Hate Your Job- 10 Tips to Survive (Part I)
December 19th, 2007 . by GrigoryDo you like you job? Well, ok, you are paid well enough, your boss loves you, you work just 30 hours a week, the company pays for your Medicare and you fitness-club but… that’s not the answer to my question. DO YOU REALLY LOVE YOU JOB?
Have you ever been telling yourself: “ That’s it! I hate it! I heavily hate my office job!” Did you? I did. Everyone get tired with the annoying company partners, second shift, silly orders, limited internet access and God knows what else.
You can easily find the sites, like JobVent, devoted to the loved or hated jobs, and it seems to me that the last ones are in the clear majority. Just click on any company and read the comments to the company’s reviews- the are full of anger and hatred.
I don’t think that there is any need to show the numbers from the statistic
But what to do? It’s always hard to deal with the job you hate. In worst cases you have just to stand in a hope of better times, cause there are always the bills you have to pay and food you have to buy.
Here are 10 tips to help you to overcome the torture:
1. Fulfillment maintaining.
This is the most important one. You never know what is waiting for you the day after tomorrow but be sure that all the evil you ever did will come to light in a most inappropriate moment. So whatever is happening around you – you must keep doing your job and do it well.
2. Self-development
Whatever is being paid for supposed to be the article of trade- a cup of coffee in Starbucks, new version of Norton Utilities, a water park ticket… As long as you receive your salary- you sell all your skills, all your experience and knowledge to your employer- you are the article of trade. And the more experienced you are- the more expensive you are. Ok, you hate your boss and are not planning to stay in this office any longer. But what prevent you from self –development (you should read “increasing your cost”) while looking for a new job, for a better one? Use every opportunity for the personal improvement. Attend all the training courses and seminars your company offers to you- let you boss pay for your future added value. Just realize that by the time you quit- you should be the best candidate ever.
