My name is Will DeFries, and this is the Sunday Scaries podcast.

You are here for the Sunday Blues.

Think about your job.

When you're dreading going to tomorrow, or if you're really unlucky, the job you're

pretending to do right at this very moment.

I've never hated a job.

Sure, there are things all of us can hate about our jobs, but actually hating every aspect

of what you do for a living is somewhat more rare than you'd think.

A miserable boss, remedial tasks, unreliable coworkers, zero upward mobility.

In some cases, these can all mix together into one toxic cocktail that affects every single

aspect of your life.

But really, there seems to be an easy solution when you discuss it with friends or family

over dinner or drinks.

Why don't you just leave?

Unfortunately, for a lot of us, it's not that easy.

Most of the time, the reason for staying against your will falls somewhere between the financial

burden of not having an income and the daunting task of finding something new.

This week, I heard from various listeners just like yourselves about the jobs they hate

and the reasons they're still working those jobs.

Although their names have been changed for anonymity, their stories remain all too relatable.

I fully understand this job as a foot in the door from me being my first one out of school.
