I QUIT My 9-5 Job After Learning THIS (with no backup plan)

This is the story of how I decided to quit my 9-5 job and with that, corporate life in general. I hope what I share helps you with your decision if you're also contemplating to quit your job, and maybe inspires you to do what you really want to do with your life.
(I filmed this in December, but only now managed to edit it...I'll explain why in the next video)

    My workplace culture had eroded. No sense of teamwork anymore. Burnt out working 60 hours a week on the regular. Work life balance meant nothing to my employer. My supervisor got his position by default and is lazy and immature. His micromanaging was the last straw so I quit on the spot two weeks ago. I'm currently living off my savings. I can survive for about the next five or six months but I have never felt so free after quitting my job. I have an interview Thursday for a PE teacher position. Life's work. Stout hearts.

    Im about to do it, but ive been homeless before and it sucks badly! Living in your car with no access to showers is hard. I make over 100k a year now, but boy am I suffering emotionally. Im jacked and fit so im physically fine, but my mental is wearing on me from the stress of corporate and looming layoffs what seems like every 4 months. It really starts to wear on me when i think of going through this another 25+ years (im only 30 now) and that it wont get any better as it stands now. So im about to take the leap, but i got to figure out how not to be homeless. If you havent been homeless in america, then just wait. It aint like germany. Especially if youre an able working young man. They have no fucking pitty!

    Oh I believe that it’s a whole different thing in the US! Germany does have a pretty good social security system, which I’m very thankful for. But this really doesn’t sound too good. Have you thought about maybe taking on a part time position instead, to pay for the bills but to have more time to yourself?

    I lived in Germany for 4 years and recently moved back to the states . Allot of my German friends seem to have this idea of having a secure job their whole lives. How did your friends react to you quitting your job?

    True - kind of understandable, as a “secure” job here is actually pretty secure, since it’s difficult for companies to fire someone as you probably know:D My friends were actually super supportive, congratulating me for “being brave” and taking the leap, which I’m very grateful for:)

    You might be right about that, partly..I agree that older generations had to work very differently than the younger ones, on average. But also I think many of today’s jobs aren’t really necessary, as in they either don’t provide any substantial value to the employing companies or they could and maybe should be replaced by software - at least from my experience. And complaints are usually the beginning of change, so I don’t think that complaining is bad, if it’s followed by action:)

You guys want stuff handed to you without doing the work...just because. It's entitlement. I work with a shit ton of you Gen Z's and they are hands down the worst employees in the entire building.
