If you were to stop a random person on the street and asked them about their job, the most common thing you would hear from them is “I hate my job”. To be honest this doesn’t surprise me, because most of the jobs that I’ve had I hated with all my strength. If you were to run a job satisfaction survey you will find that most people are not satisfied with their jobs.

It doesn’t surprise me when I hear people complain about their jobs, but the funny thing is most of them are planing to stay in their current job forever. So why are people terrified of leaving their current job even though they hate it. Why are people willing to put up with all their bosses “stuff” along with an empty career? Although there are countless reasons that I can give you to go look for a job that you like, I think there are a couple of very good reasons people don’t do so.

The first reason I can think of is people are afraid, many people are too scared to explore all the opportunities that he world has to offer, they are scared to quit their jobs because they think no one will hire them but they are wrong. One of the most common things people do when they are afraid is they freeze up and stay put. The second reason I can come up with is that people don’t think there is anything else out there for them.

Many people stay put in their current job because they are used to it, they hate it and yet they are comfortable so as long as their current job is putting a roof over their head. The third reason is people think they have security where they currently are, the large majority of people think they are secure in their current job because they have worked there for a long time, but the reality is that one doesn’t have sure security anywhere. If you hate your job there is no reason to stay there.
