This week in ‘I Hate My Job’ – October 7 2015

By Jamie Lawrence

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. Flattery will not get you a job you love

today when I was working a kid about 5/6 came up to me & goes “you’re beautiful” CUTEST THING EVER still hate my job tho

5. The little things make no difference when the big things aren’t right

I get an extra long break tonight and I got really excited and then I realized that a long break isn’t that great and I hate my job.

6. It’s amazing just how much job satisfaction influences life satisfaction

I hate my life I hate working with a passion I can’t believe how much disappointment my job brings into my life
