If you have a job that makes great money: HATE IT

If you didn't sell your soul and took a low pay job that interests you: LOVE IT

If you have a redundant job to pay bills and pays crap: PRAY THAT HEAVEN EXISTS

I work from a home office 5 days a week and I'm extremely well paid. I can take breaks when I want and have a home cooked lunch each day. Bottom line: I love my job!

Everything about it is perfect, except they don't care about their employees and we may as well get coupons for annual bonuses & raises.

The actual work that I do - I couldn't ask for better. The freedom (work from home everyday & no micromanagement) - I couldn't ask for better. Just give us a small % of the multi-billion dollar revenue mayhaps. Nothing says F U like saying "we can't afford to pay you more this year" yet you know how much more they make every damn quarter.

I'm beyond miserable but need the money, so I can't quit.

This is me as well.

I dislike what I'm doing right now, but I don't necessarily hate my job. I originally started in this type of job, finally got out and then after a couple months, they asked me to do a temporary bit of work back in my old position... and now I remember why I hated it so much. It's not just the task itself... there's also some annoyances with the stuff that make it really agitating.

Thank god after about 3 months, there's talk of me going back and my sanity will once again return. I've been miserable and more and more depressed the last couple months =\.

JeeZus...if you HATE your jobs, get off your asses and find NEW ones.

You certainly don't have to LOVE your job, after all, it should be the vehicle that allows you to live a comfortable lifestyle, NOT your life, but anytime you HATE your job, it affects your life in many, many ways.
Odds are, if you hate that job, you aren't very good at it, or not as good as you'd be if you enjoyed it.
Most of the time, people who hate their jobs, are also unhappy after work too, since the stresses of a hated job don't stop at the door.
Hating a job can cause health issues as you get older,
It can cause "relationship problems" with your gf/bf/significant other, parents, etc.

Fuck that...life's too short to put up with a shitty job that you absolutely HATE for any longer than you have to.

I don't hate my job, but I don't love it either. It's tolerable, and easy to work around class.

peaks and valleys. It depends on the job assignment or assignments at the time. I've gone from best time ever to sucks so many times I am dizzy.
