Biggest warning sign: you clicked on a video explaining when you should leave your job :/

[empanadascamotes]

When you wake up in the middle of the night having a dream about work. Time to get out

[livealifeIRL]

So true - negative work stress was why I left my last job. No job is worth your health and wellbeing.

[Ayaforshort]

To me the most important one was when the job makes your life unpleasant. I don't want to work for a company that expects me to stay late without warning or having me on call. Or expecting me to do more work because they don't want to hire enough workers to split the work into manageable roles.

Your shit is so on point I can't take it. No clickbait bullshit, just quick, clean information. God speed financial women wizards.

Know when to leave
1. Care or #Apathy for job
2. Clear #metrics allow you to #advocate for you
3. Hampers your health or burnout
4. Boundary less work environment
5. No learning or new skills ( mentor, goals, metrics)
Present and defend why you're #essential
6. Not what you signed up for / Not #honest ( over qualified and underpaid )
Add tangible #skills to become #indispensable.

Literally just turned in my resignation yesterday. All 6 points reassured me it was *definitely* the right thing to do. Thank you.

small companies suck for employees because of one reason only: they have no procedures in place, so everyone does whatever he thinks is right and then the unhealthy competition starts.

Girl I dont think you realize how much youre helping the world. You are very smart and work with intelligence. I love you and your videos!

I swallowed my pride and handed in my resignation letter after putting up with my work for 3 months, my team were full of complainers, The manager avoided me like a plague, never started a conversation with me. But she always wanted the job to be done on the same day, which sometimes forced me to work overtime unpaid. My senior coworker was also toxic, always talking about me behind my back. I was sick for few days due to work stress and anxiety. Don't force yourself to stay on a shitty job you don't like! Good luck for those who are planning to resign!

A seventh: the new boss doesn't like you. Seriously. The single time I was fired in my long career was due to thinking I could outlast a new boss who had no morals, had taken the position by destroying our previous boss, and was paranoid that I was after the job. She ultimately fired EVERY person at my level and filled the place with entry levels who were her friends. Then she was fired for immoral behavior at work. The second time I felt those winds, I bolted. Don't try to stay.

You're description of the first point that the job should not/does not have to be the most satisfying portion of your life is SO IMPORTANT to remember.

My first job was receptionist/admin. The basic salary for entry level in my country is about 200/300 dollars a month. I was promised 200 but started off with 100 on probation. It was to be increased to 200 after the 3 months but they only increased to 130 saying that they had to cut costs. This was a bummer since life in my city can be expensive. Over half of my earnings was spent on bus fare and lunch. Sometimes I'd have to choose between lunch or sanitary products.
On top off it all, I was working 6 days a week, constantly burning out and I slowly fell into depression. To make matters worse, there was no chance of climbing up the ladder.
Eventually I quit, without a plan, but just for the sake of sanity. I can say I'm so much happier even though I haven't yet found a good place.
I was later told that they increased salary to 300 because after I left no one would accept the 130

[sofielinnea]

I am looking for a new job so that I can leave my current one. What you said about just accepting a job because you're just so excited to have gotten a job was exactly what I did - so dumb. Next could you maybe make a video on how to quit your job gracefully? Like the do's and don'ts.

[Hypothisos]

My problem is that I love my job, but it just doesn't pay enough. I can't go forward in life without finding a job that pays more. I'm just sad that I'll be losing a job I do love.

[ItsthatEringirl]

I needed this! A great follow up to this video would be something about how/when to respectfully leave and how to carry out a job search while you're still working your current full-time job. Finding time during the work day to go on job interviews or to even follow up on applications I've submitted has been really challenging.

Shifting goalposts are also indicative of discrimination. Look the people over who aren't having trouble meeting goals and see if they're more in the boss's comfort zone.

[unburdenedcatcreature]

Her talking about the boundaries with coworkers makes me think of the Japanese working environment... *shiver*

[MarielIsabel]

I always look forward to TFD videos. As someone who is often very scared by new jobs, by money and by being assertive I am encouraged and challenged to be a better me. Thank you.

[sheryls]

Good advice, thank you for sharing. I have been in a job for 15 years that I hated. I hung on to be able to lock in a pension. I now can pursue my other interest. Was it worth it? Not when my youth and health was compromised. Enjoy your youth and your best health.
