If you find yourself saying
‘I hate my job and want to quit!’ more and more often, maybe it’s time to take
a look at what you’re doing and why it makes you so unhappy.
Staying at a job you hate
is tough, but there are things you have to consider before you pull the plug.
You need to make sure that
you and your family will be able to survive if it takes a while to get a new
job. It’s always best to have a new job lined up before you quit the old one.
Wouldn’t you like to be
saying, ‘I love my job’, instead of ‘I hate my job and want to quit’? Let’s
take a look at your situation and see if the time is right for you to quit your
job or not.
There are a lot of reasons
that people hate their jobs. Maybe you have a boss that’s an idiot. Is it that
you just really detest what you do at work?
Is getting up early and
working late all the time dragging you down? Do you really have no good time to
take a vacation, or is it that you can only arrange time off when the kids are
in school?
You need to really look at
the situation and see what it is that makes you hate your job. Try making a
list of what you don’t like. Is there anything you can do to change any of
them?
Chances are you won’t be
able to change much, if any, of the issues you have, but you don’t know until
you try. If a few changes would make life more tolerable at work, who knows,
the boss might be willing to work with you.
If there really isn’t any
way to change things and you really hate your job, quitting could be your only
option.
Is your job negatively
affecting your life? Do you spend all your time off thinking about how much you
hate your job? Is it coming between you and your loved ones? Is it making you
just hate your life?
If the issues are that severe,
you may really want to think about doing something different. Something you
would actually enjoy doing.
Unfortunately most of us
can’t just decide to quit our jobs and go do what we want. Careful planning has
to go into these decisions or we could just make everything worse.
Do you have enough money
set aside to pay household expenses until you find a new job? If you don’t have
a monthly budget, you should make one and start living by it before you quit
your current job.
Cut out any unnecessary expenses
and save, save, save. It would be terrible to quit too soon and then find
yourself in a position where you can’t pay to live.
You can start looking for a
job better suited to you while you still have your current job. Update your
resume and start sending it out. It would be better to have a job lined up
before you quit your job. Who wants to end up broke and homeless?
You can say, ‘I hate my job
and want to quit’ all you want, but if you aren’t ready to do so, you are
headed for trouble.
Sometimes people just hate
their jobs because they don’t like to work for someone else. They dream of
having a business of their own where they call the shots.
Many people with an
entrepreneurial spirit make their living this way. If you have what it takes, this
might be a good option for you.
