I'm really struggling to keep my sanity at the job I'm currently at and although I'm looking for another one at the moment, I'm not having any luck. So, what are things you all do to keep yourself going at a job you can't stand?

I just quit. I've had jobs that made me so miserable I would throw up every morning before going to work. I decided it was just not worth it and I quit. I always had enough savings to see me through to the next job, though.

Sorry you are going through this. Maybe if you just keep your head down and pay attention to nothing other than the actual work you are doing, you can get through it.

No use trying, just keep looking for something better and be glad you have a paycheck in the meanwhile.

See the positives in every situation (at least you have a job), and look for another.

Keep reminding yourself it is just temporary, as you will find a better job, and do a superb job where you are now. Not to be nice, but to raise the expectation in your boss' boss mind that what you are accomplishing should be what is expected.

Keep to yourself, do your job and out. Now if you choose to talk to others keep that circle very small and don't tell people personal buisness, just stay away from the gossip crowd. And definitely stay away from people that always talking negative.

Get a hobby and also try to advance your skills....that will help you find a better paying job.


Good luck and I feel for you.
