underemployment is killing my brain cells
in 9 to 5
I'm dying in this job; I find myself completely unmotivated, bored and lazy. I don't want it to have a lasting impact on my work ethic but nothing is developing in my job hunt.
I'm thankful to have the job but now I'm wondering if I'd be better off mentally without it!
I crave being challenged and mentally stimulated!
Anyone else underemployed? How are you surviving, mentally?
Re: underemployment is killing my brain cells
Me! I don't really have any advice because it seems to be getting worse. I'm trying to really put extra effort into my job search to find something that is more challenging, but there hasn't been much out there asking for my qualifications.
*waves hand* Me, me, me!!! I'm so lazy and unmotivated at this present job- hope it won't be a shock or affect me at the next employer. Still looking for a new one (a year into the job search).
I do like the fact I don't work that hard (after the last stressful job), put in 8 hours only (paid hour lunch in there!), and can FB or read magazines when it's slow. Summer is our busy time, so I won't be as bored for the next few months. I'm just glad I got *A* job when I was laid off!
My H is. He creates projects for himself. One such project is now used in everyday work for his department (and he got an award for it)!
I work in child care as an aid with a Bachelors degree in child development. I'm not under-challenged, but under-appreciated.
I'm waiting and job hunting for something better as is my H.
