a new job somewhere else.

Handing in my first resignation today. So nervous. I hope it ends gracefully.

For me, the most impactful reminder you gave was to be discreet, so they're burning to know, but can't. Love your story time videos.

One month’s notice? You have to be kidding. Even two weeks is too much. It’s an antiquated concept that needs to be done away with. It’s a courtesy that employees aren’t awarded when the tables are turned.

Screw gracefully. Immediate resignation lol

Quitting my job in about 20 minutes. Wish me luck...

I have no plan, but the job sucks so much that I dont give a f*ck

Don’t tell them anything extra

No disrespect bro, but you literally was rich, you wasnt living check to check, you could of been stopped working

1 month? uhh noooo they would hand me a box on a friday afternoon and tell me to leave

Having a plan and being respectful probably the best ones

I'm turning in my notice today....last time I tried giving notice (2 years ago), she cried and begged and then tried intimidating me and IT WORKED..I stayed. I cant do it anymore. I am unhappy and I found an amazing opportunity. I have written a letter and plan to give it to her. I'm debating on if I should do it at the beginning of the day or end.....either way it sucks, its awkward and I feel so trapped.

Being discreet in ALL places expressly w/ the 'plan' - standing firm is a close 2nd...!

Thanks for the value ! Also inspiring to keep growing my RU-vid channel !

Quitting my job in two days. I hope it will go gracefully. Wish me luck!

A month notice? I don't think my new job is going to wait a month for me to be available especially when there's plenty of applicants coming in and out their doors. I agree with you on everything else though and will use some of your tips...thank you ❤

Wow, I salute you. Thank you for this sharing. I am about to quit my job. This is very very helpful.

Just gave this a big 👍🏼 and subscribed. Two great bullet points for me..first, the idea of giving a month and second was giving the option for longer if needed. Thank you for taking the time to share this great info.

2&3 most impactful. Thanks 😊

I just made my first sell with paid traffic, and just want to say you are my #1 reference in this market, , i have only 4 days working with paid ads and not even 1 month in affiliate marketing so thanks for all the massive value, a simple video like that changed my life, keep doing this awesome work!

Awesome sharing! Now I know how to better deal with it!

Another great video John. I really liked how you said to be discrete. Really never thought of quitting in that style.

Thank you for sharing this. It helps a lot.

Your situation is unique. Most companies today appreciate a notice but rarely accept it. The higher up the management pole you reside the more likely you will be asked to leave quickly. They do not want to pay a high earner who has mentally checked out or worse could possibly be going to work for the competition.

Change the title "how to gracefully quit your tech or office job." Most of this is irrelevant to most service industry or hospitality jobs.

Late, but I can't believe your former bosses balls to say, "Or what?" when you asked for a raise. Absolutely obnoxious and even aggressive. Kudos to you for keeping your composure.

great vid/advice, this vid and previous one, thanks a lot. Very helpful, in my situation.

The one month notice was definitely the higher point Thank you for helping me out

Thanks man, quite insightful!

Great video. To the point! Very helpful and useful.

"If you inherited money from your Grand pa..." They don't need to know that!

I love this video. It is very helpful. Thank you. I am going to follow this.

Really enjoyed this, thanks.

Thanks for sharing this! Really needed it. I happened to come across it because it's something I've been thinking about doing lately. Reason being is that it's a 12 hour day job with a rotating schedule, and I always have to wake up at 3am just to make it to work by 5am. It takes up most of my days due to the horrid traffic heading back home and having less time to work on myself as well as enjoying life. It also doesn't pay me well enough, and it's not something I went to college for. I'm not looking for other jobs right now because I'm planning on traveling overseas with my family for two weeks this January. So the timing isn't right at the moment. After I come back to the states, I'll be working where I am for a little while as I apply for other jobs with a normal schedule (Mostly Monday to Friday 9-5 types). Even if I become in between jobs close to summer of next year, I'll still have money saved up that'll last me up to at least a year. I know I'll find something else fast, though.

Excelent video!!! Thank you very much 😄👍

One thing John, you were really good at what you did. Many guys dont have that skill level which makes going solo a REALLY scary proposition.

Great advice!

You are so funny, you made this process 10x easier thank you 😂😂😂

This helped me out a lot. Granted I had to follow a protocol but nonetheless, I kept it honest yet discreet. We ended on good mutual terms.

way to go John, CHEERS!!!!

Very logical points!

How do you keep from being derailed when the boss starts asking questions or being rude/passive aggressive?

Very good advice

amazing. Thanks

NEVER TAKE THE COUNTER OFFER!

You just got a new subscriber!

great info

What an amazing words that I'm afraid off. They'd pay me well with good facilities that anyother of my friends was jealous. But I'm gonna quit my job. I have to planning my next chapter of life.

I left my job back in 2010, came back in 2020. Worst decision i've ever made!! The department has made a 180 degree turn for the worst. Hundreds of staff short, terrible terrible management team. I am obviously looking to walk away again. Never feel like your stuck in a job. You can and will do better.

All the points where great

Co-worker told me yesterday she's going to use her vacation leave then call in, . . . . "I'm retired!"

Awesome stuff John! I heard lots of debate over the years about the 2 week notice and why some people are against it. For me personally, I gave the 2 week notice to my first 2 jobs I had, which I was at both of them for over a year. Now, I’m at my third job and after seeing this, I’m considering the 1 month notice option, since it can get chaotic at times with a small roster of people. Now, I’m currently building my online business and am fully committing to this one path. Speaking of which, do you think you could do a video on shiny object syndrome? I know must new entrepreneurs go through it including myself for almost 2 years 😬😅

According to the labour code where I live your employer does not need to give you more than 2 weeks severance pay, so if you give them 4 weeks notice they can fire you on the spot and only have to give you 2 weeks severance.

What a grea advice

As a social worker hearing this amount per month at a job is mind blowing. 6k/month😳 a social worker job monthly less than 3k🤦🏽‍♀️.

Freedom is the right way..bt its stayble only few people..

thanks!

Cool video man

In my opinion,,is,,,,,be positive,,,because,, every step follows,,,

Awesome video and super helpful! Thanks for the tips!!

I understand about the no stories part but my colleagues are really nosey people. They will ask me why I want to leave and stuff. 🙁 what should I say?

Amazing tips! What would you say if your boss insists to know the reason that made you leave?

Wow your ex boss at the ad agency 😨 thanks for sharing the story. Truly inspiring hearing how that confrontation was handled. I will remember this if I find myself in the same position in the future 🙏

So you still ended up working for a boss you hate but less hours for the same money?

I understand the one month notice, I could see for a big company like amazon or McDonald's, it would be very easy to replace an employee, but for smaller businesses with no good benefits it is hard to find and train and get going again

Hey John did you flip the table ? also didn't you know that there are no youtube gods. So they make some more video's on making or creating ads

Nice video. It’s not all about the money. There are other reasons to consider besides just salary

Awesome video, that is really cool. What do you think set you apart from your co-workers as far as being able to bring in $100k a month for the company you worked for? What things were you better at than other people in similar positions in the company? Thanks I appreciate the video, really great content!

This guy is the worst, I left a few jobs. Two week notice, stay open (worked the hardest the last two weeks), have a counter offer, DO NOT SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT ANYONE OR THE COMPANY, thank everyone for everything

Be discreet!

I have 3 months notice, part of contract. But then again it’s Germany. The shitty part for me is that I just got promoted here and the new project is amazing with crazy deadline but the other opportunity is also amazing

A months notice is a bit much. Can I just resign...

I gave 2 months notice... and now a month left and they have still not found a replacement. I don't know if I can last another month.

Well You sold me!

Interesting Its true

Those are really good advices, but how do I keep discreet if I have a very good relationship with my boss? If I just tell him "that's my business", that will sound harsh to him, because usually we talk freely about our lives.

What’s a job? Lol 😂

Pretty good advice. Sounds like you worked for a smaller company. I would definitely agree with being discreet. It’s not anyone’s business what you intend to do. For me the most impactful thing was your story about getting to a salary that was about 1.5x what you were making and have the confidence in your ability to keep it going. I am currently at a job that I have only been at for 5 months but absolutely hate because it is soooo boring. My goal is to accumulate a years worth of salary (including benefits)within the next 3 months in order to quit in June. That equates to an ambitious goal of $833/ day but I feel confident that I can do it. Thanks John for the great videos!

Hi Sir John when talking about these five categories you discussed, to make short answer is to have a respect when you ask permission everytime if Iam not sure to my boss of course, I will site you an example Sir , good Day sir may I have your permission to start our business as affiliate .

Wow

I gave one month's notice and it was a disaster. It ended up with me walking out after 3 weeks. It would've been better for me to give two weeks.

A+ video

Every thing is falling into place for me to quit and you are a big inspiration.

I told my office manager I was looking, and a week later handed her my two week notice. And she started asking me why, where, which company was I going to to pay me more? And she couldn’t believe it, that someone would pay me more then them.

What do you do to get paid 30k a month?

Always good stuff I am at T and C are you down here?
