Ive seen so many of these videos, tweets, letters, etc. etc. over the years
Just saw one today and it was someone who held a realtively higher position in their work and the video was them announcing they are leaving
Am I the only one who thinks whenever these videos are usually also fuckin stupid for one reason or another
In some circumstances it's obvious there was a fight or scandal in which that person was removed and they are desperately trying to save face. Often throwing words like "creative differences" into those departure messages
But the part that I really hate and dislike is when it's someone leaving from a situation where they for all intents and purposes have it made
This particular video I saw the person was a creative director or some other title like that, they were/are beloved by the fans and other people they work with and they are just...leaving
Their video referenced their personal struggles growing up and mental health and how they also ways wondered "is this all I'll ever be?".
Okay, fine. All well and good. Everyone has struggles growing up, mental health wise, existential crisis, etc. at some point. But WHY would you leave a very comfortable and relatively easy job for reasons completely unrelated to it?!?! Especially when from every metric possible you are absolutely killin it!!
This particular person isn't leaving to join a different career field, they implied they'd be making the same type of content, but like by themselves? I guess?
I've seen so many YouTubers do it too, while in the midst of an era where things are going great they just cold stop
What is with people who when they are in excellent positions they suddenly feel the need to jump ship and leave when they have it made. Why not stay in the job that you seem to love while working on personal struggles (if you even have that going on)
