Is it normal to leave job when you don't like it or your co-workers?

16 Comments

this job gives me a salary and i've been working for 6 months only. I hate my job and want to leave it. people there are bad they backstab you, pull you down, lie, make their points in front of the boss. I hate those people more than the job.

I do not want this point in my resume that I left after 7 months or so.

Am stressed, its taking a toll on my health.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    You don’t have to keep every job for years.

      Unless you want to make stable money and go up the ladder you do.

    Perhaps it's normal, it's certainly normal to want to leave for the reasons you have listed above.

    Stick it out for a year. Then leave.

    To me once it starts affecting my health I’m gone. That’s why I left my old job. And all you have to do is say why you left. It was affecting your health. You hated the people you worked with. That’s how I have the job I do now.

        Learn to follow instructions. If you can't defend yourself when blamed for something, it means you're the one who screwed up.

        That's the kind of workplace where doing everything and bootlicking will give you an edge.

    Whats wrong with getting another job? But I get what you mean. To many short time jobs on ya resume wouldn't look good.

    I had this problem when I was younger. Would mow lawns and then when it was season would pick grapes, then mow lawns, then pick something else, then mow lawns... bla bla bla then at the opposite season pick citrus. Normally I would just leave it as always doing landscaping, but truth was when I started seasonal work I wouldn't do anything else, to buggered.

    Those are the best places to work. Backstabbing politics and dirty little secrets. the mundane work is nothing more than an entree that the people and the experiences that spice it up.

      spice is good, but when people simply deny in front of you abt the discussion that they had (in front of you) abt something, which might have helped you keep your point, is bad. I cannot trust them. or anyone for that matter.

        Maybe it's my own sick form of gratification but I feel like if you climbed the ladder in that kind of environment the payoff would be far greater satisfaction wise.
