A former flight attendant who gained thousands of social media followers after sharing her enviable lifestyle on Instagram has revealed she's quit due to the lack of 'flexibility' and 'robotic' nature of the job.

Brigita Jagelaviciute, who is originally from Lithuania but is now based in Dubai, shocked her 78,000 Instagram followers with a YouTube Vlog explaining why she quit her role at Emirates.

The globetrotter said that despite the seemingly glamorous image of her job, it was difficult to take annual leave during her three years of working for the airline, and added that colleagues were refused time off for family sickness and weddings.

'As much as I hate to say negative things about the airline I have to be honest,' she said. 'Flexibility is not something that was really possible as a flight attendant.'

She continued: 'I haven't personally experienced them, but I've heard stories of people wanting to get married and couldn't get leave.'

'Some have had family members who were sick and they wanted to go home but couldn't because they couldn't get leave.'

'At the end of the day we're human beings, and the fact that you're not respected by the company as an individual was really difficult for me.'

Brigita, who has since been hired as a personal assistant, racked up over 30,000 views on her YouTube video.

'I loved this job so much for the first couple of years,' she explained. 'I was literally, as you probably assume, this amazing flight attendant. You guys always asked me, "How did I get this job and how do I apply to get this job."'

'It was literally like a dream. You wake up staying in this amazing hotel, you go for a flight and then you go to the Seychelles, New York, LA.'

Brigita has gained over 78,000 Instagram followers and 34,000 YouTube subscribers from sharing her enviable lifestyle as a flight attendant

Brigita went on to admit how she had made a conscious decision not to share the negative sides of her job while working for the Emirates.

'One of my main concerns about this job was that it wasn't very stimulating,' she said. 'It becomes very robotic and doesn't push you to grow as an individual.'

'For me, I always felt that I'm the kind of person who needs a push and wants to achieve something.'

The Vlogger, who has visited over 70 countries, told how over time she became miserable, to the point that she started crying when her contract was due for renewal.

She also revealed that being at Emirates resulted in her missing opportunities including an interview with Allure magazine and work as a travel content creator.

'It's very easy to lose your time, lose your money and your energy in this job,' she said, reflecting on her time as an air hostess.

'I think the most important thing is thinking, what do you actually want out of this experience - do you want money? Do you want to travel and then go home after a couple of years?'

'It's so easy to lose the concept of time because you're always flying, you're always tired or recovering from a flight. Time goes by so, so quickly.'

Brigita claimed the job also began to impact her identity as she became known simply as, 'Emirates cabin crew.'

She also cited rules expected of her role, which included not wearing jewellery on your index finger, and told how she regrets not speaking out at times when male colleagues behaved inappropriately.

Many who dreamed of working for the company were quick to take to the comments section, praising Brigita for sharing her story.

'Thank you for sharing your experience,' wrote one. 'My story as cabin crew is very similar to yours.'

'I'm going to complete three years at another airline soon and I am feeling I need to move on from it, learn something new, grow.'

'Also the rules you mentioned. It's not easy to always follow them, we're only human after all. I can relate to everything you said here.'

A second added: 'It's been more than three years since I wanted to join Emirates, but I agree that it's a job just for a period of time.'

However, others blasted Brigita for complaining about the role, arguing that being a flight attendant would be repetitive.

'How many jobs allow you to travel the world, to stay in 5* hotels and at the end of the month pay you a decent salary?' wrote one, while a second commented:

'You're a flight attendant... stop complaining about the repetitive... seriously so easy'

A third added: 'It seems like you wasted valuable years of your life so that you can "travel," while you could have spent those years studying and working your way towards something more meaningful than being a personal assistant to a rich family in Dubai.'
