Do you hate your job? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. lovelyn_medrano (809)   ranked 1,729 out of 38,607 in life3 months ago

Hi mylotters! I heard so many people complaining about their jobs. They keep on telling their friends and family that if it is only not needed and if they have a choice they will surely quit their jobs. Do you find yourself in that same boat? Or do you feel the same about that, somehow and sometime in your life?

In my personal opinion, I think rather than complaining we should think that God put us in that job for a reason. Maybe that job is our stepping stone and just a preparation for a better opportunity. We must just get something and learn from everything that we are doing.

My first job? I hate it; I find it boring and felt that it was making me really sick. The repetitive assignments is really annoying me. Every morning I was like pulling my toes hard to report to my work. But soon I realize that it is not bad at all because I learned a lot from it. And now I am applying the things I learned from it even at home.

It's kind of like the old saying "You don't know what you've got, until it is gone." That is how a lot of people realized that they had really good jobs in the past, and some of them wish that they had that job back.

But, then again, I have seen some people who really appreciate their jobs. I have been in that position before. I had a really good job, and I would constantly be telling people that I worked for a good company, and that I was glad that I worked for them.

I no longer had that job, and sometimes wonder if there was anything that I could have done different. Then again, the company was downsizing, so there wasn't really anything that I could have done. It was just a matter of corporate issues I suppose. I was just working at a single store, so the decisions were well beyond my level of decision making.

Well then, you must learn to love your new job now. I believe you do have a purpose there. We are where we are for a reason.

Haha. Sorry, I didnt want to make you shameful at all. i was just pointing out that everything is relative and, though I have to deal with the nastiness of that place, overall the work isnt too strenuous. I actually am a plant operator so much of my job is technical, even though i do leave there everyday covered in filth:o). Just sharing my job with those who want to listen!

I don't hate my job. I actually like my job a lot. I have normal complaints about my job of course. We do have some issues at work like everyone does. People always have some sort of complaint about their place of work but I don't mind getting up and going to work each day. I don't dread walking through the doors.

At my last place of employment, I worked part time until I could finish with my schooling. I only worked 3 hours a day and I hated it so much. I dreaded walking in those doors but I needed the job to get me through the summer until I could find a better job somewhere else. I always went in as late as I could and left as soon as I could. It wasn't the best place to work and I'm very glad I quit and found a better job!


myLot reputation of 99/100. lovelyn_medrano (809)   ranked 1,729 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

It is good that you find a better job. Work place and environment really should be taken into consideration in choosing jobs.

aha,my friend,this a good topic, I can find someone to talk about it, I really do not like my job, even hate,why,my salary is too low,and I must do a lot of work,I do not want to do it now,but now I have no way to change it,so I still have to do .do,do,do it made me very upset,I have no choice now .I just want to make much money to let my life be better. I believe myself,I can do it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lovelyn_medrano (809)   ranked 1,729 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

Well yes, sometimes we feel that we are being abused. We work beyond the scope of our responsibilities. We cannot complain because the big boss is the one asking that from us. I believe the reason behind that is either the boss is just cutting cost and would not want to hire a new employee or he just truly trusted our work. I always like to think the second one more as a reason. I set my mind that way everytime I was ask to do again task that I don't think is my work anymore.

What I really dislike about completing the additional task are as follows:

1. I never got any additional benefits from it.
2. I got stress out because I need to meet deadlines
3. I need to render overtime again
4. Workloads are to many to handle which makes it really hard.

Hi lovelyn!

My work is my bread and butter right now and I've been with my company for almost four years. I enjoy my work and I appreciate all the benefits I have from them.

You are right, at some point we may be in a position where in we have to decide if our present job really fulfill our needs. And sometimes the answer is no...because of some factors such as working environment, salary and the work or job itself. I also tend to get bored with repetitive tasks. lol Good thing our company offers job rotation which is a great favor to me.

I too believe that God has reason why we are in a certain position or place. There is always a purpose for everything. And we have to realize the best things that may come our way by just giving our trust and faith with Him.

Happy mylotting!happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. lovelyn_medrano (809)   ranked 1,729 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

Hi danitykane! That boredom feeling do come and go. It is really normal. It is good that your company do some rotation of work. That allows employees to be flexible. Learning new things is fun. Have a nice day!

I don't hate my job. In fact, I really like it. I'm where I want to be. I feel sorry for people who have not yet found the right place for them. And even if I have to quit my job one day, I would not regret working there. I've learned a lot from the company and I'm sure I could use that knowledge for other jobs that I would do.


myLot reputation of 88/100. HelloMickey (1096)   ranked 7,111 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

You have a very positive working attitude, I run my own company now and really enjoy my career. When I was younger I also worked happily in the company and always thought that I learnt from there, so I am quite happy to hear the same saying from others. Good luck and hope you have a happy life.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lovelyn_medrano (809)   ranked 1,729 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

The knowledge and experience that we got from our work is really incomparable. It is so good to hear that you have a work that you truly like. You are really lucky to have a work that really interest you.

I am hating my job too.

As a member of people who complain their jobs, I have benn tired of my job and have no passion to keep doing it any more. But on the other hand, I have to tolerant of if for it is difficult to find a better job in our country, China, which has a large of population and full of competitions.

I may choose to work at home if I have a chance to make a choice in the future. For example, I like making money online freely and enjoy the time with friends online.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lovelyn_medrano (809)   ranked 1,729 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

There are really people who settle to work in a company that they dislike because of financial factor. They feel like they don't have a choice because there is no other job available for them. The fact is, they are luckier because some people even if they have diplomas don't have jobs. It is better to make the most of our time and learn from it rather than staying depressed and frustrated all the time.

I'm not into a job still other than mylotting! I'm currently a student. But seeing this discussion i felt like responding to this as i hate what I'm learning now. I just can't go with the syllabus of this course. The main reason behind hating them is that i hate learning useless theory subjects. I'm looking forward to getting into an computer animation course and find a job from that.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lovelyn_medrano (809)   ranked 1,729 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

When I was still studying, I really cannot see the importance of learning some of the subjects. I feel bored knowing that I am not going to use that to the jobs that I will be in in the future. I see it useless and waste of time.

I do like my course, but those mathematical angles, trigometry... gosh! I hate it. There is no way I am gonna use it in my line of work. Not my interest at all.

myLot reputation of 99/100. lovelyn_medrano (809)   ranked 1,729 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

I guess it is a normal nature of people to complain and complain about their work. We only see sometimes the bad things that we dislike and ignore the benefits that we get from our work. For every work, we learn new things and we can always make use of that.

I am a wedding designer which use flowers as the theme, I have done it nearlu one year, I like this job, because I love flowers, I believe that most girls can not rejece it.

However, in doing for a period of time, I quit the job resolutely. Many people have asked me why, I don't know how to answered, I don't want the job made me lose interest in and love of flowers.

The love of my job does not allow me to continue this job, because many other reasons, the job itself is not interested. Interest, once they come to the job, doed not necessarily make you like it, so if you hate this job, please do not leave it easily.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lovelyn_medrano (809)   ranked 1,729 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

If we really do things routinely, time will really come that we will lose our interest no matter how overwhelming our desire at first. It is because we do things automatically, every thing is given, every thing is scripted. We lose our excitement and passion. Routine jobs limit our ability to grow. It drains your brain. Try to do new things once in a while, apply some twist and turns.

Good luck to you and happy mylotting!
