If you hate your job, look for another. (job hunting, interviews, paid)

[statisticsnerd]

Your boss/bosses, coworkers, the job itself, the hours, the pay....

Find a new job. It's that simple. Treat job hunting as a second job. Make a goal of sending out five resumes every evening and you won't have to deal with your nasty boss/coworkers at that horrible job for much longer.

Should aim for at least 10 a day I think, Unless in a very niche industry. It can be a numbers game in this economy and job market. People send out 100 or more and get just one or two interviews many times. Plus one has to filter out the scams, agencies ect.

I hated my job the first day I started. 20 years later I'm still doing it. Sometimes you just got to do what you need to do to get the bills paid.

I agree. I don't understand why people just keep complaining about their job conditions. If they think they're being treated unfairly, they should just move on to a different job.

Well, the OP is right. Some people, like my husband, complain about their job EVERY DAY but do nothing to change their situation. It's maddening.


I think it is either:


- they ENJOY being unhappy.
- they are terrified of change. Any change.
- It really isn't that bad, and they just want to complain.

It's also been spoken of oh, about 100 times....

Lead a horse you know?

The danger is this: what if your new job is even worse? Sometimes it's better to stick with the devil you know vs the devil you don't know.

For some people, having a crappy job is like tolerating an abusive wife.

In both cases, at least you know what to expect and it's a big pain to make a change.

So they just whine.
