I quit today a job after 2 years. I was being paid pennies, given too many extra responsibilities, lack of communication, inconsistency of days/hours and lack of value to sum it up. People told me i need to quit but i held out until i had enough!

Now im going to take a much needed break to relax and then see about an office job!

Anyone else have a job you quit and felt like the weight of the world was off your shoulders?

Yeah. In 1977 I quit a job that was paying 40K a year. That's $166,000 today. I NEVER felt so good! I was absolutely ebullient.

It was 2 years before I went back to work.

Learned my lesson though; I never overworked myself again.
Retired now.

It wasnt so much stress, as much as a huge cluster of other circumstances that i kept allowing to happen without speaking up.
