On a scale of 1 to 10 my depression is 11.
Any new job with a pay rise of 1 kobo from my initial pay would be better...

GOD HELP MY COUNTRY.

I do not want to say one thing now and my oga at the top will later say another thing. I don't know how many people know my Nairaland id in my work place. One thing I am sure is that about 85% of workers in Nigeria don't like their jobs but cannot leave because there is unemployment in the country.

That's weird, how can you be sure of what you don't know? grin

Hi, I think if you have a job that pays, you should be grateful but if it makes you miserable, why not quit?

But for how long will you get to cuddle.....

For as long as needed dear. This is one of the things the job denied me. I have been delivered! grin

NB: People should develop some skill set asap and have some ideas on how to generate cash penned down. Determine your income and be your own boss. It's NEVER gonna be easy, but it's rewarding psychologically, emotionally, physically and financially. cool

I honestly thought i’m The only one who feels this way.
I was really excited when I got the job offer even knowing fully well that this will be out of my field. I saw the position as being challenging and with the way the job description was tailored I felt there will be development as time goes by.
A couple of months down the line and things seem different and i’m Slowly losing interest in the job. End the day sometimes feeling unfulfilled and it just seems like i’m Wasting my time.
The salary is good as well as the work environment but I lay great emphasis on job satisfaction and career development.
Either way i’m Still grateful

Get a skill brother, save as much as you can - quit and start something.

I have a skill boss,my dad is a plumber so I've learned under him for years so I'm kinda good in plumbing work,I'm only trying my hands on something new,still a student though.......
My place of work is lively,free WiFi,made good friends there,there's food for workers,the work itself is something else and hostile colleagues sef plenty

Its never the task of the job itself that generates the avoidable stress, but the organizational aura in the work place - which differs from one organization to another. In most cases, its the people you work with that make or mar your interest on the job. If you happen to be working around "horrible people", there will be no meeting of the minds and this will give you constant worry or stress.

I love my job, luxury to travel all over the world for Tech conferences, also work closely with a team of developers in USA ( can’t mention names here). Although my salary isn’t as big as you would imagine but career growth is fast here and I am a very young Nigerian!!! Btw I am a senior software developer.

But the downside, I work almost every time, can’t remember when last I watched TV or took my girl friend out, sometimes I read or stay up all night due to time difference and addiction to learning more

My workplace is my bed and my PC is my tool...and my sanity and peace of mind is intact.

Reasons for not longer interested in working under someone:

*Anger issues "I slapped my manager twice, fought my boss once, punch my co-worker in the face for lying against me, pushed my boss wife down a staircase for insulting me in the presence of a client[ police station we ended later"
was once placed at customer care desk, and that lasted for just 2 hours (I really don't wanna talk about what happened, but some customers are pain in the azz.. rude, inpatient, uncultured, egocentric, psychos, frustrated souls etc)

Don't judge me, I'm introvertic in nature, I can endure shít for long but once I've had enough... Hell has no fury like a pissed offpoint.


If you're reading this, get any IT or just any reasonable skill- get a business idea, don't just rely on another man's job cuz your future is not promised and your sanity you may lose.

Don't wanna talk about marketing department of some firm with unrealistic target like I was supposed to force people into buying what they don't need. they'll budget 20 naira for advertisement and expect 5 billion.... nonsense.

In all sincerity I advise you to try and work on your emotions and get help to manage your anger, even if you don't work for someone today or ever you may most probably work with others tomorrow and even as the boss without having your emotions checked you won't really go far or achieve as much as you want. All the best sir/ma'am

I came out with way less. Had supporting parents and a working wife. The wait for a large sum before resigning was what kept me in the job for this long.

Any job that denies your, autonomy, have a ceiling you cant earn higher than, under threat of being sacked, working alongside people you despise, and being bossed around, to name a few, will always lead to depression.

I read the thread from the beginning, and it is disappointing to see that most people hate working on their jobs. I think society has been scammed on a large scale. The idea that one should get a job and work for someone is the opposite of happiness. Most people will never be happy using that model. To be happy with working is to work for yourself, not under someone.

I have always worked for myself, and even if I may earn less sometimes, my happiness and being in control of my financial destiny are in my hands. I pay myself, and not scared to be sacked. I can choose to work or not, and it is fine. I respect myself so much not to do that, it will make me depressed and my happiness is the most important of all.

Selling the best time of the day (9 am to 5 pm), best days of the week (Monday through Friday), and the best period of my life ( 20's to 50's), with the conditions of my first paragraph, and denying me the chance to be with the People I love and doing the things I want is a bad deal that I find difficult to understand why people put up with it.

I will advise that people should learn a skill, perfect it and see how you can offer it to the world. It will be difficult, but at the end, it's rewarding, and won't destroy your basic sanity. Working for someone for me is slavery.

Hmnn... This life is really a complicated course

Some are depressed for doing some worksHere I am, depressed for being jobless.

Who knows, maybe I'm about getting into a new phase of depression because that job I just got isn't something I really want. No, I never for once thought of being in that environment. But do I have choice. To live, Everyman must eat.
