How long would you continue going to work unhappy?

My job sucks so bad. It consumes my thoughts. It's stressful, boring, the people suck.
I'm applying elsewhere but I'm quitting before the year is up, whether i have a job lined up or not.

If all else fails, I will dumb down my resume and work at the damn grocery store or something.
I've always wanted to work at one anyway, like when I was younger. I like seeing neat shelves with everything pulled to the front and in their place

I completely understand. I have been with the same company for 7 1/2 years. I started out in inventory, worked my way into hr, then moved to quality.

I write all the documents, proficient in Microsoft, OSHA certified equipment trainer, and know everything about our system. Not to mention perfect attendance until I was hospitalized early this year.

What really done it for me was getting passed over for a promotion to someone that is completely clueless but a full time ass kisser.

I just accepted a new position at work that puts me on night shift and away from all the bs.

Good luck to ya. As I was ready to throw in the towel something good came along

@LilPrincess oh man. That sucks. I wonder about that. Like if i should be more friendly with the supervisor. I see others do it, and like you mentioned, I'm sure they'd be the ones to get ahead. I'd love to do night shift work. To get away from coworkers and the stressful home situation

@iamnikki where I work they are the ones that do. It took me 7 1/2 years of dedication and hard work but it did pay off. I am actually the only one that holds 2 college degrees.

I have applied for other jobs but often get told I am over qualified.

You sound like you are a hard worker. Indeed is a great place to look for employment. I put my resume on it and get calls from headhunters all the time.

@LilPrincess I have heard of folks saying they put their resume on indeed. I've never done that but I think I will. Thanks
