A woman who had been working as a teacher for eight years decided to give it all up for a job at Costco, stating that her work had left her exhausted to the point of being physically sick during her breaks. According to former teacher Maggie Perkins, there were aspects of her teaching career that she enjoyed, but she ended up getting 'burned out' over time due to the many stresses of the role.
In a TikTok video that has since gone viral, Maggie stated that she now feels 'happy' leaving work because she enjoys her job, and colleagues, and generally feels 'good about [her] job'. Back when she was a teacher, she only ever felt good leaving for the day because she was leaving to go home.
