I hated that I used to stress over losing my job. It got to a point that it affected my health. Then a year ago I said enough of this cr-p. I started to minimize my expenses to the bare bones which in turn bolstered my emergency funds. I’m at a point now that if anything happens and I get laid off I’m fine with it. By no means am I eagerly waiting for it. I just realized that I should never let an employer determine my security or my happiness. No one should.

I worked at UP and it was the same for me. I saved my pennies and cut my expenses and had 5-6 months of expenses saved. Then I just quit. I was tired of their BS and the worries and never knowing when I was gonna work and everything else. Best decision of my life. I'm out of the toxic soup, and I feel like a new man. I took a couple of months off and just recently started looking for a new job. I don't regret it at all!
