Why Do We Stay in Jobs We Hate
When we hate our jobs, work seems to go on forever. We procrastinate, make excuses and blame external factors that are “getting in the way” of seeing things through. But a job doesn't have to be a source of misery.
In this episode, I will discuss an issue affecting many people, why they stay in a job they hate. Most people's career choices are affected by the people that surround them. The fear of being wrong and being tied to a check or job title may be another reason why people don't quit.
Having a career plan will help you make a move and take a risk that might be worth it.
