Hi Everyone!
After recently starting a new temp job at a company in Black River Park, I came across plenty of people who displayed their utter hatred towards their job. I suppose that it was for this reason that I decided to write this post and ask the seemingly obvious question: why do people stay in jobs they hate? .
Note that the following points are not based on scientific research or facts but rather my own observations in the work place.
1. Financial constraints
We live in a economy where everything is expensive. Hence,people can't 'afford' to chop and change jobs as they please. Even if they really want to, plenty of things need to be re-adjusted in their life, like kids, work, and social life.If the job that YOU are currently in pays for these obligations, you become more than happy to stay in it even though they hate it.
2.Too Comfortable
As mentioned before, if the job pays for ones debts and obligations one is more than happy to stay in the job. In other words people become comfortable in doing what they do. They say things like, 'i love what i do' when they really DO NOT.They are stuck in their job because perhaps its easier than doing something else. In essence, people are afraid to take the leap of fate. They become so fearful to try out something new even if it means that they will be happier.
3. Losing sight of your dream
Remember that dream that you had in high school? the one where you wanted to be a famous soap opera star? and now you stuck in a office working for a grumpy boss? Yes, you have loss sight of your dream and where you want to be in life, you have lost direction and allowed yourself, once again, to be comfortable.
These are just three of the main reasons that I have managed to detect from people in the work place.
What do you think are some of the reasons people stay in jobs they hate?
Thank you for reading
