- You should be grateful you have a job! How many times has someone said that to you every time you vented that you hate your job?
While most people are indeed grateful to have a job, the reality is that many of them are not happy for more reasons than one. From low pay to toxic work environments to no growth prospects, workers experience it all. The fact is, many people's morale is low because they feel unsatisfied with the work they do.
A global study revealed that 45% of Americans hate their jobs so much that they wouldn't wish it on their worst enemy. Yikes.
This week, I share some personal stories of my past job experiences and highlight a few people on Tik Tok who explain in great detail why they hate their job and have either quit or are looking to get out.
Tune in now. Watch the entire video to the end. Take part in the Question of the Day. I want to hear from you.

P.S...Hopefully the audio in the interviews that I featured weren't distorted for you all, it sounded fine on my end when I uploaded it, and then I am hearing issues. So, hopefully that's not the case for you all. Let me know if it is.
People don't usually quit jobs, they quit management. I recently bailed after a wonderful 10 years....but the last 8 months became unbearable with a new supervisor. Absolute shit show. I thought it would be much harder to leave....but I feel relieved.
I absolutely agree. They either quit management or move for better pay/working conditions.
I just quit after 4yrs because of a similar environment, I now work for myself!
In my experience the reason people hate there jobs it probably because of micro managing .
Oh, that, too! Micromanagement and a toxic work culture definitely has a huge impact.
Exactly. Don't put me in a position to do a job that you won't let me do. And then the micro managing be bs. Like, who needed you for this? Just tryna remind you that they are the boss🙄
And they’re not fulfilling.
Also feeling invisible in the workplace
Why did you get into my head for real I didn't understand that until I got into it learned the hard way
This has always been the case, between being overworked, micro managed, half trained, underpaid. It makes absolute sense why most hate their jobs.
My problem with my job is the environment makes it so hard to actually do my job.
Politics, pettiness and pride get in the way too often
My colleagues love to Work From Home NOT because they hate commuting or they get more stuff done, etc. but because one or two days of NOT having to see your toxic/petty co-workers or supervisors does wonders for you psychologically. This is not joke. I would have "rage quit" my job a year ago if it wasn't for WFH policy! A toxic office will take a toll on your health and psychology for be careful.
They don't hate their job. They hate management. 😳
To all my Teens/ 20 YEAR OLDS: Take the time to really figure out what you like & CHASE UR DREAM bc it bcms harder to do once u have kids, spouse, house, responsibilities, ect. (not impossible... just harder to accomplish).
I hate my job because I am unable to see the fruits of my labor nor am I able to care for my patients correctly because of the red tape enacted by the government and insurance companies. It’s not that I’m not grateful to be working. I’m a nurse. And the healthcare sector is a willing participant in the deaths of people at this point. My job is out of alignment with my values at this point.
My husband was diagnosed with 3rd stage lung cancer. My supervisor asked me to ask for afternoon appointments,like after work. I was in tears! It's not like this was a case of an ingrown toe nail!
Oh my God!!! I got so upset reading your comment. Your supervisor is disgusting. They'd better repent and pray cancer doesn't land on their doorstep.
I had a cat for 21yrs. I got him when I was 15. He had been with me/beside me longer than my own family. He was struggling & dying on the bathroom floor & I had to leave him because "I had to go to work." When i came home, he was gone. He died alone. THAT is the biggest regret of my life. All that he'd BEEN to me...He should've never died alone. I still feel awful.
& that job was cack anyway.
😢 I am so sorry to hear that.
Wow 💔💔💔
I am a retired boomer who went BACK to work after being off for a year. (I actually got bored being off!) However, I work part-time and never on Sundays. This time, I'm doing what I want to do without being responsible for others. I love my fellow boomer co-workers who returned to work for the same reasons as me. Because we're great workers, we get USED, not utilized! That's why many good people hate their jobs. Many managers/supervisors need to learn HOW to stop using people and utilize their workers. When my crew and me quit, these people will be in a world of hurt!
There are so many people who look forward to retiring, but honestly, I would imagine that gets boring pretty quickly. I have been off from work due to surgeries, ailments, etc and ALWAYS want to return to work because it gets a bit boring. I love having more seasoned people in the workplace, older folks who can guide the rest of us or give us a different perspective. But, it's like you said...you get used, not utilized and that is MOST unfortunate and a waste of your skills/talent.
Spot on! That's why I quit my last job because they made me responsible for other departments' shortcomings because I was the good worker. I got so burnt out because this was 2020-21. On top of that the guests suck for many reasons. Don't work in hospitality.
I’m a grocery clerk. Mostly I love my job. I get to talk all day to all kinds of people. When I hate my job is when someone comes through my line treating me less than human, like I’m below them. There is a specific kind of person who won’t look at me, nor speak to me, nor even acknowledge my presence. And I can tell when they walk up to my stand, just by lack of eye contact, their attempt to demoralize me has begun. I just got home from work. Today was a great day ❤
I’ve been in line behind those kind of people and they disgust me. I don’t get it who do they think they are? 😅 Anyway, I’m glad today was a great day 😊
Baby girl, those types of people are THE MOST INSECURE people on the planet. Secure people do not feel the need to make someone feel beneath them. You are doing an honest living and it makes my heart smile to hear that you LOVE your job. That is true happiness. Those types of people are sad and bitter. I hate it when people act like others are beneath them. I'm the type of person who stands up for workers. Because I know most of you can't talk back (or at least aren't supposed to talk back to the customer) lol...I will speak up if I see a fellow customer treating them rudely. No, ma'am...not on my watch. Thanks for sharing your story and I am soooo happy you had a great day today!
Don’t forget the foreign person who works retail. Sometimes the people don’t make eye Contact because they have undiagnosed autism. I think it’s gonna be like one and 50 people have autism and going forward. It’s gonna go down to one and 25. I remember when I was a kid in high school it was one and 100 people supposedly had autism and before that it was one and 500.
@@ElinWinblad noooo, it’s not JUST the eye contact thing. That’s just the FIRST thing I notice.
@@ThisBahamianGyal 💕 thank you 💕
Currently a teacher. I actually love being a teacher but I can’t handle the mental, emotional, and physical abuse that I have to deal with from students, parents, administrators, politicians, and Joe Shmoes on the street who know nothing about education but feel entitled to an opinion. I’m Looking to transfer schools next year. I’ve also been taking classes and doing my own training on the side so that I can develop new skills to eventually leave teaching.
My colleagues love to Work From Home NOT because they hate commuting or they get more stuff done, etc. but because one or two days of NOT having to see your toxic/petty co-workers or supervisors does wonders for you psychologically. This is not joke. I would have "rage quit" my job a year ago if it wasn't for WFH policy! A toxic office will take a toll on your health and psychology so be careful. Go to the gym to relieve stress because a toxic office will give you a stroke or heart attack.
PREACH!!! WFH now and don’t plan to Ever work in an office again! Peace of mind is everything.
I had two jobs like this. one i would drive into the parking lot, sit and ask “do i really want to go in?” Thats when i knew i had to find something else. just like that I got a call from a previous client that offered me my job back, it was a $3 pay cut but worth it! Been a pca for 15 years and there are hard days, but every day I LOVE coming to my job
There is NOTHING in the world that compares to loving what you do and loving where you work. When you experience a bad job, the money means nothing. You may have lost $3 an hour, but trust me...you gained soooo much more. Thanks for watching!
That's because these companies make it hard to actually do your job. It's the ridiculous office politics and ass kissing you have to do... people have it hard enough!!!
Yes!!
I think work can become overwhelming when it's the primary thing that we do during the week. I feel more satisfaction when I do my hobbies, workout and socialize throughout the week to keep me from living for the weekend 😊
That means that you have a job that affords you the opportunity to socialize etc. when you are miserable, working long hours, still stressing to pay bills and your health is affected…those other things are not an option. My company offers mental health, yoga, gym benefits, employee social groups but the employees are sick, miserable and living in fear.
Yeah I applied for a job I love to do and realized that is was not the job I hated, it was the micro managing and messy jealous competitive coworkers.
I had a job where I wasn’t happy. Tried working an extra few years, ended up walking out. Now, I’m happy where I’m at. It’s not perfect, but a hell of a lot better than where I was.
Hey my Bahamian Sis 🇧🇸🇺🇲!! Sometimes you have to take what you can get as a stepping stone to get what you want. I'm in a situation like this right now. I went from no job to a job. The bills still gotta get paid.
Absolutely. I agree with you. Sometimes, you have to take that job. So, take it. But, don't get comfortable if it's a toxic environment. Take it to pay those bills and plan your exit strategy. LOL. Thanks for watching, babes! #242totheworld
@@ThisBahamianGyal lol Amen!! I be looking on job websites while on break!!
I know some people who complain about their jobs and they do the LEAST work, get the LEAST correction, have the MOST privilege, come in late, leave early, stand around talking, gossiping, going sloooooow, screwing up regularly while other people fix their mistakes, always need help for the simplest things, do poor work, strategize to do mostly the easy work leaving the harder work for other people, etc. They are the REAL ingrates who face no racism, no sexism, no microaggressions, and have super easy days at work!
As if this comment right here doesn't come from a place of privilege and boot licking? How does that rubber taste?
Not true
If not for poor management, I could love retail. I love making the store clean the way I’d want to shop it. I have a lot of energy while stocking shelves and it’s fun to get creative to fix planogram issues only to make it look better than what corporate wanted. Kind customers always restore my faith in humanity and kind leads make me want to work even harder. If it weren’t for the bad customers/leads I’d really have no issue. But they’re the minority. The team leads right above us understand who can be left alone and who actually needs to be managed + to what extent. But the ones who spend most of their time in the office gossiping (or in a corner where quiet-ol-me can hear them), suddenly decide to micromanage us without knowing the game plan then get mad when nothing gets done as a result of their bad managing. I almost snapped at a temporary ETL for saying something condescending to my fav TL (that wasn’t even her fault) so publicly. Can’t wait for him to leave. The thing that stops me from rage quitting is thinking, “Oh well, I’ll do my best and clock out, the rest is their problem.” 😂
I don't love or hate my job - its something that gives me stability in a few different ways and for that I'm grateful. I've also been fairly lucky in that I've always seemed to have decent bosses and coworkers. Maybe I'm just good at finding decent workplaces 🤷♀️
Late to this video but thank you for not diminishing a pets death. They are our family. We raise them, make time for their appointments, get them special food when their diet changes, do physical therapy if they need it, and have loved them for YEARS. The loss of a pet hurts. My little family lost our beautiful calico cat last year and i still tear up thinking about her months later. My dog is turning 14 and ive had him all 14 years. He is my heart dog and the day i lose him i will lose a piece of myself. Thank you for acknowledging how much they mean ❤
Absolutely! You are welcome and you're my kind of people. I ADORE pets. Have had them all my life. They are absolutely family and it hurts when we lose them.
This came right on time!!! When I initially interview with the job I'm currently at they were like we can't find anybody and I ignored it! Now, ppl are leaving and retiring, we've had 4 ppl leave in 2 months. The micro-managing on the job has gotten ridiculous. It creates no space for trust but only creates fear and stress. Now I see why they couldn't find anyone!
I've thought long and hard and its just not a good fit for me. I have a few job offers I'm looking into.....
Yes...the red flags are always there. I am happy you discovered that it's not a good fit. I hope you find an amazing company that makes you happy!
I’m currently employed but looking bc I too hate my job & I’ve noticed the same companies hiring again every couple of months which means high turnover & some have reviews to confirm it like on Glassdoor. Don’t ignore it next time & I’ll be sure to follow my own advice too!
Some managers and owners suck, like the job would be otherwise pretty alright, except that there's this condescending person constantly looking over your shoulder and making comments.
These are facts.
I'm so blessed. I work at one of those companies that people don't leave. I've been there nearly 20 years, my boss has been there 30 years. And this isn't uncommon.
My SO wanted to move to AZ and I refused because I have the best job. It'd not perfect, but it's damn close.
Speaking of pets, my boss has given me bereavement days for the loss of a pet.
I wish more companies were like this because it takes away a bulk of our daily stress.
Hi there! Thanks for watching. I don't blame you for not wanting to move or leave your company. When you've got a good thing, you stick with it. You sound like you have an excellent, CARING boss. So happy for you!
In real life you do what you gotta do.
No job situation will ever be perfect, and you have bills to pay. 😳
Much needed conversation. Good Lord I know the feeling all too well about hating my job. Many days your in the car fretting about going in 😔
I actually like my job. Its the co-workers I can take or leave, mostly leave.
Maybe it’s because I like to work, but Amazon, my previous job at a winery, and being a Zamboni operator were my favorite jobs. I’m actually going back to Amazon since I got “let go” from the winery. I have never worked in an office, and I don’t work retail anymore because I hate the public/customers.
Congrats on going back to Amazon. At least you know what you don't like to do. Haha. Thanks for watching!
@@ThisBahamianGyal You’re welcome. And I don’t want to work for Amazon. I don’t want to work for anyone. After being injured (why I got let go at the winery) I had another realization that I have to get the ball rolling with what I want to do (make music). I cried driving to work because I feel stuck. But, I need a job in order to start it. 😅
I worked at my past job from 2011 to 2020 and did not have ONE good year while there. Don’t get me wrong, I worked my @$$ off and did what needed to be done but I couldn’t stand it 😂. It was more so the work environment and people…extremely rude and bad attitudes especially after getting promoted to a different position. Benefits and increased pay was what kept me there, but in the end, it ran into a dead end seeing it dealt with newspapers which is a dying media. Stayed until they laid off our entire department…if I knew then what I know now.
My friends openly tell me that they love to Work From Home NOT because they hate commuting or they get more stuff done, etc. but because one or two days of NOT having to see your toxic/petty co-workers or supervisors does wonders for you psychologically. This is not joke. I would have "rage quit" my job a year ago if it wasn't for WFH policy! A toxic office will take a toll on your health and psychology so be careful. Go to the gym to relieve stress because a toxic office will give you a stroke or heart attack.
Early coping mechanism was to stay connected with family and friends outside of work. Turning 30 a way I try to cope is being physically active, maintaining/recovering health in a gym, then transitioning to adult team sports. Making new friends through social hobbies you enjoy already.
In 2008 I quit my finance job to pursue my side hustle full-time. At that time I was so excited to leave because I absolutely hated my job.
In these past six years I've had my fair share of ups and downs financially. During those down times I always wondered if I left my job too soon. Sometimes I even envied those who had a consistent income.
Despite all of that the benefit of being in control of my own financial destiny keeps me going.
Whether you move to another job where you find it to be more rewarding or you launch a business on your own- you have to do what's right for you no matter what anyone says. I attempted to get another 9 to 5:00 job and I quit within a week and a half. It's just not right for me. Best decision I made in 2024
Ooohhh...I loved everything you said in this comment. Thanks for sharing!
Management makes a big impact on a job. I worked for our local Parks and Rec department for years. My manager had strict rules but always gave us everything we needed to get the job done, she was organized, direct and very helpful. She became CEO of another business, and her replacement was a guy who just didn't care. He was an older man who stayed in his office all the time and kept hiring Management that stole from all the registers and I wasn't a manager or a supervisor because I worked for multiple parts of the parks department and didn't have the time, but I was put in charge of training and pretty much running things while the managers made a lot more money than me to steal from the registers and clock in and go back home. As a gen x rebellious human this was the first time I'd ever preferred the strict boss.
She's a very insightful, inspirational, intelligent woman!!! 💯
I was blessed with a mom and dad who straight up told me that they do not care what I do for employment as long as I could survive with it one way or another. I'm 32 now and completely understand how lucky I am to have that. I always had a knack for fixing computers in both hardware and software growing up. I was happy that I grew up in the timeframe when it was all becoming commonplace and mainstream. So for me, tinkering with that stuff was just fun and more like a hobby. Fast forward through my school years and I took as many computer related classes as I could. They had XP's at that time and worked on them probably the most even though I went through 95, 98, and even the odd variants of OS's and some DOS in the beginning. I think was at the VERY tail end of DOS. I honestly learned more on it as an adult than growing up but oh well. So naturally I went to college for IT. Took the classes, took some certifications, even tried a basic tech support job.
Long story short. I just didn't like it in a employment sense. I guess I just enjoyed it more as a hobby. So again my parents were great and said that's fine just try to find something. So after that I got a job just at a grocery store. I learned two giant things at that job.
1. I was great at customer service.
2. I loved working with money.
I was TERRIBLE at math my entire school career, but I was fantastic at math when it came to anything financial. I should also say that I probably would not be a good accountant though. I always say I'm good with money in a realistic sense, like day to day money handling. So I worked there for a while, got promoted twice, and ended up with a position with good pay and very good health insurance. Did that for about 2 years and they changed the system I used for that position and it became a total nightmare. I hated it. So after an extended period of time I just flat out told them I don't like my position anymore and I'm quitting. Left on good terms and never really had any issues outside the realm of standard when dealing with higher ups in a corporation.
Worked another grocery store for about 3 years. COVID happened and things just didn't end up working out.
Didn't work for about a year because of my health, was hospitalized 6 times in one year, lost my home, my partner, and totaled my car. Just one of those tough times you have to go through. Which I was warned about by my parents growing up. Trouble comes in 3's I think is what my grandma told me once but anyway...
So I got better and decided to get a part time job to start back out. I live in a small town and we have a gas station and a Dollar General. Applied, got the job, and was told that I was probably only going to get one or two days week. That was perfectly fine as I was trying to ease my way back in.
Two years later
1. I'm still working there.
2. I've been promoted twice and received two raises. (I don't believe I'm truly getting paid what I'm worth but that kinda fails into what you said about they money isn't always everything.)
3. My boss is amazing and so supportive of me in every aspect of my life.
4. I get about 30-35 hours a week.
5. I like every person I work with
and for me the biggest thing, I like my job. That's really the crux of it for me.
So I'm doing me, got a car again, getting my debt down significantly, and have a wonderful relationship with my boss and my parents.
Sometimes what you're good at isn't always what you end up doing employment wise, and that's fine.
If you find a job and you can say you enjoy it, for the love of god hold on to it. It's like finding the Holy Grail.
I'm getting my teaching credential and working with 3rd graders. I love kids but my god sometimes i drive home sobbing because no matter what i do they're so badly behaved that i have to go army sargeant on them. If i had it my way, i'd be an archaeologist, historical costumer or opera singer, not wasting my operatic lungs screaming for kids to stay in their seat for 5 minutes.
I love my job! I'm to move up in position within a year or two.
But....
This was not what Im trained to do. Not what I spent time, money to do. The stress of exams. Sleepless nights studying and writing papers. Since the passing of the Covid vaxx mandate, I've been working outside of the healthcare field. Now the state is more laxed about the vaxx. And I do have a fake covid vaxx card which I may use....
But this job I have... The money is good, the job is fun, my co-workers are cool or I don't have to talk to them. Hell, I don't have to look at them if I don't want to. I feel like: ok get back in the clinic/hospital...but I don't want to leave this job.
I worked at a job where they KNEW there was some kind of virus going around amongst the staff as instead of telling us, they waited until we got sick and when we would call in they said if it’s not c0vld then just put on a face mask. 😮 I came in that day, but eventually I just quit. I couldn’t take that they wouldn’t even let their workers nurse themselves to health!
Serendipitously...today....THIS is what I needed to hear. Ty. ❤
You are welcome!
Hey Rogan!
Thank you for delivering peak YT content today with your impersonation of the NY accent 😂😂😂😂. All jokes aside, I think she was from NY. Great content as always, this topic isn't talked about enough.
Haha...I was wondering if that was a NY accent. I soooo love it. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words. You always come through with so much love and light. Thank you for that!
I love my job because of who I work with. However, there are some down falls just like anything but, you are right happiness over money when possible. I have 100% had jobs that sucked!
My previous job I hated not because of the tasks or anything but because physically the amount of hours is standing you weren’t allowed to take a lunch and you couldn’t sit for anywhere from 10 to 18 hours and it got so bad that I had trouble walking, so I found a job where I sit And pays more and I work less hours.
Standing for long hours will do a number on your legs. I'm so happy for you that you got another job. You deserve it! Thanks for watching.
I have four words, but it's usually "MAN Fxxk THIS JOB" 😅
❤ your channel
I have been in a couple of positions I absolutely hated. The jobs were uninspiring and didn't fulfill some notion of happiness at work, but they paid well and the time off was fantastic. The reason I hated them had nothing to do with being unfulfilling...it was my coworkers. Coworkers that were narcissistic, control obsessed, drama filled, some of whom reveled in misery, etc., and the supervisor who turned a blind eye. I can bring my passion to just about any job, but I can't deal with a corrosive toxic environment.
I’m just working hard on doing my own thing because this 8-5 and pay aint for me!
straight common sense. cheers.
Thanks so much, dear! ❤️
I had a job that was so toxic that the stress levels I was dealing with made me start losing my hair and every morning, when I got there, I would throw up. I finally took a leap of faith, quit that job and did food delivery until I got an awesome job that I'll work at until I retire (which is only 6 years from now)
I am an event producer and that's what brings me joy!
Excellent! That's a fun job.
I like the points made in the video but i wanted to also add some counter arguments to whats presented, as well as my final thoughts.
I think some people are in a job they like, but the pay is not enough to make it sustainable. For example, some people are built for the customer service industry, and they love helping and they do it with a genuine smile. But most of the jobs in that field do not pay well. With rising rates of inflation, its difficult to save up for a car or house with that level of pay.
Another thing to consider is standard of living. Some people in high paying positions create an expensive standard of living. Its hard to walk away from that knowing you may have to change how you live, especially if you're already locked into an expensive car or mortgage / rent payment.
I think you addressed this though when you talked about diversifying your skillset and taking the time to learn something new. One must take the time out from somewhere, even if its just 15 mins a day, and make it work.
Overall great video though. Im a new subscriber and love your stuff! 😊
Great video. We have find a job that makes us happy 🎉🎉
My career being a mail carrier wouldn't be so bad if the people I deliver to show some empathy, compassion and understanding that I'm doing a hard physical job every day.
Also if all of management and the supervisors do their part and are transparent everything works smoothly.
What I like about my job?
1.) It's an easy job (mentally) to do. Just walk and deliver.
2.) Some customers are cool.
3.) I can make a great living doing this with a full benefits and retirement package.
(I'm on track to retire by 58. That's really my own reason to work is that I want to retire early. Don't care about family, kids or relationships. Nope.)
4.) If the mail is light that's also good. Less stress on my body.
5.) Serving my community.
What I hate about my job?
1.) Karens
(Entitled people in general piss me off. There's a special place in hell for these people.)
2.) People who can't control their dogs.
(I don't care if you think your dog is friendly and won't bite me. Standards are standards. If it's unsafe I'm not delivering to you. Period.)
3.) I have no control over what comes in the mail or what packages are given to me.
(Whatever the sorting machine spits out is what I deliver. Like it or not.)
4.) Co-workers who don't play their role.
(Just do your job so we can all go home at a reasonable time. Please.)
5.) If management and supervisors would communicate better on the tasks I need to do.

2hr interview???? Daaaammnn lol
Oh . I know I hate my job. 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I loved my job. I hated the culture. I was being criminalized everyday. There was an unnatural obsession with me.
Having a job that pays more is good yk it helps put food on the table or gives expiriance in it but it's also good to have a job you love doing I don't think money should always be top priority because if you hate your job you will have the negative side effects that come with it like low performance or low mental state ( like depression and stuff) now I always say to my friends if you are not happy there then look for something else because it can be hard to find a new job sometimes and it's best to keep the cash that yk is coming in then say I'll quit and hope I have enough to pay the bills
When i was 19 i started a caregiving job and i stayed there for two and a half years, and i was miserable for a year and a half. I missed my period for 3 months because of stress. My manager was tempermental and i was always on edge, never knowing which person i wpuld get. Nice manager, or on a rampage manager. And that wasnt even taking into account of the individuals i was a caregiver for.
After that job i promised myself I'd stay at a job until every single day i dreaded work.
The next caregiving job i left after 9 months, and the one after that i loved who i was working for, i worked with her for 15 months until i went on maternity leave. Then she passed away and i decided ro stay on maternity leave long term 😂
Wowwwww..this is insane!!! So stressed that you were missing your period. That is major stress. I am so sorry you went through that. Dealing with those types of bosses is a nightmare. One day, they are coop, the next they are monsters. So sad.
When I closed for mcdammit if I called out I was problematic, or oh here he goes again. Even when I had COVID or a actual infection I closed by myself when we hired another person I immediately transferred to mornings and shot down any request or plea to keep me on night shift
From South Africa, unemployment is so high we just take what we can get.
Loves this video it speaks to me I can relate to this ,my first job was a sales lady didn't like it but I need to work low paying job but no advancement however I move on to a better job great benefits love the environment, and was ways for advancement, but I love the work place and I had opportunity to go to school but my boss was very good to me with times but no promotion but you know I end up staying on that job until retirement, you must love the job to make you feel good every morning to get up I really enjoyed that job
That is the best freling in the world when you love what you do and have a great boss. It makes work so pleasurable.
🎉😂 you have to find your passion it’s not work, it’s what you enjoy
I think we should try working for smaller companies. Maybe even family owned. I think big corporations (in my experience working at CVS, Walmart, etc) will drain you. There isn't a sense of community or team work and those things are important.
In my country an employee can take paid carer's leave to care for or support a member of their immediate family or household who is sick, injured or has an unexpected emergency. We also get 10 days paid sick leave per year.
American is the only country that doesn't have mandated vacations and holidays We have eleven public holidays off with pay per year . and 4 weeks annual leave, but if you work shift work you normal get six weeks annual leave. Plus long service leave after 10 years of continuous employment with the one company (depending on which state you live in) you get 9 weeks to 13 weeks
Thank you for this vid 🙏🏽
You are so welcome. Thank YOU for watching!
Personnally i try making myself happy through my days and then i give myself some timing then out the door😂😂
The 3rd girl, the hard part about jobs is that supervisors and managers hear a lot of lies just to get out of work.
This is true, too. We have some really crappy employees out there. But, managers have to be careful to not ascribe certain behaviours to all of the employees. Because they could be making a mistake. I find that some managers get lies because the don't accept the truth. My old employee told me her dog died, which was true. Now, had she said this to another manager, they would have said, "and???" So, that employee might have had to say a family member is dying in order to get some sympathy.
I applied for a job just to improve my skills, and it helped me
Any time in life that I've had a good teacher that cared about us and a good boss, it made me feel like I wanted to strive for something more. Now they aren't responsible for my actions or lack there of but I did go above and beyond for my bosses that were wonderful ❤
I actually love my job, but with that being said: I have had jobs through out my life and as an older woman, I am just finally happy to find my "home" away from home. I did go to school for my trade when I was younger, so I'm good. Plus I work from home and can watch these TH-cam videos as I work😘 So I cannot complain. I make good money, awesome benefits, understanding boss. But my last job, I was there 15 years and was always wanting to leave. I just had to do it after 15 years. I think we get comfortable and also I am a single mom, so I was always afraid to start over. But I just "took a leap" and now I'm in such a better place😙
Thank you so much for watching and enjoyed reading your comment. I am so happy you are in a better place!!!
@@ThisBahamianGyal 🤗 I "stumbled" upon your channel this morning and fell in love with you and your content 🥰 Your views and thoughts, are exactly like mine. I am now binge watching to catch up 😁 You have a new subscriber for life! I feel like finally, someone who gets it. It's not just one race or another. Male or female. There is delusion, debauchery, and craziness all over. In every race, sex, creed, and religion. Good and bad!! As a single mom, I am just trying to keep my teenage son aware of these "modern" females and of course be the best man he can be when the world around us is falling apart😟
My uncle is making his children become doctors because he never got to become a doctor.
When his son was born he told me that and I even tried to say what if your son doesn't want to be a doctor let him choose.
He told me no and when I asked what if he doesn't become a doctor he said he's cutting off his son. At then time his son was a baby. 😮 he's a teenager now.
He's doing the same thing with his daughter.
My uncle raised his kids to value money more than anything else too and if you want things you have need money. But to me it's making them more spoiled and ungrateful for every thing they get from food to toys/technology. 😡
That sounds absolutely brutal. How does he feel comfortable forcing his kids to do what HE wants. I wouldn't accept his money.
I have been in my career foro ver 30 years. I loved it in the beginning, but I'm starting to feel burned out. I'm also grateful for the opportunity I've had.
I’m an employer and take the welfare of my team seriously. I’ve made effort to make sure they have everything they need. Still, some people excel and find the job easy while others seem to have a lot of their own stresses that makes the same job more frustrating for them and there’s nothing I can do.
I had an employee who must have lied about his experience and was terrible, I found myself taking the position of teacher, took him back to basics, helped him make tools to help him organise and build his memory and now he’s one of the best in his sector and enjoys his work.
I think we have an obligation to help people succeed at what they do but it also has its limitations.
I went to school for teaching. I’m in my second year teaching. I taught 1st grade last year, and didn’t like it. I am teaching middle school this year, and I’m mentally struggling. I’m tired of how I am treated by the students and parents. I’m tired of having so much work to do at home, because there is just not enough time during the school day. And I’m tired of not having enough time and mental capacity to do things like read and write. I love those things, but I just can’t. They say to do self care, but even when I do that, I feel bad because I’m slacking off on grading or whatever. But with the grading, I’m not getting to it because of god knows what else I have to do otherwise at school and what not. I’m glad I don’t have kids, because I honestly would be losing my mind and neglecting them for this job. But I might want kids but I don’t see me teaching and having kids at the same time. I don’t know how other teachers do it.
Sorry for the rant, but I think I’m going to quite at the end of the school year and go into something else. I don’t know what yet, but anything for a little while to find what I really want to do would be better than wasting away here. It just also sucks that I went to school and paid money for this and now I feel like I’m jumping ship and like I’m a loser. It’s just hard.
Me too. I'm getting my credentials and work with 3rd graders at a low income school in the hood and there are days, like last Friday, where I drive home SOBBING because I'm so goddamn tired of their shit. And then today to find out the day teacher doesn't want us using her smart board anymore because the same goddamn kids kept writing on it with pencil no matter how many times I told them not to!
@@talosheeg yes! And if you do try to punish students in any way, it’s either not a real punishment for them, or their parents come at you like your the problem. It’s so mentally draining. And they wonder why there is a teacher shortage.
i hate my job, but i realize that i would hate any job so im just grateful :) i also have a specialized career as an art director, and i still hate it!
Most people don't do things that they love to do because they're not realistic So you're forced into doing stuff you don't like only to survive That's a sad existence
I loved my job I'm RETIRED now.I was a CAPTAIN for a oilfield company making 6$$ and RETIRED VET. AND NEVER MISS a day or late.
I remember having a conversation with my elderly neighbor I remember her telling me how she stopped shopping at food lion cuz she was disgusted with some of the workers talk about how they couldn’t wait to leave for the night and that they should be greatful to have a job and I all can think in my head is how stupid she sounded for saying that to me thinking I would agree cuz
1.Nowadays being “thankful” to have a job is far from being enough to motivate someone to work, our necessities are unnecessarily expensive, work hours are long as hell and some jobs pay are shit and they’re away from friends and family
2. I don’t see what’s wrong with looking forward to leaving work for the day or getting annoyed that you have to work cuz at the end of the day nobody gets up in the morning hyped to go to work like they’re SpongeBob.Regardless if we have a good paying job and benefits and work with good people everyone has somewhere else they would much rather be at if they didn’t have to worry about work and bills
That last clip was hilarious
i wish have a job. in sweden its hard to have job if you have some diagnosis it makes me angry.
The only job I had to quit from was when I was a nanny for a single mom who would scream and yell like crazy at her kids. I tried so hard to make things better… I only lasted two months
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!! I'm an Accountant!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭(True passion: Art and Music!!!!)
The people hate their jobs because the low pay, coworkers, less meaningful salary and it is gasp😮 a JOB!
To answer your question the most common thing people expressed to me is they will no longer work for a company that is involved with DEI.
Wowwww...really?? That is very interesting. I suppose it makes sense.

DEI training how to be less "White".
YouTub: Coca-Cola WHISTLEBLOWER Reveals Training on How to be
I've personally been through similar DEI training which I have walked out of and resigned.
This would be an interesting topic for you to speak on, if you're interested.
A lot of people quit/hate their jobs because of a laundry list of issues.
Management let problems build up over the years to line their pockets.
That leads to shTTy work environments for the slaves!
ShTTy work environments cause stress, depression, lack of sleep, overeating etc....
ShTTy pay for dealing with daily ShTTy work environments, make home life worse.
Now, I can't pay bills and do activities I once loved.
Why would I stay there?
The gentleman at 23:00 needs to do voice over work. He has a great voice!
That is a very good suggestion, and maybe it would change his life for the better.
I'm 16 and sometimes I do ten hour shifts, I normally go to work everyday and I do like my job but some parts of it I hate, but like at the end of the month when I get a fat amount of money put in my bank account it's all just so worth it. But the other people my age like at school cba to do any work and idk anyone else my age who has a job or wants one, I think a big problem is like that a lot of young people cba to do things and give up really easy cuz they have the freedom and privelage to do so and they don't have worries in their mind of like oh what if I go homeless cuz they got their phones and tiktok to hide behind and take their mind off of it and they can see videos of other young people with the same lazy attitudes as them so they just think oh its okay cuz other people are like me.
The problem I would gladly leave but I have a bank loan so I can't just quit - pray for me, it started to trigger my ibs and metal health.
I totally understand where you're coming from. Childddd, just keep paying off that loan so that they don't have control over you for too long.
Don’t hang around coworkers that are negative and constantly complaining. They make everyday a struggle, and you start to be just like them.
I 100% agree with you. Avoid at ALL COSTS. Thanks for watching!
When you are trying to escape an abusive home in a dead end town, you don’t get to be that selective. In a perfect world everyone would have a support system and not have to choose the least detrimental thing to their mental health before their dreams/ ambitions. Yes, you can move, but you need money and resources to do so. You almost have to have a job lined up and a place to stay before you go because without connections or room mates how are you going to make rent/afford housing? And you need food.
I did it anyway. With the last pennies I had. If I had not met my partner, I’d probably be dead. That’s bleak, but true.
And honestly, for me, the jobs weren’t the problem. I can be fulfilled anywhere as long as I have my health and never have to face the prospect of living at home again. It was the micro managing, out of touch, borderline sociopathic bosses I’ve had to deal with. Also, no one wants to actually train anybody. They pay lip service to it. Of course they do. But a lot of these places just want you to fall out of college graduation knowing everything. Just take a look at the requirements for ‘entry-level jobs.’ I’m am not saying this to have a pity party, but few things have traumatized me like dealing with the American workforce has. It’s so demoralizing. You couldn’t pay me to go through that again.
Facts
please explain this if you can. "I'm a dog mom, my family has paws, my family has fur, If my dogs don't like you, I won't either." Animals give me Unconditional love. I noticed that money is first and no human family is even mentioned.
I dont hate my job.... I'm a clinical research coordinator in the cardiothoracic sugery department for the main hospital in my city. However, i wish i was paid more. I have a bachelors degree in biological sciences, i had 3 years in coordination before starting this job, I'm now 1 year into it, and im the only CRC in that department. I make 50k a year. It's nothing to scoff at, but i had to take on another part time job just to make ends meet. The other problem is if there is a research study that requires me to work after hours, then that's what i have to do, but i dont get paid for thos extra hours, it's just part of my salary...but then i pose out on getting paid at my part time job. Then they gave me a raise this year of $0.39. i almsot laughed in their face.
I dont want to leave so soon, but i need more money to stay afloat, so i may need to find a different full time job.
What im confused about is how we have so many empty positions still. Where did all these people go? I know covid is why people left and stayed home but I thought everyone would have gone back to work by now but it seems that's not the case and it confuses me! I need to know how they're paying their bills.
I choose to be an account by myself lol but I did it mainly for the money and easy work. I don't hate my work itself but right now I'm unhappy with the company itself, my not enough workload (I'm mainly bored at work and underworked) and my colleagues.
I'm planning to leave at the end of this year.
Anyways choosing a career out of passion was not an option for me personally. I wanted to earn good money and so I was willing for a Job that I don't love.
The dude at the 20min mark should become a voice actor.
I work at a call center. Life insurance to be exact. I work from home because it gives me time for my side hustle which is stock trading. I hate the job ☹️ so stressful people are so rude. But I know God has bigger for me. I’m also back in school maybe a degree will give me bigger verity in jobs
I hope you get where you want to be and where God has you to be. I hope stock trading works out for you. I was shopping alongside a young, black girl a year ago and she was picking up a LOT of items. I said, "girl...you're doing damage in this store." We both laughed and she told me that she works as a trader and had a really good week. She said she had made something like $15k in a week. I was like, how do I get in on that. LOLOL.
@@ThisBahamianGyal ahhh I can’t wait for that to be me! And it’s hard it’s been 4 years into this and I’m just now finding what works for me.
The problem is, capitalism doesn't LET you pick your dream job. My dream job doesn't even exist anymore, it's being a clown! An ADULT party clown, not for kids! Capitalism makes everything so unfair and if your parents didn't have enough to put you in college, or you pick the wrong college, you are absolutely screwed and have to get SOMETHING, ANYTHING just so you can keep living in a home and have food to eat. Capitalism doesn't breed innovation, it breeds misery.
I dont hate my job I HATE the people attitude and backstabbing personalities that work in my job, is the people who made the job bad for those who just want to work with no DRAMA.
My job is very difficult. Sometimes I love it, but I hate some aspects of it. The unfortunate thing is the job market is very competitive and we have to pay our bills somehow. We dont always have the choice to love our job, because depending on our needs, location, credentials we have to take what we can get. I'd love to go back to school, but school is expensive. I also want to try YT and Tiktok just to see if I can make something of it. Currently I am a phone seggs operator, which I use a lot of skills I learned in my initial schooling for neuroscience so I can love those aspects. But some of the guys are just disgusting. Depraved. But then I think if they are having "fun" on calls with me, they arent doing that other stuff at that moment. Maybe I can fill that void for some time. But it is HARD when it comes to being iron willed. Most women dont last and I can't blame them, especially if they have children.
Hello. You are absolutely correct in everything you said. Sometimes you have to take what you can get. Bills have to be paid. I would strongly encourage you to get on TH-cam and Tik Tok. By the way, I would love to interview you if you are interested. Your profession is quite interesting. Thank you for your honesty. If you are interested, please send me a message on Instagram. If you don't want to, I understand. But, think about it.
