How can I keep attentive and pretend to be interested in a job I hate.
I am good at my work, but I hate it. The Company's values don't align with mine and being in HR I feel like a hypocrite preaching something I myself do not believe in (the senior management including my manager is very rigid and not really open to differing points of view). I just barely pull through every day doing boring mundane work, and that leads to me making silly mistakes because I give zero damns about my work. Switching is not an option right now, so I would love any suggestions from people who have managed to stay for a couple of years at jobs/in companies they hate.

Ghosting is Real
I am bothering a recruiter who has ghosted me so many times I cannot remember all of them. Maybe one of these times something will work out.
We were supposed to speak tomorrow at 10am, now it is 1030. We shall see!…

I saw someone post a Google document for all the different types of positions!

Did HR skirt their job?
I had an issue come up recently where a consultant, and former colleague of our CEO, made an inappropriate and insulting comment to me on a call. I offered to share a study to help his brand and his response was "See , you do have some helpful knowledge in that brain of yours." I felt it…

How long do hiring managers typically take to respond to an email?
I had a phone interview for an HVAC company not too far from where I live last week on Tuesday for an Installation Admin Specialist. I came across their job posting on Indeed and followed the directions on how to apply. Basically I emailed them that I was interested and attached my email to…

Is there anything you find enjoyable at the job? If so, focus as much as you can on that. I agree with others about bolstering your personal life and seeing it solely as a paycheck. But honestly, this should be a short-term patch, you should really look for another job. I don't think it's worth it to stay somewhere that doesn't fit, it can cause problems that you may have to fix later, resentment, anger, etc. Especially if it doesn't align with your values. I would pour all my energy into moving on. Good luck!

OMG that's perfect. Don't look at your job to fulfill you if you hate it but are perfectly suited to stay. Fix YOU.
