INTOO UK and Ireland featured in The i Paper in an article exploring surviving a job you hate, particularly when leaving immediately is not a realistic option.
The article shared advice from career experts on staying engaged, protecting wellbeing, and using a difficult role as a bridge to future opportunities. It also looked at why many employees are staying in roles they no longer enjoy, with financial pressure, family responsibilities, and market uncertainty all influencing career decisions.
Matthew Collier, Business Development Director and Career Coach at INTOO UK and Ireland, highlighted the importance of maintaining genuine professional relationships, even during challenging periods at work.
“Don’t be the person who only reaches out when they need something. Stay visible, be supportive, keep in touch. When the market wakes, it will be those who have maintained genuine relationships that move fastest,” said Matthew Collier.
His advice is especially valuable for anyone surviving a job you hate. Staying visible, keeping your network warm, and taking small, positive steps can help make future career movement feel more achievable.
