Every job comes with its challenges. A micromanaging boss, an unreasonable client, outdated software... Heck, some have a whole bouquet. But when you are sitting at your desk, responding to emails, or filing yet another weekly report, it might seem like you're the only one who is struggling. You're not. The Instagram account MBA-ish shares memes about these harsh realities, and it already has over 564K followers—a testament to the fact that it understands what employees are going through.

Or maybe just leaving it alone. Because after six months, it doesn’t need a manager. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
We don’t have to endure everything that’s wrong with our job. "Bringing up a problem at work to your boss or HR can feel intimidating, but approaching it tactfully increases the chances of being taken seriously," Keith Spencer, career expert at FlexJobs, a leading platform for finding remote jobs, told Bored Panda.
When doing this, he explained, "It’s important to clearly explain the issue and how it’s impacting your work or the organization. Try to maintain your professionalism, presenting the issue calmly and objectively and, if possible, suggesting a potential solution."
"Afterwards, it’s helpful to follow up with a brief written summary in order to document the conversation," Spencer added.
"If the issue isn't addressed in a timely way, you can politely follow up or even consider escalating the issue through the proper channels, while keeping a record of your efforts."
However, there's only so much you can do in some organizations. A survey from the American Psychological Association (APA) revealed that 19% of workers say their workplace is very or at least somewhat toxic, and those who reported being part of one were more than three times as likely to have said they have experienced harm to their mental health at work than those who report a healthy workplace (52% vs. 15%).
By work type, those in customer/client/patient service jobs (31%) were more likely than manual laborers (23%) and office workers (22%) to report experiencing verbal abuse at work.
But 1 in 10 manual laborers (12%) reported that someone within their organization displayed physical violence toward them, whereas about 1 in 20 office workers and customer/client/patient service workers reported the same (5%, 6%, respectively).

Nope at home working, petting animals, forgetting I'm meant to be working and play on phone, put TV on and half watch it whilst making coffee, look in fridge for 10 mins for food. Really why the downvote ??

We need more career training and research in high schools. Let kids experience different careers before they make any big decisions.
Discrimination is also a serious issue, with more than 1 in 5 (22%) saying they've witnessed it within their current workplace and 15% reporting they've experienced it themselves.
Additionally, more than a quarter (28%) reported having witnessed negative slights, insults, or jokes that devalued the identity or negated the thoughts and feelings of others based on their identity or background, and nearly one-fifth (19%) of workers said they had been the target of these behaviors.
"If you’re feeling stuck, overlooked, or constantly drained at work, it may be time to consider looking for a new job," said career expert Keith Spencer.
"Signs include a lack of growth opportunities, feeling undervalued, or being overwhelmed by an unsustainable workload. You might also notice a shift in company culture, an increase in micromanagement, or simply a persistent sense of dread about going to work."

It's not about courage, it's about having to pay the bills. Very Very few people have a job that they love that is enough to sustain them. But, this is how it will always be. Choose your career wisely!
Our feelings don't come from nowhere. Consistent patterns might be legitimate indicators. "If you find yourself regularly daydreaming about leaving or updating your resume in your spare time, pay attention to your instincts," Spencer of FlexJobs said.
"A job change isn’t always easy, but staying in the wrong role can be even harder in the long run."

When someone quit, my cousin's boss told him "We're one person short, so from now on you'll have to pick up the slack.' My cousin replied "Make that two people short" and quit.

Yea. And when going to next page some pictures are the same because ppl voted in the meantime. Stupid idea. But I bet it's because they are trying to generate more ads views (i am guessing there are ads on this page).

We are finally getting back to Career and Technical education. The school I work for has a career and tech school on campus and we have pre-law, EMT, welding, auto, manufacturing, agriculture (in a semi rural area), digital media, CNA's, sports medicine etc and it has been so refreshing to have students think they want to do one thing and then change their whole path because they loved one of our programs. It's time to dump the whole idea of college for almost everyone. Sadly, you can get a student loan to cover a $200,000 communications degree but it's much harder to get a loan to buy a welding machine or other equipment to start a job in the trades.
