Honestly I am very thankful that I have a job because I know a lot of people is unemployed but I am not happy with my job. I work in a Hotel and I am tired of dealing with public all the time. I work in a reception and we need to have a lot of responsability either with money, we need to be sure that the guests don't leave without leaving a bill to pay, teither with guests complains. We need to do anything we can to make them happy and even if we do our best they still complain sometimes and are very rude. Besides all that the schedules can be complicated if someone leaves the job we need to work extra days or extra hours to teach someone new and after awhile is like our life is only work and work and our personal life gets behind. I really wish I can find a job that makes me happy

Many many jobs are like this. They take over your life. And sometimes we have to just say we can't work extra because. You have something real important to take care of

You are absolutely right. Our life can't be just working.

it sucks having customers complain but... that's customer service. there's always gonna be someone who isn't happy and you can't please everyone. believe me, we have similar customers. I hope you can find a job that makes you happy. it can be very draining on your physical and mental well being if you don't enjoy what you do. the job I'm working now was not something I ever thought I'd do, but I really enjoy the people I work with and (most of) the customers. it really helps having good coworkers.

In your free time you can always look into something closer to what you enjoy, so you can be happy at your job. Until then, keep the job you have, so you have extra income coming in.

Yes I will keep my job until I can find something better I couldn't just leave without having other thing to go to because I have bills to pay and right now is a risky time to leave my job. In my country we still have a lot of things closed due to the lockdown so it is a hard time to find a new job.

I'm sorry it's so difficult. However, dealing with the public like that, you'll encounter it more than you like. I hope you can find a job you like.

Yes I am used to it. I work as a receptionist since 7 years already. It's just the stressing environment that is bothering me after all these years.

I am an engineer and work in a reputed company which is in to the manufacturing and daily we get the production targets and don't able to meet them. That's the reason I don't like my job otherwise I am thankful to God that at least I have a good salaried job.

I know how you feel about having to deal with angry customers since negative feelings take a toll on all of us emotionally.
