10 Signs You're At The Wrong Job

[@cole6383]

I quite my job Monday and I've actually smiled for the first time in months.

[@ShainaLeis]

Awwww this made me smile :)

[@tuhinabhattacharya1499]

wow..... I think it's high time for me leave my job as well and I have to do it this time. it's been more than a year...

[@shutit4024]

@@tuhinabhattacharya1499 how did it go? I’m handing in my letter next week

[@vapidrabbit198]

when people ask me about my job when i'm out and about, i tell them, "i'd rather not talk about unpleasant things during my free time."

[@ShainaLeis]

I totally hear that!!

[@jasonmims5057]

When I worked at a call center I experienced some of these. I was depressed on sunday, I didn't have good performence, I had little desire to learn new things and I wished I had the janitors job. I'm an operations processor at a bank now and I love it so much more.

[@ShainaLeis]

I'm SO happy to hear that! Good for you :)

[@themogly7353]

Jason, I think you are prob normal to not like the call center job. I recently had a phone interview with one and said "it sounds like hell" and she didn't disqualify me after that comment. I know I was qualified but my comment should have disqualified me from being hired. I got more and more depressed with the phone interview and just the thought of sitting in a cubicle. I decided to stay unemployed.

[@sharynrosa5403]

I will love to work in a call center then just working on cleaning buildings. See not everyone will like to work in a office or do cleanings jobs ...I know I love my office job because that's where my passion is.

[@fluffysox6072]

I used to work in a call center too and I remember feeling all of this. I used to resent the people who liked the job because I felt like they were enabling our horrible treatment. When I quit I didn’t regret it for a single second

[@oliviamathew733]

These all apply to me. I am so miserable at my job, and unfortunately because of this, my job is all I think about. It’s a well paying job and the people I work with are very nice, but I just feel my job isn’t a good fit for me. It requires a lot of analytical thinking and is very subjective, and I just cannot handle this. I’m not saying I need a job to be completely easy and stress-free, but I would like something a bit more black and white. I have so much anxiety that I’ll make a mistake, when I didn’t have that at my previous job (that I loved and only left because I applied for my current job that was a higher level in the same company). I’m so scared to quit because I’m scared of what my boyfriend, his family, and my parents will think. Also, I’m not exactly sure what route to take when I leave. I have a couple of ideas, but I’m scared people will just think I’m a constant quitter and will keep giving up. I’m also scared of what my boss will say. I know everything would eventually turn okay (I hope), but right now I’ve been going through this nightmare for nine months.

[@bex6156]

hey, so did you quit? and how are you doing now?

[@chrissyberry685]

When physically you can't do anything after work because your body feels like it's been tramatized from the hard labor. You can barely get in the car to go home.

[@ShainaLeis]

That's your body's way of telling you to change course lady!

[@thebestcat9601]

I can so relate to this...I just quit a job I started as a busser because the work was so demanding and taking a huge toll on my body. My feet, back and neck are killing me 😢😭😥

[@suebollhorst8620]

@@thebestcat9601 I feel the same way! My feet are so bad I could cut them off! I spend days off resting just to go back to same crap. Bills! Bills!

Sue Bollhorst ugh that’s tough😩

[@suebollhorst8620]

Stephie Have you tried a chiropractor? I went for a year & it worked wonders for my neck & back. I'm sure my problems are because I quit going but got too expensive. I would definetly check for your neck. Good luck & hope it gets better!

[@hlub1111]

anyone who hate their job this much should definitely quit. and find a true passion that would help them make money OMG

[@ShainaLeis]

Yes, coming to terms with the fact that you're in the wrong job is the first step. I honestly look at being at a job you despise is a blessing, as long as you use it as motivation (fuel) to find your passion and do work you love. Thanks for watching!

[@heatherfeather1293]

All 10 apply to me. I'm actually getting suicidal over my job

[@ShainaLeis]

Hey Heather! If you're having suicidal thoughts, I'd definitely recommend seeing a professional. Some people see a therapist and a life coach at the same time!

[@LoveTheEighties]

The job is not something you have to do your entire life so don't give it that much power over your life. That feeling of torment does pass by so be patient. keep looking and applying and someone will eventually call you for a new job. Hang in there and stay strong..

[@MistyHaven]

Man homelessness is better than giving up. You have value JUST AS YOU ARE. Let us remember.. What we hate most can often induce such a rage that we are propelled into action. That's my case anyway. Let that rage bring you into opening yourself up to beliefs that might seem "insane" about what you are capable of. For me, it was do or die. I began to do what I loved (streaming while making art) and while I am currently in a hiatus due to moving and setup, I will NEVER quit on my personal dreams. I let people's opinions about what was possible fuck with my head for way too long. FUCK THEM ALL. FUCK EVERY PERSON YOU WORK WITH AND ALL THEIR OPINIONS. Your life is more valuable than that anyone approve or like you, or even believe in you. Open yourself to your deepest fantasies; you'd be surprised what you are capable of when you simply believe and act with the fury of overcoming what once held you down.

[@The-Warrior-Optimist]

10 out of 10. I literally cried on Sunday afternoon having tears in my eyes... I wake up having anxiety every morning.. there are few things which are not meant for you.. I think being janitor is better than having in a shitty job.. the thought of going to office makes my stomach sick..

[@ShainaLeis]

I'm sorry you're going through this. I remember the feeling like it was yesterday. You're definitely in the right place. I have a bunch of resources you can take advantage of!

[@chadesu7837]

10 out of 10 this is my first job after college and I just started like 3 weeks ago. . It feels like I'm there for months already . I can't imagine myself doing it for more days, weeks, months and year. . . I can't connect with anybody else in that place. . .

[@ShainaLeis]

Good to know! If your intuition knows it's the wrong path, time to change course.

I'm a teacher. Every labour day my stomach turns ...knowing that school is about to restart. I'm tired ...underpaid... underappreciated. I got 2 interviews next week ( yes I was laid off again) and I am not excited about the interviews for yet another teaching job. But I am super excited about this AUDITION coming up...hoping to make my side gig my MAIN gig!!

[@1970brenz]

Yes I relate to the prison one. Just being a drone at a desk for 8 hours a day, and not being allowed to chat to anyone, it's like you are supposed to be a machine. Awful. Then you only have a couple of hours to yourself by the time you travel home and get food, it's time for bed again. :( I was happier doing part-time and if I ever had to do full-time I thought I would rather have two jobs as there is much more variety and interest.

[@ShainaLeis]

I actually agree...I enjoyed bouncing around and having more than one job as it "switched" things up! If I were you, I'd start to way my options and start taking some action to make changes, even if they're small at first.

[@jayj4439]

This sounds like a call center and I can completely relate. It's a sweatshop seriously

Hey Tica. Sorry to hear that you hate your job, but the good news is- you're in control of your life. Your boss may not have fired you, but if you're determined to leave, you have the power to start dreaming and scheming of what's next and possible!

[@Danigirl1718]

So great! I feel like a million bucks now!

[@Hamdoe]

This is suuuper accurate. My previous company was great but it got bought out and I had to find a new company, but the one that I got now is just a mess. There's no pressure to quit but I have this feeling that I NEED to find a better job WHILE I have this one so that I won't be unproductive. The problem now is that its hard to find a job that I like, so now I'm stuck at this company doing everything half-assed & actually WANTING to be dismissed.

[@ShainaLeis]

Been there, done that 🙌🏻 it's not an easy place to be in, but find comfort in that it's not forever. Keep taking action- you'll get there. And interestingly enough, I've found (in my experience and people I know) that when you're in that headspace (wanting to be dismissed) the universe more times than not conspires to your desire 😳

[@sarasweet5561]

I got a job working with animals a couple months ago, which is what I've been trying to do since I was in high school. But now that I have it, I've been miserable. I cant tell if it's the job itself or the people I work with. Maybe a mixture of both. We dont relate to each other at all and almost all of them are condescending towards me. I make mistakes yes, especially because I suffer from pretty bad brain fog. But I think I'm starting to get the hang of it now. Even so, I'm constantly on edge because I'm afraid of what they are going to say to me, and afraid of what mistake I'll make next. I'm tired of getting looked at like I'm stupid despite the fact that im trying so hard. I've realized that, my calling may still be with animals but just in a different line of work with them. Unfortunately those are hard to find especially since I haven't finished my bachelor's yet. Looking back at my previous jobs, I was in retail for a few years (despised that and didnt understand how my coworkers were so perky and eager to be there), I've worked at pizza hut, (which I wouldn't say i hated but i definitely didnt enjoy it), and a factory (I cried many days as i stood in my assembly line doing the same exact thing literally all day), and also at a small town gym. Which I actually enjoyed. I got to man the place by myself with no coworkers, clean, sign members up and sit in the office. I had to leave due to COVID and I didnt get enough hours to sustain myself. Which I was actually quite sad about. Now yes, all of these are entry level jobs of course, none of which would be careers, but it just makes me wonder, what kind of career WOULD I enjoy until retirement? I dont like job hopping, I want to be content and happy with whatever career I choose, but I have no vision of what I'd like my life to look like 20 years from now, despite how much time I've spent meditating on it. I feel so stuck and imprisoned in this endless cycle of absolutely hating what I do. Really makes me want to find a rich man and become a trophy wife haha

[@lala09lilla]

I feel you. Im on 11days of working in new place as retail after being jobless for a year because of pandemic. I dont feel belong here eventho the bnefits here are good. I try to get along with the environment but i just dont feel it. It was too overwhelm for me. I DID did mistakes while working, and got scolded. Compare to my old job, the environment was great and i get along with everyone eventho the wages was ehhhh and tiring but i always got motivated to work even some mistakes i did. Im thinking about quiting my new job. About 2 days ago, i almost got the job for my future career and they ask if i can come for 2-3 days of training, but because ive just start working so no luck cuz they want to hire immediately. Im afraid i wont be able to settle down to get better career as im almost 27yo now and yeah i dont like hopping from job to job too :'(

[@ShainaLeis]

It really depends on what you value the most. Do you value your freedom or a steady paycheck? Do you have the means to quit without anything lined up? Start asking yourself these questions.

[@sudoku47]

Thank you very much for the video. Even though I am a male viewer, I find it insightful and supportive. In particular, the sixth point that you raised strikes a chord with me, since I know from bitter experience that it is extremely painful to have to do something (almost) daily that has never appealed to you but which you have to keep doing simply because you need to earn at least enough money to survive! Much as I would like to quit my current job as soon as possible, I hesitate to do so as I see NO reason for optimistically assuming that I can easily find more suitable employment soon after my resignation.

I'm glad i found your video .It's very empowering.I'm experiencing all the 10 signs right now. I'm an elementary teacher in a public school for almost two decades. I love teaching children but not the tedious paperwork.I mostly don't enjoy my weekends and I lack time for my family because of so many take-home paperworks needed to be accomplished .I could not forget that one night, i dreamt of working as a janitress for a small company and in that dream I was holding a feather duster, was wiping an office table and I felt a genuine freedom and happiness that moment. Upon waking up, I got sad. That's how frustrated I am to escape from my current job.Thanks for the encouragement you are sharing through this video.I hope one day I could find the right job where my passion really is and could give me the real fulfillment and happiness I'm longing for.Godspeed...

Hey there. Thanks for watching and sharing your current experience. It seems like you have a really good grasp on the parts of your job that you enjoy and which parts you don't. This is such a great information as you explore what your passions and interests are. If changing careers is something that you really desire, I suggest shifting your thinking from "I hope one day I could find the right job where my passion really is" to "I WILL live my dream career" or something similar. This slight shift in your thinking is everything.

Hi there! There's a difference between hating your job and not being good at something (and sometimes both can go hand in hand). And you also want to look at ALL aspects of your job. For example, is it the teaching you don't like? Or maybe you enjoy teaching, but not the environment you're currently in? Take a good hard look at all the factors.

But what’s sad is that I started my job 2 weeks ago and the really only reason I was hired in the spot that day when I applied, was because they were really desperate for staff (now I know why) and I am just busting my ass. But I did apply to something that I enjoy doing and I am PRAYING that I get that job. Oh and here’s something that really pissed me off. For about 2 weeks working at the shit hole, they told me that I wasn’t even on the payroll. That’s right, for the last 2 weeks I had been busting my ass for nothing. And stressing out and not eating, for nothing. Like they were suppose to send me an email and wanting me to give out my Social Security number and my state ID whatever, but they never emailed me in the first place! Like here I am sitting eating breakfast waiting for hell to begin and all of a sudden, one of the staff came up to me and said that I’m not suppose to work today. But my boss told me to come in on Friday but apparently not. And this broad also told me that I am not getting paid because I didn’t fill out my online paperwork which they never even sent me to start with! Like, they should at least have some sort of rule where you have to fill something out before you start your job. So my mom was pissed and she called the manager and I sadly had to go back and have the manager in person send me that email. I got it and I’m going to send it and get the money I earned. But, I am seriously thinking about quitting. Like the others before me, seriously thinking about quitting.

[@ShainaLeis]

Sending you lots of positive vibes for a new job!

[@Lucas-td7jc]

I definitely feel trapped and stuck. I keep getting corrupted into getting more money anytime I try to quit. This sucks

[@ShainaLeis]

The good news is, we always have a choices. And we are 100% responsible for those choices. If you choose to accept the money and stay, then own it!

Hahaha!!!! The janitor analogy was spot - on !!!!

I always felt that I choose the wrong major when studying, now I am in a job that is low pay, long work hours and I really feel hopeless... I had been in the job for almost 2 years just because I need the money to survive and new jobs just seems very hard to come by... I always ended up breaking in my room as I felt I wasted soo much time and money for the wrong decision...

[@ShainaLeis]

I'm sorry to hear this! It's a situation that many of us find ourselves in. Grieve if you must, but then once you're ready, I encourage you to get into a better mindset so that you can take full control of your life and make changes.

[@maxwelltan6717]

Number 6 applied to me. I just feel like not doing what I actually want to do for my company right now. I'm really good at being a business consultant who goes into a company, identify and solve organizational problems using all the great tools that I already learned. For example, I wanted to help my company redesign our messy warehouse and proposed to my boss. But instead, my job is largely related to Finance monitoring payments from clients.

[@ShainaLeis]

It sounds like although you don't love your job, you're figuring out what you do like, don't and what you're good at...a huge part of the "battle." By doing this at my own crappy job brought me a little comfort. If you have time, check out some of my other videos on career/ passion, you might find them helpful as well. Good luck!

Every single word you said applies to me. I feel depressed a lot and I cant leave just because of the financial security and that I cant find something better or that I dont know what else will I do. Its really bad...

[@blameekatoneikosipente482]

What about when you love your job but hate the workplace, the (almost nonexistent) pay, and the way the company works?

[@ShainaLeis]

I'd start making a list of things you like and don't like about your job. It's very easy for us to generalize and say we hate everything about our jobs, but that's usually not that case- as you know. This is a great opportunity to get CLEAR about your ideal career. I made a list similar to this years ago when I was in corporate and I ended up creating my ideal career, not knowing at all what that list meant. Made no sense at the time. All good info to know!

[@apranabanana8738]

[@noritzugaming4406]

This is all very true. And i can attest to those sensations of dread. The bigger question is how does one go about changing their life at that point? Especially if there has been very significant investment toward your current career path? For example my personal situation has me in a position that if i quit being a nurse and was unable to find another job that affords me a similar income it would destroy everything i have in life (including my familys lives). Going back to school is a difficult option as the debt is already crippling and cannot be increased further. That leaves finding a diffierent line down my career path which unfortunatly has been unsuccessful at this time as most employers need entry level employess, which is the area im trying to escape. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

[@ShainaLeis]

+Noritzu Gaming Hi! You bring up a very GOOD point. Interestingly enough, once I finished editing this video, I thought people are now going to wonder, "OK. I hate my job, but now what?? I can't just quit." So I was actually thinking about doing a video about this next week or shortly after. Everybody's situation is very different of course, but I'll be sure to hit on some universal tips and guidance. I really appreciate your commentary and will absolutely take your personal situation into consideration as I create my next video.

[@noritzugaming4406]

+Shaina Leis I look forward to it. I hear all the time if you don't like what you quit. But I question how many people who say that have anything they would lose if they did. For me quitting my job would basically mean losing my home causing my wife and children to suffer, and probably bankruptcy. Unless I stumble on something that equals my income that I'm more passionate about. Look forward to hearing your take on it

[@ShainaLeis]

+Noritzu Gaming I think that we all have something to lose! Some more than others. I was going to write a long response to this, but I think it'll be helpful to put into video so that others can benefit from it as well : )

I was excellent in chemistry. I remembered being the top in my class back in high school. I use to love chemistry and read so many textbooks on the subject. Easy A without studying. I wanted to do my bachelors in chemistry back in 2007 but my parents, seeing me good in chemistry, forced me into chemical engineering. I failed the first semester hard. Ended up switching to business and now I work as a banker. I still remember my chemistry quiet well. Also in college, we had to take a course in chemistry and I got an A without attending any class and NOT even using the book. Just sat for the quiz and exams and wrote whatever I remember. Got an A (100/100) not even a 99/100. If I can go back in time, I'd study chemistry but been working for 6 years and almost turning 30. I feel it is late for now.

[@ShainaLeis]

I just started my job this past monday and it just doesn't seem like anything I thought it would be. I met the guys that work there, everyone is pretty cool but there is this man that just has this attitude, like he is pissed at being there most of the time. I tried to talk to him and he says he has worked at that location for 7 years and that he hates the current manager that just hired me. Every single thing annoys him and I asked him if he was an assistant manager or something, but no he just wants to have the same position. EVEN a customer asked me if I was new and he told me that he wouldn't work there for shit! I have been without a job for 9 months and I recently had worked as a barista for almost two years but I quit because I was just tired of the same routine and I am also a full time college student. I got the job a paint shop thinking if I would come out of my comfort zone it would be something I would enjoy but frankly I feel so unattached. On my first day and as much as I hear that guy just cursing this and that I want to actually take care of customers but I just don't know how. I REALLY do not belong there, I'd rather go back serving coffee, at least there is something to do every minute. Oh yeah! these guys don't get lunch breaks, they just happen to eat when there is time to do so, and it is always the same crew every day given that the store just makes enough to hire five people. GAHH.

I constantly think "i want to die" "damn i suck " "im going to get fired" "everyone must hate me" "i feel usless" at work all the time and im always saying sorry to everyone. I dont talk that much but when a customer comes in i speak firmly. When a customer is rude i just want to tell them to back off but i cant so i turn around and my mind starts the self hating process. Im so hard on myself at work. And it fucking sucks that i cant stop thinking negatice thoughts about how i shouldn't be working here im patheric. Making mistakes is just the match to being tossed into gasoline. I just explode with self hate its ridicules. I cant talk to no one about bc everyone has problems and people will think im weak and sensitive. So i have to hold it in. All the time.
