Cost of living forcing people to stay in jobs they hate

Many people are being forced to stay in jobs that make them unhappy due to worries over their financial situation.

A new trend -'Resenteeism' - is on the rise as the cost of living crisis worsens. Resenteeism refers to people who stay in a job they don't enjoy, or that makes them unhappy, and grow to resent their workplace. With the cost of living crisis worsening, more and more people are likely to stay in jobs they don't enjoy from fear of hurting themselves financially by leaving, reports the MEN.

The term was coined by staff management software provider RotaCloud, which they distinguish from 'presenteeism' (going into work but not being productive, for example if you’re having an off day or feeling unwell), as workers suffering from resenteeism “experience a lot more frustration surrounding their current situation, something that can be catching.”
