I Hate My Job! But It Pays Well… (Should I Stay?)

Please let the callers ask the questions before you assume you know what the questions are going to be. You are starting to cut people off and make assumptions and I don’t think your assumptions are necessarily accurate.

Its mind blowing to see the number of people going through this . I am working at a verbally abusive job, mentally draining. Everyday i wake up, I'm struck by fear of going to work, I'm always anxious and now resembling depression traits. I am damn good at my Job! That's the one thing they can't take away from me. With that said, My job has taken more from me than what it's giving. My confidence has depreciated, my mental well being is suffering, I'm losing myself. Sadly I can't quite, I need the salary. Im still trying to find a job elsewhere , I keep praying, I'm studying towards my degree currently, still no luck. I wish healing and unlimited opportunities to everyone going through something similar. We will get through this, somehow!

For some people who are judging the caller. There are people who are not articulate but are smart and way more skilled than most of us. He might also be an introvert. So to the people who are judging the caller, consider that too.

I quit my 175k a year job because I just couldn’t take it anymore. I loved the job and how fulfilling it was, but I absolutely hate working 70 hours a week.

I am currently planning on quitting my job because I hate waking up everyday knowing I have to face my supervisor and be afraid to perform badly, the only thing thats keeping me from doing that is the friends I have in my workplace. I love hanging out with them but I think its time to bounce and look for a place where I dont feel anxious every time I walk inside the office.

The way I see it, I hate all jobs because I honestly don't like working for someone else. So I have to do a job for money and make the best out of it until I save enough to either work for my self or invest for residual income or an early retirement.

The problem is when you're the only breadwinner in your family and you can't feasibly quit for an easier job

This is why I'm staying single and no kids. I also hate my job. I'm an electrician. But I have the freedom to change if I want. Regardless its not easy to change jobs

I left my job because I couldn't stand it anymore after 30 years .I m so much happier now

My boss has me by the balls. They pay me a ton of money but I'm disrespected and treated like crap. I'm hoping to save enough to buy a franchise.

Ken you deserve a badge of honor for the amount of patience you had answering this question but you have helped so many people. Moral of the Story: If your job sucks and you can't stand it another day, quit, and don't take a pay cut. If your new job is a pay cut, take a second job if you need to.

How do you take a job and not know how much you’re getting paid?

My goodness the show host can't let the caller speak, can he. Always interrupting.

My problem is I hate ALL jobs in general because they all take away my free time. So I'm not gonna quit my six figure job to have to waste more time and gas running around doing multiple jobs i also hate for less pay. I'll just keep hating just the one job while paying off debt and saving up to quit working altogether.

I am a government employee doing office job w minimal stress. I don’t particularly love my job but I love doing my side hustle which is reselling on line..I plan on investing more on it soon. I just love the whole process. Been doing it on and off for past 10 years and it gives me balance while securing my pension with my job.

this guy convinces people to quit there job i love it

We have bills to pay but everything has a limit. If you're miserable, try something else. Cut expenses, make plans. It may work, it may not, but you will overcome. People do it all the time.

Great advice👍🏾

Be sure you hate the work, and not just the people. I loved teaching; but, I worked in a very competitive environment. And, the employees were hostile. And, I had no support--because it was "every man-woman for him/her self." That made a good job a horrible place to work.

I loved my job...but didn't want to be around toxic people nor deal with office politics. Left and took a huge pay cut. Regretted it ever since. Pray I get a second chance! 🙏🙏🙏
