Discouraged and Feeling in a slump

klmcguire · July 2013

Ya'll I feel so lost... I have been at my job now for 2 years, and I have HATED it for 1.5 years lol! I have been applying for jobs since I found out I was pregnant which was 6 months after beginning work here. I put a halt on job searching because no one wants to hire a pregnant lady. The day after I had Landen I started applying again... I HAVE HAD 1 INTERVIEW. Out of 10 months of applying 1 interview... I am so discouraged, I hate my job, I feel like I do not know what I want to do with my life, I miss my kid and did I say I HATE MY JOB!

I feel like I just need to scream it somewhere and my husband already has so much stress on him he does not need to be bothered with a whiny wife! Thanks for listening Big Smile

Now for happier thoughts!

Hugs. I can relate. I've been feeling very stuck at my job for a while now. I like what I do, but I'm not sure if I like the company I work for anymore. I'm up for a review and I've asked for a new title and more responsibilities. I'm supposed to hear something bu next week, but if I don't get what I'm looking for, I'll be getting serious about a new job search, which is also very frustrating.

I hope things get better and you find something new soon.

I don't have any advice, but hugs! That sounds very frustrating and I know how much hating your job can wear you down.

Good luck to you! My review is up next week also! I will get a 4% raise, but that is not very significant! I would not be so worried, but my boss is getting ready to leave and has offered to help me find a new job because even he thinks I am better than this place!

Stuck... that is a good word for how I feel!

That sounds very frustrating. I really hope something changes for you soon!

I can relate. I went from one location I didn't like to another. I have to wait until I've been at the current place for 6 months before I put in for another transfer. Ughhh

It took me a few minutes to read your post because I kept getting distracted by your gif. Stick out tongue

I'm sorry you are frustrated. I hope you find something soon. Job market isn't great these days. It will work out. HUGS.

I feel ya, girlfriend. I've put in for almost every possible position I'm applicable for within our system and I haven't been called once. Everything is either filled by someone with higher seniority, cancelled, or given to someone that knows the boss of that department. It sucks. I've applied for at least 20+ jobs and I got one call back, for a position I couldn't take because it was full-time and during the day.

I hate my job too.

But, I love Channing. Mmmmm, the Channing.

FX that something better comes along soon!

hahaha! For real! I was like "Oh wait, there are words here too..."

I feel you girl. I don't hate my job. I actually like it, but I am not happy with my boss. She is not the one who hired me. I've been here 5.5 years and she started here about a year and a half ago. Our personalities just clash and she doesn't trust anyone. Nothing is ever right for her. She's also do as i say and not as I do. So she wants stuff from me right away, but I dont get it back for a few days... I'm talking simple journal entries (I do accounting). I just grin and bear it because the job and company is great. I also pray that God can take her somewhere else, lol!

Hahaha! I really thought this was going to say because of my bad grammar. Sorry for you English majors, bump mobile and my typing skills do not mix well.

For the other posts. My boss is giving me as many leads as possible, but he is not from around here so he knows so little people. I know EVERYONE in this town, but I do not like asking for help. I feel a little better this afternoon because I got to work on Sweet Hughitt's invitation and then a chalkboard design for Griffin Much better afternoon! I just wish Etsy shops paid close to what I make now haha!
