To clarify: I’m obviously going to stay at a job if it pays like 10 times what I normally make. Let’s assume the job just pays average, and the position is just particularly awful even compared to similar ones.
Of course I guess “hating” a job can take many forms… Being in a dead-end job, having toxic managers/coworkers, bad location, etc…
I’d take the job, if I know it will not be forever, just a short time. Not enough money to be unemployed, that is terrifying.
If money was not an issue? I can certainly stay busy without paid employment. I work for money, that is the whole reason I have a job.
Going with the word “hate” being a strong one for me… unemployed definitely. If there are not other circumstances and other ways to change station in meantime to put myself in something so negative will be avoided.
Well since I get 1 year of unemployment benefits, thanks to german social securities, I have twice quit bad jobs, was unemployed for a couple of months and started a better job when I found it.
It’s more advantageous to seek a new job while still employed. New employer will have to at least match what you get at your current job to lure you away. A friend who does hiring for his company told me he avoids hiring anyone who’s been out of work for six months. That’s how long unemployment benefits last in our state. He reasoned someone who milks it for every penny before looking for a new job is lazy
I mean, its either shitty job, or shoplifting (and dealing with eviction lawsuits, which gives you like a few months at best).
That’s so sweet, but most of us stay in jobs that we hate our entire adult lives.
