Welcome to "That Sweet Salary" podcast hosted by Ben Harris & Emily Green! Today, we’re diving into one of the toughest decisions any worker can face: quitting a job without something else lined up. Inspired by a Reddit user wrestling with the decision to leave their job due to burnout—while also being a solo homeowner—we’ll talk about the real risks and rewards of this choice. Ben and Emily explore stories from others who’ve taken the leap, sharing insights on when quitting without a plan might make sense and when it could lead to deeper stress. We’ll also look at options like short-term disability or FMLA to manage mental health while keeping financial security intact. If you’re at a crossroads and unsure about the next step, join us for honest advice, options to consider, and a big dose of empathy for anyone struggling with job burnout.
