Jobs and people have a love and hate relationship. You need them to earn your bread and live a respectable life, but at the same time, they can be your biggest enemies. Stress, lack of time for pursuing your passion<\/a><\/span>, draconian office rules etc. can often make people hate their jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"hate-my-job\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

While the reason to hate a job is highly subjective, there are some common triggers or patterns that establish some of the most common ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

On a thread<\/a><\/span> on social opinion website Reddit, people were asked why they hated their jobs, and these were the top reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Downgraded to a job needing lower skills than the employee possesses.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“I have 6 years of experience in development. They have assigned me to a tier 2 support project.\u00a0Managers act like class monitors. They are asking me to stay late in office and come on weekends. Guy I\u00a0had replaced had absconded after 15 days. Other team member is in notice period. He had resigned after 2 months but company wants him to serve whole 3 month notice period.\u00a0HR had threatened other guy in notice to complete work or they won’t give salary and relieving certificate.”<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Existence of sexism to curry favours with the higher ups.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“I work in a famous company in IT. I am fed up with women doing sexual favours to managers to get their promotions and visas. My jaw dropped to floor when a girl who can’t even operate a photocopier got her visa and was sent to the US, just for being managers’ pet.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Personal conscience conflicting with the needs of the job.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m a doctor. I run the casualty department during the nights at the hospital in a small town.\u00a0The job right now is pretty monotonous. It isn’t satisfying at all.\u00a0Also, my salary kind of depends on how much money I can make the hospital, so a lot of times I admit patients and write in a shitload of tests for small ailments. That doesn’t feel good to do it because most of our patients are poor and uneducated. “<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

4. Non-payment and taking freelancers for granted.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“…some of the employers\u00a0think that freelancers are “free labourers” instead, so they’ll agree to the terms like “yeah whatever” and then extracting cash from them after the job has been completed is like squeezing blood from a stone. The fact that legal proceedings against them go nowhere just adds to it.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

5. Corporatization in a startup.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"corporate<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

“[The founders] are not very experienced and are extremely judgemental. They hire people saying they want creative minds and then expect them to work as a factory machine spewing “creative” and “out of the box” ideas every 5 mins.\u00a0Saturdays are working and Sundays are spent in fretting going to work on a Monday. People are getting so demotivated around me that sometimes I feel like going to my bosses and asking them, they used to be such bright and energetic minds, and look what you did to them.\u00a0The corporatization of creativity is the worst thing that can happen to an artist.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Being a modern day slave in the IT sector.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“… I was was a developer for many years, and [now I work] in product. The problem with being a dev is you’re basically someone’s bitch (sic) Basically, everything Michael O’ Church said is 100% true. If you’re a dev and you don’t know who he is, look him up and read everything he writes. Guy is spot on.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

7. Lack of a fun work culture and perks.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"bored<\/span><\/p>\n

“I like my work per se, but it’s the company culture that sucks. It’s a 6yr old startup and a well-funded one at that, but it couldn’t be more different from your idea of a “bright, colourful, fun startup with booze parties every weekend”. The founders couldn’t care less about building a culture. The office is as bland as it gets, there’s not even a fucking microwave, leave alone any other perks or facilities. There’re no team bonding activities, trips\u00a0or parties, and everyone just comes to work, does their thing and goes home. All of this leaves me so dissatisfied despite being in a well paid job. “<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Unfavourable working environment, long working hours.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“I work at a software company and have a 6 day working week, no unpaid leaves for first year, minimal increments irrespective of work done, no flexi-timing, no overtime pay, HR warning emails every time you are more than 15 mins late, 3 times in row you get a half day [‘s leave) deducted, but even then are expected to work overtime, if needed!”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Draconian and old-fashioned office rules that kill productivity<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Yes<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

“I’ve been to (and heard of places from other artists) where the following were actual rules that were implemented in studios after a change in management (which ultimately led to constant turnover and so-called studios shutting down a few months later):<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
