I hate my job!

This is the opening line I get from around 80% of my private clients.
I hate my job!....
I dread every morning going into work!
I feel sick when it gets to Sunday afternoon as I am one step closer going to that hell hole!
...these are pretty strong statements and as a coach I hear them more and more often.

So lets have a look at this situation in a bit more detail.
Here you are spending more time in work than you do with your loved ones, and every minute you are there you hate it. To add insult to injury you will also spend precious time commuting to the place you dread the most.
This amounts on average to 47 hours a week for the working person in the UK, where you are totally miserable.
What an awful situation to be in...and you are not alone by any means. The amount of work related depression, sickness and under performance costs this country billions of pounds every year.

But it doesn't have to be like this.

When I work with clients who find themselves trapped in this situation, it is important to get to the nitty gritty of EXACTLY what it is that generates this misery.

Quite often their initial sweeping statement to me turns out to be due to one of the following:
Lack of appreciation
Workplace Bullying
High work load
Low work load
Favouritism by the boss
Lack of training
Poor company ethos
Lack of team spirit
Line manager who cannot manage
Poor working conditions
In the wrong job/career
Office politics
and many many more....

It only needs to be one item from the list above to take anyone down a path that starts as frustration and anger...then festers into misery, low self esteem and dread...and spirals deep down to physical and mental health problems.

It is clear that in the current climate jobs are scarce and companies can call the shots more than ever. It can therefore very, very hard to stand up for yourself and make the changes to your job in fear of losing it.

What can you do then, when you feel institutionalised or just too tired and down to pick yourself up?
