Why Do You Stay at a Job You Hate?
Hating your job is you denying you need to consider serious changes in your career
The phone pings at 7:00 a.m., you roll over, pull up the blanket and begin your daily ritual of hating your job.
Your personal experience has proven you can lay in bed five minutes after the first ping, Uber to work, and walk in the door exactly one minute before anyone is looking for you.
You finally roll out of bed, hit the shower and find yourself leaning face against the wall with hot water running down your neck for an extra ten minutes stalling the inevitable day at work.
Unless you have a shower buddy in there with you, this is the day you might consider quitting whatever you call work, or career, because you are no longer going to be any good at what you’re doing for a living.
That hangtime in the shower was where you officially crossed the invisible line dividing where you went from giving a damn about what you do for a living, to the “just trying to get through another day” stage of life.
You are also wasting a day of your life, destined to be repeated, for as long as you continue to let yourself shower in misery, eventually resulting in the loss of the most important asset you own…your life.
