How to not hate your job

When you find meaning in your work you feel fulfilled and have a sense of purpose. Your work might benefit a company, or improve the lives of customers, or others in the public.

• Make contributions to a corporate charity

If your organization has a favorite charity, you should try to get involved in volunteer events and charity donations. Being of service to others, especially those less fortunate, is a proven way to boost happiness.

• Vacation and paid time off

Another way to boost work morale and happiness is to seek out more vacation and/or paid time off. Many employees choose not to take their allotment of vacation days, and this can result in many negative outcomes.

• Look for another job

If none of these strategies improve the way you feel about your job, you should then consider looking for a new one. You might look for something completely different than your current role since you have built up so much disdain for this position.
