Feelings of worthlessness can significantly impact your confidence. Combat this by recognizing your strengths, accomplishments, and the value you bring to the table. Engage in self-affirmations and seek support from mentors or friends who can provide perspective.

Quitting might seem like the immediate solution, but it's essential to evaluate all options. Consider if there's room for change within your current role or organization. Sometimes, addressing concerns with your supervisor or HR can bring about positive adjustments.

How do you tell your boss you're unhappy?

When expressing dissatisfaction to your boss, approach the conversation constructively. Focus on specific issues and propose potential solutions. Ensure you communicate professionally, emphasizing your desire for a positive change in your work situation.
