Fury as Prince Harry says quitting work can be good for your mental health and 'many people around the world have been stuck in jobs that don't bring them joy' in interview plugging his start-up BetterUp
Daily Mail ^ | 6 December 2021 | Mark Duell

Prince Harry today advised people who feel 'stuck in jobs that don't bring them joy' to quit and said leaving work was something to be 'celebrated', nearly two years after his acrimonious departure from the Royal Family.

The Duke of Sussex, who lives in an £11million mansion in California and has a series of endorsement deals with companies that pay him to represent their brands, said people should leave their jobs to put their happiness first.

The 37-year-old prince's comments may be seen by some as referring to how he and wife Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals last year and left Britain for North America before claiming his family cut him off financially.

His quotes were published on the same day his brother Prince William's discussions about his own mental health were released in an Apple audio walking tour. William told how his job as an air ambulance helicopter pilot caused him a mental health crisis when he helped to rescue a seriously injured child - but he continued to work in the role.

Harry also said today that the world was at the 'beginning of the mental health awakening' and spoke about 'continuing to pioneer the conversation'. He was speaking in an roundtable interview with US business magazine Fast Company about his role as 'chief impact officer' with California-based mental health start-up BetterUp.

BetterUp is valued at £3billion and Harry's role, which he began in March, includes product strategy, philanthropy, and public advocacy related to mental health. He is also involved in its commitment to 'Pledge 1%' - a movement which encourages companies to donate 1 per cent of equity, staff time, product or profit to their communities.

Harry lies flat, as the Chinese say.

The Dutchess Markle has more than enough ambition for both of them.

Nobody is forced to stay at their job in a free capitalistic economy. Socialism forces people to work, takes their wages, infringes on their freedom, makes people do what the government wants them to do for the sake of the commune. It never actually works. It always ends up in despair.

Pussy. That should have filled with with pride. What a spoiled loser.

THIS kind of thing is why the French chopped the heads off their royalty.

Still wondering if Harry’s here on a visa that allows the Harkles to dodge US income taxes...

I’m amazed nobody’s asked.

How many of us can get a job as some sort of spokesman for some startup, where the work is light and the pay is good, and you follow some dream in doing so?

"I thought everyone had more than $40 million in the bank, a house worth $14 million, jewels and clothes worth millions more, and jobs where no actual work is required and the checks have at least six digits in the amount" said Harry, shocked that ordinary people didn't appreciate his advice.

I cannot believe this. 48 years of my life down the toilet.

OTOH, there is that saying that if you love your job, you’ll never work a day in your life. But I knew fairly early that “professional baseball player, then manager” were not achievable career goals.

LWalking away from one’ job makes it harder to find another one. It is always easier finding your next job when you already have one. Looking for work after quitting is more of a challenge”

To be fair, how could he possibly know that?

What ever happen to deciding what you want to do for 40 years, assessing whether you have the talent to engage in that line of work and then working your butt off through college or trade school or apprenticeship, to achieve that goal?

"One would have thought that living rough in Afghanistan might have changed his perspective on the world"

Who said he lived rough in Afghanistan? I know he was there, but I never saw anything about his living conditions. There is a very good chance that he lived very well compared to his peers, much less the average grunt.
