We will break down it into 3 sections

WHY – Why you hate it?

OPTION - What are your options?

EXIT PLAN - How to work your way out?

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS – WHY

like any pain or suffering you need to find the root cause of the suffering, In the same way, you need to understand the root cause of why you hate your current job, what is about this job that makes you hate it, there are several reasons but you need pinpoint at least one ore more reasons why you hate your current job? it could be your personal life is getting affected, you are dealing with a low paying job and office/workplace environment is toxic.

Explore what is specifically causing your frustration at the office. “For one week (or a month, depending on how ambitious you are), catalog everything you work on including all the projects, tasks, and meetings you have,”  and what specifically makes you frustrated and hate your job to the extreme.

Next, sort them out into categories based on how you feel or how engaged you are with each one. This helps you identify the specific tasks, projects, or people that are causing your dissatisfaction, and frustration. 

Always remember the reason WHY you are doing this exercise is to pinpoint the root cause and make workaround of it until you find your next job move.

FOCUS ON WHAT CAN YOU CHANGE? – OPTIONS

Now that you have identified the root cause of the issue, your focus now should be what is in your Control & what are in your option, you might need to set some boundaries and have clear communication about to it with your manager & colleagues, it might be difficult for starters to have these communication boundaries to be set but it will help you in a longer run,

Additionally, you need to channel negativity out of your daily work life, you need to detox your self, for example, stop thinking about work or work-related matter after office hours, get a hobby, focus on something outside your work that keeps your mind away from your daily job, also you need to build a habit of not speaking negativity or ill about work-related matters with everyone around you.

You need to build the smallest circle of a friend with whom you can discuss your frustration and negativity about the work to vent out these feelings which are building inside you.

 START WORKING YOUR WAY OUT – EXIT PLAN
