I am a Medical Lab Tech and I am at the point of where I dread going to work. The thing I fear is not being able to financially support myself and my son without this job.
After listening to this Vlog/interview I know that I’m not fully healed from everything that happened to me on that Toxic job!
Omg I wish I had found this 4 years ago. Exactly what I went through day after day on a job I had been on 19 years. You are so right leave and never look back.
👍🤩💝🙏Thank you. Bless you ladies.
Us are the absolute worst to work with on these jobs
Us are the absolute worst to work with
Us are the absolute worst to work with
So happy i came across this video! I was let go from my job because of "job commitment" while I had complained about low pay and an imbalanced workload as compared to my nonblack coworkers. I was actually planning to leave, but this job had filled my head with thoughts that i was their star employee…all while they were treating the other people better. They had also let go the only other two black women employees.
I started to think maybe i was wrong for speaking up and that maybe the mistreatment was in my head. But no. These companies arent loyal and esp to black people. No matter how good you are, youre still black at the end of the day.
So now I'm getting ready to leave the US in the next few months. I have a daughter. And i just cant let her live in this society.
This video came across my feed!! I work at toxic job and I want out! I had to stand up for a position!! But you women are right I need CHANGE
RELOCATION ❤❤ IM READY TO START THE HEALING BECAUSE I WANT TO LEARN A DIFFERENT MINDSET!!! UNDO ALL THE TOXIC BEHAVIOR IN MY LIFE!!
I didn’t need an exit plan…I got laid off. Now I’m getting severance and can collect unemployment while I figure out my next step
I resigned from my toxic job in the middle of Covid after they totally dismissed the fact that I had been in a near fatal accident 2 years prior, followed by the sudden death of my adopted dad who was helping me recover from the accident. I truly felt liberated as I preparing my 2 weeks' notice that I would be giving them. On my last day, I skipped…YES, I said skipped, into the office to return all of my remote work equipment with a HUGE grin on my face!!
Thank you so much for everything that you do for the community. I just registered, and I am looking forward to it!
When you are a black women who is educated and unmarried, with out children we can put too much focus on our jobs and our jobs become our identity. So it can be hard to walk away even when it doesn't serve us, we have to pray, have faith and make the necessary moves. Thank you ladies for such an insightful and impactful conversation.
I want to find a business coach but it would have to be in budget. Any more advice on how to find one outside of a simple google search?
Glad mental health professionals are talking about this…. Been there… recovering from my time in the mental health and social work world…. I quit 3 yrs ago…
I came across this video at the right time. It is so soothing to my damaged heart.
The ONLY reason why I am still in the states is due to the very high salary I make with no degree. Feeling like a giant in a box😭
I’m ready to exit. 😢
We DEFINITELY need to look at the definitive numbers because it makes it so much more REAL that leaving is possible! ✨
I’ve had so many toxic jobs, 2 of them I filed complaints with EEOC. Only to be undermined and not believed, even with proof from emails of harassment. I used to be so embarrassed jumping jobs, and how others would perceive me.
Unfortunately I women who looked like me in the workplace that literally participated in the psychological lynching.
My job wasn't a great job I worked at a behavioral health hospital. Low pay high risk physically & emotionally. But I felt I had to go because it was all I had. I was in debt. I dreaded going into work everyday. I walked in one day to a code being called and found myself fighting with a mentally Ill patient. I quit that day no savings, in debt, and trying to find another job. I went back to caregiving which was draining. So now I'm pursuing the speaking career I've always wanted. But I'm struggling doing side hustles.
I wouldn’t say my job is toxic, im just no longer aligned with it. I’ve done the same type of work since my early 20s and I’ll soon be 32. Plus, I’m extremely overwhelmed and feel stretched thin
Thank you for your thoughts. How can those who don't have higher education , vut is gifted with talents seek freedom?
Healthcare
Sub sub sub lord sub!!!
Watching the replay and omg…. @mpricemsw this sounds like my current story. I just returned to work due to financial need and still trying to fight to get my Short Term Disability approved.
i appreciate a co-worker that shared with me how to take FMLA in early 2000.
What advice would you have for young women entering the workforce? How to avoid the burnout? Also, have you considered how your exit strategies might impact women who replace you in those jobs?
I just quit my job today🎉🎉 that job was slowly killing me
The timeliness of this video. Thank you Ladies. 💕
I was on vacation going home when I heard the job I was working was going out of business. They offered no severance pay, gave us less than a month, well they initially said 3/31, but it was 3/1. I don't miss it but I felt bad for those who been there long.
Hey, Stephanie…my toxic environment WAS higher education…predominately white institution…I would love to know your theory and run the statistic.
Stephanie, starting out, you made about $700 as a virtual assistant. Thank you for your honesty. So many people who make money on digital platforms these days all claim straight out the gate they make "six and seven figures". I know great money can be made I know that. Viewers, subscribers just want the truth and not fabrications. Thanks for the truth. I'm so tired of the fabrications and lying. Thanks for the truth Stephanie. Thank you.
My wake up call is when I asked for a promotion after earning my BA this past December, I was told that maybe I've evolved as much as I can in the department and I should look for a job at another institution. Mind you I work in one of the biggest hospitals in NY.
Then I went on a job interview at another hospital closer to where I live, was told I would be perfect for the job. Meanwhile they hired someone else.
I am 51 been in the healthcare arena for close to 30 years and at my current job for almost 20. I'm just over it all. I'm planning to be out of here by next year.
I should probably do a YouTube video about this instead of venting about it here 😅
Hi Stephanie I have 2 advanced degrees and was curious about the education reciprocity
This spoke to me so much today. I see similarities between both Marissa’s and Dr.Kimani’s stories. Former sped teacher and now working at a bank crying to be free! Searching for my freedom plan. Thank you for sharing your light and resources. I have decided ❤
I have been learning and encouraged to live a lifestyle that feeds my spirit! That model of waiting till I’m 65 is a fantastical dream killer.
I took a health leave due to stress from my last job. Thankfully I had a good doctor who actually recommended it and she managed my care with the mental health practitioners.
As black women we often hide our suffering. Be very open and honest with your doctors so they came fully fill out the paperwork.
If they don’t support you, find someone else. Also be sure to report physical symptoms like lack of sleep and increased blood pressure, etc. It’s all interrelated.
I’m there!!! I must register for this summit! At 63, it’s scary to step out of a job I’ve had for 14 years that with latest owners taking over, has become a place of INSANITY!!!! Gotta get out….my eyes are being destroyed!
Registered for the Summit!
I can relate to Dr. Kimani when she spoke of betrayal.
I unfortunately stayed in a toxic job, which I should have quit my first day. I'm mad at myself for allowing him and others to treat me so badly.
Stephanie how can we put our down payment in on the Costa Rica house? 🤣. I’m ready
Just turned 55 and have 7 years to retirement with a Teacher's pension in Maryland. Looking at Maryland jobs b/c my time will transfer. There are many things I can do but the search is work itself. I can't complain b/c I only looked but haven't applied to anything. Coulda, woulda, shoulda! You know that feeling when you know what you want to do but don't have the training? The income isn't there for Data entry, logistics, research assistant. Other days, I feel like I can manifest ANYTHING!
PEACE & LOVE LADIES🙌🏾🌹🌹🌹
