What To Do When You Hate Your Job

By , About.com GuideAugust 2, 2012

Follow me on:

I hate my job. I hate my company. I hate my boss. Many people do hate something or other about their work and I can't keep track of how many times I've seen those phrases lately - especially on Twitter.

That's not good, for a couple of reasons. First of all, it's tough to go to work every day when you hate it. Secondly, it really isn't good to broadcast the fact that you hate your job all over the Internet.

That doesn't mean you have to keep it. There are steps you can, and should, take to move on if you hate your job and you're not happy at work. We spend too much of our time working to stay in a job or work environment we hate, or even dislike. Besides being happier, you'll do a better job if you're working at a job you love, or at least like.

Here's what to do when you hate your job, including not broadcasting how you feel to the world, how to get started on a job search, and how to move on without burning your bridges.

Do you hate your job?  Add your story to our list of "I hate my job" stories shared by About.com readers.  Don't, by the way, use your name if you share your story - you don't want your boss to find out how you feel about your job or might end up losing it.
