Poll: Why Do You Stay in a Job You Dislike?

As I study all the different reasons why the state of customer service has declined, a clear answer emerges...

People hate their jobs.  They're the people who shouldn't be answering the phones...

But what boggles my mind is why people continue to stay in a job they hate.  I consider it a form of self-abuse to wake up day after day and put yourself through the mental torture of doing something you dislike. 

So for those of you who absolutely hate your customer service job, here's a poll for you. If you have another reason other than those indicated below, feel free to leave your reason via a comment below.  Note: You can pick more than one answer.

I hated my last job - correction - my last employer, the job could have been a great if he'd allowed it to be

Why did I stay for so long? Because I'm a good spender and a bad saver so it took me ages to squirrel away enough to start up on my own

Hi Shaun,

At least you took action and had a vision to start your own business! Many people talk and talk about how they want to leave their job and start a business, but they never take that first step.

Thanks for stopping by!

I've never been able to stay in a job I hated and have been very lucky to have a support system that allowed me to act on this predilection. It's also why it was so important for me to finish college. I can honestly say that I've been blessed to usually work with great managers and good people. I won't even apply to a job I know I'll hate; it saves me a lot of time. Only once did I quit with no other prospects apparent, it was scary but lead me to where I am now. :)
