This has to be your decision, is it the actual job you do not like or the company or the people? Are the reasons for not liking it something that can change? If so then maybe the changes can happen and you will be happier there.

Start searching for a new job now. Don't quit your job in these turbulent times. I know what you feel. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, I’m stuck at an office manager job I was already planning to quit. I had forced myself to stay a full year at my friends’ urging, only to have all hell break loose in 2020. Teleworking has been helpful during this time, because the long daily commute was killing me. But working remotely has exposed the things I dislike most about my job: lack of leadership, unclear lines of responsibility and general disorganization and dysfunction. Since we’ve been teleworking, I’ve been the only one answering our office’s main phone line for four solid months, because it has to be forwarded to someone’s cellphone. I turn 50 soon; I don’t want to be head receptionist anywhere. Also, pandemic or not, this full-time job has always had a part-time workload, which was another reason I wanted to leave. At least now, instead of sitting around my office doing nothing for large portions of the day, I’m hanging around my apartment where I can do laundry, read, watch endless covid-19 news coverage, etc. My original plan was to resign in good standing and return to the service industry for a bit, but then the service industry collapsed. With the high unemployment rate and a desperate need to keep my health insurance, my revised goal is to leave by the end of this year. But I’m battling the urge to just run out the door.

What is it that makes you dislike your job? Discussing things with your employer can often relieve work place issues and boost a positive environment for everyone. Though the choice to leave is ultimately up to you.

Just by asking that it proves you are willing to change. Question is. Why not? Depends on the answer change it or not. But if its just an "need an aproval thing" you only need to aprove it yourself

Maybe you should find the way to adjust it to the way you feel more comfortable, or try to talk with your partners

It depends on the situation. If you're job isn't important to you, but you need it to live then by all means try to keep living, but if you are truly hurt. Than you do what you need to. quit or stay it is all up to how you look at the world.

Continue doing it till you get something new. Think of the money. We live in tough times. Have faith.

Depends on the situation you find yourself in. If you really need the money, you should keep doing it for a while but search for other jobs meanwhile. If the income is not a problem, start looking for a more pleasuring job.

You should quit if you are able to. Life is way to short to be doing something that you no longer enjoy. As long as you have food on the table for you're family and a roof over their heads then I see no reason why you should keep being somewhere you don't like.
