Staying in your current job is not a problem, even if you feel uncomfortable. Sometimes what we need is not a pleasant job, but a job that can still provide us with an income.

Many people out there don't even have a job to earn money, and are still struggling to search for one. So we can stay with our current job while we search for others.

I saw that post on my Facebook feed and thought about it. It's true.
If we're still working in our current job, we're still luckier than those out there who are still struggling to find a job.

Don't waste it by thinking short-term about leaving your job before you can find a replacement. There will come a time when we can find something better than this.

So, hang on a little longer and enjoy what we have and be grateful for it.

note: I use grammarly to make it readable.

This sounds a little bit like we should be happy to stay at our current jobs and think of it as something that'll pay in the long run. Dude, whatever pay you're receiving, if it's not ok now it'll be way worse even in the long run. Your priorities would increase, your bills, your needs, your responsibilities, but your income? ... Still the same.

Not saying we ought to leave our jobs, stay unemployed and search for a new job that will magically satisfy all our needs people work 2- 3 jobs... People freelance while staying at their salary paying jobs, people even run small businesses. You can never be too sure with the economy. Job security is like a drug, depending so much on it could be dangerous, but it doesn't mean you don't need. Staying on your current job isn't wrong, even if it's not satisfying all your needs, but since it's not satisfying all your needs, one should have a plan B, C, maybe even a D.
