Thread: Hate your Job?

Hi. I'm _______, and I hate my job.


How do you handle the stress of hating your job? Do you have an exit strategy?

Probably did not handle the stress very well of hating my job. More or less just kept my head down and shoulder to the grindstone waiting for the retirement exit strategy to show up. The exit showed up at 56 and have been virtually stress free for 5 years now not having worked a day since. Best job I have ever had.

I loved my Job (business) of 43 yrs, I got offshored 3 yrs ago and was forced to retire I hate not working.

I realized that a new job is just the same problems at a new address. Corporate America is the same everywhere, so unless the job issues are specifically related to a supervisor don't expect a new place to be much better. That new-to-you job is often (but not always) open because the prior employee hated his/her job, too.

This. At the end of the day we work for people.

So true! One thing I learned a long time ago, only the names and faces change...the BS remains the same.

The only job I hate is one I can't leave. I hated bartending.

Pix, my friend, be careful what you wish for. I grew up in a grocery store and vowed never to be back in that business again. Years later, tough times, moved cross country to be near my kids, history bit me in the ass, managed convenience stores for 12 years and took early retirement to get away from it. Look inside yourself, you might find the job solution waiting to surface.

Razorfeld my friend.. If it wasn't for grocers nobody would know where to buy food. Look you said... Look inside. Thats hard work. You have to be tireless.
