10 Signs You're At The Wrong Job 

when people ask me about my job when i'm out and about, i tell them, "i'd rather not talk about unpleasant things during my free time."

I quite my job Monday and I've actually smiled for the first time in months.

When physically you can't do anything after work because your body feels like it's been tramatized from the hard labor. You can barely get in the car to go home.

anyone who hate their job this much should definitely quit. and find a true passion that would help them make money OMG

All 10 apply to me. I'm actually getting suicidal over my job

When I worked at a call center I experienced some of these. I was depressed on sunday, I didn't have good performence, I had little desire to learn new things and I wished I had the janitors job. I'm an operations processor at a bank now and I love it so much more.

These all apply to me. I am so miserable at my job, and unfortunately because of this, my job is all I think about. It’s a well paying job and the people I work with are very nice, but I just feel my job isn’t a good fit for me. It requires a lot of analytical thinking and is very subjective, and I just cannot handle this. I’m not saying I need a job to be completely easy and stress-free, but I would like something a bit more black and white. I have so much anxiety that I’ll make a mistake, when I didn’t have that at my previous job (that I loved and only left because I applied for my current job that was a higher level in the same company). I’m so scared to quit because I’m scared of what my boyfriend, his family, and my parents will think. Also, I’m not exactly sure what route to take when I leave. I have a couple of ideas, but I’m scared people will just think I’m a constant quitter and will keep giving up. I’m also scared of what my boss will say. I know everything would eventually turn okay (I hope), but right now I’ve been going through this nightmare for nine months.

The janitor’s job was my epiphany...lol!

10 out of 10 this is my first job after college and I just started like 3 weeks ago. . It feels like I'm there for months already . I can't imagine myself doing it for more days, weeks, months and year. . . I can't connect with anybody else in that place. . .

10 out of 10. I literally cried on Sunday afternoon having tears in my eyes... I wake up having anxiety every morning.. there are few things which are not meant for you.. I think being janitor is better than having in a shitty job.. the thought of going to office makes my stomach sick..

wow this is me right now & im quitting my job soon. the thought of leaving makes me so happy.

Yes I relate to the prison one. Just being a drone at a desk for 8 hours a day, and not being allowed to chat to anyone, it's like you are supposed to be a machine. Awful. Then you only have a couple of hours to yourself by the time you travel home and get food, it's time for bed again. :( I was happier doing part-time and if I ever had to do full-time I thought I would rather have two jobs as there is much more variety and interest.

I'm so happy I don't have my old job!!! All of these apply!

All 10 applies to me. Every morning I felt dread. I have broken down 4 times in total during meetings.

I started performing poorly and just recently my manager approached me with a "performance coaching" and I begged him to fire me and told him that I hate working there.... Sadly I'm still there

A lot of these apply to me. Especially the Monday Blues. I realized last year that I'm constantly wishing away my life. I'm starting the process of making a change and your videos are helping. Thanks for all the advice.

You're a total hoot Shaina! New subbie here..... And perfect timing finding you because I was recently one of seven let go from a job I loved , but working for people I did not feel the warm and fuzzies for. Of course I was devastated at first thinking OMG what am I going to do next? What if I can't find a good job? Gak! I stressed about everything .... And now I am happy to report that I am at peace and taking my time to find work that really makes me happy and fulfilled. I am so excited about my future now! Thanks for the motivation!

This was so helpful. Thank you I've been definitely struggling and I already know I hate my job but I think if all 10 of these points is how I feel then that definitely affirms it

oh my gosh, this is the story of my life since am a teenager lol it s like you read in my mind! so far, you are the best life coach I ve came across on internet thank you for helping us

Yes! I can relate to all of these...especially your emotions surfacing when you were in your manager's office. "I don't even care about this job!" I have such a similar story from when I was working in a fast-paced tv news office. Ouff. Glad that's over!

I have been at a new job for exactly one week and I already feel trapped. I know this job won't work out but I dont know if I should quit or wait and be miserable until I can find something else.

Wow it hit me 9/10. Thanks for giving me more clarity with my decision.

I'm a teacher. Every labour day my stomach turns ...knowing that school is about to restart. I'm tired ...underpaid... underappreciated. I got 2 interviews next week ( yes I was laid off again) and I am not excited about the interviews for yet another teaching job. But I am super excited about this AUDITION coming up...hoping to make my side gig my MAIN gig!!

I've been at the wrong job before and had these feelings haha. Thanks for sharing girl!!

omg thanks a lot for this video. I feel better hearing this. Im always imagining what it would feel like quitting my job and moving on. thanks again! i just subscribed 👍🏻☺️

Thank you Shaina ☺ This video meant a lot.

So true. Thank you for sharing in a humorous way.

Thank you for what you do, you are helping me with self care ect on a daily basis and trying to figure out my own life in progress.

Thank you for the content. I feel like quiting after 4months in the job!

Love your energy ❤️

Thanks shaina for sharing

Thanks you for your advise :) keep it up :)

This was so awesome! Thank you for sharing! xo

This is suuuper accurate. My previous company was great but it got bought out and I had to find a new company, but the one that I got now is just a mess. There's no pressure to quit but I have this feeling that I NEED to find a better job WHILE I have this one so that I won't be unproductive. The problem now is that its hard to find a job that I like, so now I'm stuck at this company doing everything half-assed & actually WANTING to be dismissed.

You make the best videos! 🙂

Wow, #6 really struck a chord with me. That’s exactly what I’ve been experiencing for way too long but I’ve never heard it said out loud like this. Thank you!

thank you so much.. All these apply to me exactly.. I travelled to Dubai to work of my qualification.. But now i have decided I am done.. no more adjustments.. I will go back to India.. I want to be in Journalism.. want to work in TV Radios.. I am a singer too..

Thank you for this. Now I know what to do.

thank you, i think i got into the wrong profession because of pressure and fear when i was going to school. I quit my job last year and travelled and it was the best. now im home again and the pressure from my family to work is back! My mom especially. Now i need to envision what i want, so i can take the next step of what i want to do in my life

Thank you for this

This video should’ve been watched like millions

A huge thanks to you.... Finally I got my answer by watching this amazing video 😊😊❤️.

Awesome and very informative.

yes, i love your channel i dont undestand the half but i love your channel you have themes very interesting . i started with my journal thanks to you. shaina i love you im subscribed.

This is great❣️I literally lol when you said “you would rather chew off your own arm...”

Seeing this for the first time, I resonate with ALL of them.

pretty good info.. thanks .. your pretty funny too.! Great video. :)

Wow. That first point you made resonated with me. That someone else has thought the same thing. I say it all the time, I would rather be the janitor lol. I’ve watched a few of your videos and enjoy your content.

I got a job working with animals a couple months ago, which is what I've been trying to do since I was in high school. But now that I have it, I've been miserable. I cant tell if it's the job itself or the people I work with. Maybe a mixture of both. We dont relate to each other at all and almost all of them are condescending towards me. I make mistakes yes, especially because I suffer from pretty bad brain fog. But I think I'm starting to get the hang of it now. Even so, I'm constantly on edge because I'm afraid of what they are going to say to me, and afraid of what mistake I'll make next. I'm tired of getting looked at like I'm stupid despite the fact that im trying so hard. I've realized that, my calling may still be with animals but just in a different line of work with them. Unfortunately those are hard to find especially since I haven't finished my bachelor's yet. Looking back at my previous jobs, I was in retail for a few years (despised that and didnt understand how my coworkers were so perky and eager to be there), I've worked at pizza hut, (which I wouldn't say i hated but i definitely didnt enjoy it), and a factory (I cried many days as i stood in my assembly line doing the same exact thing literally all day), and also at a small town gym. Which I actually enjoyed. I got to man the place by myself with no coworkers, clean, sign members up and sit in the office. I had to leave due to COVID and I didnt get enough hours to sustain myself. Which I was actually quite sad about. Now yes, all of these are entry level jobs of course, none of which would be careers, but it just makes me wonder, what kind of career WOULD I enjoy until retirement? I dont like job hopping, I want to be content and happy with whatever career I choose, but I have no vision of what I'd like my life to look like 20 years from now, despite how much time I've spent meditating on it. I feel so stuck and imprisoned in this endless cycle of absolutely hating what I do. Really makes me want to find a rich man and become a trophy wife haha

this is a really good video...!!

You are 100% correct!

Omg..I neeeeeeded this!!!

I can’t believe I found this video again! My 13.5 year old Labrador just died and my manager actually snickered and said, “Uh, No.” when I put in for ONE day of bereavement time to deal with her death. I am leaving very soon or I’m going to chew off one of my arms! Seriously, I’m literally to the point that I am intentionally doing as little as possible because I simply don’t care anymore....and no one has noticed!!!’

Thank you for your videos. Today I found you after walking out on a job that was insufferable. I cried when I left. I have always been a person of commitment and diligence, and so quitting this job was painful(only because I felt I failed). I realize now it wasn’t a good fit. You’re wise and I subscribed. 🙏🏻🤲🏻👏👏👏👏💎

wow you hit all points that i have right now

Totally felt all of the above. Quit my job last week. Best decision I ever made! Can't wait to sleep in again!

amazing video! keep it up!! :)

Wow! this video really makes me realize that I'm doing the right thing to quit my job. thank you :)

I'm glad i found your video .It's very empowering.I'm experiencing all the 10 signs right now. I'm an elementary teacher in a public school for almost two decades. I love teaching children but not the tedious paperwork.I mostly don't enjoy my weekends and I lack time for my family because of so many take-home paperworks needed to be accomplished .I could not forget that one night, i dreamt of working as a janitress for a small company and in that dream I was holding a feather duster, was wiping an office table and I felt a genuine freedom and happiness that moment. Upon waking up, I got sad. That's how frustrated I am to escape from my current job.Thanks for the encouragement you are sharing through this video.I hope one day I could find the right job where my passion really is and could give me the real fulfillment and happiness I'm longing for.Godspeed...

I feel all of it!!

RELATE MUCH!!! #LOST #DONTKNOWWHATTDOWITHLIFE THANKS FOR THIS!!

Thank God I found this video. Really helps a lot. I've been working for almost 10 months and ever since we finished training and started to take the actual job, I always feel drained and wished for my old life back. Now, I'm at a point where I have to explain myself why I committed absences these past few days. Now, I just know what to do. But I'll have to render more work since I still need some money.

Thank you for changing my life

Omg everything you said! Down to the janitor thoughts! 😂

the level of care part yeah that one...hits me. its like i'm in a position to care for the elderly and i really respect the people that are all about this job and that noble kinda image kinda makes me think nahh .. don't quit yet you gotta continue and grow and become the best human! i'm so on the fence right now...

love this video it is meeee. i am planning my way out can not quit but i am preparing myself and i swear to myself i Will never be that miserable again and Will help others too!! this video is so Good thanks!! cheers from Barcelona XoXo

Omg I use to watch the cleaning ladies and dream of having their jobs when I was in the corporate world. Dreamt of helping people in the peace corpses too. Lol

omG the first one had me laughing, with surprise.. wow! pretty much the whole list applies to me..

your awesome that 10 thing fits perfectly

All of what she said is so true!

Soooooo true 😢 I think I just have to accept the truth that I'm not a good teacher and I need to stop trying

Good grief. I feel so lost. I work my job because: 1. It's a pay check. 2. If I don't go to work, I feel guilty. Like I'm not being a productive member of society. Everything Shaina talks about applies to me. :(

Call center jobs suck! You've glued to your desk all day, can't visit with anyone, can't take breaks with co-workers, and nothing changes.

I just experienced everything you just described, felt pretty crappy and discouraged by my job.

OMG! I screamed at 3&4.... all from 3 are me. I can't wait til this contract is up. Time for something new

This happened to me several years ago. I really feel for people in this situation.

Every single word you said applies to me. I feel depressed a lot and I cant leave just because of the financial security and that I cant find something better or that I dont know what else will I do. Its really bad...

After watching this video I've come to the conclusion that I used to hate my job but now I realise that I actually like my job, it's just the people I work with can sometimes make me dread going into work. The work itself I love.

Wow, the lunchbreak thing...that hit me hard

10 signs that your video IS MY LIFE!!! I look at that red stapler on my desk and wonder.....

I can relate to every single point 😂

God! This just hit me very well.

I can relate to most of these.

Omg literally here right now breaking down

10 out of 10

10/10 for me. Mentally I no longer care for this job and want to quit already. Just waiting for the right time to come, 2 more months!

All of these reply to me! I'm going to print out my resumes, as we speak!

All 10 apply to me. It got to the point that I was given the choice to resign or be fired. On the one hand i'm so glad not to have to go back to that job and on the other i'm freaking out on what am I suppose to do now.

I just finished study so this is my first job. and I work about a week and all of these list is so true. I HATE MY JOB 😖

It's sad that all 10 apply to me. I been trying to find a new job for almost a year but no luck. I feel like I am stuck with a job that I truly hate. As much I want to quit, that's not an option since I have bills to pay.

omg i felt the exact feeling about the janitor!

Hahaha!!!! The janitor analogy was spot - on !!!! Yes, I envy the janitor and resent the Security personnel for having the easiest jobs in the organization that I work for while I'm forced to work under toxic and degrading conditions where my respect for Management in general and my supervisors in particular has eroded into nothing but anger contempt and constant frustration !!!...

10/10 :(( I hope I can quit really soon. My job isn't for me.. thank you for this!

Number 6 applied to me. I just feel like not doing what I actually want to do for my company right now. I'm really good at being a business consultant who goes into a company, identify and solve organizational problems using all the great tools that I already learned. For example, I wanted to help my company redesign our messy warehouse and proposed to my boss. But instead, my job is largely related to Finance monitoring payments from clients.

I just graduated high school and all 10 of these apply. I don’t know if it’s the job or the fact that it’s all new to me.. It’s a make dominant field that I know I could be good at but I’m just not doing good and it’s showing. I cry everyday. I’ve missed work twice already and I’ve worked 2 weeks. I’ve never been that way. I feel so trapped..

This is me right now 🤷🏾‍♀️

all 10 I just left today. full time uber driver now. been putting off for 3 weeks to a 96 hour check. pay period is done so i left today. on good terms

Damnnnn so true

Each and every above points

Haha I love you shaina but I don't even know why I'm watching this because I'm still in school😄
