Yeah, it wasn't so much that I was in a rage... but I got a job at a big insurance company that turned out to be complete BS. Learned that I was the 5th person in less than 3 years! I spent most of my time FAXING resumes. 😆😆 It was the nineties!
@@mattb1331 in that scenario absolutely. sometimes there are "good" job that just cant provide enough and so you quit to progress in life. ive worked at a company i loved but they couldnt pay much and no benefits because they were too new and not well established. typically this situation usually occurs in blue collar work. white collar work is fairly hostile.
Sometimes you have really great managers but it’s a base-level job and the job itself sucks and there’s no hope of advancement and it’s not in a field you like, so you do quit the job.
Friend of mine told me of how him and of his co-workers caused the firm to lose over 50% of their value, they (the managers) kept abusing their power over the lower employees, piling all their work on them, then one day, they gave them the task of doing the yearly financial report, but the employees had enough, they only included all the expenses that they knew the managers had caused (including all the fancy dinners and such that they had normally added as "business expenses", and send it directly to the board for the meeting, instead of to the managers for review, and then they all quit on the same day (the day OF the meeting, and they all had used the majority of the time to find new employment), needless to say, the board ripped the managers a couple of new a**holes when they found out (it was basically embezzelment and misuse of company funds).
I rage applied over the summer due mental health needs and then just quit my job of 5 years because they could not accommodate my needs. Now I am working part tine, have time with my kids and my boss is wonderful...a reverend actually ❤
Actually, the original term dates way back to the 1900s labor unionization movement- it's called "working to rule." Back then corporations relabeled and villanized it too.
In some situations you may be right, but the cashier who is paid to ring out customers and tidy up their lane is paid to do exactly that. Them texting their friends and shooting tik toks instead of doing what they were hired for is not "acting their wage".
Yep, don't ever tell me that you're "denying" me time off. I show up for work every day five and sometimes six days a week for months at a time without taking time off. If I decide to take time off, i WILL NOT be there and my employer will either deal with it or find someone with my particular set of skills to replace me.
Yeahhhhh I like not working for greedy bosses. Last boss was decent, just give a couple weeks notice and it's all good. Studying engineering though, corporate life sounds like it'll suck. If I apply for time off more than 6 months in advance, it gets accepted, then cancelled shortly before, I'm still going lol.
@@boostaddict_ I'm a retired engineer. In my fifty years, I never asked for vacation time. I told them when I was going to be on vacation. Corporate life isn't all that bad for engineers. Usually, you're working with and for engineers and everything is cool. I had a few managers who were asses but I could count them on two or three fingers. I've had some really great managers, too. That said, engineers are usually exempt from overtime rules and are salaried employees. There are times when (sometimes massive) overtime is necessary. It's not a 40 hour job but it's not always more than 40, either. Start/stop time was irrelevant. When I had a doctor's appointment, or whatever, I would just go. In most jobs I've had, I didn't tell anyone I was leaving. It wasn't necessary. We were adults and if the job got done, how we got there wasn't really important.
Our work told a guy that if he wants to be at his child’s birth they needed to reschedule the induced labor. You would not believe how shocked they were when he didn’t show up to work lol
My husband's grandmother died. His employer told him he should have planned better & gave him points for being ABSENT. they're on a point system. Call off sick etc in a year & you're FIRED. They get NO sick time.. only vacation that must be scheduled 2 weeks in advance. How do you SCHEDULE DEATH
I did this in June. Told my boss if she didn't give me what I asked for this time I was getting a second job ( and I had so many interviews after rage applying) and wouldn't be able to work full time for her anymore, but that I still would work a few days a week. She was so enraged she took me off the schedule for 10 days for my "mental health" and was never contacted by her again. All because after 4 years i finally stood up for myself and she made it so if I didn't ask to be put on the schedule again she was never going to. So I didn't ask lol. Even though all during covid she was telling me how essential I was and if it wasn't for me she didn't know how she would cope. And then when I wouldn't give her what she wanted all of a sudden I was worthless. Hmmm. A few months later I noticed the restaurant was closed some evenings which never happened before lmao. So I might have been worthwhile after all.
I do not see from my spanish perspective why you should gift a second of your life to your work. If you are hired 8 hours, you do 8 hours with extreme diligence, professionality and everything you want, but 8 hours only. Not 1 second more or 1 second less than that. We are people and have a life outside our jobs. Even more: we work for our lives, we do not live for our jobs.
And why is it “rage-applying” if we decide it’s time to find another job ASAP? I think it’s weird we have to come up with new labels for what should be considered normal workplace behavior, like setting boundaries, not working unpaid hours, and looking for another job if we’re unhappy.
Corporate america didn't come up with the phrase "quiet quitting" tiktok did. So your primary point is bullshit. Also "quiet quitting" went far beyond simply "doing what you were hired to do" it went to the point of efectively being a useless worker, yet still expecting to be considered for advancement.
@Macca95 useless worker? In no definition or explanation of "quiet quitter" I have seen so far, has it been anything other than those who only do what is in their job description. Which is inherently different from useless worker. Unless... "useless worker" is now a new buzzword with a totally different meaning now?
An old manager of mine once yelled at me for someone else's slip up and ended the rant with " Indeed is looking good right now, you should start looking for a new job". Three weeks later when I came in to hand in my two weeks , he tried to give me the promotion n raise I was promised four months earlier.
An old manager of mine threatened to fire me in front of my whole department. Without thinking, I responded, "Go ahead," while staring her dead in the eyes. She didn't expect a challenge and walked off in a huff. It was beautiful. I did leave shortly after, and then got written up for sexual harassment at the new job because a colleague told me a dirty joke that was overheard by another coworker. When I asked why I was being written up too, I was told, "Because you laughed." I hate management.
I'm finally in a position that I can move down to part time, Monday-Wednesdays. I now have 4 days off a week. I make a bit less but can pay my bills. Worth it because I am so much happier. TiME is the new raise!!!!
A bunch of my coworkers quit and told management how they didn't feel appreciated. Management eventually listened and gave the rest of us raises and better work life balance. So you are doing your coworkers a benefit by leaving.
@@marcusbrown188 That's debatable. All you give is your word. In reality, we have no idea if you are even telling the truth - especially when you literally can't offer them "something better" when you don't actually know their current situation...
That is what the majority of people who leave one employer for another have been doing for decades, we just didn't call it "rage applying" we just called it "career advancement".
Bullshit. Only a few people have been doing that for decades. Why else have boomers always been telling us that the way to career advancement is to stay at the same company forever?
@@americandissident9062 because their old - in their “time” they had pensions. Staying at a job longer meant more benefits. Pensions and retirement plans don’t exist since 401k & IRAs gave companies the cop out to not offer real retirement plans. They are brainwashed and still stuck in their old ways. It’s not a “one off”… only for ppl who don’t know how to use the system to their advantage and listen to ppl who do not know how to change with the times.
Quit my last job at a metal factory doing 9-5, but quit due to constant complaints of not doing enough, because the bare minimum was to be a complete workhorse. They sure as heck wanted me to do my best while shamelessly removing my night shifts from time to time (it paid more) and out of my 5 weeks of vacation they decided for me when i should take vacation because god forbid i choose when to have time off. I am now at a new job that pays more, i have to work normally only 2 days (5 days off) with free food and the work is 3-6x easier and my boss is my mom 🙂
I counter you that the 2 weeks notice is not nearly so much for the company as it is for coworkers that you don't hate. ( Unless it's contractually assured).
My school wanted 4 weeks, because I was a certified teaching assistant. I gave them two because my teacher was quitting, and instead of supporting me running the classroom until a suitable licensed teacher could be found, they were going to put another teacher assistant over me who has that stereotypical Karen attitude and zero flexibility when it comes to the schedules. (In a classroom with very intense physical disabilities that's not the best) Took me two weeks to find a job just as a teaching aide, for $2 more, with more hours at a daycare right down the road. My last day was the same as my teacher's. When I gave my notice the VP put his hand on my shoulder and said " because you only gave two weeks, we might not hire you back". I removed his hand and said "that's the point, you're lucky I gave you two."
Unfortunately, in my field in my area, not giving 2-week notice means you're not rehireable not just by that hospital system, but also by ANY other hospital system for TEN YEARS.
Did that 2.5 years ago. I was a manager for 6 years. New boss came in at year 4. Micromanager but I dealt with it for a year. After that it got worse so I started to look elsewhere. Got a new job and became a manager again after 2.5 years. Better pay, closer to home, amazing team and supportive boss.
Did it, got fed up, started rage applying, came out of it with exactly what was said, new job, better pay, better work life balance, etc, etc. One of the best decisions i ever made.
When my coworker told us about her boyfriend quitting and he didn't have another job lined up, I just shook my head. Maybe he wasn't making enough, but making something while you look for something better is making nothing while you're waiting to get a new job.
I tell every single person at work that says "I want to quit" to get a job lined up first. Everything is so much more difficult with no income. Even if it's a shitty job you hate having money even if it mostly just goes to bills is better than having no money and your bills stacking up.
My old boss made me come into work when I was legit sick af lol and I worked with cranes. I got fed up and left now I get way more pay and perks. Lol rage applying works
Very true. Idk about all fields but the one I work in is in such a good place for employees I’ve just started straight up telling hiring managers I have lots of options. Not in a disrespectful way, but I make it clear I need certain things from a job and if they’re not in a position to offer that there’s no real reason to stick around.
I did this.... I worked at an OBGYN office. I loved my job, hated my office manager. As soon as I left, the entire practice went downhill. Karma's a bitch
I just started at a therapy clinic no less than a week ago and I already hate my bitch of an office manager. Horrible, mean-spirited, hateful woman, left me dumbfounded how rude she was. Yells at me all day for EVERYTHING. Funny enough, I left my old job because I had TWO bitchy managers that slowly drove me insane with their unreasonable demands and petty attitudes who also yelled at me the whole fucking day. I thought this new job would be different, only to find out I’m right back to square one. I always seem to consistently strike out with insane managers that want my blood. I’m tired..
Yup, that's common sense. I quit my last job because of low hours and bad management. They tried to blame me for stolen items and lost money, and to prove them wrong, i showed them pictures, times, and names of people stealing. The manager got real quiet, and i gave my resignation letter on the spot. I had already been accepted at a better job the day before.
I'm experiencing this right now. 27 applications in 24 hours, walked away with 6 offers, turned my notice in this past Friday.😂😂And not to mention the confidence boost.
Don’t usually comment but here we go. I worked a place at minimum wage for horrible hours that clashed with uni studies and made my life miserable. Managers were terrible people, swore at customers, swore at all of us, berated us over little things, so I applied to everywhere nearby. Got an offer for more flexible hours, a super chill manager, better crowd of customers, and got a pay rise of nearly an extra 50% per hour. Got the new job confirmed, did two shifts without saying to my previous workplace and then handed in my notice the next day because that same shift my manager berated me for things she had done and not told me anything about. Anecdotally, completely worth it. My income is leagues higher, I feel happy to go into work and it’s a generally much better life situation now
I used to work for a drug store called Big B drugs, (which later got bought out by CVS if you are wondering) One Saturday morning I woke up and I said to myself I am done with this place. I had a shift later that afternoon, but that wasn't happening. I walked myself into the store that morning and looked for the manager I couldn't stand because I wanted to quit on him. Unfortunately he was off until like Monday and I ended up quitting on the assistant manager. I told him that I hated to do it to him but I really wanted to quit on Mark (the store manager) he tried to convince me to wait until Mark was back and quit on him.
Lol I never understand how managers at jobs paying minimum wage think they can add on an extra layer of toxic work environment. You literally pay the MINIMUM... meaning anyone can work somewhere else for the same amount without your unnecessary drama
Your comment reminded me of this: Years ago, I took a second job in order to get caught caught up on some bills. It was at a small pizza chain. The owner was also the manager, and he was the worst boss I ever had. Not just to employees, but he was lousy with customer service too. One time, he loudly chewed me out for something a customer innocently did, when she was still present. (During a slow time of day, she decided to make her "to go" order into a "dine in" order, and ate it at a table that was intended for people who were waiting for their own "to go" orders. Not one customer was affected by her choice, and she was our most regular customer. She heard him yell at me. She mouthed "I'm sorry" at me as she left, and I never saw her return.) Anyway, I stayed about three months. I walked out during a busy shift after being bullied by him one time too many. At the time, my 90 days seniority was more than anyone else working there. He was that bad.
@@AlexeiArntzen Believe me, these people are total losers that completely hate their lives and are mad at everyone else for it. They only want some underling they can take it out on. You’re not just an employee, you’re their punching bag too. And you’re replaceable, so they don’t care if they drive everybody away being unprofessional bringing in their personal drama, there will always be a new punching bag they can abuse.
I used to work in food service and it literally pushed past the breaking point. I did exactly this and within a month I was hired at a temp agency that landed me in my law firm that I now am fully employed by with pto, and benefits straight out the gate. It's great
Corporations pushed for “right to work “ so it was easier to let someone go but now they complain that their employees use it to their advantage. I have given a Two day notice (I quit to-day)
I did it with the company I used to work at. Worked there for 3 years and constantly applied places. Then Covid hit so I was just happy with having the job I had. Then landed a dream job at a company I love.
I didn't know this was a thing but I've done it. About 6 months ago I got over looked for a promotion for the 5th time. My manager said that I was too valuable where I was at and she couldn't afford to lose me in my current position. I was basically doing half of her job for her as well as doing my own work. About a month later another promotion was up for grabs and I told her I wanted it. She responded with "I'm giving it to my daughter because she needs the money". I started rage applying to other job and had several interviews. One of my co-workers found out and told our managers boss what was happening. In the end I got the promotion, doubled my salary and am now living comfortably with my husband and daughter.
A good manager will know that it's better to lose you in your current position than lose you for good. A lot of them only spring into action when it's too late. Don't offer me things when I hand in my notice, unless that was the aim it's too late at that point
What was your position or job? Wish others would divulge to help each other move up or around bad management & the glass ceilings. 😓💰🙏🏾🤝👏🏽👏🏽 I’m entering University & the workforce after 27 years as a homemaker. So much adjusting to do! 🫣
@@br8979Outstanding comment. If you can suddenly move the earth for me when I tell you I'm quitting, you could have done it before. You chose not to but another company decided it was worth it. It's. Too. Late.
@@sandycheeks1580hat field/trade/career/etc. are you going into? Advice without knowing your specific scenario is to not let them gaslight you into thinking they're the only option. ALWAYS job hunt. Constantly ask people in your related field "How do you like it where you're at?" "If you don't mind, how's the pay over there?" That'll help you get a rough idea of average pay/benefits across the market. But again, it's a rough idea. This part is going to sound stupid but, after getting their answer, treat it like a lie. People are weird about talking up their job because they don't want to admit they made a bad decision and/or are in a shit position. Do your own research on the company. Google reviews, glass door, etc. The truth will be somewhere in the middle. Sign on bonuses are a huge red flag. Once you realize a sign on bonus isn't a benefit but is actually just a company having to pay people to even give it a shot and hang around for a while, it makes more sense. Bottom line though is, f*** the company. Always look for the better venture. Constantly keep an eye out for a better job. And apply regularly. Whatever current company you might be at doesn't give 2 flying f***s about anything but their bottom line. They also generally have plenty of money and are consistently improving their lives. You should always do the same. Don't let them make you feel bad for bettering yourself because, "We need you, though." They only need you because you make their lives easier. You come first. TL;DR: If you aren't already at the very top of your career choice, then you should still be regularly job hunting. Don't get comfortable at the bottom.
@Sandy Cheeks I was the assistant manager for a large chain gas station. I had worked for the company 6 years starting at the bottom. I moved through the ranks but got stuck at assistant manager. After I gave up on the company and tried finding another job my district manager promoted me to a general manager so I wouldn't leave the company. This company has been expanding for awhile and their are a lot of opportunities and good benefits. It is definitely a worthwhile job. I only gave up on it because of the manager I had. I'm very happy in my new position and glad that someone thought I was worth it to go behind my manager's back to contact our district manager and convince him that he couldn't afford to lose me as an employee.
Did this at the end of 2021. Interviewed and put in my 2 weeks during the PTO I took for the holidays. 1 year into the new job got an epic promotion. If you're not happy where you are, go somewhere else!
Did this leaving my last job. My original boss left, and instead of promoting my coworker who had experience, they hired someone from outside that claimed a higher degree. He had ZERO idea what he was doing. I put up with the incompetence for 2 months before I started blasting my resume out. Found shorter commute, better pay, and the best kind of supportive boss I could ever ask for. Found out after I left that the new guy had lied on his resume. He was let go, but not before the rest of my department had also jumped ship.
Was working 7am- 6pm shifts once upon a time, Monday thru Saturday @ one of the most toxic jobs I have ever had - giving me no time for other interviews. Finally, I requested a day off to secretly schedule an interview on that day and my narcissistic boss was quietly livid and pulled me into the office to tell me it was “unacceptable” that I would request a day off. Luckily, that interview was the turning point and I was able to finally leave that other job. Feel for those in a similar position; take risks and regain control of your life.
I was fed up with my management at my last job. Rage applied for about 30 jobs, did 7 interviews, and got 2 solid job offers with better benefits and pay. I started my new job last week and I am so much happier where I am! It's gonna be great.
@@Angelsdaydreams It was a hybrid method. I scheduled as many as I could to be virtual and during my lunch hour. Those I did in person, I just told my boss were past due medical appointments (annual check up, dental, and an eye exam) that I needed to catch up on. I even took some of my use or lose sick time to make sure I wasn't shorted on hours.
At my last job, I was asked to apply. Basically already had the job, just had to do the paperwork. Anytime my new bosses tried to intimidate, my reply was... " Do what you got to do. I wasn't even looking for a job when I got this one." Shut them down immediately.
Lol my husband did that when he started getting treated like that. Took a bit of a pay cut, BUT works less than 3 minutes from home instead of 30+, has an actual work/life balance and feels like he can be a dad and husband instead of just a provider and is WAY less stressed. Small pay cut, huge life win
This is something that you don't even need to be in a bad place to do, just find out if you can be better, the only difference is the spirit and how much notice you are going to give. If I change my job I think I would give a 1 month notice.
Birth of your child leave can actually be FMLA protected for up to 12 weeks (unpaid but you're allowed to cover with accrued leave), and they cannot deny you, so long as you meet specific hurdles like working 1250 hours per year, having been with the company for at least a year, and the company has 50 or more employees. You'll need sufficient documentation to prove you had a child when you return. Don't let these parasites steal your precious moments.
If the government really cared about its people, it wouldn't be raising taxes so much and you could afford a family like you grandpa did as a high school grad.
@dan smith 1. Taxes have nothing to do with your ability to afford living in today's economy. 2. Taxes haven't been raised that much, but the raises we've been seeing largely stem from the tax cuts and jobs act. When it was passed, the cuts that went to businesses and business owners were permanent cuts. The cuts that went to individuals and families were designed to phase out over time, and be completely gone by 2025. 3. The cost of goods and services has been rising due to inflation, and companies have taken full advantage of this in order to bolster their profits beyond inflation. You have many executives of public companies who have explicitly stated on earnings calls that they're using inflation as an excuse to increase prices beyond the increase in their input fixed and variable costs. 4. Politicians have done nothing to intervene with these companies using inflation as cover to extort more from the citizens who are already being stretched incredibly thin, because we live in a consumer economy, where people are taught to spend, value things that don't matter, and end up living paycheck to paycheck no matter how much they earn. If you want to argue that politicians in Washington don't give a shit about us, fine, I absolutely agree with you there. However, let's not make stuff up. There's no need to.
I rage applied because the management at my last job was horrible. One of my friends actually managed to get me an interview at the company he works for and I ended up getting an offer from them. 30% salary increase, better and more respectable title, good work/life balance, comparable benefits, much more lax work environment, quarterly bonuses, and despite actually having more work to do, I actually enjoy doing it because its a lot less menial tasks and actually has meaning behind it. Rage applying is absolutely worth it and loyalty to companies generally doesn’t have the same benefit that it used to have. Chances are that you are going to be better off leaving and starting new somewhere else.
I tell people i work with to always stay appraised of their market value. Theres nothing worse than working for less than youre worth simply for being comfortable.
I'm a baker and I rage applied last year too and I was surprised how fast people responded honestly getting paid more and my mental health is so much better now
Yup rage applied for my current job. Best change of my life. Went from crying routinely at work to never crying with more pay and way better work life balance
I was told that if you want to grow in your career, you should always be quietly on the market. It doesn't hurt to know what's out there so you can make informed choices about your work-life and career growth. Don't burn bridges but staying in a job where you're miserable adds more stress in the workplace for yourself and everyone around you. I was also told to model decisions I want my daughter to emulate.
Did this 4 years ago, can’t be happier. Was upset by the way I was being treated at the previous job. Work was slow that day so I started spamming my resume out to jobs that sounded better. Ended up in an acquisition and the owner of my own business.
I was also recently. The same day, i called another company asking for a job. told me to come tomorrow morning got hired next day with better pay and benefits. After a week, the old company called me asking if i wanted to come back.
I did this sooo many times and on indeed they have quick apply I applied to almost 150 jobs and I have my job today which I love . Never settle for less folks you are not a slave
I’m only 17 with my first job but I love it. I work as a dishwasher and I work with some of the greatest people ever. I enjoy working as much as any of my other hobbies. I just hope my career job will be this great in the future.
I was rage applying a few months ago. I was fed up of everyone around me getting raises when I had not gotten anything in the 4 years I was there. Then they demoted me because my schedule was too "limiting" because I had to leave an hour early for class one day a week. Then they promoted 2 guys who didn't deserve it and gave them 4 day work weeks. Now I went from being an assistant dining room manager to being an assistant director of dining services making twice as much as before.
This is exactly what I did. Former manager quite literally was so bad nearly every senior employee left because of her. My red flag indicator was when our best supervisor quit on the spot when she would not give him time off to visit his terminally ill father in the hospital.
My manager told me once, "While you're here, I own you." 2 weeks later he had one less employee in a very hard to fill position. My new position better fits my skill set, has better benefits, and MUCH better pay. Oh, and my boss isn't a douch.
My boss was actually a very nice person, the way the work was structured sometimes wasn't, he called me on the weekend informed me of something that would not go in my favour at all (this all happened while I was on vacation) he informed me on Sunday afternoon, by the time I got in Monday morning I handed him my two weeks and I had another job because I was already advising for another company and they hired me on the spot. my cards just so happened to line up for this one.
@@bigslime9354 I was looking for a job when I found this one. And Its not even 7 and I'ma start applying I had two notifications when I woke up u and my boss telling me how fucked I am today because now I have to do somebody else's work because they called off and they can still have a Friday off like eat my ass. Tell that motherfucker to come in tomorrow and do his own shit.
2015 I was tired of being treated like a robot or work monkey. I rage applied and for once in my life I had companies “fighting” over me. I submitted so many apps had all phone interviews and told them “This company is offering this, can you do better?” It’s an amazing feeling I encourage my kids to do the same. Don’t be treated like you’re nothing, because you’re not. Your time and life are too valuable to waste at POS jobs. Nurses especially they never get enough credit, money, appreciation etc. ❤
I had to quit my job just after 2 months of working because they wanted me to shift to sales, when I was actually hired for an HR role. The reason they gave me was that they wanted someone who had experience( I was a fresher), they gave me the ultimatum that if I had to stay I had to stay as a sales executive or resign. So, I resigned. They knew I was a fresher still they choose to ignore it at that time and when it was convenient for them, they decided not to keep me. I was unemployed for 2 months, then started my new job with half of the salary amount I was getting before ( couldn't complain because I am a fresher and I will not be given that much). I am just waiting to finish the 2 year mark and apply somewhere else for a better position and better pay.
I rage applied for a few weeks before I was laid off but I was fortunate to have a small cushion that allowed me to keep going to interviews until I found a job with almost the same pay, better benefits, WAY better vacation/PTO and most importantly it comes with none of the negatives of my old job. I didn’t realize how sufficiently traumatized I was by my last work environment until I started my new job.
Did that in 1999, after landing a promotion five pay levels up from my previous one, but only receiving a 5% pay raise due to company policy. I was living in Massachusetts, where there’s so much opportunity. I started applying over the weekend after I said yes to the new position and received offers within two weeks from other companies!
Previous job: Got all my work done on time, _plus_ clearing out my coworker's assignments after he moved to a different rôle. Result? Straight "meets expectations" across the board at my next performance review, and a 3% raise in a year of 7% inflation. So yeah, I "rage applied" (that wasn't the only problem, by far, but it was a big one). New job: 20+% pay increase, more autonomy, fully remote, and a boss who respects me. The old saying goes "the best time to look for a job is when you have one." So true.
yeah. Lots of older people say stay loyal to the company and itll reward you? fuck that. They dont care how much effort you put in except when it affects their bank account, and giving you a raise also affects their bank account so that's an obvious nope.
I rage applied last week to two new jobs. No dice on getting the position but the quote I peddle to all my friends is "Spite is the greatest motivator"
Just did that recently, and I now actually look forward to going to work, and my days at work just seem to fly by since I'm having fun while I'm there.
@@Lopler2 oh yeah! I remember you! Just been busy with work and keeping up on all my continuing education classes for my job. I am also about to be engaged 😁
I did quit quieting for two years. Two years. I worked probably 5 hours a week. They laid me off, gave me severance, and then I found a job that pays more and treats me better.
Back around 2015 my SO was in a super toxic work environment and to combat it I told him every time his boss or someone said/did something messed up, he’d apply to another job. A few months later he got a much closer job with better pay and much less toxicity.
Yeah, when I realized I couldn't afford the peanuts this so called charity was paying me I rage applied for a job elsewhere. Strangely enough, so did everyone else in our office! I had a new job the following week and I didn't even know what to do with all the extra money! Hint: When a "charity" has an office building like the Chrysler building but they want to pay you peanuts... something is seriously wrong!
Did this in Jan 2020 and was the best decision I ever made. Changed careers entirely and I’ve never been happier I finally followed my dream. Actually kind of thankful my ex-boss was a jerk so I had the push to go chase my new path
My old manager left and she was great. I had been applying for jobs here and there just to see what was out there, but now it's like an everyday thing. The way your supervisor treats you makes a huge difference, even if you're doing the same work.
