Quit Your Job

United States
March 7, 2013 2:36pm CST
I have a friend who has a regular job, his own music group and a job online. He was told about another site I had heard about. I spoke to him yesterday. He told me that this online business, one of the people who runs it wants him to quit his first online business to work for them. When you work at home, you can do more and be able to add an extra way to make money at home. If you had one very successful online business and you wanted to add another site and that second company told you to quit the first company your working for, would you quit? I would not quit. Work is scarce enough without anyone trying to control you and who you work for. To me, no one has any right to tell someone else to stop working for one company just to work for them. When anyone works from home, they can work for any site they see fit without having to give up anything!

I think most answers is that they wouldn't quite their jobs. This made me feel that your jobs are earning you adequate amount of money, so it would be understandable not to accept that type of offer. Now if for example, one is earning just a little in one's job, then one might as well try something different and may end up with bigger pay while at the same time having more freedom and being your own boss. Every circumstances is different, but in my case I was very happy quitting my job 7 years ago and now I am earning a whole lot more as compared to the salaries I get from all the jobs I had in the past.

If I have a profitable job, which I enjoy, I wouldn't give it up for a totally new site. I couldn't now if it's a scam, if it can be long-living. There's too much to risk.

I would agree. Now one possibility is that you could do both work and if you can see that the online work is starting to give you greater and stable earnings, then probably it could be a possibly good option to resign in your work and focus on making more money online. As others have said, it depends on many factors so in the end it would be up to that person to decide for himself if it would be good to leave his old job and focus on this new online endeavor...or not.

It is not a good idea to quit your job juet beacause someone invited you to another. It is important to check if the company to which the friend is inviting is well established. Jobs are hard to come by and decisions taken must be sound and wise.

you are right work is scarce at the moment so i dont think that i would be willing to quit my job if its a good one. Maybe this person can find a way of doing both jobs and doubling his money. I dont think that its really fair for this company to ask him to quit his job as its too much of a risk.

This gonna be my last participation in mylot. No, you don't quit your real life time job no matter how good the opportunities that you came across online. There are people who are making three-four figures online, but they still have and stick to their real life jobs. You never know when an online program gonna scam you.

There is a big problem if you make a wrong decision from it. You're right no one can dictate you on where you are going to work with, if you are happy and satisfied with your first job then go on, but if you notice that the second job can be more of your first job why not grab it. Don't do what they tell to you if you on yourself prove it.

One of the nice things about working from home is that it affords one the opportunity to create multiple streams of income. If anyone told me I had to quit one of my jobs, either online or offline, that would be the one and only red flag I would need to say 'thanks, but no thanks.' What else would I be asked to quit? Sorry Charlie, no can do.

I also heard that from some of the upline leaders of a network marketing company. They are advising their members to quit their jobs and go full time with their network marketing business. The uplines were really earning good, six figure income monthly, and they are advising their members that if they want to earn the same, they should quit their jobs and go focus doing network marketing business. They advise like that for many reasons. Maybe they want their members to succeed just like them. Or, maybe they want their members to work harder under them, so those uplines earn bigger and bigger. When working a part-time business online, like the network marketing business I am working out right now, you can start working in your spare time. And as time goes by, as your business grows, as your team grows, your income also grow. There are times when your income from the part-time business supersedes what you are earning from your full-time job. That's the only time you can decide whether to quit your job or not. But most people don't quit jobs that point. They wait until their income from the part-time business triple the income they are making from their jobs.

Is the company offering him to be part of their team? Maybe they want him to work full time with them. It will still depend on the situation. There is another solution, he can delegate work to his close relative or to anybody whom he trust. Have a great day!

Work is hard enough to find, I wouldn't quit this job just because another company told me to. I'd work both and not tell them
