How do you cope in a job that seems to be getting more redundant every day?

Answer 1

Drugs and Alcohol

Answer 2

Depending on what kind of job you have. There are some jobs that allow you to pursue different tracks (nursing, medicine, etc.). Change is a good idea if its too redundant already. Of course, if there are many dependents involved that changing a job might be hard, one has to think carefully first before quitting. Continuing education might offer some challenge. Asking for a promotion or change in department might also help.

Answer 3

By redundant, I assume you mean that the tasks you are doing are unnecessary and are a waste of the companys money and time, not to mention your time. You may just want to look for another job or there are other options if you like the company you are working for.

One possibility is to go to your employer and just be polite but strait with him saying that you hope not to lose your job and would still like to have a job with the company, but you feel its your responsibility to your boss to show that the company would save money by eliminating your particular position. This would instill trust and respect in your boss seeing that your are willing to put yourself on the line to save him money. Could also backfire and he'll let you go, in wich case (depending on where you are from) you may be eligable for unemployment benefits and you would then have the time and the resources to look for a more rewarding career.

Answer 4

Is there any way you can spice it up, like starting a new project or meeting new people? Or is it the kind of job where you're the official stamp licker? If you can't stand where you work and you don't feel like you're moving forward, then quit and find a new job, otherwise, try and see what your possibilities are...
