Wow, I’m so glad I stumbled across your video! I was also in a very toxic work environment recently and so hearing you share your story made me feel less alone in that regard. I’m so glad that freelancing has proven so successful for you and that you’re in a much better place now, mentally and physically!

@jesschau_ Месяц назад

No toxic work environment is ever worth your health! That was definitely a major lesson that I learned when leaving. Thank you for supporting my channel! I hope you’re in a better place now too!

Yes, quitting corporate can be great, and you can live more how you want, and you don't have to put up with as much BS, but - you don't get paid time off, so taking time out can be tricky, its easy to become a workaholic, you tend to get the crap assignments that no one wants to do, you are no longer part of a team and will be the lone wolf, and it can feel quite isolating, also payrises and bonuses aren't gonna happen. Loved the first 3 years, but its seriously stale 6 years in. It is levelling up for sure, but its hard to keep growing.

@jesschau_ 2 месяца назад

I completely agree with all of this and that’s why I was trying to be as realistic as possible in this video for people who were considering! Especially the workaholic tendencies and no PTO part 😅 however, since I work in a creative field, every day looks different for me and I’m always faced with different projects and challenged to think more creatively. I’m also grateful to have built a network of other entrepreneurs + freelancers that I co-work with so it doesn’t get as stale! It’s definitely a case by case basis + not for everyone but I hope this video can still help those considering 😊

@redfishswimming 2 месяца назад

@@jesschau_ 100%, nice video...fully agree, I also have no regrets :-) I work in Tech, so you tend to get the same repetitive specialist assignments, but its not impossible to get variation.

@sianagopro 4 месяца назад

Great job explaining both sides on video 👏🏻 wasn’t whimsical was very thought out on saving someone from leaving right then and there. Good wording! Never against someone believing the impossible if they were to but your point was nicely informative. I give you a… 👍🏻 would give you a subscribe if I wasn’t already ahhh 🤪

freelance contracted work is the way to go 🫡 (but only if you’re okay with the lifestyle and certain cons!)

I could not stand the pizza parties from "The Man." lol The budget for all those fugazi workplace shenanigans could have gone towards compensating the employees. But of course, if you ever bring up salary inquiries, they'll just say "Didn't we give you guys pizzas parties throughout the year? Was that not enough?" I do not miss the corporate life whatsoever. 🤣 Seems like you went through hell (and then some), so it's great that you took your life back and are finally getting more peace of mind and less toxicity from harmful work environments. Good luck on your path to a better life!!

@jesschau_ 3 месяца назад

The budget was all a write-off as well so it didn’t matter how many pizza/taco/hoagie parties we got if we were still being overworked and underpaid. I don’t miss the corporate life either 😂 Thank you for leaving such a well-written comment and for all of the support on my channel! I sincerely appreciate it. Cheers to living better lives for ourselves! 🥂
