I have work meaninglessly for four years even when i was so depressed about my profile and day-to-day office life. I was only working for money, but one thing, which I have realized gradually, is my output was lowering down day by day. Such thing moves on until i was out of my fear to be jobless and took a risk by resigning without having another job. I would not suggest anyone to do this foolishness, as i was lucky enough to start my own work. Even i have been through this phase.

I hear this complaining every day, generally from the "lifers" at work. Why they've put up with the same nonsense for 20+ years is beyond me. I always have an exit strategy worked out for whatever job that I'm currently in. This way, I can plan for a job search, sending out resumes, etc. I'm about 6 months away from another potential move.

The difference is that I had already started looking for a job BUT I had also started a side-business in real estate that during this time of unemployment is going to carry me through...

I really feel for anyone in this position. If you find yourself talking with coworkers about last night's TV show, and that's a regular thing,.... it's time to take back your life. But that's going to require a lot of work - personal work. So maybe you're not ready to hunt for a new job yet for a good reason: because you know it's gonna be the same old thing again UNLESS there's a change inside you and you have a different approach. Maybe you need to start your own side business. What I'd suggest, if job hunting is too big of a step, or not the right step right away... I'd suggest taking some small tiny move in the direction of something that gives you a LOT of interest/excitement/positive feedback which is also something you've always wanted to pursue. A personal goal or personal interest. Once you start taking baby steps in that direction, it's funny how things can start lining up to help you. Ugh. I really feel for anyone in this position.

I've resembled that remark. Thanks for the smack to the side of the head. We all should be on our best game positioning ourselves for the best opportunities. We don't have much of a right to complain if we aren't doing much about it. Ouch! I've resembled that remark. Thanks for the smack to the side of the head.
