Each week in “I Hate My Job,” we bring you insights from the minds of disengaged workers across the Twittersphere. The biggest lessons is that there’s no one reason why people hate their jobs and why they’re disengaged.
Dissatisfaction is driven by personality, life circumstances, day-to-day stresses and much more. This is just a glimpse.
But each week we try to pick out a diverse set that illustrates all the things that turn people off to their workplace and employer. Perhaps they’ll inspire you to take action?
1. With great hatred comes great responsibility
@SogMarc @RediTlhabi I think hating is normal. But what is done through hatred is NOT normal. I hate my job but i do it with great commitmen

5. You scratch your job’s back and your job will scratch your back?
I hate how stressful & demanding my job is but I like that I rarely work weekends & I get off early on weekdays. So I guess it balances out.
