Not enjoying what you do is one thing. But if a company makes you despise a job you don't actually hate, that's a very different matter.
As a person thirsty for experience, you're excited to get out there and grab every opportunity that knocks on your door. But like most things, your motivation, drive and will, at some point, will eventually fade as you reach the end of the road. That in order to go on, you'd have to work twice, thrice as hard, or more to find the tunnel that would lead you to a beginning of another path. It is a fact that a company can drain the life out of you. It's only a matter of when. For every person has a drowning point. But those points are never the same.
As the company continues to abuse your being, the few remaining motivated cells in your body will start to feel like slowly deteriorating. Like a plant withering, the longer you succumb to the poison of the place that has become your comfort zone, the more you lose your sense of direction. Soon enough, your complete sanity. Yes, there is always the fear -- the fear of rejection; the fear of starting over again; and the fear of change. Then again, if you're going to end up beaten and penniless anyway, why not do it now while you are still capable? Because the truth is, sometimes, passion is not enough and patience does not always lasts.
You cannot expect an employee to give his 101% energy if the company does not even know how to treat a worker right. Because a boss is not a leader without followers. And a company is just an empty building without productive workers.
As our Science teacher would always say, "atoms are the basic building blocks of matter".
