There are a lot of places in the world where people can't stand to work. Their job gives them a lot of stress, which can make it hard for them to fall asleep at night. There are also a lot of sick days taken because of illnesses caused by stress. People need to start dealing with these problems and acting in a more positive and proactive way.
I have worked for companies where the people I worked with made my life miserable. These so-called coworkers were very rude, hung out with different groups of people, and often stabbed people in the back. I used to dread going to work so much that I would feel sick on the way to my office.
I would feel very tired when I got home, and I wouldn't have much energy in the evenings to do anything. Then I'd decide to go to bed early, but I'd mostly just lie there and worry about the next day. This could go on for hours, and sometimes it would go on all night.
I've read that getting enough sleep is a good way to lower stress levels. My question is, how do you get to sleep in the first place?
When I did have the energy to hang out with family or friends, I couldn't enjoy myself because I was afraid of going to work the next day. I felt bad for the people I was with and hoped I hadn't also ruined their night.
I didn't have the courage to tell people about the problems I was having, so I kept them to myself. I know now that this was a mistake, and I've since learned to talk about any problems I'm having.
I wasn't paid enough for all the stress I had to go through. The people I worked with, including the team leaders, didn't respect me as much as I thought they should have. During this time in my life, I was very unhappy, and my health started to get worse.
I wanted to leave this company a lot earlier than I did, but I didn't think I could afford to. I decided to save enough money over the course of about six months so I could get away. At the same time, I started to look for other work and gave a lot of thought to what I wanted to do with my life.
On the day I quit my job, I'll never forget how I got home. I couldn't stop smiling because I was so happy that this nightmare was finally over.
I'm glad to say that I haven't been in a similar situation since then. There could be a time in the future when I do, but if this happens again, I'm going to leave a lot faster than I did the first time. Life is too short for me to keep living the way I did.
