I QUIT my warehouse job of 12 Years PART 2 

40 here. Been working as a contract-to-hire for almost 10 years now at the same place. $164,000 in student loan debt. Never married, no house, no retirement or savings. $51k salary with a master degree in cybersecurity. Have around 20 awards for excellent service at the company, and 14 I.T. certifications. Been looking for a better job for 5 years, no one ever calls back. Throw some of that good luck my way. Glad to hear things improved for you.

Congrats on making things better for your family! I love the debt free part! Good on you!

I miss when there was some level of professionalism no matter what field you are in. People just aren't as great as they used to be so that will also effect the job market and everything.

I work at a bakery distribution. Love the job but hate my lead. She berates me almost 10 times a day for stupid stuff yet she lets "her girls" get away with m*rder. Tired of the bs and just saving as much before retirement. Hard to find another job here so i just grin and bear it.

I took a 60% paycut to go make $25 an hour at a company that saw me as expendable. I knew they saw me as that, and i gave the effort they deserved. Know your worth. Dont give them everything when their idea of a bonus or raise is a quarter or a $30 Walmart gift card

sometimes you have to quit to make your life better, my health is MORE important than a TOXIC work environment.

paying morgage in less than 10 years is really good

i have worked in warehouses for a long time. everyone one is toxic. you have people talking about other coworkers. then the other day a new employee was smoking weed outside on his break and someone rated him out to the manager. right now we are working 8am-430pm. but in about 2-3 weeks we are moving into brand new warehouse and everyone has to work 2nd shift 230pm-11pm. and i havnt worked 2nd shift since about 1998

Its tough. Everywhere in the world its the same story. 17 years at a factory 12 years supervisor. Worked hard for 5years, 110% commitment, minimal holidays, no sick days off etc. Middle management is where im at. Its stressful and its hard. Pressure is always on. Huge turnover in employees, 80% of workers coming in dont make it and leave. Its not for everyone. Money is good for everyone, work is hard and long hours. Im not there to make it easy nor keep people happy. I rotate positions and try to be fair in workload and responsibilities.I try to do my best to be productive and make sure everyone goes home safely without injury as a priority. At the end of the day im there to do my job as my supervisors and owners are riding my back.

You just described every job in America right now.

I heard about the bad management in your last video. In my place of work it's the same crap and I wanna quit as well. Just not easy to find a new good job with the same pay. But I mentally quit that job a long time ago since new management came in and ruined everything and turned it into a toxic work environment.

I stopped caring and taking pride in my werehouse job when lazy people kept getting rewarded. Hard workers would get punished with extra work for the same pay. Now i act like im incompetent and watch others get mad and quit because they get forced to work 70 hours a week because they're USEFUL.

You actually did pretty good considering you did it in 12 years, most people work 20 plus years with nothing to show for it

As a man in his early twenties I stumbled upon this channel. I’ve been watching a few of your videos and enjoy all the knowledge you’ve shared and perspectives of different topics.

I'm starting mcdonald's at 62 years of age next week. Want to trade 👞 👞s with me.? 🍔 🍟

Age of imitation. People pretend that they are competent and pretebd that they are interested. In all walks of life. And its not just imitation. Its imitation from imagination.

Make a plan. Set goals. Work hard, work smart and relentlessly pursue your goals. Make adjustments as needed if needed. The journey is rarely linear, but freedom is the ultimate goal and is achievable.

Agree 100% about the hard work hasn't done anything for me except put more on my plate that others can't handle even though we are paid the same. If someone does get praise or a promotion it's always the supervisor and usually teh raise isn't worth the extra stress that comes with it. Only been at my place for a month and already learned everything they told me is BS and am ready to quiet quit just do my 4 years and get out while I look for another horrible place to work at for more $ until that 4 years is up.

what do you do for a living now? I really struggle to find any path, anything I could possibly do.

I feel very fortunate. Been at my warehouse job for 9 years now. It’s a small company, about 30 employees. Started at $15/hr now I’m at $32.50/hr. Nearly debt free and going to buy a house in 2025. It’s been toxic at times, but overall it’s been a great place to work and I enjoy what I do.

Work Places are Adult High Schools. I work in warehouse and responsible for receiving for the company. I’m college educated and I enjoy the work but can’t stand other people that are lazy… I’m looking to go forward and move to something else currently.

I've been at my warehouse for almost 4 years. At first it was amazing. Working everyday. Overtime was great. Now we get no overtime and then they ask those that work to pick up slack for the same pay as the numbnuts who don't do shit all day.

5:02 I don't have any statistics to back this up, but I believe that many of us in our twenties were adults in age, but not necessarily in mental and emotional maturity.

Im in a 30 year mortgage amortization. One has no idea how long it takes to pay down a mortgage. Many people think - can I afford the payment, I think, how can I pay it off.

Lol This sounds like a typical union job, where a few people work their asses off and the rest of the people sleep and hide all night and the supervisors never come around and when they do come around the lazy people are the first ones to be in the supervisors face putting on a show because they network and always know when the Boss is going to come around. And it's hard to get rid of union workers because they are protected by the 3 strike rule so they pretty much know that they don't have to do anything or the minimum.You have to remember this rule: First you're shocked, then you're pissed, then you have to say fuck it This is how it is! once you make it to rule 3 you'll be okay 😂😂

Entry level engineer for a year now, graduated last year as well making $67k salary. Hopefully my job stays professional since it’s in the DoD industry. Even here I worry that experience and merit won’t be enough, and I’m probably going to prepare to get another higher paying position by next year.

dude, I live in Australia. Granted, I live in a million dollar house, have about 200k in savings and could possibly retire at 37. I can't afford it really. Cost of living here is high, I have a 6 year old kid that needs things, I have a wife that needs things so I'm stuck on the corporate hamster wheel for at least another 10 years. Love the fact you can retire after a warehouse job with no mortgage and even with kids. Fantastic work. My kid loves overseas holidays and new bikes for Christmas, etc. so it's much harder for me to "quiet quit". Not even sure I want to because I like making money but I guess if I win the lotto I can quit one day. You are an inspiration for when I win the lotto. Thank you!

Mind sharing your plan? Thanks for the wisdom

Smart strategy! I did the same, corporate environment is doomed.

This is the reason why I bought a house too, yes buying a house is more then just mortgage but in longterm it will pay off while renting is a endless way to be paying paycheck to paycheck

Wow, you made way more than I’m making now at IKEA Japan DS as a forklift driver. I’m working too much too hard for less money. Ikea ( well don’t know about IKEA in North America ) is cheap on pay for their warehouse workers. There’s a high turnover rate there and I praise them for leaving. Tho as a foreigner it’s more challenging finding another job like warehouse in Japan. Language is hard.

Lmao that last bitching video you did was so real and entertaining that I subbed

I recently got laid off from my BS hazmant tanker driver job.....hope I find something better

where do work now

You quit your warehouse job & now making millions on youtube 👍

Found you at Legion Of Men channel.

I’m interested in knowing with a combined income of $100k 10 yrs ago what enabled you to replace your income and “retire”. Now I’m totally guessing and I could be out of pocket let me know. You stopped working and since your monthly nut is low you’re just living off your wife’s checks now. 🤷‍♂️

I have to be at my warehouse job tomorrow at 6 am 😢

Legion of Men dud a reaction to this video.i watched 3x🎉

What company was this?

I don't know your life story, but I am only a few years younger than you, and I think you should give yourself a lot of slack for not having a life plan in your 20's. For me, most of my life in my 20's was Hell because I bought a house at 21 to escape douche family members and the U.S. Job market became garbage in the late 00's and remained that way for a long time. It was almost ten years after that that higher paying jobs popped up again. YES, there were some in my area, but you had to fall into employment with them through blind luck/filling a quota. My dad talked to men from other parts of the country that echoed that $10 to $14 an hour jobs were all that were out there. So even though I was motivated through the roof in my 20's there were no companies willing to train you in a trade anymore and no "REAL" jobs. Now I get to play catch up on funding retirement.

How do you pay off maybe 30 years mortgage.been an employer

I'm supposed to be at my part time Home Depot job right now but I called out due to heavy thunderstorms. They hate when I take off. I may even get fired. But I just don't care anymore. Been there four months. It's an okay job, I guess. But in some ways, it's intolerable. My house is paid off, so is my good car, I have no credit cards or college loans or any debt. I just need a little part time job to further pursue my coin collecting hobby. I have a girlfriend and together we make things work, she does her part, I do mine. In a year and a half I collect social security. We'll see how that goes.

More relatable topics from you man that was a good video

I thought someone I knew really quit their job 😂

Past month I keep seeing videos like yours popping up. Without searching for em. “I am richawd” and you see to be making a new lane on RU-vid

Unfortunately the way companies treat employees can also be contributed to the debt our country is in. Our country's at an all time high for inflation and companies can't afford to loose money and hold sentimental value on employees. People are treated like business as a direct reflection to debt and money. The same way I can't afford to miss a week of work right now a business simply can't afford to care in depth about every employee just incase one were to get fired, you're not held back by emotion. It's purely profit and prosper. It's unfortunate but it's the reality of most businesses in America right now, some can barely afford to even pay their employees higher because products costs are so high, shipping is high, rent and land taxes are high. There's not much room to loose money anymore.

Where did you work?

If you received full VA Disability in your 20s then I undestand how you retired at 40 years old.

I'm disappointed in your videos. It seems like you are putting up a working class grift. I thought maybe you wanted genuine happiness and solutions for everyone.

Nicer 😊

Your wife still works there though

Hate to break it to ya, but if you're in ya 40's and spent the last 12yrs in a warehouse, guess where ya gunna go next..? Warehouse/Factory.

Kudos to you. You took care of your business. 🫡
