Yes. I voluntarily left my job this past week and it took a lot of courage. I had got comfortable and was used to doing things a certain way for the past 4 years. I was afraid to leave that familiar and comfortable spot. I wrestled with the idea and thought that I may be making a mistake. However, I know if I had stayed I would have become more resentful and irritated. I made the best choice.

You'll be good brehette. I've done the same thing.

Why would someone quit a job if they don't have something lined up?

I quit my last job with no job lined up. Just got fed up of the bs and disrespect, and it wasn't no short term part time gig either but 13 years. I did have money saved up and confidence in my abilities to find another one. I want to quit my current job but it's gonna be different this time cuz I want to move up to another level that requires more than what I'm capable of at the moment.

I got fam that does that shyt. Takes bullshyt jobs and then quits soon as somebody says something he don't like. Then will get on IG and FB talking about how all of those with regular jobs are suckers for working for the white man. Then a few weeks later he's at the next minimum wage job doing repeating the same cycle.

Basically I'm saying there ain't no honor or pride in just quitting out of nowhere cause you gone end up right back at another bullshyt job doing the same thing except you ain't gone have no standards because you're desperate for any job.
Sounds just like my cousin :laff:

"They didn't like me."

"The manager hated me."

Depends on your responsibilities. One day in like March I was coming from class and didnt feel going to work so I quit after 3 years. But I don't have any kids, my car is paid off,Credit cards paid off, I live with one of my cousins so I don't pay rent, had money saved up, and get a Monthly check from the US Veterans Department every month I'm in school so I'm good.

Had anyone of those been different I would have had to ponder on the what's going to happen if I quit, should I do it, etc..
You were in the military? :dahell:

Same. I had mentally "quit" first. Started showing up to the office when I felt like it, worked from home and wouldn't say a damn word to anybody about it. When I knew I had enough saved to cover my expenses while job searching I turned in my computer and told em I'm out. Less than a month later ended up in a better position, gambling on yourself does take a degree of confidence.
