Are you laying in bed right now dreading getting up and going to a job you HATE? This video is for you.
If you're frustrated with where you are right now because where you want to be feels really far away, know this:
Whatever it is that you're doing right now-no matter how much you hate it-is leading to the thing that you dream of doing (if you allow it).
In this video, let me explain to you how you can milk your current job for all of the possible knowledge, experience, and learning opportunities-and use it to launch yourself into the career of your dreams.
10 years ago, I wasn't the most-booked female speaker in the world. I was far from it. But I was honing my skills, learning, trying and failing, and gaining important experiences that have gotten me to where I am today.
What skills are you building? Let me know in the comments below.

[@shayb8315]

I love this. I hate my job, but I hate every job. It's not the work, it's working in general. I hate being a slave every day. I want to spend my life living, traveling, experiencing things. Not being stuck in a building 10 hrs a day working for someone else. It's depressing but what can you do? This helps atleast..

[@Kimerlin81]

What about remote work with a flexible schedule? Try searching for those type of jobs. Wishing you all the best!

[@margaretdoliet1630]

I feel your pain Shay b😮‍💨

[@rachelk7555]

The huge problem is many jobs are mentally and psychologically ABUSIVE and cause the employee so much psychological trauma that it makes the rest of his/her life unbearable as well. For example, try being a direct patient care nurse - 12 hour shifts, bullying, no time to eat or go to the bathroom, etc...

[@lorraine4720]

Rachel K yes, sometimes the lesson is an honest assessment of environment...I wish you the best in a tough situation and if change is in store may it be smooth and timely...

[@AdrianaGonzalez-zq6tx]

Rachel K Me as a middle school and high school teacher. Similar trauma and drama, only my "shifts" include the hours working at home. Always being cordial and integral... but never reaping the results nor the pay I'd expect for all my work.

[@mascara1777]

YES!!! More people need to talk about this! Workplace bullying costs us all money in the end because of missed work days, etc. Since the recession, workplace bullying has increased because employers think they have you by the balls because of the uncertain economy. The next fiscal year's budget come out with a deficit, and like clockwork, the bullying at work increases. Employers put lies into your performance review so they can fire you and replace you with 3 unpaid college interns; this exact example just happened to one of my best friends. And life is to short for misery and to have your self esteem chipped away at. So, no thank you, I will not remain in an abusive work environment ever again.

[@elmobolan4274]

Rachel K hum I thought I was the only one who kept getting crappy corporate jobs and going through bad experiences....

[@elmobolan4274]

mascara1888 wow, corporate America has gotten so bad...

[@vesarixx9080]

I gotta call BS on this, the things you're learning where you are right now could just as easily be bad habits rather than things that are going to help you, not everything happens for a reason and if it's not benefiting you, then you need to know when to break the cycle. Not everyone is in the same situation, that job flipping burgers isn't preparing anyone for a career in law and claiming that it is will only lead to missed opportunities because you stuck it out when you should have been chasing what you want.

[@lol.3460]

[@micheller6804]

I saw a video that said if you hate your job, try putting in more effort. You will either get a promotion to a job you might enjoy, or learn the skills to progress in your career elsewhere. I tried the advice, got a small promotion, then hit a wall. So I went to another company and got promoted into a higher position. From personal experience, this is much better advice.

[@rt203]

I'm learning to let go of always wanting to be in control. Being calm even when people annoy me. Putting up with crap... learning to just let it go....

[@gugu532]

[@jamiel6169]

Usually I agree with all of Mel's videos, but there are a lot of toxic, abusive jobs out there. Are you being severely underpaid compared to the normal market value of your job and/or your co-workers? Are you consistently required to work 60+ hours while getting paid poorly for 40? Is your job physically dangerous or abusive either through poor safety standards, or requiring more than 10 hours of continuous work per day with inadequate breaks? Does your job require you to devote a lifestyle to working rather than promotion a work-life balance and/or abuse emotional loyalty to their product/service/cause to wring you for extra uncompensated work? Does your job prevent you from having the time to make or grow your family? All of these are far too common and are also really good reasons to quit a job, no matter what lessons you could learn from it.

Tech support or customer service is better, but you are still dealing with self righteous assholes who think they have the right to demean and talk down to you.

I've been in a customer service world for 5 years, I was promoted several times then I quit my job cold turkey, now I realized I should have done much earlier. I know where she's coming from, but she is wrong in many places. 1. I met several people inside BPO who work their ass off for more than 12 years and yet I don't see any progress in their life. If you are planing to work in one company and apply her theory without exploring other options you'll just gonna wind up old and depressed. 2. Its not about the money, working is important to pay bills etc.. but there's always a job that you wanna kill yourself everyday...(customer service for example) 3. These types of companies are not going to create a statue of you to honor your loyalty. Its not gonna happen In my case after I was brainwashed by the company that if I resign I will struggle with life, now I found peace and happiness. I found something I'm passionate about, there was a sacrifices during the first couple of months but fuck its worth it. I'm not saying you quit your job right away, assess your finances first if you are paying for a lot of things either minimize your lifestyle or find another jobto refresh your mental state. You can always find a shitty job, don't be afraid.

[@melrobbins]

Great share - thank you!

[@iwrite6388]

Thanks Mel! This really helped me today. I am that person working at the front desk. In a parking garage. I am learning to pay attention to details. I always worked on big, broad issues. But right now my job is teaching me how to be diligent, exact and accurate in the little things. In turn, I am teaching my colleagues how to deliver great customer service. A colleague told me recently, "We don't care about people, we care about cars." Since she is training me I didn't argue. Instead I've been demonstrating how to care about cars (details) while still being customer-focused and pleasant to people. I think we are teaching each other!

I work in a car part factory. I’m around dangerous/toxic chemicals all day doing something a robot could do better. Minimum 8 hours a day, and most days you get drafted to work 12 because of the seniority based system in play. This is the plight of many unskilled Laborers. It’s so hard for me to want to leave because I make more money than I ever have, but I know that ultimately it will have negative health effects and keep me locked into working for someone else. Going to try and find something in a field that interests me, even if that means a pay cut, because I know this isn’t how to live a fulfilled life.

"You gotta eat around them bones." A phrase coined by a client of mine who was in rehab. Another client was complaining to him about their mandatory group therapy and he told him, "Look man, there's some good meat there, but you gotta eat them bones." I'll never forget it. Or him. He was one of the few (sadly) who went on to graduate from that program, get a job, remain sober, and stay out of prison, to this day.

This speaks for people who is in their early career or job and people who is progressing in mid-tier corporate level. Learn what you need to learn as quick as possible and you can carry forward that skills to other job. When you move without “carrying something”, that’s when your value is less and in low bargaining power situation.

[@JohnM...]

What am I learning? That the people above me see me as expendable, as someone who will tolerate being given the CRAPIEST of shifts they have, of never complaining as I can't pay bills with no job etc. Christ, I have a degree in mathematics and have spent 10 years TRAPPED working in a grocery store. Yes, trapped. I detest every minute thing about my job, I detest my ' superiors ', the customers, most of whom I wouldn't spit on if they were on fire, and I detest myself for having tolerated this shit for so long. I'm ASHAMED OF MYSELF for being 48 and having no choice but to say "would you like a bag?" when I used to read, study French, and fill every spare moment emersed in mathematics. Now I'm a zombie with no self confidence and no future.

There is not much to learn a some jobs that is wishful thinking. I have done uber eat. There is not much learning there. In retail there is also not much to learn. There is the possibility that you reach a plateau learning and then you are stuck. Is basically what is happening to me. I have learned more from running my own smal etsy shop. I get to do coat accounting, manufacturing, bit of marketing and fulfilling sales. Yet at my day job as a digital associate at Walmart I have not learned much, I am only stressed at the job when it should not be, and my learning had plateau.

[@jostmz]

I agree. Don’t quit your job cuz you hate it, quit because there’s no growth or your next step is elsewhere. Hating your job because you need to “work” will not make your next you a better experience.

I’ve been trying so hard to make this work that I’ve spent more energy trying to convince myself to love something than actually being happy!

Thank you so much for your advices! Your videos are gold

[@charleshurstreinvention3959]

There are many gurus who tell you that you shouldn't hate what you do. But does hating your job actually hurt your other planes in the physical, emotional and spiritual realm? As I told my own subscribers--yes it does. If you despise going to work that is eight hours of your day you are unhappy. Plus the getting up in the morning for it and getting back home is another two hours. Which would mean most of your day, most days of the week, most of your life--you hate doing what you do. This will affect the emotional plane and lead to the midlife crisis earlier than expected. It will drain your energy and then guess what? You stop taking care of your physical plane as well. Then your spiritual plane will fail as you see yourself as just another insignificant cog in the universe. So if that life in the high suburbs is destroying your planes my suggestion is to either laterally change careers or downsize so you can at least be content in what you do---most of your time. Hope this helps someone out there---Charles

[@longpipe31]

This is so true. I have been with an abusive and toxic work environment for quite sometime. It was hard. I did complained sometimes but mostly I tried focusing on working while being emotionally detached and also put lot of effort in gaining other skills required to transition to new job. One day I was sitting and had a realization that I have become this strong person that is not affected by people or environment. Rock strong. Next day I got call from a company for job that I was looking to transition. :) Don’t worry about others focus on learning and growing in every situation.

Appreciate your job for what it is teaching you, but also have the courage to move on when it’s no longer serving you. You can’t become a successful entrepreneur if you never quit your job so obviously that’s not what Mel is saying. She’s just reminding us not to always rush toward quitting as the solution. A great follow up video would be “how do you know when you’ve learned enough and you’re ready to take the leap toward the next big thing”?

Hello everyone. Right now, I live in staff accommodation, am making around $2,200 CAD take-home AFTER rent, just became debt-free and have around $1,300 saved so far - doing the job I hate for 3-6 more months will allow me to save up a 3-6 month emergency fund of $4,000 -$8,000.

I'm interested in a video where they discuss how to be ok with setbacks and jumping through hoops in the real world. Meaning for example when you are in a very productive place and it seems like you have to work twice as hard when people do not do their jobs for example the barista, customer service reps, post office workers. There is no controlling what others do or don't do. I just wonder if this bothers other people as much. It gets frustrating having to do people's jobs for them and your own. Thanks, guys feel free to link content like that for me!

I work at an office of an administration. It‘s boring. I sit there 8 hours and put documents into folders. Sometimes I get an email from a colleague where she asks me if I can could change the name of a fucking document on our server. Or put the attached files into our server! Wtf? We have a large community office where I sat with my coworkers close-by. One day the manager decided that I should move two rows away. Now these coworkers still work together, chat, have fun and enjoy their day, while I sit there alone with coworkers that are not on my team and nobody talks to me. The third year at this job now goes to an end and I got offered an indefinite contract. YEAH GREAT, now I‘ll have depression for the rest of my life because of this fucking waste of time!

You need to think million times before you quit. Remember there are so many people out there dreaming to be in your shoes. Millions of unemployed people are dying to have a job. Toxic work environment is reality but you would rather endure that than being homeless. We should have this mindset that we live for ourselves and our family not for others. So never quit.

There is some negative comments on here, I think the balance is taking what you can from every opportunity you may have worked in. No they are not all great places but everywhere has atleast some kind of skill you can learn, but take what you can..if there is nothing more to learn then it may be time to move on to your next better thing. I am wanting to have a business of my own someday, and I have learned customer service, right now I am doing an independent contractor position and I believe this is teaching me making sales, and self discipline. Something I'm not good at! Lol. I am learning to rely on myself and not be a slacker. And to get things done because they need to be done from my choice for once. Not when someone else said to.
