Consider Quitting Your Job Without Shame


Take care of your mental well-being without guilt.

As a child, I believed that leaving a job, whether by termination or resignation, would always be a big, life-altering event. This misconception was largely influenced by cartoons. However, my perspective shifted when I quit a job for the first time. I realized that leaving a job doesn’t always have to be dramatic. It can often be a calm, mutual decision between two adults. After I quit, I experienced a mix of emotions – a little guilt but also a sense of relief.

There are numerous reasons why someone might choose to quit their job. Perhaps the compensation and benefits do not align with the effort you put in, or maybe the work environment is toxic and aimless. It could also simply be time for a new chapter in your life. Society tends to place a high value on employment and sometimes looks down upon those not actively working, but resigning from a job doesn’t automatically label you as a failure. The justification behind quitting your job is personal to you, and as long as it feels right for you, others’ opinions are irrelevant.

It is crucial to recognize when a job is negatively impacting your mental health. Even if the salary is good, subjecting yourself to a job that drains you emotionally is not worth it. If you feel that your job is bringing more harm than good to your life, you have every right to walk away. Do not feel ashamed; prioritizing your well-being is the correct decision.
