I Hate The Business I Am In
In order to be clear about the optimal path forward for you it is really important to understand what might be the key problem/challenge facing you. If you have not already done so, answer the following questions:
1. What makes you say this? Are you unhappy with everything or something in particular? Everything (skip to 2), Something in particular (skip to 4)
2. How long have you felt this way?
3. How long have you felt this strongly about the business you are in? When did unhappiness or discontentedness become true dislike for the business?
4. If you can identify specific parts of the business that frustrate you, have you tried actively to improve your situation? Have you attempted to adjust your current role/do something about the particular part of your work that makes you so unhappy whilst emphasizing aspects that you enjoy?
5. Do others understand/sympathize with the way that you feel or is it just you?
6. If others feel the same way, do these peers work in the same role/department of the company? Yes (skip to 7) No (skip to 9)
7. Do you know why your peers hate their jobs?
8. Do you know of anyone that hated their job but after taking some action subsequently felt better about matters? If so, have you talked with them?
9. Might it be the company that you and your colleagues are unhappy with and not necessarily the industry? If others feel the same way as you but work in different parts of the business, might the issue be broader or companywide?
