I QUIT MY CORPORATE JOB | FIGURING OUT MY PURPOSE

hey guys so if you can tell by the title today's video is going to be about how I recently quit my job yes I said it I quit my job in Los Angeles where it's expensive to live I guess so I was working at a popular company I'm not gonna say where but pretty much a popular discount store I was working for their corporate office in downtown LA and it was pretty much a nine o'clock job yeah I was working there I worked there from March of this year 2019 till September so it was just a little like a week or two under six months and originally I was only a Haley Becca so I currently work under a tip agency and they find me freelance fashion corporate jobs so I've been with them since like November of 2017 so I got with them a couple months after I moved to LA so pretty much they just set me up with different corporate jobs and sometimes the jobs last for a month sometimes the last for two months six months or they can become permanent jobs so I got this like I said I got this job in March and when I got the job I was like oh I don't think I don't think this is gonna work like I don't know I don't know but prior to that I had a tenth job and then they my time was a at that tenth job so I took a break and if you know me you know I hate working so whenever my temp jobs end I just kind of take a break for like a month or two months and kind of figure it out and then I just whenever my money starts to get a little honestly I just get another job so back right before I got this job I was going on a little over two months without working so my funds was running low so I'm like okay I need to get a job so I got to shop at this company and literally my first day I was like oh no I did not like this place but I'm like you need this money you you need this money and I was going on vacation so I was like I need the money for my bills and I need to pay for my vacation so I stuck it out even though like every week I was like I'm not too clean I'm gonna quit I'm gonna quit my view I've never quit any of my temp jobs they just kind of end it so anyway like I said when I first started I wanted to quit it's like right away cuz I was just not feeling it but then the company what movie they moved me around like three times to different departments so every time I moved I was like okay you know it's not so bad just that fresh department it was just not it was not it for me so I'm a shock I moved around I was like okay I can stick it out but in the back of my head I'm like you know I still know I'm not sure so let me just save a whole bunch of money so every time I got paid I put most of my my name my savings account because I was like I don't know when I'm gonna stop working so I just need to have money saved up because I don't want to be like oh I don't want to work here or they let me go and then I'm just I don't look at you and I'm broke so I was just like you know it I don't know how long mistake so I'm just saved hello money and until I just I don't work here anymore so take us back some more present I had a whole bunch of money saved and pretty much they started asking me to do some some extra stuff and I'm just like no because y'all not gonna be paying me and I kind of already told them like if you put this on my plate I'm gonna be kind of overwhelmed and they were just pretty much they main care so I quit so I literally it was just one day they were talking to me or telling me to do something and I was like you know what today is the day I'm tired of this like I don't like it here it was to the point where I would literally dread waking up and I should never I should never feel like that like God blessed me with another day I should never be like oh my gosh it's Monday again oh my gosh it's Tuesday oh my gosh I have to wake up and I used to begin to work early like 7:00 a.m. 7:30 but that says I like enough relief so I would get there like 7:00 or 7:30 you don't feel like 4:00 4:30 so I like that but it was just to the point where I'm just like I don't even want to go I don't want to get up I'm just like yearning for the weekend and then the weekend is sure than it's a us Monday and I have to go into that place so I was just getting really like I don't know become an unappreciative of the life that God has given me so I'm like I never want to feel like why do I have to get up you know so I was just like this is not it and then I was also having I don't want to cut I don't know what to call them like maybe panic attacks I don't know I've never felt this before but it would be moments where I felt like I couldn't breathe like we're hot like a quick second I would just feel like okay I can't I can't move or else I might pass out or something so I don't know what that was about but leading up to me quitting I was getting that kind of often like a couple times a week and it was just scary because it's like it wasn't like I was doing like some extreme working out or dancing or anything like that I would just be literally standing there and just support splits acting like I felt like I could not breathe like somebody was choking me so I was just like okay yeah this is kind of an impulse decision that I'm making but I just feel like God is telling me I need to quit this job because I'm not happy and you know I'm 24 and I just feel like life's too short to be unhappy at a job so I quit so yeah after I quit um and then that's the other thing I put in the weeks notice and I wasn't new two weeks when I was two weeks notice but I was like you know what keep me if I put in two weeks notice they're not gonna keep me the whole entire two weeks so I just put in one weeks notice and like I thought they didn't even keep me for the one week so I put in so let's say it was a Friday I put in my one week notice that next Friday would be my last day so then my last day ended up being that Tuesday so instead of working till Friday they only had me work till Tuesday which I kind of figured they were going to do anyway because that's how jobs work so that's why I was like I'm letting buddy put in two weeks because they're not two weeks notice stupid because if a job was to fire you they're not gonna give you a two weeks notice they're just gonna fire you then a and say this is your last day so the whole two-week thing whoever made that up it's the it's a scam anyway so once I had my last day or once on this side I was quitting I booked the flight home so literally I decided on the Friday like I'm gonna quit today and then I looked up flights I looked at flight to Cleveland which is where I'm from to go home and I was like you know what I haven't been home in a while I need a reset I need to there's like flies anyway I need a reset and so I'm go home stop with the trip home for like ten days and I went home so I my family I saw the class I just felt like I needed to be around people who loved me and in a carefree environment so yeah that's why I went home for so many days but now I've been back in LA so I'm just kind of like okay what's next what we bout to do and this kind of goes into my dance stuff I had also while I was working been feeling very defeated by dance just because if you're a dancer you know it's a whole bunch of knows like no no no no no a thousand knows for maybe one yes or I even a half I guess so I was just feeling like do I even want to dance anymore like this is getting old and I kind of still have those feelings a little bit I'm trying to like get out of that funk because normally I think rejection pretty well but it's like you know after being told no so many times anybody's egos and it be kind of crush like Dame's or anybody gonna say yes to me like I don't I don't understand yeah that's that so that's what I'm trying to do now is trying to get back into wanting to dance and finding my purpose again because I'm just like so confused at this point in my life and really all I know that I want to do is travel that's all I know for sure like if I could just get paid to travel if that would be the dream job I mean I'm sure anybody would want that kind of job but I love to travel so yeah I'm gonna spend them in this weird space right now where I'm like oh I don't know what I'm doing but that's okay because like I said I have money saved so my bills are gonna be taken care of and I'm not worried about that and like I said I'm with the temp agency so if all fails you know in a couple weeks and I'm like okay I kinda need more needs to get my money back up I'll just start trying to get another temp job so yeah that's why I kind of like being with the temp agency because also with my dance and stuff a permanent job really just won't work right now because with my auditions it'll be like a Thursday night and they're like oh you have an audition tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. and it's like but tomorrow's a weekday and I have to work so with a temp job it's not so much pressure to be like you must be I work every day because it's like you're freelance so if I can't come to work tomorrow I mean yes and I said but they can't be really mad about it because I'm not a permanent worker so that's how do I keep my type jobs but yeah I don't know I'm just like at a really really weird space right now and I'm kind of making this video to not encourage you to quit your job because not everybody is in that position to quit or like financially or support wise you know so don't quit your job if you broke okay don't do it this is for the people who plan financially or if you got another like if you are an entrepreneur or something and you have your business and you just been looking for that sign maybe this is your sign but don't make it your sign if you're not positioned to do that but yeah so I'm just kind of like well you know maybe if I quit I'll focus on the more creative things I like to do like I do enjoy making videos but I just be so lazy all the time or I'll use work as an excuse like oh I don't get off word till this time and by the time I get off work I'm tired and I got to get up early so I just been kind of using that as a scapegoat so I'm like now that I'm not working why can't you do stuff that you like why can't you make videos and then I also started in an earring line undersell omelet so I actually can make these so now that I don't work there should be plenty of time to make earrings plenty of time to get my name out there cleaning your time to just do what I feel like I need to do so yeah this video Mahama I was kind of all over the place I didn't really have much of a direction just to tell you all I quit my job so it's almost been a month since I quit it'll be a month in like a couple of days I don't know so I'm kind of giving myself to November to figure it out because I also me too I have trips coming up like at the top of next year and then I also need to book flights home for the ha so eventually you know my friends are gonna run though so I'm trying to get myself so maybe November mid-november to figure it out and then if if not then I'll just find another job until I figure it out but yeah this whole point is just I am young and if I am unhappy with something why can't I change it you know why do I have to be miserable just because oh you have to work you have to work you have to work says who if I'm smart with my money and I don't have to work but that's why I say like I said in my beginning I saved literally most of my check probably 80% of my checks uh well depending on the week but like I would say at least sixty to eighty percent of my checks were gone straight to my savings account so yeah you just got to do what you got to do and also it was timing I'm just all over the place bear with me but also it was time to down to this job was this job was a very high paying job like compared to this was the highest I ever got paid so that was also keeping me there so long because I'm like I'm making it money but it's like at some point you have to think it's money worth unhappiness and to me it's not like I could be making all that money but if I'm miserable all the time and I'm always reading work and I'm always at work it's like I don't even have time to even spend money like I can't even enjoy my life because I'm always freakin miserable so I don't want to sound ungrateful for anything because I was very grateful for that job opportunity you did help me but I just have to go I just had to go no hard feelings to anybody at that company but it was time it was my time so yeah oh I don't know I didn't even look at my notes I'm dead let me see if I forgot anything yeah but okay I think that's about it um let me know if you guys ever felt like you wanted to quit if you need like some saving money tips yeah but that's this video thanks for watching I hope you guys enjoyed it I hope I didn't ramble too much and wasn't it too all over the place but yes thank you for watching and stay tuned for my next video
