Why working sucks

The hours are long, they actually expect you to stay awake and do something and they dont want to pay you enough to live! Plus they keep out sourcing which is a bad thing if your a job hopper! I am not moving to India! What do you think!

Hey Mr. Instability....we share the same problem with frequent job changes.....check out my website: www.tcjobhopper.com about my chronic job hopping.

I've been a ditch digger, IBM programmer, truck driver, biology grad assistant, bookkeeper, office manager...etc.

Maybe we could team up and do a movie about job hopping if you have the right contacts in Hollywood!!

i googled job hopper, found penelope's website, and then yours through a comment.

i'm 26 and a chronic job hopper. i'm now 2 weeks into my new job, and i've been wanting to quit. i dunno why i'm like this now - i've been a very good , diligent student who was rarely late/ absent, and made sure i finished all that i started(BA/ vocational / language schools etc.) i always finished ahead, with honors, special mention etc.

however with work, i have a very weak staying power and very little patience. now i'm working for a japanese company (here in japan) where they judge an employee not only by performance but by your personality. by that it means : Greeting people loudly, bowing, never questioning the boss, never arguing with superiors etc. i feel so miserable already, and i literally have to drag myself to work. I WANT TO QUIT!
