No, I haven't regretted quitting jobs. But I regret staying on the job in my early career regardless of a lot of red flags. I should've left there earlier because things were getting worse.

Never all the jobs I have had been via employment agencies at different companies so no regrets as these were short term contracts

Jennifer, in my book, people should only quit their job, if they REALLY have to. The best way ever, in my book, to stop toxism ever in any workplace, is to have everyone do a Sgt Weston of Lads Army, in the form of everyone sticking a bucket on their head, and banging it, if they have to listen to one another, or calm down.

I’m in that position right now. Only been here for a week and It’s not what was described to me in the interview process.

Change is hard - we are not just quitting a job - we are quitting a toxic environment and once we are out of it, sometimes we can look back and realize how much we loved the job and the people - but that we just could not figure out how to manage the issues that became barriers. sometimes a mentor to help have the conversations that need to be had will help you save the job you want.

I boomeranged once and let me tell you. Don't. Do. This. If you're leaving a company, it means that you've had your reasons.

Right..sometimes you think you're regretting it but in reality you are not. You are just seeing things in a different way because you already left but chances are, it's really the right decision.

How about if you just moved role in the same company, is it ok to go back to old role?

@@Moose185 yeah if you are cool with the salary decrease. I was going to do that(went from trust accounting to payroll accounting) and wanted to go back. But I now had the knowledge of how much every realistic promotion would pay and I knew I couldn’t stay when I would make what would take 2-3 years minimum on a fast track promotion schedule in one role change.

My anxiety just calmed down by reading this comment

I regret leaving certain things but this work at the same time was making me miserable. I feel so heartbroken tho, I feel like im rejecting something big :(((

I have never regretted quitting a job.

my biggest fear is to not be able to last long enough at new job to requalify for unemployment.

Regret trying to swim with the corporate sharks. Lesson learned and thank goodness for this channel

The sharks are no problem, we'll be talking more about power structures in the next few months!

My toxic workplace that I needed to leave from ended on a very mixed note. One of my Managers was not supportive and said 'You're making a very big mistake.' Other people have said 'Oh, you'll be back in a few months.' This didn't sway me to stay at all! It told me in a nutshell how unvalued I was. I am sticking to my guns and I can't wait to start my new role in a new company with better prospects. I am hopeful that I can prove myself and well as my previous toxic workplace that my decision was the right one and can excel.

I'm trying to figure out what to do. I am on day 4. I feel completely alone. My manager has no time for me. I've basically been left off in teams land to find resources to train myself. I really regret quitting my previous job.

Thank you so much for this video, I’m conflicted with this decision right now. It’s only been 2 weeks but I’m having doubts and thinking about going back to my old job. The managing culture in this new team is quite strict. They have micromanaging in place

so what did you decide ?

I appreciate you for sharing, I’m in my mid twenties. I am planning to go back to a job. Yes the hours are full time, it’s worth it. It goes at my pace and that is why I am choosing this position over another 💕

Regret quitting your job? Option 1: beg for your old job back. The right answer: GET A NEW JOB! #adulting

Appreciate all your videos Jennifer, truly opened my eyes to toxic jobs. Boss making promises of promotions etc. just to make you feel good but not really happening in the near future.😌 Together with her favorite, they backstab others (left me wondering if they do the same to me, more likely yesss!!! 🤨). Worst they're all "busy" and just showing up when they need something done.🤔 When I quit (definitely quitting soon) , will not regret it for sure 🙏.

Thanks for reminding me of the whole list for the pressure of everything I need to reestablish. 😬 No regrets yet. Just normal on-boarding nerves. It takes a lot to shake me free of a job to start looking.

nice video!! thanks!!

I quit my job because i found a new job. Then 1 week before i was about to it to leave my old job my new job called and said that they don’t have work at the moment and i have to wait a few weeks before i can start. I told them i’m going to look for another job because i can’t afford to not be employed.... Now i’ve quit my job for almost 3 weeks and i’m jobless and i can’t find another job that wants me. 😂 Now i’m thinking about going back hut MYYY PRIDE 😅😭 Karma I guess?

It took me 15 years to quit one job and it was the best decision I ever made as far as leaving a job. The last 10 years have been a roller coaster but that first job I am glad I left.

I just quit my cashier job, my official last shift is this Saturday. I’ve decided to work at a plant nursery until new year to get a change of environment and to work on my own stuff like my book and photography. If by new year it’s not working out I’m going to go back to my cashier job with potentially the plant nursery on the side. My cashier job pays very very well for what it is, the plant nursery will pay me less but I need some flexibility for a while. I have 9 months to figure it out. I just want to add that me and my manager are 100% okay with each other it’s more of a company issue at this time, I have expressed an interest in coming back as a seasonal worker and told my manager I might come back in new year, my cashier job is across the road from my house so that’s the biggest benefit. It’s still on the books as a possibility as the plant nursery is certainly not forever but a temporary solution.

I know this well, for the first time in my Career, I went from a Frustrating Job to a Corporate Disaster back office dead end position.

I quit my job which wasn’t for a valid reason so me and my girlfriend worked at the same place and we would talk about quitting this job long story short that day came and we were already a little bit late for work and decided to quit we both quite and I felt relaxed for a bit but then started regretting leaving that job now I found a different job in the theme park industry but regret leaving and just been alone figuring wether I should go back or stick to this new one

I quit my job and ruined my life. My life is ruined now. I'm finished.

@@timcook4552 life took a huge turn around. Glade I kept pushing through it. Now I work everyday and alot more hours. But learning something new everyday. And even though I do alot of hours and work everyday It seems like I'm more present with wife and kids. I practiced being more grateful and present . Not worry about the future but enjoy each day and moment. And it's been working.

is quitting a job and getting laid off a bad omen for a candidate ? if we quit a job when we have an opportunity thats called switching.

I broke upper management in the company. How I go about fix and it is a grocery store?

The hard thing for me is to communicate to my boss and coworkers that Im leaving after only 4 months. Any ideas?

How long does it take to know if the new job isn’t for you and you made a mistake? 1 month? 1 quarter? Less than that?

i quit my job earlier this month. I realized that it was not the right thing to do and was an impulsive decision.I left the company on a very good note. Its embarrassing to ask my manager to take me back. what should i do in this case?

same here😭 i don’t think i can go back it’s just so embarrassing

For me, I can go back if they let me because the reason I quit it’s not about the job it’s about me moving to another city but I just miss home and I came back home and my boss who is the dentist is still kind. And ven asked me if I can go to work part time for two days. But accidentally that day I didn’t go to my hometown yet.

if i get a new job just 2 months before and i get a new offer with better salary and perks should i leave first or stick bcoz job hopping is considered bad thing ?

I see no issue getting a gap job to keep paychecks coming in. Right now they're ready to find and pay better than they typically would too. Make sure it gives the and flexibility for your job search. Most will omit from their resume but will disclose it in an interview if it comes up.

I somehow regret and have second thoughts. It doesn’t suck too much maybe ? Haha

Not at all, not one bit
