We have had 6 people quit over the past 3 months with no replacements hired. We are told we are not being team players, if you refuse to take on the extra work. Oh well, I am getting ready to retire, so I don't care.
Managers keep announcing how those employees are leaving for fantastic opportunities. I asked why our company isn't providing fantastic opportunities, so people don't have to elsewhere. . LOL

I had an employer lead me on for 4 months. They are "so busy" and "need to get back to me on projected capacity". They want me to provide my own PC for work. They are incredibly cheap and a sweatshop. So glad I dodged that bullet.

I've always found that it's a good idea to drive by the company you're interested in after hours and on weekends to see how many cars are in the parking lot. A full parking lot on the weekends or evenings is a very bad sign of them having a good work/life balance.

This is a very under-covered topic! If you have devote a fraction of your life to work, don’t let it expand beyond that fraction. Life is way too short for that.

During an interview a few years back I was asked: "So, what do you usually do when you get home?". Silly me thought they wanted to know about my hobbies and what I liked doing in my free time. WRONG. It was a tricky question to see if I was married or single, and for them to feel less guilty when assigning me overtimes almost every day. They lied to saying overtimes only when they were busy. Turns out they stared at me badly when I left on time the first day, and the second day the manager asked me why I was leaving and not "helping the team". LOL

Currently in this situation. Joined a job that requires ridiculous unpaid overtime and sometimes work on the weekend. 1 month in and I’m extremely burned out. I handed in my 2 weeks notice already. Life is too short to kill myself for a job.

I used to work for a small little medical office that had pretty high traffic for paltry wages but acceptable benefits. I was already working 5 days a week and nearly every other Saturday, and during a little pow-wow, the boss floated the idea of opening all seven days, but since we were already looking to hire, I knew additional staff wasn't part of the plan. When I made it very clear that I was absolutely not available 7 days, the boss pretty much stormed out and the meeting ended. I don't regret holding my ground in the slightest.

As a former recruiter and HR professional I'm impressed with the insight Bryan provides. He is always spot on! Thanks Bryan, and continue the great work!

I recently took a promotion that also gave me a MUCH better work/life balance. It is gonna take a heck of a lot more money now for me to go back to how I used to work. I no longer NEED to stay late, and if I do it is planned well in advance. I am able to flex a lot of my hours into how I want them, and I am no longer stuck covering weekend issues.

Gotta say--I think your interview tips helped me land the new job!!

I have been stuck in a job where the average work hours are 14 hrs/day and almost no weekend. This led me to have multiple stress related health disorders and burnouts. Now that I look back, all the signs you just mentioned were there during my interview process. I had to prepare a presentation and worse present it to my manager on the day of Christmas. I am so relieved that I have finally put in my notice. Wish I could have seen your video before I had joined this company. Thank you.

In private industry, full-time job after full-time job I've had required that I stay 'til the work is done. Each day I'd go in, I wouldn't know what time I could leave work. My "workday" ranged from 12 to 16 hours a day, 5 - 7 days a week. Now, if I apply for a job, I would want one that is only part time (three days a week). The only possible exception I'd make is if the job is a city, county, state or Federal job. I believe that there's zero work-life balance in private-industry full-time jobs now, unlike many, many years ago.

this channel should be better called, A Life before Quitting, because now it's more probable that you will quit your job for another than being fired. Also can you do a video regarding the growing trend of the subreddit r/antiwork?

I hate interview test projects. We should at least get paid for those if we’re asked to do them.

My direct manager recently quit for another job so in the meantime I am handling both his work and my own. When you give someone the work of 2 people, only 50% of it is going to get done. I am already working on average close to 50 hours a week. No way am I going to work 60+ hours. I'm not sorry.

Honestly just got a new job that I start at soon and was contacted at almost 8pm told to download an app for group chat with my bosses and coworkers and I said no I dont do that unless it’s something urgent or for an emergency. Was kinda forced into it and feel like wow my boundary is already being ignored and crossed… not a good sign.
I dont need to chat with anyone at work outside of work hours unless it’s an emergency.

When I became salaried I made sure with that offer and every subsequent offer with each promotion that it is specifically called out in the job offer that the salaried amount is based upon a 40 hour work week. I know some people feel the need or desire to work extra hours for free to complete the work assigned to them but I am always very clear about what I can handle and not handle in my 40 hours. Sure I will work a little bit extra here and there but I also take off early here and there so it ends up fair and work for a good company that really does appreciate work/life balance. That way if the company ever tries to expect you to work more than 40 hours regularly you can point right to your offer and say that isn't happening but depending on your personal preferences that you are more than willing to renegotiate the salary for a lot more pay to take up more of your time.

My job operates 7 days a week. I asked to every other weekend off to co-parent my daughter. In short, they declined my request because “everyone was complaining about having few weekends off”. Needless to say, I’ve only been there 2 months, but I know I’m leaving soon. Of being a present father isn’t a good enough reason, I know nothing else will be also.

You are right again!! I have been interviewing in the past. 1 of the company 's HR guy sent me email around 1030pm at night. During the interview, i asked the plant controller what he likes about the company. he told that they are very "competitive" and like to set goal that will stretch the employee. In accounting, this will only mean loading extra work onto accountants and run the department "lean"
