Has anyone out there cried because they hate their job?

Answer 1

Who hasn't, at one time or another! Before it becomes intolerable, get more training, job-search, change areas. Figure out whether it's the JOB or your SUPERVISOR!! Then problem-solve!! I truly believe that each person has a nitche--IF it can be found!!! Good Luck!

Answer 2

Yes, I went from being a waitress and going to school to working in an office with about a dozen other people who were all about twice my age. I think I cried everyday for a good month or two, I was miserabe... That was 10 years ago, I'm still doing to same kind of work and still not thrilled but I realize the power of my paycheck and don't cry so much anymore...

Answer 3

Yes lot's of people cry because they hate their job an because of all the disrespect that they get when they are trying hard to do the job the best that they know how.

Answer 4

oh i've done that......... which then makes you feel even worse that youre a grown woman and certain people are such jerks they have you in tears.

the one job i had a long while back i was so miserable at towards the end of it because of stupid crap i had to deal with there...... i'd literally cry in the morning before i went in because i didnt want to even go in and have to deal with it. I think it makes things worse when youre working at a place with 2 year olds in grown bodies and all you want to do is work to earn a living.

but try not to cry in front of them or let them know thier insane rottenness affects you....lol thats how they get their jollies, and its only more encouraging to them to continue. realise that THEY are the ones that are screwed up in the head and just ignore the childishness and go in and work.

and when you start to be affected by their nonsense while at work......... walk away, take a breather, regroup, get back in there and do your job as if their nonesense, stupidity and immaturity didnt even affect you.... then look for another job.

Answer 5

Yes, I think a lot of people who don't have the right credentials to get their ideal job are going to feel bad when they get a job they aren't too satisfied with. But have your idea goal always in mind and don't get distracted from it unless it is better to.

The thing is though that having a job is like taking care of someone else's stuff. You might do it for the money but you may not do it because of any emotional attachment or desire, and so that is why most people hate their job, because they don't have any emotional attachment or desire to do it.

Both the desire and the money give people the drive to do something. The money appeals more to their head, while the desire appeals more to their heart. Sometimes we have the head telling us we want the money, but the desire is not there so it is not very motivating for us to do something. It is not as motivating as having both the money and the desire to do it. This might be the problem. But I have also heard people say that they call it work because it is not supposed to be fun. And that is why you get paid to do it. However, I have seen people do work, get paid, for things they enjoy doing so I don't totally agree with that statement.

So if you can, TRY HARD to find something you will desire doing, and that will make money for you. This is usually the ideal type of job for most people. A desire to do something without being paid is working on your hobbies. On the other hand, being paid to do something with no desire to do it, can sometimes be miserable. So if you can, find both something you desire to do and that you will also get paid to do. Then you will have found your ideal job. This might not be easy to do, but I think if you look within and without for this, then you are more likely to find it.

Sometimes starting your own business is the way to go, but this is not easy though because you have to do more work and have to worry about more things. But if you can manage that and be able to support yourself when business might be slow, then it may be more satisfying. This is usually why most people start their own business when they have more in the savings and have worked for someone else for a few years or more.

I would say, that when deciding what to do, follow your heart, despite what you think others might think of you for doing it. This way you will enjoy your work more often and less time crying about it. As long as it is not illegal then it should be fine. My problem, I think, was that I used to care too much what other people thought if I were doing those jobs, like oh they will look down on me or they will laugh at me or they will disapprove, etc, and this stopped me from doing certain jobs or going down a certain career path. Based on my experiences, I would probably not worry about what other people thought, if you do worry about what others think.

Some other pieces of advice:
(1) Maybe you would be happier working with friends, so ask friends if you can work with them wherever they are working so you don't feel like a stranger.

(2) Maybe you aren't picking the right jobs. So spend more time thinking about what you really want to do, and then apply to those jobs, not just any random job or company.

(3) Maybe you are only looking at the negative side to your job, instead of the positive. Maybe you should think about only the positive aspects of the job while ignoring the negatives, if possible. I am not saying deceive yourself, but to help you get through the day and the next day, that this is what might be best. This will make going to work more pleasurable, instead of painful. If there are no positive aspects of the job, then maybe you picked the wrong one, and that you have to pick the right one again. So, learn to choose right.

(4) Pick a job based on desire instead of necessity. This usually has better results with you being happier.

Hope that helps and I hope you find the ideal job soon.
