I hate working

[Greens0172]

I hate working. Im 35. Thats it thats the thread

Do a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life……..time to make a career move perhaps?!?!

You need to find a career you like.It is possible to change your career and your job.Then you won't feel so bad.
You've got to do.something about it you're young enough to change, well it's always possible.

A lot of folk don't like working. That's what benefits are for and why the country is heading for disaster.

I felt the same, until I went very part time (possible because I'm very frugal, no kids, and earnt 40-50k full time). Now I kinda look forward to work as it gets me out of the house!

The OP has certainly struck a chord with her thread title!

They're the lazy fucks and a separate issue altogether. Also, that isn't what benefits are for.

Most people accept they have to work, doesn't mean they have to like it though.

NHS Nurse age 44.
can’t stick it until retirement age!!

Def have a serious think about what you could change to make you happier. I have been in jobs I loathed (to the extent of being tearful on Sunday evenings at the thought of another working week) and I absolutely understand how you feel.

However , I am in a job I adore now and skip into the office!! My actual job is interesting but I think it’s the people that make a big difference too. Nice colleagues are vital.

I dont so much hate working. But i hate the feeling of being trapped in one place.

I want to go for a week to france, belgijm, spain, austria.

I need to look for a remote E.U. job.

Lots of people come on here to complain they are fed up with parenting. But noone replies to say, that's what fostering is for, give up your child to the council and it'll be their problem now
Benefits are clearly designed for those who can't work. Yes there are some people playing the system, but I think far less than people make out.

People are allowed to say they find something in there lives a bit shit and complain , even if it's necessary and they'll carry on doing it regardless

countin down now, 3.5 more years to get my full ni paid (35 years) then I’m quitting. We chose a smaller aka cheaper house to retire early, dh has already retired, he’s older

Me too.

I went down to a 4 day week as soon as I possibly could (at 30) and a three day week at 37.

I subsidised my income by renting out my spare room to a good friend. DH and I still rent out the spare room now, which allows me to be a sahm (which I love).

I pretend to think about returning to work when dc starts school, but I really don't want to.

Maybe I'd feel differently if my job mattered, but it was really just pointless paper shuffling.

Tough shit its a necessary evil. Find a job you'd enjoy and quit moaning.

I see the usual suspects are out in force today. FYI, an awful lot of jobs are pointless and unfulfilling. It's not lazy or skiving or feminism-gone-mad to recognise this.

OP, I recomnend Bullshit Jobs by the late great David Graeber. It won't solve your immediate problem, but it's a good antidote to the tedious neoliberal tosh spouted on here so often when this kind of topic comes up.

We’re allowed to have a moan. It’s therapeutic. I bloody despise my job but I’m trapped by the pension. It’s a good one and can’t be transferred anywhere else otherwise I’d be off like a shot.

Nhs or teacher?

I am sorry. I can imagine many have felt the same at times.

Could it be your particular job, might you be happier doing something else? You are young, assess all your options. I couldn't have carried on working if I was unhappy, I'd look for another job. However take your time, make sure (or as sure as you can be), that you go for something that suits you in all respects; travel and hours, etc.

Good luck.

I agree with this. I am over state pension age and don't need to work but I want to. I enjoy the work and like the people that I work with. However I have changed carers several times and with with one employer worked on a series of short term projects. This has meant that I have never got bored.

is it your present job or just the thought of working every day ad infinitum?

This is exactly me .
I really like my job and colleagues but i have had enough now , one regret in life not doing a proper pension when younger !!
I have so many things i'd rather be doing than work.

Me too. Lottery?

What i hate most about work is as much as i dont like my current job,
If i leave, the next one could be even worse.

I wish there was a way to know what a job is going to be like before you commit to it.

@SeaShellsSanctuary1's and @FranzXaverSuss 's responses are no more "stupid" than your original post. What responses did you expect? Did you expect sympathy? The overwhelming majority of people have to work to pay their bills and I doubt that they all like, let alone love, their jobs. If you're doing hard manual labour for NMW then I have some sympathy, but if you hate the work you're doing, find a different/better job. Your future is in your hands - what do you expect anyone else to do about it? Even if what you were hoping for with this thread was just sympathy - and even if you got that sympathy - how does it change your situation? Would you like or even love your job because others on here posted soothing platitudes?
Grasp the nettle and make a change OP - only you can do it.

Some people do. But humans are designed to be do-ers and need to do something even if it's not paid employment. And financial independence lets you retain a lot of choice and freedom.

Yes, because women never lift a finger outside their paid workplace and have been famously idle throughout recorded history...
