Have you ever quit a job when you had absolutely no backup plan because you were so miserable you just couldn’t take it anymore?
I have!
It was scary but also totally liberating because I realized on my last day how stressed out and unhappy I’d been for years.
And I also knew that I’d figure out my next move after I stepped back and took some deep breaths.
And it all worked out!
Here are 20 people who quit jobs without backup plans. Check out what they had to say.
Your happiness is worth quite a lot.
If you can afford it, don’t stay somewhere that’s not good for you.
Especially if you put in the work.
I wouldn’t count on it, though.
You’ve got to know your strengths.
You’ll never know if you don’t take the leap.
Really evaluate what you want from the future.
There are lots of odd/gig jobs that can get you through these days.
Just down the road.
Know your worth and all that.
No one should have to work in an environment like that.
No one will do it for you.
If you have to, even though it’s awful.
And you don’t want to compromise on those if you can help it.
People like that usually don’t.
When all the stars align you can’t help but believe.
Don’t let people force you to sacrifice yours.
Grab your bootstraps and all of that.
No doubt about it. Yikes.
I can just about promise you that.
