This is really just to get this off of my chest as it's really bothering me..
I've been at my job for a year now, a customer care role in an office the same as I have always done in other roles. I have recently started to really dislike the role. It bores me, I have no passion for the role, no motivation there whatsoever. It's really based around KPI's and hitting targets and is my first corporate company. For a while now I have been wanting to become a PT, a whole career change and something that interests me. This is my idea of a perfect job and I will be pursuing it very soon.
The only issue is, because I have no interest in my current role and no motivation to do it, I am not doing my best. I keep getting pulled aside and today was told it seems like a I have no drive. That's because I don't. I am past the point of caring. Now it looks like I am incompetent and bad at my job and this makes me feel like a failure, but the truth is it brings me no joy. I dread going into work. My team are lovely and we get along so well but the role itself is just not for me. When I was told today it seems I have no drive I really wanted to say 'it's because I don't' but of course I couldn't say this.. so I'm just sticking it out until I can pursue my dream career!
Has anyone else been in a similar position? Realised that the work you have been doing your whole life was never for you and one day it hit you that you need to pursue your dream job? I have never excelled in my roles and I'm starting to realise this may be why!
