For me I'm not sure if I hate it I think I'm just bored with it I've been doing it for years and I really need a new challenge. I work in a supermarket and must admit the whole covid situation has changed the way I feel about it, people have used it as an excuse to be rude, shout at us blame us for not having stock etc. I'm thinking lifes to short to be stuck in a job I'm not loving.
Yes! It’s just so dull! I’m bored with it, it doesn’t excite me in the slightest. I work in an office for a corporate company, obviously working from home now but I’m so disinterested. I really just want to do something I enjoy. I love cooking and baking and did think of doing a cake design course and setting up my own little cake business but there’s just so many of them where I live, I don’t think I would stand a chance! I probably wouldn’t make very much money but at least I would be happier.
Love my job, really not keen on a lot of my colleagues tho.
I love my job but I’m frustrated by the company. It’s very much a boys club.
Ive been at my place for 15 years, but this last year the company showed their true colours. We were the last non-essential buisness to shut and the first to reopen with hardly any support for staff. I get abuse from the public daily about following the rules, masks, test&trace ect. Im on mimimum wage, my contracts been cut and was recently accused of being lazy for not covering other stores (which myself and my team had been doing for 6 months). I am desperate to leave but I love my team and the shift patterns fit my family, but Im not sure how much more tit I can take. I got offered a job elsewhere but i chickened out because this job is all Ive known since I was 18.
I’m a teacher, secondary, and while I love my subject I hate the constant negativity and blame culture. Defiance from the kids, blame and bitchiness from other staff. I’ve never felt more alone in the workplace, or more stressed. I feel like I’m always watching my back and waiting for the next nasty comment. 7 years in and I feel well and truly trapped now though.
Agreed the job is fine but not keen on some colleagues.
I don‘t hate my (part time student) job as such but some days I‘m just wasting my time at the office when I really could use that time for studying and I hate that.
Sometimes I think about quitting so I can fully concentrate on my last year but I need the money and I do like the experience I‘m gaining plus my boss is a great lawyer and I learn a lot from him.
If I were feeling like this in an „actual“ job though I would quite for sure! Your lives are too short to stay somewhere that makes you unhappy.

When I've hated jobs it's usually been down to people
How different staff are treated differently/ there are favourites
In customer service roles, the customers can be really horrible.
Lack of organisation.
I've found most of my jobs to be boring at times too but I can put up with boring, it’s the above that gets to me.

I’m trying really hard to convince myself that I don’t hate my job, because once you hate your job, it becomes a chore, sucks the life out of you. I am desperate to change my job but I’ve just had an offer accepted on a house and don’t want to leave if they ask for more payslips or something and I’ve actually left my job and on 3 month probation someone else. Mortgage lenders are strict on things like this so don’t want to jinx myself.
What I hate;
- Unfair workload
- Poor performance and errors not being dealt with by managers after being identified, no further training or guidance for those that need it, so they get away with doing half a job always, for the same pay I am on
- They have added more responsibilities that go beyond my job description in the last year. My pay hasn’t increased but more importantly resources haven’t increased to help with the additional tasks
- Profits over people. Can’t pay us more, put on a recruitment freeze yet still made £80mil last year in the pandemic. I work in Sofia housing! I have to fight tooth and nail to get support for people who need it because “there’s no budget”. There’s no budget. Eva use you didn’t allocate one, not that there isn’t money.
- People. It’s emotionally draining dealing with highly vulnerable with multiple needs and it’s got to the point where I don’t feel compassionate for people any more. My job has become robotic. It’s just another day with another person who is at crisis point with me trying to dig deep to find a way to give a tit.

The job in itself is fine. Stressful at times but overall I enjoy it. My boss is a complete tosser though, which makes me dread going in. It's a shame because the job is giving me experience in a sector I hope to qualify in within the next few years so it's valuable in that sense. If he weren't such an hole I'd genuinely wake up every morning wanting to go in, at the moment it's the opposite - I'm just counting down the days until the weekend all week long.
The job itself is ok not great but the way my boss undermines me constantly and changes the rules just because he wants an easy life make me unhappy.
I really really dislike my team, and its got worse working remotely instead of better. I cant bear the sight of one of them, he is such a fool. He ignores anyone who cant help him get futher in the company and he makes really inappropriate remarks all the time. I did tell my manager this last year and the fact that he has upset me quite a few times with his remarks. This hit home with her because we were dealing with the sudden departure of a staff member who he bullied out. I know this fact as the girl spoke to me about it. They still dont know that I know he got an official warning on his record for that. But as soon as that came off his record he was back to his normal horrible self. I sit in team meetings online and just stare straight ahead when he makes his remarks while the big boss pisses himself laughing. The main issue is he is friends with them outside and he thinks that means he can do what he wants.
Overall the situation has gotten worse because of Covid they just sent us home and then forgot about us.
The only way you know what is going on is if you are friends with a director.
Its very them and us, made worse by our new head honcho who only cares about the departments on her floor. In fairness to her she doesnt pretend to give a tit about the rest of us though.
Staff on her floor are given mobile phones and those of us on other floors have a choice of using the app on laptop that is crap or our personal phones. The fact that no one in management see this is bad tells you the culture in there.
Nothing works and you have to find new ways of working around the issues as no one wants to take the responsibilty of fixing anything.
I will be looking for a new role by the end of year and cant wait to wave goodbye to it.
The really bad part is that when I joined I loved it and it was the best job I ever had. They promote people to management who are micromanagers and bullies and just keep hiring when people walk away from it with their nerves tattered.

UPDATE I hate my job
I dread logging on, answering the phone and swimming through tit in my inbox. It’s been YEARS since I applied for jobs I’m a little out of of my depth. Dusting off my CV but thinking of changing careers all together. Curious to know if anyone found it hard to change jobs after so many years in one sector/place or was it easy to transfer your skills and sell yourself on a CV/interview? X
I don't hate my job. I actually really like it. The only thing that's currently annoying me is the salary, its very low for the amount of work and hours i do. I had to negotiate this salary before starting as it was much lower before. I have my probation review next month and I'm going to ask then.
