Today would be a great day to quit your job.
What is a job?
A job is basically an exchange of skill and effort for currency. In some cases the measurement of skill and effort is based on hours worked, and those employed in this way are called hourly workers or contractors. In other cases skill and effort is not measured, these permanent employees are given a guaranteed salary. Contrary to what the term permanent implies, in both cases the majority of jobs are actually “at will”, which means that either the employee or the employer may terminate the relationship at any time, for almost any reason.
It should be noted that it is the employer that invokes “at will” termination in the vast majority of cases.
What is the goal of Quit Your Job Day?
The goal of Quit Your Job Day is to reverse the advantage perpetuated by an elitist class who profit from your actions without making any personal investment in you as an individual. If you don't know who profits from your hard work, I assure you that they care very little about you. The prevailing view is that you need a job to survive and that you need the job more than the employer needs you. What most people don't know, and those who profit from your skill and effort certainly don't want you to hear, is that your employer needs you to survive as well.
If it were possible to reverse the prevailing view, it would require the near simultaneous action of a large number of people acting under a single banner. Imagine the reaction if 150 employees at your company all terminated their employment at the same time. Imagine the power of a single day where the worker gains the upper hand. Imagine a marketplace where you interviewed employers to find a job you'd enjoy. Imagine Quit Your Job Day.
