- I need time to consider the next steps free of the current job
| Friday, Aug 30th 4:42PM |
- Extremely unhappy, feel like my job is meaningless. Way too worn out to do anything fun in my free time.
| Friday, Aug 30th 4:20PM |
- Starting my own business.
| Thursday, Aug 29th 10:22PM |
- 1) I am completely and utterly miserable in my corporate marketing job – big reason!
2) My boyfriend and I have talked about it and can make it work. I will take some time off, head out west to visit some places where I could see us relocating when he finishes dermatology residency. He can’t wait to move! I’m more hesitant and this is a great time in my life to take some time away from the corporate grind and look to our future.
3) I am a miser and have saved every penny for several years. AKA I have a healthy savings – and my boyfriend will cover our rent while I am “in transition”.
4) I also have considered and have begun seeking out temp/short term contract marketing assignments. Just to keep my toe in the professional water – and, oh yeah, some money coming in!
5) Did I mention how unhappy, unchallenged and unfulfilled I am in my current career?!? Yeah, that.
| Thursday, Aug 29th 9:22PM |
- Awful
Just need to get out, risk the 2 weeks notice to find something else
| Thursday, Aug 29th 8:41PM |
- It is a dead end job.
I hate my boss and my co-worker.
I’m underpaid, because of the bad financial situation of the company. Buy it was worse than now when I came here, and I’ve been working hard and helping to improve. I feel like I’m subsidizin the company with my effort because I’m not paid fairly. And I’m young, free and ready for roaming the world looking for a better opportunity. (It would be hard to find something worse than my current job).
My boss smokes in the offices – he is rude and dirty.
The company’s organization is a mess.
I’m sure that is not the job I want for my future life. Only thinking in being in the same job in 5 years from now and I think in suicide.
| Thursday, Aug 29th 6:59PM |
- My boss is unorganized jerk he can’t pay us on time
| Wednesday, Aug 28th 9:06PM |
- Major depression. Can’t imagine going another day doing what I’m doing and where I’m doing it. Burnt out. On the verge of a breakdown. Career providing zero satisfaction and not utilizing my talents and interests. I’m dead here
| Wednesday, Aug 28th 3:58PM |
- To spend more time with my boys. To get away from my awful negative unfulfilling job.
| Tuesday, Aug 27th 11:57PM |
| Tuesday, Aug 27th 1:04PM |
- I cannot stand my supervisor and the people I work with with very few exceptions. I feel what I do is absolutely meaningless and that I am on a never ending treadmill
| Tuesday, Aug 27th 10:29AM |
- This is not what I was looking for; the learning and what I have in mind are totally different and currently Im in this job as it pays and I still have something to do each day showing up here. I am not inspired; Im not learning and I’m under performing. Its just a sad place to be each day.
| Tuesday, Aug 27th 7:36AM |
- I am mentally and physically stressed and my job is the reason. I have gained 40 pounds since working there. I dread going to work everyday and get anxiety the day before I go to work after an off day. I no longer enjoy my job and am not comfortable there.
| Tuesday, Aug 27th 12:05AM |
| Monday, Aug 26th 11:17PM |
- Morale has really been down. That plus my boss has really been difficult to work with. It’s sucking the life out of me and people see that I’ve changed, that I’m a lot less joyful.
| Sunday, Aug 25th 9:19PM |
- Im not happy i dont sleep anymore im angry a lot and all i think about is leaving the job im in. It affects my relationships and i feel out of place doing what I do.
| Saturday, Aug 24th 11:43PM |
- It’s going no where there’s no development no recognition for my work my boss is sexist and a bully
| Saturday, Aug 24th 5:26PM |
| Saturday, Aug 24th 8:45AM |
- Low pay
Stressful
Unfulfilling
Bad company culture
Lack of resources
Ambiguous schedule
Aren’t learning any skills
My job requires lying
| Friday, Aug 23rd 9:20PM |
| Friday, Aug 23rd 1:02PM |
- My company is not delivering the compensation promised even after talks and showing them legal regulations that they were breaking.
- My client has the mentality of “Persist and Persevere” and has no desire to perform quality work.
- My clients client does not know what they are managing or what they want. The tasks switch daily and they refuse to listen or understand the product they are asking to be delivered yet continually complain about the result.
- I have not had a successful project since starting and have rebuilt projects multiple times to meet the clients needs that they themselves then declare are useless.
- I don’t like my current industry and want to work on a project for the greater good of society.
| Thursday, Aug 22nd 11:03PM |
- It has nothing to do with anything I am passionate about. It limits my skills. It has no growth potential. I hate it everyday. It is repetive. I can continue this list forever.
| Thursday, Aug 22nd 10:52PM |
- I would like to start my own business. If I don’t quit without another job I know I won’t be able to devote 100%.
| Thursday, Aug 22nd 9:10PM |
- Because I feel miserable every morning and every minute I spend in this office. Because I don’t believe in their corporate values, because I am constantly loaded with a huge amount of stress, because I am not listened to, because I am being lectured and patronised every day about how I shouldn’t get so stressed, my boss is making feel as if is only my fault that I take things so personally (may it is but this is the way I am). Because i can’t give a shit about what I am doing I am not passionate about it in the slightest and that is whay also I get so stressed about it probably. Because I can’t switch off properly when I am leaving the office, because when I come back from holidays an overwhelming feeling of anguish is pervading me, because I fell like I am wasting my time
| Thursday, Aug 22nd 8:06AM |
- I wake up every day and wonder if this is all there is. I don’t believe I am doing the public any good. My company is purely driven by profit and I am not that type of person. I truly want to do something to better the world. My boss, though not a terrible person, byes into the corporate jargon. I care about people and all I do is determine who to cut. It is truly depressing.
| Wednesday, Aug 21st 10:39PM |
- I take 400 out of savings each month to cover what my pay check doesn’t.
My job has no future.
My house needs repairs and I have the material.
My house is too small for my family.
I’m a veteran and I have a degree.
I make 15.00/hr
| Wednesday, Aug 21st 10:17PM |
- Having the time and motivation to work on side. Everyday it’s a drag to go in and boss doesn’t appreciate my work.
| Wednesday, Aug 21st 9:22PM |
- Difficult working relationship with my boss and I’m under appreciated.
| Wednesday, Aug 21st 6:53PM |
- Difficult working relationship with my boss and I’m under appreciated.
| Wednesday, Aug 21st 6:53PM |
- Feel empty. Work seems meaningless and see no real future; at least, not a future that looks particularly appealing. I’m there solely for the paycheck.
| Wednesday, Aug 21st 2:55PM |
- I am in anew job. And something is disturbing me. I am not getting sleep :-(. I am very confused on if I want to continue this and then for how long. I want a change in my career path. But not sure how I go about that :-).
| Wednesday, Aug 21st 1:50PM |
- I have been in finance for 17 years and it has gone completely stale for me. I can’t stand sitting in front of a computer playing with Excel spreadsheets all day anymore. Every morning I’m sick to my stomach when I wake up and find it almost painful to do my tasks at work. I realize now that the business world is not for me.
| Wednesday, Aug 21st 1:22PM |
- Stress is making me physically ill. Its is harming my personal relationships and causing my life to stagnate as I feel to paralyzed to make any important decisions in my life.
| Wednesday, Aug 21st 12:49PM |
- Issues with the manager; really tired of the negative environment around, no thanks to my peers. Strong feeling of not getting where I need to
| Tuesday, Aug 20th 4:06PM |
- I hate my job, I don’t get to do what I thought I would be doing, it feels like the role is moving me backwards in my career
| Tuesday, Aug 20th 3:37PM |
- Everyday is a struggle. I cry and get anxiety thinking about coming in. I hate my boss and the work I do. It has all stress and no reward. I love working with people but not in this way.
| Tuesday, Aug 20th 11:03AM |
- I’ve reached the point where Sunday’s are basically a count down to Monday mornings. I’m having anxiety and depressed about my job. I just can’t take it anymore.
| Monday, Aug 19th 4:34PM |
- It makes me feel really depressed because I feel like I’m helping screwing people out of money. I also do not like any one I work with and feel that I can do a lot better in life than working there. It’s not where I want to be and not a field I would want to advance in.
| Monday, Aug 19th 3:44PM |
- I have not been happy in my job for a long time but just did not have the money to quit. Every year at the end of the year I start to get that dreaded feeling I start having anxiety attacks when our busy time comes, but I have somehow muddled through. Always afraid of the decision and not having the money. My brother passed away recently and my way of thinking has changed and life is just to short to be skating by in a job that I don’t like. I am burned out I am tired of people yelling at me. I am tired of coming home completely exhausted and I want to do sleep. I am tired of being unhappy. Now that the financial issue is no longer an issue and I have the money to cover my bills I feel I can now do this.
| Sunday, Aug 18th 11:17AM |
| Sunday, Aug 18th 6:30AM |
- Not professionally happy and feel undervalued in current role. Job no longer motivates me to work hard and contribute 100%. I also feel burnt out after 15 years of working at high speed and high demand environments. I have a decent bit of money saved up (enough for at least 4-6 months) and feel confident that I can tap my network for consulting opportunities to feel the gap in lomg term employment.
| Sunday, Aug 18th 12:27AM |
- My boss drives me crazy.
I cannot rely on anything she says.
I cannot rely on hours or a paycheck.
I have to be available 14 hours a day.
I am never consulted about changes made to my schedule.
| Saturday, Aug 17th 10:17PM |
- I’m over this one
I’ve been there for two years
It’s not in the field I want to end up in
I can budget for a while and live ok
| Saturday, Aug 17th 9:30PM |
- I strongly believe in not doing something you don’t enjoy or are not interested in at all. I want to start my own business and can’t because of my shitty job. I just want freedom.
| Saturday, Aug 17th 3:02PM |
- I feel that my potential is being wasted and i am being relegated to a clerical job. In short, i am not satisfied with the job content and on top of it I am not clear of my future path.
| Saturday, Aug 17th 9:37AM |
- because something in me is going to break so badly i wont be able to pull back up from it
| Saturday, Aug 17th 6:51AM |
| Friday, Aug 16th 11:47AM |
- My job is absoolute misery. I’m working in a field I don’t want to be in, with colleagues I don’t want to associate with & with a consdescending, joke of a manager. I want the freedom to pursue my interests with a focus on landing my dream career. I want to work for it as much as I want it to work for me.
| Friday, Aug 16th 1:10AM |
| Wednesday, Aug 14th 2:41PM |
- I am stagnate. My current job no longer aligns with the steps I need to take to fulfill my goals and pursue life and happness, other than to pay my monthly bills. These bills are relatively small, as is my income. Most other jobs would fulfill this need. I have a long commute and work full time. I require to work+commute less hours to free up time for educational, business, and self improving pursuits; or find a job of any time commitment that aligns with these goals. Preferably, both. Alternatively, I may be able to structure a lifestyle where I educate myself and pursue my own business, without ‘working’ at all. Also know that I dislike my inconsistent commute, I may be fired any time anyway, my superiors are not competent, and I do not enjoy my repetitive job duties. I am not positively challenged in my job, and my job is a large percentage of my life, therefore I am living ‘comfortably’ but hardly living at all.
| Wednesday, Aug 14th 2:18PM |
- Health reasons. Feeling trapped. Very unhappy. Just blew a chance at a job transfer.
| Tuesday, Aug 13th 7:48PM |
- The volume of work is too high for one person therefore i do not have time to cross-train or learn other responsibilities. I’m not learning anything new and I’m sick and tired of doing the same crappy load of work day after day. I just can’t do it anymore.
| Tuesday, Aug 13th 7:00PM |
| Tuesday, Aug 13th 6:38PM |
- I’m 23 and I feel as though I’m stuck in a dead-end job that has an amazing bonus structure but isn’t in any field that I’m remotely interested in. I have to have this job in order to pay down my overdraft but I intensely dislike the people I work with, I constantly feel patronised by my trainers and I feel that there should be more to my post-university life than this.
| Tuesday, Aug 13th 3:16PM |
- Driving all over the state “trying” to see doctors whom I cannot see. Educational resources, that aren’t educational at all! Bored. Cannot call on hospitals, but that’s where we should be. Keep getting told, “change is coming.” Tired of having to deal with co-workers on the western side of the state who break compliance rules all the time and have asked me to do the same. Completely, undeniably, unethical!!
| Tuesday, Aug 13th 1:47PM |
- Stress, find peace, figure out my passion, put my family and friends first
| Tuesday, Aug 13th 1:32AM |
- I am depressed every day when I go to work. None of the tasks are challenging or interesting anymore. I do not feel my talents are used. The beaurocracy at a company this size impedes a lot of productivity. I can only bring myself to work maybe 1-2 hours per day, while spending the rest of my time job-hunting. I’m almost completely checked out. When I think of my commute (30 minutes – 1 hr, each way), I cringe. Nothing makes that time go by faster. If I see my boyfriend after work, I’m short and clearly unhappy. He and I have both noticed that when I have an interview or other promising job prospect, my mood heightens markedly.
| Monday, Aug 12th 4:55PM |
- I’m not respected, this company isn’t my passion, i don’t like marketing, i just want to paint and create things
| Monday, Aug 12th 4:24PM |
- Because I want to do what I am passionate about. My job is just a means of income which gives me no fulfillment, nor uses my gifts and talents. I want to offer programs in the community, open a business and write more books.
| Monday, Aug 12th 3:36PM |
- because I need to focus on my and my education. I have spent a lot of time giving to work, training, picking up shifts, volunteering without receiving anything in return. It is time for me to focus on me and what I need.
| Monday, Aug 12th 12:48PM |
- I’m not happy. It’s no longer satisfying or meaningful. Not feeling challenged. It’s discouraging and frustrating. I feel stuck. There are no more good days. I wonder what difference I’m making to those I’m supposedly helping and also it’s not making any good of a difference in my life. I am no longer challenged or feel there is any growth from this job.
| Monday, Aug 12th 10:45AM |
- I am really depressed with my IT job.I feel really stressed everyday to go to job.I am in a position do or die state, if I dont perform well I would be fired.Better I would take a good decision to leave my job without having one lined up.This decision is mainly due to retain my self respect.
| Monday, Aug 12th 4:01AM |
- MY BOSS AND HIS BROTHER ARE MICROMANAGING ASSHOLES THAT BELITTLE PUBLICLY HUMILIATE AND VERBALLY ABUSE THEIR EMPLOYEES
| Sunday, Aug 11th 3:30PM |
- I hate coming in every day, the people i work with are frustrated with the policies and low pay and half the time everyone is sighing and complaining. I had to reduce the amount of taxes taken out of my paycheck just to survive, and almost got fired for my lateness. I just don’t want to be there. I get an ache in the pit of my stomach thinking about going back after a peaceful two week vacation, helping customers and servicing others in retail is not a good fit for me, I need to be able to have downtime by myself to recharge, and all this job does is drain my energy. I am willing to take out money of my ira in order to survive for a few months in order to find a new job, hopefully transform my job into a career. I need some peace, and my intuition tells me to quit. I just landed a part time job with some earning potential, and I could focus on that and also finding a temp job during the day or landing interviews for a new one. The only thing I am worried about is insurance coverage.
| Friday, Aug 9th 3:01PM |
| Friday, Aug 9th 1:33PM |
- I am working in a career field that is not related to my degrees I have obtained. Was my first job out of college promising growth opportunities but the fields I want to work in have no growth so they have no available positions in the 5-6 years I’ve been here. I have gone back to school while working and need to take the leap to the career that makes me happy now that I’m done with my formal education. There is no job satisfaction where I work and even my supervisor doesn’t like the job. The plus is great benefits and a steady pay check. Fear has been holding me back. I tried quitting in January of 2013 and HR talked me out of it because I didn’t have another job lined up. It has been difficult to find a job in the field I want to be in while working because I have not had the time to build my creative portfolio and am drained of energy after work and the 1 hour to 1.5 hour commute home.
| Friday, Aug 9th 10:41AM |
- Tons of work that is assigned on me. Too much expectation on me. I have been supporting all departments in our company. I am supporting external and internal customers. But nobody is supporting me on my own task.
| Friday, Aug 9th 9:50AM |
- I hate going to work every day. I’ve become an awful, unhappy, rude, demotivated person that I don’t even like. I want to enjoy my life again without feeling sick all day every day.
| Friday, Aug 9th 8:18AM |
- I want to start my business – the one that will make a real difference. In fact, it will be helping other people quit *their* jobs by starting a business. I’m a marketing expert, my jobs/clients have always been startups and people launching businesses without me even realizing – its what I’m meant to do. I just need to embrace it.
| Thursday, Aug 8th 7:26PM |
- To experience freedom and to have the time to explore things that can
| Thursday, Aug 8th 10:02AM |
- I’m feeling burnout, having to juggle my full time job and being a voice coach on weeknights and weekends to earn some extra income and keeping the passion of teaching going, and trying to spend remaining time I have with my sons and partner. It’s taking a toll on my health now. I’m also at the point where I don’t enjoy my work anymore. I want to quit my full time job and teach singing full time, so I can have time flexibility and the possibility to create wealth according to how hard and smart I work.
| Wednesday, Aug 7th 10:28AM |
- Because I know that I certainly dont wish to do what i am currently doing. It feels very dry.
| Wednesday, Aug 7th 10:16AM |
- It’s a dead end job and not learning anything anymore. getting fed up with the work and feels like im getting depressed everyday i go into work. Managers/senior managers are useless and don’t care about your career. To them its all about metrics and nothing else.
| Tuesday, Aug 6th 5:23PM |
| Tuesday, Aug 6th 1:28PM |
- I work in sales for a great company with great people and had hoped to have a long association with them. For over a year, I was the entire marketing team because there was no-one else in the roles of marketing, sales & events and despite the burden of it all, I did a good job. I have worked long, hard hours, given 100% loyalty, continuously learn and have achieved well. A couple of months ago, they employed a new marketing manager who is a nice person but wants me to be his secretary and has taken away every aspect of sales from me and replaced it with mind-numbing admin ie typing up hundreds of lists – nothing else, just that. He micro-manages everything I do like I’m an imbecile and blatantly times me when I use the Ladies room – basically does everything in his power to make my working life as miserable as possible. I tried talking to him about this several times and even approached others higher up, no-one is interested.
Promises that were made to me by the CEO about my future career have been broken. I’ve tried to make the best of it and tried to ‘manage’ my career but the situation is getting worse. I am constantly stressed and unhappy and for weeks have been actively looking for another job.
| Tuesday, Aug 6th 11:21AM |
| Tuesday, Aug 6th 6:18AM |
- I am not suited for the role. The constant criticism has created lack of confidence and I feel it dipping everyday. I don’t like my boss even though I think he has done as much if not more for me to help me. Hard to find time to interview with other companies. The constant stress and hatred towards what i do is affecting my personal relationship. I have been a horrible girlfriend constantly whining and complaining
| Tuesday, Aug 6th 5:47AM |
- Because i am MISERABLE. Suffering with depression. Scattered brained , young , lost , damaged , lonely , no goals , a fucking loser
| Monday, Aug 5th 10:51PM |
- Because the job makes my soul shrivel into a tiny, angry, bitter little ball of cynicism, which is negatively affecting the rest of my life. It is a very unhealthy environment and a terrible way to spend so much of my time.
| Monday, Aug 5th 8:58PM |
- My co workers sibgle me out. I feel like in stuck and going nowhere in life with this job.
| Monday, Aug 5th 8:48PM |
| Monday, Aug 5th 8:39PM |
- I need a break to determine where my career will go next.
| Monday, Aug 5th 6:47PM |

| Monday, Aug 5th 1:22AM |
| Sunday, Aug 4th 11:04PM |
- I’m stressed out
Job is not interesting to me
I don’t like the boss
I’m not using my best talents
Have feeling this is not what I was meant to do
Not following my passions
| Sunday, Aug 4th 2:20PM |
- I’m looking for better opportunity matching my Engineering background. In current job, I can’t excel the way I want to.
| Sunday, Aug 4th 7:56AM |
- It’s affecting my family in a negative way.
| Saturday, Aug 3rd 10:33AM |
- There is nothing in this job that I look forward to, neither the work nor the colleagues or the environment, there is nothing inspiring in it.
| Saturday, Aug 3rd 1:02AM |
- i hate it. there is no opportunity for advancement. i get no support from the owners. feel like i am constantly stressed over what needs to be done and no one else cares.
| Friday, Aug 2nd 10:05PM |
- Don’t like the way things are ran, the job tile is unclear.
| Friday, Aug 2nd 8:17PM |
- Hostile environment, no chance to affect positive change.
