Tips on Dealing with Job Dissatisfaction

Our Workplace is quite scary at first but after a month or two or even more, it becomes like our second home, where a pressure is easily overcome with hard work and dedication.

There are several reasons why there is dissatisfaction in a workplace. Sometimes, it is just a phase in a worker's life but some caused a major impact on employees.

1. Bad Management- if everything goes out of control, how can things be right?
2. Boss showing favoritism while giving others a hard time. This easily divides the group in two.
3. Too much work fewer benefits
4. The supervisor has no humanitarian consideration
5. Workmates with malicious intent always
6. Failed expectations
7. If a particular situation is done by one workmate is affecting other workmates negatively.

The person in this situation needs to pray for his inner strength so that his focus at work can't get distracted. Sometimes, choosing to keep quiet helps in lessening if not solving the difficulties.

Initial reaction to job dissatisfaction is to resign, but dealing with the problem is a much better option than leaving your job drastically.

Never allow yourself to freak out and throw your anger to the center of your fury. Stay away from a situation that may test your self-control. If possible, leave your workplace immediately or go to a restroom, canteen or anywhere away. Take a deep breath, inhale, exhale, drink water, soda or coffee etc.

Sometimes all you need to do to refresh yourself is to rest. So take a short leave from work, go places and sleep longer than usual.

Leaving the work permanently may not be a good decision if your financial condition is critical. The reality is, we need our salary so we can provide for our family and to sustain our needs. If you think that the only solution to your dissatisfaction is to leave your current work, then make sure that you are prepared up to how many months you can stay without your regular income and start looking for a replacement.

When you work with love, then it is not like you are working anymore.

You won't get bored when you work with love, loyalty is one's dedication to work. Since our job is the one that provided us our income, we should do our part to be worthy of the amount being paid to us. Having a straight value often lead us to right attitude and any good intention will surely get a reward. Always practice loyalty and sincerity.

Accept every new project as a challenge, and set your personal goals. Always focus on what you can contribute to the company before expecting more.

Improvement is a sign of professional growth and may be followed by a reward or a possible promotion.

You compare your performance to your previous performance. If you can finish numbers of projects in a particular time frame last year, you must do better this year. If you have tardiness in your record last year, you must aim for no lates this year.

Office attitude must also be observed here. If you think you complain a lot last year, try to be more obedient this year, challenge yourself to see how you progress.

A good relationship with your office mates is a big factor in preventing "Job dissatisfaction". A happy environment makes a good working team. Although it is a rule to set aside personal grudge, nothing beats working in an environment where you don't have existing issues or resentment to anyone.

Make an inspiration out of something. The choice is in your hands as to who or what your inspirations will be.

When we are inspired the inner peace and happiness are evident in our aura. Anything or anyone that can make us happy becomes our energizer. If something or someone is giving us too much joy, our happy disposition will spread like a virus among our office mates.

Reasons that drive us to work hard with less resentment are our inspirations. Love ones that we want to provide with comfortable lives are best reasons for us to work efficiently and effectively.

Pray to God, He will help you decide. He alone knows what is good for you. He knows whether it is time for you to go or He will let you endure more to learn something from your present situation. He will reward you the wisdom to decide in his own time.

Nothing can equal the power of God when it comes to inner conflicts. there are times when a situation in our office makes us feel hopeless and tired, we even wish we resign right away and turn our backs on unfair office rules or office mates that we sometimes think made our life difficult.

When in a situation like those mentioned, the only thing we need is to pray to God, ask Him to give us more strength in controlling our temper during challenging times. Pray for inner peace and wisdom so that we can always think before we react. Think of Jesus Christ beside you patting your back as if he is calming you down.

We are only human, our workplace is not a paradise and our office mates or teammates are not angels, but always remember your goal why you are working. No one is telling you not to get mad or angry, but express it appropriately.

At the end of the day, we need our salary to sustain our lives, and we should not ruin it just because of hurting pride and wrecking ego. Always remember tip "number 9".
