8 things to do when you hate your job but cannot quit

8 things to do when you hate your job but cannot quit

1. Find out what is it that you really hate about your job

Let's say you don't like the profile you've been handed or you believe your boss is out to get you. Set up a meeting with your boss and understand why you've been handed the job you're doing -- remember, there are always two sides to the coin -- and explain to him just how you can contribute better to the organisation.
More importantly, don't expect a change immediately.

2. Look for the positives

For instance, your colleagues with whom you spend the maximum amount of time, might be a particularly jolly lot. Instead of moping about how horrible your job is, learn to enjoy the pleasure of your colleagues' company. As in life, focus on the positives.

3. Don't let your employer chose your career path

Remember, your employer has retained you because they feel you will contribute something fruitful to the company. And you should! But don't let your employer decide what you should be doing with your career. The path of you and your company may be different and it is ok. Give in to some of your employers' demands -- remember they are paying you -- but also keep some of your own wishes about what you want to be seen doing non-negotiable. Else, you will find yourself drifting along a path that might work for someone else but not you.

4. Volunteer

Just because you're stuck in a job you don't like doesn't mean you need to give up all hopes. Make the most of the time in the organisation. If there are projects that are of interest to you, volunteer to be part of them.
Show you are interested in going beyond your current role. This will help you justify your stay in the organisation at your next job interview. It might also help you get that promotion you were eyeing.

5. Know that quitting cannot solve your problems

Quitting your job in the hope that the next one will be better is the silliest reason to put in your papers. A successful career, like a successful relationship, requires work. So chip at it; work on making your job as enjoyable as possible.

6. Take a few days off

Being in an unfulfilling job can be pretty distressing. But it also comes with its perks -- leaves and vacations! Take a few days off every few weeks; go on a vacation whenever you can afford it; ensure you get your 'me-time' on the weekends.

7. Take up a hobby

Talking of me-time, pursue a hobby -- learn the guitar, a new language, hit the gym, take up a new sport… anything that will keep your mind away from the job you hate so much.

8. Keep looking

If you've reached this far, evidently your heart isn't in your job. So, here's the final piece of advice -- don't stop looking for new opportunities. Put your CV out there; let the relevant people know you are looking for a change. A new job may not necessarily come along as quickly as you hope to but it will. So don't lose heart! Keep looking.
