As a Gen X'er, I am so proud of the younger generations taking control of their futures and not being beholden to the company line. Lynette made sure she could financially do it and that's fantastic. What would be a HUGE help, and this is my opinion only, would be if healthcare wasn't tied to our jobs. The possibilities for citizens without that heavy burden needs to be explored instead of being dismissed as "socialism". Good luck to all of you taking the plunge like Lynette has!!

Hey speaking of investing, I have heard many people talk about it. But I really dont know how to start and make a good investment. Can you Share more info please

You're going to be fine. I quit my job 4 years ago with a child. Listen, God is REAL and He was there always have been way before Amazon so your job is not even your source of living. At least you checked your finances, you had time to have fears. I was numb yet never ever been more certain that I can no longer work for the bank. My story is similar to yours, toxic work environment, just learning about my job and how the bank operates challenged me morally and ethically and religiously so I chose my faith. I chose God and my life hasn't been so blessed. From that decision I learned and saw God being God in every aspect in my life. He even opened a door I never imagined, I traveled abroad for the first time, all expenses paid, nice hotels, in and out board rooms mingling with important people in spaces I never ever imagined I would, never even dreamed actually but God is God and you will be where He wants you to be. God is so big He can do anything. If I never quit my job for the reasons I did, I would have never known there are doors God can open we know nothing about. You will be fine. Enjoy your new journey!

I've had to listen to so many conversations where people say "ah, get over it", "be an adult and take on responsibility". BUT honestly, the moment I quit the jobs which didn't align with my values and said NO to situations/people, my life started to change.

I have been in a toxic work environment, it takes so much of your energy and time. When I left mine, those first few days free, I felt skittish like I was out of place and it let me know just how much it affected me. Then it felt so liberating! I'm happy for you. 🤗 Caring for yourself will always be more important than working for someone else.

This is on a smaller scale, but I’m a college student and I recently quit my job that I’ve had since high school because I wasn’t being treated well and def wasn’t being paid enough and lemme tell you!! Quitting a job is so empowering!! I didn’t even have another job lined up but I still did it, It was scary but I’ve already found another job that aligns more with my values and I’m already so much less stressed! If you’re considering quitting a job 10/10 recommend doing it, things will work out eventually if you put in the work :)

You were feeling so anxious the day of quitting because you are literally saying goodbye to that part/version of yourself! It is only natural to feel that way for a little, because I don't think you will ever be working a 9-5 again!!

Good for you on taking that step. I quit a job this year I was only at for about 4 months but within that 4 months I was subjected to so much workplace hostility and sabotage. I knew I had to leave because I would be soo angry and depressed each morning. I also stopped eating because my anxiety was out of this world. I quit without looking back. Honestly the best decision I made!

Mmmmm when you said I got promoted the week George Floyd died with no pay promotion, was a aha moment. That’s fucked up! They literally moved you up to save face. Smh. New subbie here. Congrats on taking a big step 🤎

I’ve been here before and felt such relief when I finally quit. I’ve just started a new job and it’s soooo much better already. You’ll be fine. God bless you!

This new generation has life shifting energy.

This is such an inspiration for me. I have been going through so much BS at my current job that has been taking such a toll on my mental health. The pay allowed me to live comfortably but it’s definitely not worth the stress and anxiety I constantly deal with on a daily basis. This video was my sign to follow my dreams and quit my job. Thank you 💕

@@sacdiyaahmed2810 yes of course, I do staffing for a nursing agency. We would be required to do this thing called “on call” where nurses are able to call after hours if they needed the call out or had any specific questions. The worst part about it is that if there was a call out, I would have to drop whatever I am doing to find a replacement for that shift.

I am not joking, the universe is lining up for ppl all over the world! I quit my full-time job yesterday! Bigger things are coming for us 🙌🏾 Don't beat yourself up over working for that horrible company! You did what you had to do to make a comfortable living, but you ALWAYS tried to leave, and now you did it! It's not your fault or your duty to change this horrible company, you're changing the world for the better with what you're sharing here on KZread! Really, Lynette! You're an amazing human because you tried your very best to escape this toxic environment, and that shows what a good person you are! Now you'll show your old job, that being kind will get you places, you don't have to follow the system to survive, but never live.

Early in my tech career (around 2014) I got to the final stages for an interview to work at Amazon. I was living in London at the time. Looking back now, the entire process was the most intense, cult-like experience ever. I didn't get the job in the end. I've spoken to countless friends who have worked there who report the same thing as you - overwork, overwhelm, no work-life balance, feeling like they're working for a toxic machine, etc. You are so incredibly inspiring. Showing up so vulnerably and taking this brave step will create ripple effects that will positively impact others. You're not afraid to shake shit up. We need more people like you in the world. I rarely ever comment on videos, I'm normally a pretty passive subscriber. But you are one to watch. Thanks for showing up for all of us, Lynette.

Had the same experience working in trivago ( a German start up). Had to work 8-20 and join the “team-building events” afterwards regardless of the fact that I was married, had home I wanted to actually go back to.. if you don’t spend most of your time with them, you are frowned upon and not a team player.

I quit mine during quarantine. It was such a emotional roller coaster. I wish that I had something to back it up because I struggled for food and living after that.

The labor market is a cesspool of toxicity. I feel your pain.

Congratulations!!! Ive been a silent viewer but wanted to let you know how inspiring you are.🤩

So proud of you Lynette, I feel like every single video you’ve made since “I don’t have a dream job” has been leading up to this moment and I’m so glad you came to this decision!

the funk is totally normal. we live in a world where we are use to being in a high energy state from work. so when you remove that it brings your body and mind back to homeostasis which is a natural thing we should all feel and not be worried about giving other people that dont care about our well beings energy that dont deserve it.

Thank you for being so candid about your journey. I know it took a lot of strength to do so. I feel that a lot of the time, the topic of pursuing what you're passionate about can be glamourized, which is great, but the struggle to get there isn't shown as much. We appreciate you sharing this journey as you go along 💕

I feel like this video is so raw. I haven’t seen something this raw on KZread in a long time. I am so happy for you leaving your job and I’m glad you didn’t fake all the emotions and your fears. You are human and I wish you nothing but the best✨

Another option that may be helpful is to find a temp job that would interest you that’s not intensive. This would allow you to continue making content while still having a paycheck from a job you’re not committed to long-term - which will also give you space to continue to work on yourself and what you wanna try next! Just a thought!

@@asadb1990 I see the point you’re making and that’s one way to look at it. But speaking from the perspective of my own experience, there are recruiters out there who will help in keeping you within temp jobs only if that’s your preference, you just need to be transparent with them. Let them know you’d like to start interviewing once the contract is coming to an end. Not all companies are looking to expand head count permanently especially for short-term projects. Also, of course any job requires focus and attention, and you’d still need to follow an interest/strength which will allow you to perform naturally. That’s why I mentioned she temp to try different things of interest, which can help broaden her experience and bring clarity to her vision.

@@tanyalasagna_ i get your way. but in my experience even for temp jobs they want highly experienced folks who are desparate for work. and if you lack the desparation to work like a dog, they will end your months long contract in a few weeks. i have been hired a few times in the past where i was let go soon after and excuse was "i lack the urgency and drive". i worked my ass off. but i never ran to finish work early because that just meant more work. as far as recruiters are concerned they have all mostly been a waste of time. they would pitch me for jobs but after interviewing it was clear client wanted someone highly experienced for little pay. and that level experience only came at desparation

Absolutely, it's about getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and watching the wheels start to turn in your favor.

Thanks for your transparency. I quit around the same time due to similar reasons. I refuse to continue putting energy into someone else’s dream when I can contribute the same energy into self employment. The stress and anxiety associated with corporate America is ridiculous. Self perseverance, self discovery, positive experiences, self care, and mental health maintenance are key. Congratulations on your new found freedom 💕

I will be able to do this within three years. I'm speaking it into existence amen!!

OMG CONGRATS!!! So happy for you. Thank you for being so open, vulnerable, and RAW. Again, working a corporate job over here and you are just SO inspirational. Especially including the content of you actually going through the emotions, taking the actions of quitting, etc. SO MOTIVATING!! ❤️❤️ I see only AMAZING things for you in your future 🔮

so proud of you! I quit a job last summer that didn’t align ethically with my beliefs and was truly ruining my mental health. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. You’re gonna do great. Love your content ❤️

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZread channel 2 months ago about self development and now have more than 100 subs and almost 70 hour watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so much lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place

really needed this video. I’m going to college in the fall and I very much want to quit my job and focus on my passions and work on finding myself. I’ve been back and forth for months and the fear and unknown holds us back from a lot of things but I take this video as a sign❤️

Today, I am writing this comment from my AirBnB in Accra, Ghana where I am working as a management consultant with two clients!
