I have come across many people who hate their jobs but, still continue with the fear of becoming unemployed. These days, finding a job is not only difficult, but also time consuming. When I asked my friends about this, they said they are trying to love their jobs so that they avoid switching companies.

Why do you start hating your job after few months? Is it the work pressure or is it the monotonous work life which builds boredom? There can be many reasons behind hating your job. To justify this point I can site few examples such as a strict boss, interfering colleagues, dirty office politics or lack of stable mind.
