what to do when you hate your job

First, you should know what makes you hate your job. It is just the workload? Are you just stressed and you need some time off? Is it the people around you? Or something else? Second, once you know what makes you hate your job, then you should come up with ways on how to resolve your issues. For example, I hated my job because it became so easy that I'm really getting bored about it. I talked to my boss and he gave me some other tasks that I will find challenging. In that way, I became more interested because it will be a new learning for me. Later on, I realized that I don't like my job because of the night schedule. I had worked four years of nightshifts all my life and I realized that it's not good for my health. I talked to my boss and we agreed that since I can't go on dayshift all the time since we're working with clients on the opposite side of the world, I could go on rotating shift. I go on mid for a month, alternate with nightshift on a monthly basis. Third, if nothing still works and no alternatives can be taken, look for other opportunities. But make sure that the one you'll take to replace your current job would be the exact one you're looking for. Otherwise, leaving your current company will be useless.

I don't see anything wrong with staying at the job you're at and also looking for other employment at the same time. I would keep my primary job until I found something more enjoyable and have full time or equivalent shifts you are working now. Take care

It depends to what extent a person can hate his or her job. Sometimes there are unpleasant tasks within an otherwise enjoyable job and at other times we may just be having a span of bad days. If it becomes more than that, I think it’s worth looking at the situation and planning to look for another job because life is way too short to spend it in an occupation that makes you feel sad. I used to go to a job years ago that I hated so much…I would sit in a café every morning and cry into my coffee before catching a bus to work! It was not a good existence..

Hi ,when there is no satisfaction in doing some job or work better quit it at once.Rather getting bored and working in an environment which makes u unhappy better quuit it so that u can get another good oportunity.

I, myself, want to look for another job. It's because I don't have any love for my job from the start. I just had no choice then because there was nothing else to choose. Every time that I get my paycheck, I just don't feel the excitement and fulfillment because I know that I'm not doing my best in this job and that I'm not worthy of it. I want to have a job wherein I'd be able to feel growth in my skills, knowledge and talent and there's fulfillment. I hope I'll find that within this year.

If the prime reason is because you don't like your boss, it is better to resign and look for another good job. Your day is like a hell when seeing your toxic boss. It happen to some time ago that I was supposed to love that job because to support my needs. But I need to gave it up because a lady boss that seems doesn't like me. I feel like she was a fault finder that she kept on watching me to fail in something. I thought of my self that what was the use of staying in that company with an arrogant boss. Imagine! even when we were in the same elevator she will gave a cold shoulder if I threw a smile to her. I was hurt then. The next time we were in the same elevator I tried to disregard and ignore her presence as if I did not see her. You know what she did,she clamor to my colleagues that I was a rude and ungracious. I did not bother to say sorry since I knew her motives until the more I ignore her the more she hates. I said to myself, so what if she was my boss, being an employee is our common denominator. I would go whatever it took me here. Eventually I did resign because I hate her more everyday.

I had a temporary summer job working in a hotel, It involved long hours, heavy work and little pay. I used to grumble and complain but a middle aged woman full of wisdom once told me. Ok you have every right to grumble and protest about little wage. But do keep in your mind that you are getting paid at the end of the month. I did keep that in mind and used to bite my lip instead of grumbling. Eventually I continued to study, enter university and have a better job with higher earnings.

Well, I don't hate my job but I don't like it either. I don't know why I were in this industry. I'm a counselor for studying abroad in a small company. Works here is very simple and I feel very free because sometimes I don't have anything to do and just sit in front of the computer and browse websites. Sometimes I feel it's very boring and annoyed while sometimes I think it's quiet good because I don't have to use my head. I want to change my job but it's not that easy because I think which industry is suitable for me. I want to try different industries actually but before I get another better offer, I won't leave.

I read from a management column that when you are in an entry job or new in a particular job, you need to be a good follower because it your superiors who would see and direct you to your career development. You can just imagine if you are being the boss when you are not. I understand that it is difficult being bossed around, being the center of scrutiny especially when you are new. Your higher ups have great expectations from you because the company has hired you because logically, they needed your talents to contribute to productivity and of course increase profit in the company. When you are in the same position for many years and you feel like your bored. I think there you have to assess yourself, ask your manager about your assessment/maybe you can review your appraisal... there you can have the idea on where was you bad at or good at. Maybe you needed variety. Maybe you needed a little push. If you have meetings and the boss asks for suggestions, maybe it's time for you to suggest something new and explorable ways to bring something fresh to an idea. I can't imagine how people last and still functions to the job they don't like. It must have been a very stressful one but I guess they just see to it that the job is done on the right time and they get high compensation from it.

get out... that's the most logical thing to do, i believe. why suffer? there are choices.

Obviously, it's better to quit if you don't like your job. But if you can't quit because of some important reasons.. financial probs to be exact, then you just have to adjust with your surroundings. Make your workplace more "you", look for relaxation techniques to manage stress during work hours, think of your SALARY lol! you can also make an after work relaxation time like dining out with your loved ones so you'll just have to look forward getting your work done faster so you can be with your family to enjoy the rest of the day. If you have nasty workmates, deal with them or "if you can't beat them, join them". Just DON'T like one them that you'll forget who you really are. you've got to stick to your principles.

Simple if you are not happy anymore with the job you have then quite (resign). But think of what will happen it you don't have a job. Where will you get money for your basic needs? I have been through with it. I worked for more than 5years and it come to the point that i was bored with the work i have everyday. Everyday's routine is not anymore challenging for i know already, then I resign. Now, I'm jobless for more than a year. I still can't find a work. Its not that easy to find a job but its easy to resign. So, think of my situation right now. All i can say is that "be patient". Love your work as you love yourself.

If i don't my job, it is a time for me to say goodbye with the company already. I believe the most important motive for us to work on a job is happy. If i hate the job or company, no point for me to stay. Why not try to change a job. There are always opportunity. Anyway, just my point of view. Happy mylotting.

you can try and sucking it up and at the same time just look and apply at other jobs that interest you :) or decide and open your own working business.. hope this helps..

Adjusting with it unless you land up in a new job is the only option.Job satisfaction is actually a myth, Who would be completely satisfied with one"s vocation?

One best thing to do when you hate your job is to find a different job. You should start looking for job when you start hating the job. This will keep your confidence level up when you attend interviews because you already have a job in hand and you are looking for a job change. Once you feel like you totally hate the job, you will be pissed off and it affects your interest and confidence in finding a new job.

Nothing is worse than going everyday to a job you hate. i know this from my own experience,. When I found myself in this position, i put my heaart and sou inro job hunting. I knew i would never be happy as long as I hated my job.

If I hated my job, I will work for another one year. Try to save my salary as many as I can. From that salary I can start a small business and a year will give time what kind business you wanna do. I try having own business will give a lot satisfaction for us.

I have a very bad experience in one of my job that I hated the most, I was worked like crazy with that job, start work at 8.30am and go back in the morning, 1-2am sometime until the next day...that was the worst job I had before....So what I did was I quit the job even though I have not get another job yet...I have rest for about a month........

Its better to quit your job then look for another or put up your own business but before that happens you will be needing a capital
