It depends. If it puts stress on you mentally or physically you should leave for your own sake but if it's just kind of annoying it's really up to you.

You need think are you stable enough to up and leave, But personally i would suggest apply for other roles as soon as possible therefore you can jump jobs and be in happier environment.

Not if its in your control! From experience, there is no job worth your sanity. If you are in a position to leave, then do it. If not right now, actively pursue job searching so you can leave! You will be happier at a job you love!

If you strongly hate a job, it's best you don't stay, however, think wisely. Staying at a job in which you despise prevents you from growing spiritually and mentally.

No. Start looking for a new one. There’s no point in being miserable at work. It’ll take a toll on you in the end. So start searching for a new job and then quit this one.

No. You should do what you love to do, no matter what job that means having. If you are at a job that you hate, it can drag you down and make it so that you are constantly miserable. Instead of dealing with that, do what you love, and you will be able to be happy.

I always say find something else and give two weeks for you. This shows you are reliable. It also shows the next employer that you will hold value and respect with them too.

The easy answer is "no". Typically we wouldn't encourage people to continue to do something that they hate. However, you have to consider your specific circumstances. Consider how realistic the possibility is of you getting another job. Consider what dependencies there are on you keeping a job regardless of how you feel about it. If you really hate your job so much that you want to leave it, then plan your exit. Prepare yourself to leave. Polish up your resume, reflect on your strengths and skills. Make sure you know what you want to go towards and not just what you are trying to leave. Have a plan, then leave.

Regardless of how much money you make at a job, it would be unhealthy to continue working at a job if you despise it. If you know you tell yourself every day that you hate your job, not only is that a bad mental effect on you, it affects the quality of the work produced from that job as well as others in the surrounding environment. No sum of money will ever compensate for your happiness and peace and well-being. Life is not meant to be wasted on materialistic things that you don't like; spend your time on Earth wisely.

This can be a very tricky question which you need to determine a few key criteria before making a decision. First, you need to understand what makes you currently hate it. Could it be a co-worker? Could it be the department you're in and you wanted something different? Could it be the work is too much and you weren't given the proper tools and resources? Knowing what is making you hate it can lead you into discovering steps to try to fix it. Second, you need to take those steps to try to fix it. There is nothing wrong with speaking up especially if something is hindering your performance. If the organization is truly wanting you to succeed, they will listen to what you have to say. Sometimes a simple discussion can change something that's wrong. Finally, if those attempts to fix it don't work, and you know you want to leave, make sure you don't burn any bridges, do enough research to make sure you have a new job settled to go to and give your current organization plenty of notice.
