I hate my job. I get no respect for anything that I do. I am always stressed out. What should I do?

Since you HAVE a job, that's a good thing.  In order to remove the stress take steps to put yourself into a position that will get you out of there.  \n\nUpdate your resume.\n\nPost your resume on job sites\n\nRespond to some online job ads\n\nIn otherwords, take steps to get yourself a new job.  I guarantee that you'll feel better -- even if you dont land something right away.

Sounds like a retail or restaurant job. Used to happen to me. The best thing to do is be honest with them. "I'm greatful for all of the hours you've given me, but Unfortunately I don't feel it's what's best for me at the moment." Elaborate if you need to, but tell them how you feel. You're a person, not a robot. And if it's the kind of company that will fire you for being open and honest with them, then perphaps it would be best to seperate from them in any case. There'll always be another job, but i don't believe it will get to that. I'm positive they'll understand. Good luck.

first of all, i'm sorry to hear that you quit your job and that you're feelin so bad about the action you did.\n\nmaybe you were just so caught in the emotion at the moment, so you dropped the bomb, went ahead and quit... only to have some second thoughts at the end.\n\nnow don't feel so bad about it... you hated your job, might be you're so unhappy about it already, and thank that you were able to quit before you went nuts staying & bearing with it a little bit longer.\n\nwhat you have to do now is to relax and rest. then once you have stored enough energy, you can go try to look for another job. i know you can make it. =)

well you better ask yourself if you want to stay with that job. coz you know i feel the same way when im working actually till now im still struglling how i wish i could just escape here in this work.\n\nNever continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself; you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined."\n~Johnny Carson~

travel...or you could work in a restaurant and learn that you hate people....or you could just take my world for it....  people suck.....go travel\n\nOn the other hand, you need to get the dang degree.  I am so jealous of all my "young professional" friends.  I am young and a broke, starving student.  You need to get that degree, and fast.

You are going to have to create your escape plan. Start building a bridge to get out. While your doing it, do something you like to do after work and do it.Your happiness is more important than putting up with people that don't care and are stuck abusing you!

i would try to find a better job, either more money or more job satisfaction or ideally both.  if you find something better you should get out and don't look back.

Make a list of what makes you unhappy about those people.\n\nMake another list of what makes you love your job.\n\nIf the list of things you love is longer than the list of unhapiness, you should just find a way to get beyond the personalities of the people you work with. Stick to policies, procedures and principles. Smile at everyone and make like they don't bother you, but just try to stay as uninvolved with the personal lives and other people's personal problems. Do the best you can do at your job and maybe/hopefully, you will be there long past those people or maybe/hopefully, they will adjust their attitudes so that they are not so bad to work with.\n\nIf the list of unhappiness is longer than the love, stay there until you find a better job that you think you might be able to eventually love so much.

When you start hating to show up at work everyday and you can't wait to go home.  When you are stuck in a dead end job that has no avenue for advancement or growth (personally or technically) that when you know its time to move on to something different.  Start interviewing and applying for differents jobs now if you can so the transition will be easier.  Ask yourself - What are you afraid?  Are you more afraid of failure?  Don't spend your energy and time on fear, use the time you have now to educate yourself or try to find a job that you want to do.  Best of luck.

Yes I went through the same thing.  I found at that point there is nothing you can do.  Although you probably never deserved to be in this sitution I find that usually people need to gang up on one person and bully them.  It is not acceptable.  I went on meds because of it and when I was done working there I came off of the meds.  Management was involved in this case and I was approached by a laywer to sue these people.  I choose not to, the reason being that it would have cause more stress.  I now have a better job with better pay and I no longer take meds.  Please hang in there.  Start looking for a new job right now.  They cant fire you without a just cause, worse come to worse you will be asked to leave with two weeks pay.  But find a new job, being unhappy is not worth it.

Hon, as a long time girl of being embarassed and angry for many of the "same reasons", let me tell you how to handle this and a few words of insight on people.\n\nFirst, you cannot "demand" anything but the bills you need to pay at your office.  \n\nThe only thing you are in control of is your reaction to this jerk ball.  He may have an opinion about you and your job, but that's his opinion and only that.  What you needed to do is just look him in the eye smile as if he's complimented you.  Yes, if he was your boss, this might be a bigger issue.  The thing I've learned about myself and you can learn as well is that no one "makes you cry" You are the only person in charge of when the tears come on.  Yes, outside events can trigger an emotional response, but you are ultimately the only one who allows the emotion to errupt.  Either way, it does not make it easy to deal with sometimes.  If you are totally confident in your ability on the job, then let him say and think what he wants.  You know the facts, and remember them no matter what your co-worker says.  You are good at your job and you are there for the reason that many people do not have the orginazatoinal skills that it takes to do your job.  Maybe you have some underlying feelings that you really are only a pretty face with no skills?  At any rate, look into yourself to realize what exactly got your nerves on edge that day.    It is something deep inside of you that wells up and then you choose this jerk to "lose it" on. (maybe?)  Remember the facts and keep your chin up,  he's probably just got some unresolved issues as well.  What I might do, is jot down the date and what he said that offended you.  Keep a running tab of derogatory and positive both.  If you have to set it up like a spreadsheet, do so.  If you get a large amount of statements that are negative, then you have a log of it and you've recorded while it's fresh in your mind.  IF you end up with a large sheet with dates and statements, then you can start your demands.  This is a math problem, like everything in life.  Aren't you glad you know math so well.  Good Luck.

I call this bullying, especially the bits about not giving you your work and shouting at you in front of other people.  Is there a personnel department or union you can see about this?  If not, I suggest you look for another job before you get symptoms of stress.

Are you keeping tabs?  You should document everything!!!  The day will some when you are asked why you are so unhappy?  If you really want to leave then, they best time to look for a job is while you have a job!  \nBest of luck to you!

You could try getting another job.  Ask how you could help your company more.  Maybe they are downgrading you because you are not performing up to their expectations.  Why do you think god is mad at you?  You need to deal with that.  You can get ahead based on your own efforts and abilities.  If your salary didn't change, maybe it's no big deal.  Look for opportunities and work for them.  Don't wait for your company to take care of you.  They won't.

NEVER work at a job you hate. Life is to short. Better to make less and be happy.

you should tell them you don't appreciate them disrespecting you and especially in front of people if you keep letting them do it there not going to stop. until you let them know how you feel .your just being too nice and that's OK but you have feelings too . tell them to treat you like they want to be treated ,they shouldn't threaten your job either that's not very professional .she could lose her job also  and start taking your lunch i would just do my job and go home you dont need friends like them .

what do you do as a job? i found that i had to change my attitude in a lot of different areas of my life. i don't know exactly what i'd suggest for you since i'm not sure what type of work you do. are you religious at all? that is something i got away from and i found myself sinking deeper and deeper into anger and despair. have you talked to your doctor about it? i have had to stay on an antidepressant. my family has a history of depression. sometimes we just have chemicals in our brains that are out of whack. it is hard to deal with life if your brain isn't working properly. i have made myself always look on the bright side. i dont' know you, but as a starter, you can be happy that you have a roof over your head and at least some type of employment. i honestly know how you feel. please don't consider killing yourself. i don't know how many times i made passive/aggressive attempts to harm myself. i was wreckless and i did not care at all. it's an awful feeling. i really suggest you talk to a doctor. psychological sickness is the same as physical sickness. some people do not understand that. there are methods to heal yourself. please talk to someone. i'll say a prayer for you.
