How long to give a job you hate?

Honestly dude if you are unhappy leave. I took a job a few years back I knew would not work out day one. Start looking.

Life is too short to be loyal to a job you hate. If you have offers that you like, take one.

I’ve been at mine 35 years. 7 months to go. Hated every minute, but my family has had a good life.

Get out and don't list it on your resume

Tough call in my opinion. I started a new job in 2014 and absolutely hated it for the first 6 months. Thought I had made the biggest mistake of my life. Ended up getting better and am glad I stuck it out. There have been a lot of opportunities that otherwise would not have presented themselves.

Not saying you should stay or quit, just thought I'd throw out a similar experience

If you hate it that much look around and apply at places you want to be and if the right opportunity comes along than take it. You do not owe any company loyalty just because you are an employee and if something comes along to allow you to better yourself than go for it. I would advise you not to burn any bridges and when and if you leave conduct yourself in a professional manner ,but that is me.

Started a new job in August. Money and benefits lured me. It’s a shite-sandwich. Turnover in management is terrible, which is the boat I’m in.

Have other offers out there, but I’ve never been a job jumper. Never at a job less than a year.

Should I give it a year or get out while I can?

It happens. As long as job-hopping isn't your norm then you don't have anything to worry about.

The only job I ever truly hated was one I walked out on after only 6 months. I've never even bothered to put it on my resume.

dependes on the situation IMO. Is the problem fixable, or is it the culture created from the head honcho?

If its fixable, work to improve it. If not, find a new job ASAP. Life's too short, and there are options.

Several things can make a work environment miserable:
1. management/ownership
2. the specific clients
3. location/building.
4. co-workers
5. demands/expectations

and so on

Good luck. There are always opportunities out there for hardworking professionals.

I always give two weeks. I go out in style. In your exit interview say " It's me not you". Always part on good terms. Someone will call them for your future employment.
