The Frustration You Feel at Work Is Trying to Tell You Something.
Stop surviving your workweek and start designing a career that actually fits who you're becoming.
Make Sure Your Sound Is Turned On!!
I Hate My Job is not a book about complaining, quitting, or chasing the next opportunity—and it’s not another career motivation book.
It’s the honest, often uncomfortable journey of a professional who discovers that the greatest obstacle to fulfillment isn’t always the job itself—it’s the clarity, courage, and ownership required to build a career that aligns with who you're becoming.
Be First in Line To Get Your Copies
If you’ve ever sat in your car dreading the workday, questioned whether this is all there is, or felt stuck in a job that no longer fits who you’re becoming—these books are for you.
You Said It This Morning.
AddMaybe not out loud.
Maybe not where anyone could hear you.
But you said it.
"I hate my job."
"I hate my boss."
"I hate my team."
And then you showed up anyway.
That frustration is not weakness.
It's information.
And if you know how to use it — it could be the beginning of something better.

You're Not Stuck. You're Undecided.
Let me be honest with you about something.
The real problem isn't your job.
The real problem isn't your boss.
The real problem isn't your team.
The real problem is that you know something is off — and you haven't decided what to do about it.
So every morning you do what most people do:
You get up.
You get dressed.
You show up.
You smile when necessary.
You perform when required.
You survive another day in a place that is slowly draining something from you.
And every evening you tell yourself the same lie:
"It could be worse." "At least I'm getting paid." "I just need to be grateful."
Here's what nobody is telling you while you keep saying that:
Something inside of you is shrinking.
Not your ability.
Not your potential.
Your expectation for your own life.
And that is the most dangerous kind of loss — because it happens slowly, silently, and with your permission.
Here's What That Actually Costs You:
You spend 40+ hours a week in an environment that diminishes you.
You take the frustration home — and the people who love you feel it.
You stay longer than you should in situations that were never built for your growth.
You keep circling the same problem with different job titles and different employers.
You leave one toxic situation... and walk directly into another one that feels exactly the same.
Different building. Different people. Same frustration.
That's not bad luck. That's a pattern. And patterns can be broken.
What If the Problem — and the Solution — Is Closer Than You Think?
My name is Cloyd Garth, Jr.
I've been a school superintendent. A CEO. A turnaround strategist. An executive coach. A minister. And for more than two decades, I've sat across from employees, managers, and leaders who were all experiencing different versions of the same thing you're feeling right now.
They hated their jobs. They couldn't stand their bosses. Their teams were driving them out of their minds.
And in almost every single case, the thing they needed wasn't a new job.
It was a new lens.
I've led organizations that were in complete dysfunction — institutions so broken they were under state control. I didn't just theorize about what it takes to turn a culture around. I did it. I built teams from the ground up. I sat in the same uncomfortable meetings you're sitting in. I've worked for leaders who made me question my own abilities.
And I came out the other side with something more valuable than a certificate or a title.
I came out with clarity.
"Many leadership experts teach from books. I teach from experience."
The books I've written aren't motivational speeches dressed up in chapters. They are honest, direct, practical tools built from real experience in real organizations — the kind of experience that teaches you things no classroom ever could.
And now I've put everything I know into three books designed to help you do what most people never do:
Stop surviving your workweek. Start designing your career.
Three Books. Three Problems. One Transformation.
Each book in the "I Hate..." Workplace Series tackles a specific frustration you face every single day — and gives you a clear, practical path through it.
Buy them individually. Or get all three and tackle everything at once.
BOOK 1: I Hate My Job!
(And That's the Beginning of Something Better)
You don't hate working.
You hate what your work has become in your life.
There's a difference. And if you don't learn that difference, you'll leave this job... only to walk into another one that feels exactly the same.
Every morning you convince yourself it's fine. Every evening you know it isn't.
I Hate My Job! is not a "quit and chase your dreams" book.
This is confrontation.
Because some of what you're experiencing isn't just about the job. Some of it is about the decisions you made, the red flags you ignored, the standards you never set, and the voice you've been silencing. Until you deal with that, you'll keep repeating the same cycle in different places.
Inside This Book, You'll Discover:
The Misalignment Gap — why talented people end up in jobs that drain them
How to diagnose the real source of your frustration (it's rarely what you think)
Why your motivation has become inconsistent — and how to reclaim it
How to know whether to stay and fight or go and grow
The CEO shift: how to stop being an employee and start thinking like the CEO of your career
A practical framework for building a career you actually want to show up to
Through the story of Michael — a professional who did everything right and still ended up miserable — you'll see yourself on the page. You'll be challenged. And if you're honest with yourself, you'll be changed.
BOOK 2: I Hate My Boss!
(What Your Boss Is Teaching You — Whether You Know It or Not)
A bad policy can frustrate you.
A bad process can slow you down.
A bad day can irritate you.
But a bad leader? A bad leader can make you question yourself.
That's real. And we're not going to pretend it isn't.
But before we spend 200 pages talking about your boss, I need you to consider something:
What if your boss isn't the entire problem? What if your boss is simply revealing something in you?
Every boss leaves a fingerprint. Some teach you what to do. Others teach you what never to do. But every one of them teaches.
And that means your boss is affecting more than your current job.
Your boss is shaping the leader you are becoming.
Inside This Book, You'll Discover:
How to identify whether you have a difficult boss or a genuinely toxic leader — and why the distinction matters
The Leadership Mirror: what your reaction to your boss reveals about your own leadership development
How to become undeniable — so talented that no bad boss can hold you back
What to do when you've genuinely outgrown the person above you
How to exit with integrity — because how you leave says everything about where you're going
Why the greatest leaders were often forged under the worst bosses
By the time you reach the final chapter, you'll realize something that will change how you see every professional relationship you'll ever have:
It was never about the boss. It was always about you.
