What do you do if you hate your job, don't want to be there anymore, but don't know what else you want to do?

Might want to start with what you don't like about the job?  Is it the people, profession, industry, job function, etc.?  And tackle problem from there.  \n\nThen find out what are other options.  Transfer to other dept? Other location?  \n\nIf nothing works, and you definitely want to get out of it, a good place to start would be figuring out what you LIKE to do that will also bring you income.  (Some community colleges offer classes in that perspective.)  Also talk to your friends to find out what your strengths are.  Hit the newspaper and see if anything interest you.  Start from there and see how it goes.  \n\nGood luck with job search.

I'm on the same boat with you. I keep moving from job to job also. I am never satisfied with anything that I do. I always seem to point out all the flaws in my jobs but never anything good about it. Who knows, maybe I just hate working for the MAN! I GUESS I WILL GO BUY A BUSINESS!

Never quit a job before you get another one.  So start looking for another job right away.  When you get one then you can quit.

Is there anything you can do to change the job frustration? Talking to a district office or a boss higher up? Changing job duties? Is there anything funny about how sorry the place is? Does the place do anything good that can make you feel better that your frustration is going for something useful? \nI read a book called "100 Things That People Do To Be Happy". It suggests that making yourself happy takes a lot of practice, like playing basketball. Maybe you can think of that while you are working and look for things that put a smile on your face when you don't feel like smiling. Do you have a library nearby? Try and find a book on drawing caricatures and make up funny pictures of the things or people you work with.\nMake sure you get as much sleep as you can (try earplugs and nightshades (blinders) if you are sleeping during the day, and as early at night as you can (probably hard if you work late). Sometimes your emotional state is worse if you aren't getting enough vitamins also.\nI'm sure others will have more suggestions for meditating, etc. I prefer to attack my frustrations whenever I can.

First off, do you want to stay in the same field....if so, be careful not to burn bridges, \nBut, most important realize that each day you spend there is a day of your life which you will never get back.\nYou are more important that the company who makes you miserable.  Offer a 2 week notice letter, and maybe they won't want you stay.\nGuilt should be saved for family and friends, and things you wouldn't say out loud in public.  Leaving a job does not fall into that category....if they didn't want you, you would be history and they wouldn't feel guilty.   Good luck!

If you're unhappy with your job, do everyone including yourself a favor and start looking for alternatives. For example, if the company is moving to a place where more jobs are available, perhaps you could make the move with them, then discreetly find another job.\n\nBest of luck!

Very simple:  If you are unhappy in your current employment situation, and you see a better opportunity elsewhere, investigate it by all means... but make sure everything promised to you is in writing.  Also, don't quit your current job until you research everything about this new company.  I'd hate to see you burn a bridge without knowing all the facts.  Good luck.

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.

First of all, decide what you want and do it.  You're in a job you don't like.....keep it until you find one you do like.\n\n"The are sort of family"...no they're not.  They're users and abusers.\n\nUntil you take control of your own life you will feel helpless...and that is because you are.\n\nNow get up, dust off and decide what you want and then figure out how to get it.  No one can do this for you...but you.

take some time to think about how happy you really are with your job and where your career is taking you. if you feel like you want to try something else, go for it. you can always come back to a similar job in that field but you will never know if youre missing out on something you would love if you dont try!

Look for something you would be willing to do. You would have a hard time doing something you hate for the rest of your life. I'm curious to find out why you can't do what you love though.

First if you want to quit your job have one already waiting on you to start. If you feel that you just don't want to drag yourself into that same old job anymore then start looking for a new one. Once you have your starting date set up give notice to your old one. Be happy.

Yes, Go back to work. Be tough, tell her you didnt appreciate what she did and how unprofessional it is to act like that. It seems like they still want you to work there and everything, you arent the first person to ever get mad and walk off the job, but if the abuse continues or gets worse then you will have to consider something else.

I don't hate my job but I don't love it either...it just pays the bills. I would like to quit to have a real career again, but I don't know when that'll happen.

If you hate your job, money doesn't matter. You can make  all the money in the world and be miserable. I say find yourself a job that you might half-way like. Money isn't everything
