I hate working

[Greens0172]

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

Same here. I am 52 and gave up work Nov last year due to health issues and caring for my elderly mum. I am so bored. I wish I could WFH, at least that would keep the brain cells ticking along.

Same here, a couple of jobs that I've had have been to implement a new system, get it up and running, processes written, then hand it over to the team and move on. It's very satisfying and keeps your skills up to date, you can't get bored or jaded.

That being said, after a couple of intense jobs like that and I was ready to settle down for a bit with a more steady job which I have made my own. Don't know what I'll be doing for the last part of my working life yet, but I think I've got plenty of scope to try something new again.

Me too!

I’m in early years. Long long hours for next to nothing pay wise. Toxic workplace with micromanagement and bitching galore.

I keep meaning to leave but can’t find hours anywhere else to suit my single parent responsibilities.

I dont hate my workplace.

I hate my critical, negative managers.

I just try to remind myself that i am not stuck in any workplace forever. And in a year from now i wont have to see any of these people again.

I'm 43 and already desperate to retire

I have to work. There’s no getting away from that but I can choose to enjoy the job I’ve got, or go get another job. I know so many people who hate their jobs, but I couldn’t live like that for 40+ years. My current job , others might hate, but I make the most of it. I do the mundane bits and then spend the majority of my time on people related tasks. I love it. It’s a level of acceptance, to an extent and I’ve been able to find the joy in it.

Change jobs, do something that you won’t hate

Last time OP was clear she didn't want any advice, just wanted to whine, so please don't waste your time offering suggestions.

I don't mind working as such but I really hate working in the department I'm in as it's so badly run and the manager is vain, arrogant and incompetent. The overall organisation needs an oversized audit rocket up its backside. And yes I'm trying to get something else but the job market, our location and my age are not helping.

This.

You don't have to work. There are other options. But your life will have to reflect that. You might have to move to a commune. That's a serious suggestion.

Thought I'd seen it before.

But why do you think that people want advice. They don't.

A lot of people come on here just to complain about their lives. That is okay too.

Screw work, be an entrepreneur you’ll never ‘work’ another day

Oh, but does it matter that the OP has posted the same complaint before?

It's an important topic and many people feel the same - rather like women who feel overwhelmed/resentful/pissed off with meal planning, laundry, lunch boxes, commute, etc.

Sometimes you just have to let rip, more than once!

I thought I hated work until I got made redundant and had planned a whole year off work. The novelty wore off after about three weeks. Blessed relief to go back to work.

I am 50, I am just grateful if I get to keep my job for another 10 years so that I can pay my bills and save for retirement!

I like my job most days when it's not stressful.

I hate doing my job but at the same time i feel lucky to have my job.

Ive met a lot of people lately who are struggling to find any job

Could you get another job OP?

I had a pretty “satisfying” career pre kids. Used my degree, had progression, when I gave it up to stay at home and tutor part time my mum was furious. Truth is, I hate working, and I REALLY hate working for other people. Not bad now I’m self employed and can work from my house, teaching the kids I want to teach. If you can, I’d look into being self employed. It’s more stressful in a lot of ways, but the thing that irked me about every job I’ve had before is other people/management.

If you can identify what you hate that will help. Is it management? Is it the day to day tasks? Is it your field of work? You will probably always hate working, but identifying what is the worst bit and focusing on changing that will make it more bearable.

My sister married for money, doesn’t work, but she’s married to an absolute pig. Only saving grace is he’s much older, so hopefully he drops first. Seeing her marriage when I was a teenager scared me into working hard and put me off the marrying for money thing.

I can't imagine working because I can't think of anything more interesting to do.

I never really agreed with this. I quit the job I didn't like and am now working for myself, doing work I enjoy. It's still work. I still have to put in the hours, deal with clients, etc. I still have to make enough to meet bills and expenses - every month.

The second I can afford to I’m reducing my hours.

The thing to do is find something you can bear, whether it's paid well or not, and try to live on that.

Could you get married to someone well of

This.

Not working is considerably worse than working ime, btw.
