Job Hate

Ahh.. this is a subject that has been on my mind for the last while. Hence why I am quitting and going back to school

I work in inside sales. Sales was basically the last job I ever had in mind, but as circumstances would have it, I was handed this job on a silver platter. Let's just say I refuse to do this job even if they paid me 6 figures and here's why:

1. Micromanagement. I am being micromanaged by people who aren't even managers. They watch when people come and go, watch what we do on our computer, and these hall monitors will run to any manager to let them know that we had a 70 mins lunch instead of 60.

2. We are being switched to hourly as of next week. Why? Because it is better for our managers to track us because someone is underperforming or not working 40 hours, so we all suffer. You might say hourly lets you work overtime, but I asked, OT needs to be pre-approved and there will be no approving of OT.

3. Don't like the sales/marketing people I work with. The women give me dirty looks, probably because they're old, wrinkly and are too tired with raising a 2 year old when they're 45. The men are mostly married, and yet they still flirt with young girls. They feel the need to ask me about my personal life, and they're at least 10+ years older. Some even like to brag about how good they are in bed, these are guys with white hair I'm and/or balding.

4. Young people. Now I have nothing against young people, but these people who are MY age, think they run the place when I have more experience than they do! I don't even pretend to know everything but these kids are all narcissists and they lie, argue and refuse to be helpful.

Now I know most people don't like their job, but I can handle just not liking it. I HATE it. It makes me depressed, irritated and I feel drained everyday and I don't want to get up in the morning. I don't think anyone has to suffer in their job, and at this point, unless they're paying me $200k a year, I'd pause and think about it. But at this point, I'd rather be unemployed. So I'm heading back to school and eventually want to work as an editor reviewing video games

On a side note, I actually applied at IGN and was offered a job but in sales. As much as I would love to get into that company, I still declined because to me I just can't take it anymore. I have recruiters calling me every week telling me they can double my take home. They are all pushy and annoying and think I'm crazy that I'm not motivated by money. Guess I'm not cut out for it. I do well at my job, and I'm the most efficient one on my team, even then, it's not satisfying at all.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
