I'm going to quit my job soon

Do it man, I have a decent job right now and I am 20, I am so glad to have the job I do, it's 11$ an hour night shift but its 40 hours a week and room for growth.

If I was doing what you were, i'd quit it, not worth getting yourself upset and out of sorts over if you know you won't be going anywhere good with it.

May God bless you my friend, I pray and hope you can be led to a job you enjoy!

really think people should just say F it and go to the house.. It's time to button down the hatches..

sell ur soul to government while theres still time

I just quit my job as a derivatives broker a few weeks ago, walked away from all this $$ and all those greedy spineless assholes. Best decision I've ever made.

Only problem is, with a background in military intelligence and financial derivatives brokering I'm not sure how to translate that experience...both jobs went from the idea of me doing a great and noble thing to being some of the most soul sucking adventures I could imagine.

Only thing now is... I have no idea wtf to do.

college grad, too late

Do something good. Help setup wholesale organic food outlets in more major cities so people can eat well. Make an all organic fast food chain that is cheap. Break up clear channel so free radio can have some diversity again. Stop monsanto. Make a business to mechanically bypass snooping bullshit on phones. Those are just a few things you could do. Stop the assault on the world and the US by tards? Lower the corp tax rate to 0, boom, the bright light of capitalism shines bright for all to see, China opens a shoe manufacturing plant in the US, etc. Do it!

Most 'jobs' are like mental prisons. Completely de-humanizing and suck the life-force right out of you.

was told today by someone i know they have to take a 1000 dollar a month cut in pay just to keep their job, and their insurance premiums going up about 3 grand a year, one week cut off their vacation pay, he's worked there for almost 20 years, but his boss got a 30 thousand dollar cut in pay,< he said felt was like a slap in the face,< these are people are specialists in their field of work, and someone else i know about to shut down their business..which also means about 45/50 people being out of work.. time to stop feeding the beast..

Hi GGoodwell

In keeping with the spirit of the video posted....
if we can figure out how to communicate with one another, I believe I have a project that might interest you. It's still in the green stage...but coming along and incorporates your skill set.
cheers

Truth! If you can find a way to make your own living, go for it. Otherwise, your a slave. It really does suck the life out of ya.

Find a job first before quitting. Is your only problem that you're working on slow computers? So work on their slow computers. If they demand more output in whatever you're doing, you're working on slow computers there's nothing you can do. Usually it's a lot harder for companies to let people go, so think about your situation before quitting.

the saying is "batten down the hatches" dumdum

Good for you OP

I got sick of the slavery and quit last week.

I was constantly told I wasn't good enough cause I didn't say

"thank you have a nice day" to the assholes

So, I told them to take their job and shove it

You will never ever hear me claiming to be 'smart' may be a lot of things but smart i'll never claim..:)

BUT.... it's kinda the same in theory.. ha ha...

I don't blame you for quitting. Unless you have a fantastic job, most places are not offering enough money to even live as a single person. Even jobs that require skill, training or degrees are only paying around 12 bucks an hour, which is barely enough for groceries and gas. It's ridiculous on so many levels. That's why I just stopped dealing with it myself. I haven't worked since last year and I'm happier.

How do you support yourself?

That's great... Earlier this year when i got laid off along with 12-15 of my coworkers I knew it was likely coming and I was all smiles in my exit interview/meeting with the H.R. Department. The girl who was telling me I was let go was stressing out over having to make notifications of the layoffs so I told her that we should make this the best termination meeting she's ever had and we had a few laughs/smiles. The week I was let go I felt free and was so happy to be free from that corporate prison. : )

-Fight Club
You are not your job.
You're not how much money you have in the bank.
You're not the car you drive.
You're not the contents of your wallet.
You're not your fucking khackis.

LOL..at least you were close..sometimes I see someone write something and I'm like WTF?

I am back in school (again) and I'm getting student loans... I only get about 11K a year from that.
The rest of my money I earn from selling marijuana by the ounce or larger. Obviously not everyone is going to be able to do what I do and most people wouldn't even want to, but it works for me so much better than wasting my time making $15 bucks an hour and living in a city where the average rent is $1500+ a month.
I know a lot of people will think I'm trashy, or a liar, but I'm neither of those things. I'm just tired of paying into a system that's working against me.

I hate the system too, but I don't think drug dealing is the solution.

I don't feel it was the wrong thing to do at all. I feel a freedom I haven't felt in a long time as well. I worried daily about saying the right or wrong thing. It was ridiculous.



I have a professional license and they took a percentage of my pay for not saying the "right" things.

They also started to threaten me with licensing stuff.

They are totally evil.

I was forced to quit but do NOT regret it at all.


I know quitting without a job is bad; but sometimes one has to...


OP, good luck and don't look back. Just know you are doing what is best for you and move on.

I quit my second job today.

he was a decent guy & a hard worker.

but he'd tell me be ready for 7:30am

and wouldnt show up until 8:45am
so disrespectful.

i tell him i can only work till 6:00pm.. because i have a full time job that my family counts on...

and he keeps me out till 7:30pm
so disrespectful.

we would earn tips together- people would literally say "let me get lunch for you guys"
and he pockets the whole thing
so fucking disrespectful.


yeah- i aint your bitch, son.

Make an account and send me a PM. I'm all ears brother.

I can accept that. What you are selling is MUCH safer than alcohol and all the psychotropic drugs that the shrinks/doctors prescribe to people. I would love to relocate and start working in the Medical/Legal Marijuana industry but unfortunately my friends & family are located in the opposite end of the country where those opportunities exist. I woud love to help manage/run a dispensary.

Just a friendly heads up - non-paying members can receive PMs but cannot send them. So unless the individual you are communicating with becomes a paying member, he/she will not be able to send you a PM.

Me neither. It's a job. Jobs aren't solutions, they are just... income. A solution would be on a much bigger scale than one random girl peddling weed. A real solution would be to raise the minimum wage or place some kind of ban on outsourcing, give businesses incentives to lower prices of goods, that sort of thing. Me and my measly operation are not a proposed solution, lol.

We're on the same page here. I need to do something fulfilling and something that gives back to the community around me, just have to find the right open door, or kick a few in if I can't find anything in the next few weeks haha.

Good ideas though, I'd love to be able to have an evolving job like that. Working to stem off the erosion of our world, one subdivision at a time. I suppose.
