- A flight attendant has shared the four reasons they decided to quit their job
A former flight attendant has revealed four reasons why she quit her job in the airline industry.
Although Ashlee, who also goes by @ashleejjane on TikTok, said there were many positive aspects to the role, she felt these were outweighed by other disadvantages.
Outlining the initial reason why she chose to leave the role, she said the shifts, which required her to be more flexible with the hours she worked, were “really tiring.”
She also cited airline industry demands, saying that because “it never ends,” the former flight attendant found it difficult to arrange vacation time and encountered problems swapping shifts with former colleagues.
Although Ashlee said there were many positive aspects to the role, she felt these were outweighed by other disadvantages.
Citing airline industry demands, she said that because “it never stops,” the former flight attendant found it difficult to arrange vacation time and encountered problems swapping shifts with former colleagues.
Ashlee went on to say, “There’s also a lot involved in changing shifts. They have to make sure that you have enough days off, that you have enough rest time between your shifts, so that it is (more difficult) to switch shifts with people.’
Her next reason for giving up her role as a flight attendant was because she found the job too unpredictable, saying that “nothing is guaranteed” and claiming that even her hours on the day she had to work were not set in stone.
Explaining why this is happening, Ashlee emphasized that airlines can “send you pretty much anywhere anytime,” which she said made it harder for employees “to plan (their) lives.”
Ashlee’s final reason for quitting her job as a flight attendant was the amount of time she had to spend away from home.
While the opportunity to travel and stay in a number of different locations around the world is something that entices many people to work as a flight attendant, Ashlee said she grew tired of constantly moving and wanted to spend more time at home with her wanted to spend. partner.
