I've recently had this experience and you shouldn't stick in something where your not happy, your current situation is not your final destination

Definitely not. If you don't like it anymore and feel it is bringing you down, then either look for something else and quit once you know you have a backup plan in place, or if you know you can afford to quit without another job then do that. There is no point in putting yourself through this bad situation and causing unnecessary stress and worry. Even though it may seem like it, your life doesn't revolve around employment and being unemployed or quitting your job isn't the worst thing in the world - especially if it improves your emotional wellbeing.

Putting yourself in an environment you highly dislike is bad for you and your soul. Venture into the world of possibilities and begin to see how other opportunities could make you feel like a better person. Believing that you are meant to do better things is the first step to becoming a better person. Remember many things may have zero to little worth at a certain store but when taken to a store this same thing may have the value that may be unimaginable to many of us. Never forget your worth and never forget that you are capable to what you put your mind to.

Well, let's face the reality. 80-90% of the working people hate their jobs. The whole purpose of a job is to earn money for survival and a better standard of living. So, if you already have other stable sources of income, you could consider quitting that job. If it's a no, then you gotta stay in it my friend , until you create other stable income sources or find a job which aligns with your passion, for which you can devote hours of work ..without any regrets. I hope this helps you think and arrive at a decision. Good luck my friend :)

If you don't like your job, start applying for another one until you have another job to fall back on.
Do you make lots of cash? 🤑
It's all up to you sweetie.

Currently going through this also. I'm actively looking for work while keeping at a dead-end job, and it is DIFFICULT. 50+ applications sent out and very few responses (mostly just rejections). This is making me glad I didn't quit this job that I hate because in this unresponsive culture where the employers have the upper-hand, who knows how long I'll be looking for the next job.
However in the case of abuse then of course it's probably best to leave (assuming the proper authorities have been notified first). Always keep your health and well-being as top priority! If there is no abuse/misconduct, then I advise to keep the money coming in while job-searching (as I'm doing). It's quite the self-esteem drain but let's hope in due time it will pay off.

this is a very common thought these days. Many of us feel stuck in jobs we dont like but there are always some reasons like social or emotional or financial. Staying in a b that we hate, is sure to keep us in a state of constant anxiety. so it doesnt help in long run as we cant give our best productivity at job. And this is bound to be noticed and that carries a risk of getting fired sooner or later. And this constant anxiety fueled with insecurity is bound to affect not only our professional life but personal, social life too.

If you hate it, can you do a good job? How does the job make you feel? What is it that makes you hate it? What makes you stay? Answer those questions to yourself and I believe you will find the answer to your question within yourself. Can you see yourself there in a year? What are your options? You will be surprised in how easy it is to make a decision if you have the answers to the questions. Make a list with pros and cons and it will become even clearer. Follow your heart and chose smart and wise.

It depends on how long you have been doing this job. If it's already a long time period and the job is just giving you stress and anxiety then you better quit but If it's your beginning in the job then don't leave so early. Liking and disliking matters a lot. You perform well in the job you like but sometimes it's more important to focus on circumstances. keep a few things in your mind:
1- if you quit, how many chances are there that you'll get a job of your choice?
- is there any source of income other than this job?
3- Discuss this issue with your family
4- what reasons make you hate the job? are there ways to cope with it?
5- how badly it's affecting your psychological health?
6- if escape is the strategy that you use often, then don't leave the job.
best of luck for your future!
