Why You Shouldn’t Remain at a Job You Absolutely Hate

We spend much of our lives working and at work. As soon as we’re out of school, we search around for a job so as to afford buying food, paying bills, and basically to stay alive. As it is now harder than ever to find a job, especially doing something we love, most of us are forced to join jobs or do something that we don’t enjoy. The reason why an astounding 85% of people hate their jobs, is because most people need money and place it above being happy. If you’re unhappy at your job, this is why you should quit. Alan Watts, a British philosopher once spoke on “What if money were no object?” and that has changed our lives forever. There’s a moment when he refers to doing a job for money as “stupid,” because “you skip things you do not like doing, in order to continue living that is to continue doing things you actually do not like doing.” It’s a more in-depth version of YOLO.

With only one life to live, make the most of it. That money won’t follow you to the grave, so do consider it’s important to you. Are decades of misery worth it? While expenses for food and bills payment are essential, is the extra money worth more than doing something you really love. For the sake of health and happiness, remaining in a job that you hate, is pointless. Ideally, try and line up something new before quitting so you don’t put yourself in peril but do get out as soon as possible. Do voice your problems with people you trust as they may possibly help you resolve matters.

If you remain in a job you hate, there is no interest in making a good impression on your boss, or in advancing in the company, and you’ll be doing the same thing, year after year. This is not only bad for your mental well-being, but is bad for future applications. Staying in the same job for ten years without any progress, sends wrong signals to potential employers. It’s better to get out early and search a job you’ll love, or at least enjoy much more. The higher your work motivation levels, better the chances of promotion (and a pay rise). That certainly does a lot of good.

Your mental health suffers

Mental Health issues are something that most jobs still fail to cater to and the impact it has on your psychological well-being is severe enough to develop depression and feel miserable every time you get out of bed, to go out for work.

Working at a job that makes you miserable, has a depressing effect on your personal behavior. It can ensure you losing friends as you feel too depressed to socialize with people or you tend to snap at people, irrationally. That’s a dangerous way to live. No job should ever have such an impact on you, especially after office-hours. Don’t lose your values or yourself before it’s too late. Even those who love our jobs would prefer not to work all the time. Doing something that makes us happy, is always a better alternative.
