Really most commenters on this thread are commenting from a poverty mentality. In sane climes, he won't even come out to ask before he resigns. Personal joy and fulfilment is superior and should be placed over any job.
It is a fucking job, you are not suppose to like it.

Once you make even make work out of your hobby you won't derive joy from the hobby any longer.

While he is looking for alternative he should spoil the work for others abi. Clearly he is not giving his best and people are frustrated but he should still continue because of money. Tomorrow you will accuse senators of collecting money for doing nothing. Meanwhile you are advising someone to do the same thing. SMH

In my experience when someone doesnt like a job it is more honorable to just leave the job instead of fristrating everyone.

Sorry.

Stressful cash isn't my thing. I'm glad you're becoming wiser. Before you leave, save some money first and invest it wisely.

All the best, dear.

Have you taken time to know why your boss does not like you?
Have you checked your attitude to work and to other team members?
What is your social life like as in the corporate world, competency without a good social relationship makes you a good technical person only? you will just be the guy at the back office who has the skills to do the job but can't go beyond that.

Before you resign and blame somebody else think about your attitude first because if you have a negative attitude you will meet the same ‘’ my boss does not like me’’ in your next job.
Remember, in the corporate world, what gets you the job is not what keeps you in the job. In the modern corporate world positive Attitude is considered more than Skills as companies can easily trained/transfer Skills but Attitude comes from the inside and no boss likes a negative attitude.

I’m advising you as a guy who has mentored so many subordinates including difficult ones. Keep your job my friend and consider my points above you will be fine once you discovered what the problem is and fix it.

I totally understand you, I can relate entirely, what you should ask yourself is what is your dream life like and what do you need to do to get there and work it from down up. It's what I did and no regrets 2yrs + and counting

Many people don't love their jobs. It is the money they love. Anyone who really loves his or her job wouldn't mind working for free. Otherwise, there is no love.

Please take one weekend out, say from Friday to Sunday - fast and pray. What's going on is spiritual. I have been there but I never took it seriously until I lost out of the job.

Pray that anybody manipulating you in that office be exposed and also pray that whatever anybody is doing to get you to resign should be reversed. Pray to God Almighty fervently.

That job pays your bill. Keep it because it's not funny outside. Just fast & pray for 3days.

1. You will regain your competencies
2. Those manipulations will be reversed
3. You will be in promotion list.

I wish you all the best.

What makes you think countless people here don't have the skill set? Even if they don't, skills are acquired.

Dude, these are unprecedented times and it's pretty tough out there. Stop whining online, focus on your job, upgrade yourself and look out for opportunities to move to a saner work environment.

Loose your job over petty issues and 'body go tell you'

Like I always say, never leave something for nothing.

I was in your shoes some 7 years ago; was earning over 300k but had absolutely no love for my job.
It was also difficult for me to look for another job because I was working offshore and could barely attend job interviews.
I saved enough money and decided move to Europe for my masters instead of losing more years, gaining experience in something I didn't want to continue with.
I'm happy I took that decision.

Once you become a slave to money, you will never be able to advance yourself to where exactly you want to be in life.
This is the best advice in this thread. Read and learn!

I have been there before
So I know EXACTLY how you feel

Many people talking the way they are talking here cant relate
They are still looking for jobs, or are stuck with underpaid jobs

That said

What I will suggest is that you create a one year (or maybe 18 months ) exit strategy timeline

Within this period
You will have to save like crazy (forget any frivolous spending)
Save like crazy (and in turn convert some of ur savings into portfolio investments so that the money can be earning money for you)

While at it
Be looking for alternatives or if you have a knack for business, you spend this person researching and learning about the business you want to venture into


Leaving a job without FAT SAVINGS
OR ALTERNATIVE COURSE OF ACTION (learning about a business and working towards starting your won business) is suicidal

I know the work culture is terrible
You may have back stabbing colleagues

The place is toxic
Your boss na case

But listen
If you do not have fat savings already
Or you have an alternative job

Or you are looking to start a small business

Please do not resign

Iv been there and honestly I understand your situation. But please don't make the mistake and resign without an alternative to fall back on.
The Job market is a terrible jungle at the moment. I repeat do not resign without an alternative.

Just find some little motivation to keep you going for the time being before something else pops up. I know it can be depressing but half bread is better than non, no matter the situation. Keep your head up.

Lol. Bro.. Some jobs are well paying but with time you lose all excitement and any kind of motivation due to internal / External factors. For some, they slowly get frustrated and with time fall into depression.
The only solution is to exit but not without an alternative.
