  • Today we're asking Canadians if they hate their jobs, what they do for a living, and if it's possible to hate your job but STILL be generally happy in life. I also ask for advice on what to do if you hate your job and how to find happiness despite your career choice.

      I did last year. I worked in a company that dealt with sneakers, clothes, and everything hype in the resale market.
      There was no work life balance there and I almost always found myself overworked. The people were young and toxic to have around so I quit after giving it a few tries.

    I worked in IT that pays 150k a year, I hated my job because of all the stress. I quit and worked labour jobs that pays 35k a year thinking that repetitive jobs without mental stress would be better. After 2 months I quit and went back to IT. It's better to be stressed at work than being stressed thinking how to pay the bills.

    I do hate my job, but I hated all my jobs I ever had. I'm in my mid 40ies now and realised that I'm just not the person for a job in general. I do have a PhD and I work a well paid corporate job as a scientist, but it drains me and wrecks my life, honestly. My private life fell apart and I stopped dating long time ago due to lack of energy and depression, which is very sad. I'm longing for early retirement, that's my only goal left. Escaping the rat race as soon as possible.

      If you aren't happy, make a plan with & end goal & move yourself out asap from where you are currently. Don't wait to retire unhappy, unfulfilled & alone. Heck, if you need to, cut down on the hours of work or spend time volunteering with compassionate & selfless people for the unfortunate of society...that warms the heart & soul. I've yet to see unhappy people at a soup kitchen, a foodbank, or a boys & girls club. If you're not into that, pick a hobby & learn something new. I so hope I've been motivating enough for you to think outside the box you're living in. It's daring and scary, but it's worth it 💜

    I quit my meaningless 6-figure design job to take care of my mother as she went through chemotherapy and radiation for the second time. As I continued to take care of her, so much hit home for me. I reflected on my life and realized how much corporate was sucking the life out of me. My mental health had been in the gutter for so long, and I was putting everything and everyone else before me. I just got used to chugging along, and accepting maltreatment, and my depression deepened.
    Eight months have now come and gone, and by the grace of God, my mother's condition has stabilized and she is getting continual treatment. She can walk again, and my dad will now be able to take care of her with ease. Now it's time to focus on myself, and hopefully regain interest in what I used to be passionate about. I have made the decision to return to teaching English abroad, as that was the last role that actually made me happy. The year I taught in Shantou, China was, and still is, the happiest year of my life thus far. Making a difference in another child's life is invaluable, and I hope that my time abroad will help me regain the me that I lost 11 years ago.

    In many ways, being "happy" is a luxury that has only existed for last hundred years or so. Depending on how far you want go back, but life was all about survival- you worked in a coal mine or were some laborer who took whatever someone would pay you, usually in horrible work conditions. If you want to go back just a bit further, you were tasked with having enough resources like food, water, shelter- to survive a winter, not worried about being happy. I think "happy" is mostly a state of mind and largely determined by what you focus on, but be grateful you live at a time where you actually the ability to do something about it if you're not. For many of those who lived before us, this was not really possible

      I disagree with the last bit. You should always try to do better than you did last time, whether it's in work or life--this is what makes you grow as a person. I think giving that sort of advice is borderline dangerous and can send someone down the wrong path. People always underestimate their ability, so their "best" is usually not their 100%, and that can make people lazy and complacent. A famous example is if you asked everyone in the room to raise their hand as high as they can, they will do it. Then, ask them to raise it just a bit higher, and they will be able to do it, even though you asked them to raise it as high as they can the first time.

    I really enjoyed this video. I think so many people (especially young people), are stuck in the "I need to save up to buy a house NOW so I will reach that life goal"....meanwhile, they hate their jobs and your job is part of your lifestyle. I would much rather find something I enjoy doing, get a hold of my lifestyle, than focus on buying a house, only to be miserable in that house, and still hate my lifestyle - AND be burdened by the house now, which creates more pressure of having to stay in that job as well.

    Happy is such a transient state. Hate is such a strong word and i don't think anyone should do a job they "hate". There are usually aspects of any job that we don't like, but it's a trade off. They don't pay us to be happy and looking for that "Happy" job can be fruitless. Look for things that you do like and less about what you don't. Doing a job well and to the best of your abilities is rewarding.

      Another way of looking at it is through an employee's perspective. It is important to do something or have a job that you feel happy doing.
      Of course, employers don't pay you to be happy. They pay you to do a job. But obviously, it would be a whole lot better and more fulfilling if they pay you to do a job that you do actually love.

    If money is what you want, then be prepared to be depressed (unless you are passionate about the role/industry and have a desired career path). If you want to be happy then work-life balance is the holy grail (assuming you are able to make use of your free time and not just sit around being bored, which can lead to all kinds of mental health issues. Pick wisely and good luck. Life is never always up....that would be pointless. The duality of pleasure and pain is what is required to appreciate both. Good and bad dont exist without each other...how you play the balance is on you.

    Theres levels to this: If you hate the people you work with you cannot be happy. But if you like them and hate the task at hand you can compromise. People make the party. I think about this alot, even a dream job your going to have bad days thats life. And even a crap job you hate your going to have good days. Relationships with other people is what truly makes people happy thats why you can look back on life and some of your best moments you might not of had alot of money. So much goes into happiness , Spirtual fitness, Relationships with people, Health and finances. Those things only aline in streaks through out life. Enjoy those streaks while they last and thank god for another day.

I transitioned and currently like my job because I started specializing in the industry. I returned to school part-time in the evenings and got a better one during Covid. A large part of my liking my job is the work environment's psychological safety. I learned that I can be good at something and not like it due to a toxic boss.

Because I need constant growth and change and if I don't get it then I get kind of angry and stressed out and lose temper. Then I think the time has come and I find excuses to quit and then I do.

I think work should be a means of getting by but never jeopardise your happiness, sanity or health as they’re far too precious when life passes us by so quickly. As I get older I’ve come to realise I want to wake up each day happy and work needs to contribute to that goal…. Therefore if I don’t like my job I don’t want to waste precious time being unhappy, I stop, reflect and look for something else that serves me and my happiness.

    You can love your job but also not be in love with it every moment of every day. Same as a long term relationship or marriage, it can’t be fireworks all the time. There’s actual work involved and that comes with challenges and compromises and disagreements and stress. If that’s all you’re getting out of it then you for sure have to stop and reevaluate, but setting the expectation that you have to be happy all the time with your job, your partner or your life is just unrealistic and can cause greater unhappiness as a result.
