Start shopping the job market, and I don't mean sit on the computer. Get out and go door to door. Companies like to see what type of person you are and how well you handle yourself. See what is out there. See if you get some job offers. If they look good, then I'd use that as leverage in your current job to advance or get a pay raise. If they aren't willing to do it, then go to the new job. Don't waste your time in a company that isn't going anywhere, or is not willing to treat their people well, when that is time you could be investing in an up and coming company with a better atmosphere, and promotion potential.

Somehow, people with a sense of loyalty have trouble changing jobs.  I am looking to quit a horrible job, but I am having pangs of guilt.  These people would fire me at the drop of a hat even though I have worked very hard for a few years,\n\nThink of what is best for you.  Nobody is irreplaceable and they will easily find someone else for your current position if you decide to move on.  You are not the first, nor will you be the last person to do what you are contemplating.  If it is better for you to make the move, don't lose the opportunity,  But be sure to secure the job before you let your current boss know what you are planning to do.

Satisfaction is a choice. If you cannot find something you enjoy about what you are doing, it's time to find another job. At the very least, there's some pride in doing the best you can. Finding joy in the little things. \n\nAt one job, I took a lot of satisfaction in doing things that after I did them, someone said it was impossible. I solved problems and got my company paid on bills that were long over due. I enjoyed talking to different kids of people, I liked learning new things. Even aspects that I found a bit annoying, I gave myself a big pat on the back for getting them finished and out of the way. \n\nMake a choice and find your own bits of sunshine. If you can't, like I said above, it's totally time for a new job.

Keep doing the good thing. Consider a reward as an unexpected bonus.   \n\nRespect is earned at every turn, but dis-respect is forever. \n\nWhile loyalty sounds like a good thing, if you become unhappy, look for work elsewhere.  But don't make any desperate moves, as the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Give your present company a chance who knows what may happen - you may leave to go to another place and hate it I know someone who complained that her boss was too pushy, always picking on her, always giving her advice, etc.  She left a secure company enviroment to work someplace that offers a few dollars more but closer to home.  There however she could not use her cellphone, only had 20mins lunch and so much restrictions she regret leaving her first job\n\nSo stay there and experience it, you could always apply for another job in the future.

You can't demonize somebody . If they are not nice , just be glad you no longer work there . Find something else that makes you happy . Success is it's own reward . Forget about them . Are they really that important ?

You don't have to be happy with your job to do good work. Nor do you have the ability to do a job to enjoy it. However, if you are well trained, treated fairly, like some of your co-workers, and enjoy it then you will perform at a higher level going beyond what is just acceptable to excellence. Good for you and good for the company.

Just go to your manager, say "when you have a sec, could we have a chat?" That way, the ball is in their court. Make the meeting informal (as much as possible), tell him/her that you've been offered another job (don't say that you looked for the job, it came to you), but you really love this place and don't know if you want to leave. The manager will probably ask why don't you stay? Then you can talk about money. Don't be forceful as though you "deserve" a raise....\nGood luck!

You have to give it a while, let things settle.\nThe first few months are always the worst!\nTell someone ( a boss) if you have a specific problem.\nStill, if you feel it is a total waste why did you apply?\nMust have been something? even a wage is good when you have none. \nThen think.. will this get you anywhere you want to go? The skills you get make you a better employee for your next job - they are right in that.\nIf youy just quit then, depending on your hopes for you future, it will not encourage other employers.\nJust to balance this answer, I you are really really cheesed off with the job then get out. The boss will see your attitude and you will not do yourself any favours.

look if you absolutely hate your job then find another one.  life is too short to hate your job considering you spend 1/4 of your time there.

Ahhh the american way of thinking " suppose to give"\n\nBest way to get it is to work you butt off, make the company look good, don't expect and be happy to have a job. A good employer will give the appropiate rase or bonus if it's deserved. \nIf he doesn't he doesn't deserve your services and you should move on.\n\nThe other option would be to ask.

Might be better off to look for a new job...... If you don't make much money at the job you got layed off from you won't make sqaut on unemployment.\n\nI almost think they pay that low just so you will go out and look for a job... I know it's hard to live on that much money... I have been down that road myself.
