Why do people hate their jobs

James Altusher (James Altucher) - investors, entrepreneurs (created several successful companies, hedge fund managers) and well-known blogger. In RuNet many have read his articles about the business and start-ups. One of them published on Layfhakere. Under the cut you are waiting for new material about James' work for his uncle, "and the classic employment relationship.

... I said "excuse me" and, limping, left from the meeting. I came down from the 67th floor and went to the central station. Limped to the house, I never returned to the job.

I did not respond to phone calls and e-mails for the next month. "James, where did you go?"

Perhaps a sign with my name is still emblazoned on the cabinet door, and my name is listed on the site. Not tested.

I just do not want to go back and ever talk to them again.

A few days ago I discussed with the managing partner, he would like to receive a reward, if will make a big deal. He smiled and said: "Believe me, James, I'll take care of everything."

When I say "trust me" or "I will make you rich," I know what this garbage will result.

Another point scared me. I went with colleagues to eat a hamburger in a snack bar on Wall Street, when he fell. Without any reasons. Just fell limp, and the following three weeks.

My body if prompted: "Give up this job!". I try to listen to your body. Otherwise, I can not sleep or walk. In this case, the legs refused to carry me.

Whenever everything is good, I'm starting to worry that something might go wrong. And whenever things go wrong, it seems to me that it is better not to be. This is not a depression. This is the law of the human brain, generated thousands of years of survival in a predatory world.

Every day I try to turn it around. It manages to me because I listen to my body and mind, to express thanks, Talk to positive people, a lot of sleep and I eat right.

But the work under the supervision of the "big bosses" who know how to do, destroys my world order.

In a recent study stated: for the first time it found that 50% of people hate their jobs.

For the first time? I doubt it.

I was once asked on Quora me why people hate their jobs. And I replied that not all hate their jobs. There are full-time employees, who are free to decide what, when and how to do, and they love their work. (In Russian, there is no equivalent word entreployee: entrepreneur (entrepreneur) + employee (hired worker) = entreployee - Approx. translation.)

But for the other 98% of the working population:

1. Work - a modern-day slavery. You get paid enough to survive, but not a penny more. Ask for more - will be punished.
2. You are often abused at work, and you raze it, because it is considered normal when bosses or clients yelling at you.
   
3. The government "takes" to 50% of your earnings, with 10-20% of it goes to the defense industry, that is the fact, to kill people in other parts of the world, including children.
4. We are mistaken, believing colleagues friends. After all, with "friends" on the paper, we discuss the ballpoint pens, office rooms and tits in public servers. We cease to be friends for real.
5. Sooner or later you are rested into "glass ceiling"Career. Whether you are a woman, a representative of a sexual minority or black - you do not jump over the heads of the "big boss", even if they are idiots.
6. From seven in the morning until seven in the evening you will: a) go to work, b) work c) to go to work. Thus, most creative hours you spend in the walls of your office and converted into a garbage.
7. You do not eat at work. And what is even worse - share latrines with colleagues and management.
8. Your paranoia that you discuss all the time at work - it's true. They are always ready to deliver by plunging a knife into his back.
9. Do you understand that moneyThat you spent on education in order to get the position were wasted. You are deceived, but you can not show the next generation how to be stupid, so it becomes a part of that deception.
10. The marketing campaign, which cost a trillion dollars has forced you to take the mortgage on the house. AND you will lose the home, which has not even ownIf you do not roach on the "big boss." The phrase "American dream" come up company fannie Mae 40 years ago to establish a mortgage yoke.
11. Your wife is tired of hearing about your work after six months of marriage. You no longer care about each other. 10 years later you wake up next to a stranger, and after 40 - die beside her.
12. Pensions will not provide you a comfortable old age. The purpose of the pension system is to collect money from you every month and as the bait to keep the walls of the offices. 90% of your retirement savings, inflation will eat.
13. When you were a child, you loved to draw, read, run, you laughed, played, the world presents you with magic. Nothing like this will no longer happen to you.
14. Someday you will be fired, replaced by a younger employee, ready to work like a robot, and for less money. You know it, but afraid to do anything.
15. Looking at the homeless, you think: "To all God's will."

Depressed? Not worth it. I repeat: not all hate their jobs. There are many ways to be employed to act as an entrepreneur (be entreployee) and love their daily work. For clarity, are now more opportunities than ever before. But you have to prepare your body, mind and soul, to find them.

Take this magic pill and Wipe your tears on your dirty work of the people. Come to me, kids, let me hug you.
