Yes definitely. For the last 18 months I've been job hopping, haven't been able to settle anywhere for long. Have been really depressed over not being able to find somewhere that I'm really happy. I've never been like this before! Hopefully now I've found another job and am really enjoying so far

Yes. And it's something I'm currently doing, albeit very slowly, in order to escape the existential toxic culture in my workplace.

I don't want to rush it and end up out of the frying pan and into the fire of an equally shitty job.

I always have. I've had some very interesting jobs but as soon as I get bored or the firm does something I disagree with I always started looking for a new post. It helped that I was very mobile and happy to move around the country to take a job that interested me. I only ever applied for jobs I wanted to do, rather than just do anything to pay the bills

I have been in a job I dislike for 20 yrs plus.

I have no excuse except inertia and a lack of confidence.

I am sure I could get a job, but now I am in the "dont want to upset the pension" zone.

Its not too bad but I'd leave if I had something as secure to move to.

Good luck Hun! Hope you like them as much as they like you... !

Yeah I was bullied at a role in the past. While tribunal was ongoing, I got another job and just left. My dignity was intact and the employer is always advertising for staff as they can't keep them due to toxic managers.

I then became a contractor / interim and love the variety it offers!

They say, when things are up in the air, you never know where the pieces would land. Last year, I had a six month placement that paid amazingly well. And it got me the experience and foothold in an industry I now love and have a permanent contract with a terrific team!

Never be afraid to walk out on a shit job. A lot has been made of "the great resignation" but I think the Gen Z have principles we can learn from.

I think it’s important to keep developing and only work for companies you feel proud of what they do and are loyal to , so yes, definitely when that ends it’s time to go.

It’s also important to know when not to quit and to learn patience and persistence. When I’m recruiting if I see too many short stays and no evidence of a 10 or couple of 5s I worry then are quitters when things begin to get tough so would not usually hire them

Depends what sector or industry you're in, come next year when all the pubs have closed and the job market is stretched things will be harder. Some industries are finicky and last in first out when the shit hits the fan, I want to change companies but holding on for that reason. Good luck whatever happens

Yes it I had another job that I was as certain as I could be was secure, my pension was transferable, the pay allowed me to pay my bills, I was pretty sure I wasn't jumping out of the frying pan into the fire and it was fairly easy to get to.

I haven't worked for some years now and the prospect of doing so, let alone in a job that made me unhappy fills me with horror. If it's possible move on

Yes, without a shadow of a doubt… Done it on several occasions… even without something lined up in advance…..

But then I’ve had more jobs than Mr Ben.

I’ve also managed to climb the greasy pole along the way into more senior roles… by being a serial job leaver.

Yes, we spend so much of our lives working or thinking about work that you need to enjoy and be happy.

I’m fortunate that I’ve only ever had one job/boss I didn’t like and I promoted myself out of the company to a competitor.

On my exit interview I gave honest and constructive feedback, the ex boss didn’t last much longer

I was really struggling with stress/my mental health/panic attacks in my previous job, I went on sick leave for quite a weeks. Once i healed partially I realised that I had to leave my job.

I started applying for different jobs but hadn't had an interview but I handed in my notice. Once I did that my stress level reduced even more.

I did get a job very quickly, it was only 6 days between my last pay and starting a new role.

My mental health improved so much over the next few weeks.

This was over 6yrs ago and I'm still employed by the same company, in a different role.

I'm not sure if would hand my notice in without a job now but I would definitely be looking if I was struggling with my mental health again.

I’m currently in a job that on a personal level I care nothing for and that most days just drains me of happiness. Professionally I give all I can as I’m paid well to do so and paying clients deserve a great service.

If there were a viable alternative, I’d take it in a heartbeat…..but there isn’t. I’ve got approaching on 30 years experience in my sector and nearly 20 years in my specialism.

Doing something completely different now would likely mean a 70+% pay cut, which isn’t even remotely possible as I’m the only income earner and have a family to support.

One of the greatest pleasures I ever had was telling the manager, of the last place I worked at, exactly what I thought of him as I handed my notice in.

As a matter of fact I found out that a number of other senior techs and team leaders did the same as me and when the company saw the trend, the manager was severed from the firm fairly sharpish … it was very satisfying to find that the company cottoned on to what an arsehole he was.

I could probably walk back into my old job tomorrow but on balance my new job is better, so I am happy to stay here even though the wage is not as good

Authentic passion and enthusiasm is hard to beat at an interview, good employers recruit on potential over experience as you can see from posts above not all experience is good.

Focus on why you want the job, what you like about the company, how they inspire you , how you will hit the ground running and overcome any obstacles and skills gaps. Don’t show any hint of dissatisfaction with your current job or company at the interview , ,always talk about them positively , what you have is good , but there’s a win/win opportunity and the interview is for you both to decide if it’s the right move. Good luck

I really feel for you. This is a really difficult position to find yourself in.

Of course there is the added concern these days that although companies expect total loyalty from their workers they feel there is no need to reciprocate that loyalty and they would think nothing of putting you out of a job if they feel it would benefit the company

I would and, in fact, I have.

Didn’t like the job much anyway - long commute, horrible manager, work not great.

Then they wanted to me take on overnight support also without any extra pay. I resigned. No new job to go to. But it worked out and shortly afterwards I was contacted by a job agent and had a new role within a couple of months.

I had a little bit saved away so that allowed me to make this decision and it was a v calculated risk.

I resigned from a job I'd been in for 6 years with nothing to go to, when the owner tried to blame me for something failing that I'd been asking him for assisance with for months, but he wouldn't help.

Put me on garden leave which was great, and within 2 weeks I had 2 job offers, both with a better package than that which I was on.

Worked out nicely then, but have to admit to feeling somewhat vulnerable when I walked out.

Oh, and thrashed the nuts out of the company car while I was on garden leave too....

I'm lucky I suppose, retired early a few years ago and took a Locum position with a charity covering leave, sickness etc. No I work for them in a permanent position and have my own people to support. To be honest I feel like I've 'come home'.

When a senior manager asked me why I'd never done this work before I told her, honestly, that I couldn't have afforded to.

I now work 3 days a week plus other odd days filling in and I love it.

I like the do you have any questions section at the end of interviews when I can give them my own interview

I’ve 7 questions lined up for them

Can you tell me more about the day-to-day responsibilities of the role?

How could I impress you in the first three months?

Are there opportunities for training and progression within the role/company?

Where do you think the company is headed in the next five years?

Can you describe the working culture of the organisation?

What do you enjoy about your job?

Can you tell me more about the team I would be working in?

I think that attitude is leaving a lot of young people just unemployed.

If you find a job you truly love, not “it’s ok”, but actually love, consider yourself one of the lucky few

And you know what really sucks? Being unemployed and poor

I’ll settle for a job I can stand, with work that makes me proud, and a good wage that lets me live a good life style

Out of interest, how long have you been tolerating your current job and how long had the search been for one you love? And will the one you love cover your expenses?

I have left a job before because I was unhappy.

I gave it a chance to improve but didn't and was affecting my mood etc so its not worth it.

It requires a bit of a mental shift of 'am I going to let things happen to me or make things happen!'

Having said that I didn't move until I secured the next role.

Happy I did and would do again if I needed to.

Good luck

My job which I left in 2020 was a 3 month notice period which I think puts a lot of prospective employers off. I was fortunate that the job I went on to do next was happy to wait. I was in that job for a year but my boss then was a gaslighting narcissist. The job I've just left also had a three month notice period but I left 3 months into my 6 month probation period so only had to give 2 weeks notice with them.

Update. Had the call, told head of department that I'm serving notice. Her face dropped! I now have 3 months to find something else which is possible.

I have been in contract roles which I thoroughly enjoyed and others, like this, which I disliked.

There is a difference between being dissatisfied/unhappy and affecting you unhappy. The former see if you can make changes. The latter - go. Your mental health trumps a pay check and you’ll find something else.

On the plus side, three months is rather a long notice period so you should have plenty of time to explore your options OP

I used to work my dream job but very quickly it went down hill (getting bullied by Managment, getting told to cut corners which could go badly wrong ect). The bullying and nitpicking got that bad I was extremely depressed and thinking very bad thoughts.

My advice to anyone that’s working a job that they don’t like is don’t leave it, fucking run from it. A job is not worth your mental health

In 2018 I walked away from a job after 15 years, great people decent job good pay but, in 2015 the suppliers of the company database software decided they were stopping supporting it and moving to a newer system which was under development. I wrote a specification for a new database and that was put out to tender. The current suppliers bid but the boss didn't like the people there. In the end, after looking at several they decided on one company who I advised against.

The company said they could have it done in 8 months, starting January 2016, by September 2017 it wasn't complete but had to be installed as the old db was being pulled by the supplier.

So, at the end of September I finished to go on holiday and handed my notice in on my way out and two weeks later came back to panic. They spent the next 3 months trying to persuade me to change my mind [a pay rise would have helped] so I agreed to stay on for a further 3 months part time to help with the transition.

I left at the end of March 2018 and took a year off for travelling around and enjoying myself.

Although now I have been working temp contracts with much lower pay and currently find myself out of work I don't regret it. I wanted to get a lot of travelling in before the final brexit and then with the covidium I know I made the right decision.

If the boss had listened to me or the database developers had followed my specs I would probably still be working for the company but then again, whilst that was the major issue there were other factors which would possibly have led to me leaving at some stage before now.

I did it once.

I was appointed FC at a hotel in Tipperary after many years in the hospitality industry.

Hotels are notoriously aggressive in their management style but I knew I had made a mistake from day one as this company took it to a whole new level that I had never experienced before in my 36 years as an accountant.

I would be getting texts from the director starting at 7am and ending at 11pm at night. They hadn't had an accountant for three months so they were in a complete mess but expected me to fix it and be current within a couple of weeks.

On top of that I was having to visit my father twice a day to give his meds and feed him as he had skin cancer that had metastasized.

I was on my drive into work one morning and just had to pull over to the side and sobbed my heart out. I never completed the journey and never went back.

I think I last 4 or 5 weeks.

Well done! I walked out of a job that was making me miserable about 14 months ago, didn't work my notice period (shoot me, but no job is worth your sanity).

I had a new job (same role) within a month, which I love 100% more, feel valued for the skills I bring, and have just had a promotion.

Wishing you the best of luck with your new job

The final salary pension is such a bad thing in my opinion it stops people moving on above a certain age when often they really need to go and so limits opportunity for younger people. These institutions become quite stale over time, people at the end of teaching careers join them for a pension top up and easy few years on 70-80K knowing they will retire on 40.

Plus it’s not really that good is it ? You get max half your final salary for 40 years of service. You can actually beat this in 10 years using salary sacrifice, tax & NI relief and you can have that money at 55 not 65

They retire from head of year on around 50-60, heads earn much more ,often in excess of 100. Then they jobs as CEO of educational charity, exam bodies on 70-80, often more , City & Guilds, AQA etc pay well into 6 figures ,

Even classroom teachers who are Heads of department or HoY will struggle to ever earn anywhere near £70-80k. Only senior leadership roles get near that. It's executive heads in academies (of multiple schools) earning the stupid money.

On the leadership scale (outside London), the range is from £47,735 min to £117,197 absolute max. Very, very few Heads are on that.

The upper pay scale is max £41,604 (outside London).
