Why do I sabotage my job?

[mattclark242]

why do I sabotage my job? I keep job hopping and not understand why I am at work. I keep being impatient and get mad and going off on people. sometime I just do it cause I want see if I can mess thing up. I keep thinking in my head about how long I be at that job and when I mess it up again. sometime I also do it in relationship to hurt my self I do not mean to hurt other people I feel bad when I hurt other people.

I’m a serial job hopper (and I mean SERIAL, I’ve had 70+ jobs in 7 years, no lie) and I job hop because I get tired of the regular stuff in a job. Its just not for me, and I also get high pay jumps from job hopping, I left a job paying 18 an hour and accepted a job paying 22 an hour to do LESS than I was doing at the job paying 18.

At the end of the day, it’s about finding something you enjoy doing. Me personally I couldn’t be a regular worker. Find some goals and make money off of something you enjoy doing because there’s always someone making money off of what you want to do. Don’t feel bad about leaving. As quick as you’d leave the job that’s as quick as they’d replace you for getting paid bi weekly at a company making millions of dollars off of you.

Its something only you can know, but try to analyze your feelings. Are you trying to hurt yourself when you sabotage your work? Do you feel guilty about it somehow? Do you feel you somehow don't "deserve" to be successful and / or happy?

Even if you have reason to think you were bad in the past, you can still make up for it by doing good.
