In this downward-spiraling economy, people are losing their jobs left and right. Now that the United States has reached an all time high in unemployment, if you have a job, you are one of the lucky ones. It makes it that much harder to stay in a job that you hate, simply due to the fact that there are none or few other opportunities left open for you.
In the past, I personally have had to accept and stay in a position that was both detrimental to my psyche and disheartening to my soul, due to the shear fact that it was the only position which would pay me at a rate so that I could live as to what I was accustomed.
Through that experience, I have devised some rules and regulations when playing the professional sport 'Work' even if you hate the position that you are in.
Be Flexible
In years past, the normal workday consisted of a set routine and a predetermined expectations and goals. With the onslaught of social media, change can occur instantaneously we as employees must be well suited for the ebb and flow of the employers needs. If you enter a meeting that you have prepared for, and you are asked to come up with figures that are not what you prepared for, though unprofessional, you should adjust to the situation.
Know Your Employer
With mentioning flexibility, companies are ever changing, making larger and bolder moves in a faster amount of time. If you are able to effectively navigate the company's changes, predicting their market strategies, you may be able to stay afloat.
To keep a job that you hate, it is paramount to make sure that you know the direction in which your company is taking. If you have an inside scope that the company wants to start producing products in Korea, and you hold a mid level sales position, it may be in your best interest to show enthusiasm about the company's change in marketing and make yourself known as a person who would like to assist the company in its upcoming goals.
