Similar ideas to The psychology of having a job you hate
It can have a negative impact on your happiness and job performance.
Studies found that ostracism, bad leadership, harassment, and bullying have direct negative effects on job productivity. Also, being in a job you hate is worse for your health than being unemployed.
How does it feel to wake up for a day only to remember you’re headed to the job you hate doing or being in the company of people you don’t like? This can drain your energy and steal the motivation to stay happy and active. If that job doesn’t make you happy, quit and find a job that you love.
It’s not possible to hold onto things forever, and no one was better off by refusing to adapt, to change. People are meant to evolve, constantly.
