Are you still inspired to work?

No I'm not....my work sucks due to the people around me....I love the work itself but the environment really sucks.....however, I know how to fight and fight silently, through emails....I am working in a multi-cultural set-up.....different mentalities, different attitude, different behavior, different cultures....these are just among the challenges....another thing is the competency of the people around, most of them have no hotel background, they do not know even the basic procedures and processes, i have to fight with them to follow whatever i had implemented....you are luckier as you are free at 5pm, for me no.....i need to render unpaid overtime just to finish the task...during the day I have no concentration as people talks too much, bothers too much, phone ringing every 5 minutes...but I need to stay for another year as it wouldn't be good in my work records to leave at this stage....so I will go on fighting....

I've always been a work aholic. I worked 60-80 hours (outside my home) and after that I had to work at home (my own shelter) and after that do my housekeeping and kids. So I hardly slept. As I quite with this all I thought I would never manage, I would have had so many time left over to do ... I would be bored. But the thing is I still am running out of time. I don't miss the work at all. At that time it was inspiring me and gave me a lot of energy but I also had no time for me and way too less for my kids. I am much happier now even I have very less money and my savings are nearly all used by now.

i am sorry to hear this. currently, it is not a nagging boss that is taking away the inspiration. it is how things are going along in the organization. there are a lot of improvements to make especially in the evaluation of people and giving increases to their pay. some people can live the day in the office not doing anything and not working for an output. some people are given more work to do while the others are just doing nothing. sad, isn't it?

This is a sad state. If you are becoming unhappy with your current job, you need to internalize or assess your goals. Think why you applied in that company and why you are working there? Think of your career goals. Do not focus on the people around you or those who are making your life miserable. Remember, they will not be able to pissed you if you don't allow them. If you see that the company would still be able to provide you the requirements to meet your personal goal, then don't just give up. Fight back in a diplomatic and proper way. Show them that it is you that they need. However, if you feel that you are not achieving your personal goal in that company, I believe it is time to jump off. Do not talk bad about the company and do not burn bridges. That way, you will not have a ghost that would hunt you when you work for other company. Know that you are still part of the company so anything you say against it would come back to you. Another tip, read "How to manage your boss". It will give you some advise on how you will be able to cope with an irate boss. Goodluck!!!

you don't seem to love your work at all.. well most of us don't.. each morning we have to force ourselves to wake up which can be a very sick routine.. you may love or may not love your job, find something interesting to do within your job, see from the aspects of your skill and your interest and find something you can enjoy doing every day. but if you still feel unhappy, then the job is not for you..if you can find something you love to do everyday, then your current job won't seem so bad after all.. good luck!!

Work is something to live for and be happy to have one. However, if your work environment makes you misery then its not healthy anymore. The criteria of a happy and efficient worker to his or her work is that "each day you look forward of doing your job". It draws out the best in you. It motivates you to reach the optimum level of your career. Then so, if you fell non of these fits - then you are not in a healthy working environment. Make a move and save yourself and don't be afraid to take a big leap to cross over a new horizon in order to reach your goal.

I have only had a couple of jobs in my life. They were both before I was the age of 18. My husband has schizophrenia and temprol lobe seizures and he is not allowed to work or be at home with the kids alone. So I have been at home raising kids. We have 8 kids. The Oldest now is 21 and the youngest is 11. I have thought about going into the workforce and it scares me alot. I do not have many skills and am a very shy person. I really hope that your situation can turn around for you. And it is good to hear that you have an outlet like mylot to share your story.

Job stress and tension can get the better of us at times.I feel meditating for a few moments early in the morning can give us inner peace and we are ready for the travails of life.Early morning walk or some exercise makes us more alert for the day.Its good that you keep faith in God in these difficult situations.Queries and replies on my lot are a useful source of stress busters.

I'm sorry you feel that way at work. Always sucks when you have to go to a job you hate. I feel that all the time. I hate, hate, hate my job and it's been sometime and I haven't done anything about it because I just can't seem to find a new one. D*mn. Although for me, there's only one person I hate ~ de eveel boss! And, yes, thankfully ML is open as other social networks have been banned as well. Although, from the way things are, I wouldn't be surprised if ML gets banned, too. I think somebody's spying on my computer.

Feeling thankful and happy is very hard when you do your best at work and others still make you feel miserable. I had a job for years where i almost went crazy. My boss was sitting in the same office room or next door, always watching and criticizing my work, not giving five minutes break all day, and what i earned was only enough to pay the bills. Resigning was the only option for me and thank to God he finally gave me strength for it. I thought i would never feel like working again but when i got something even if that was just a little bit better I got inspired again.
