Job Hate

Stupid dumb fucks (clients) asking stupid shitty questions and treating you like dirt.


I used to just take it, but now I dish right back.

E.g "when you calm down, I'll be able to answer your question...until then you can step outside"

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Haa Job Hate. Wow.

Um...I work Security at Target...yeah...those flashlight cops standing at the door when you go in...that's me....except...5'1"...and extremely small. o.o

My job is ridiculously easy, though. Technically we can only "aid" our supervisors in apprehensions...so basically we only really provide a "visual sense of security" in the store. Right.

I mean there are some cool aspects about the job...like cameras, handcuffs etc...but overall, what kills me is how boring it is. I know, it's such a lame thing to complain about...but I just hate standing there for hours...I feel like a huge chunk of my day is completely wasted... But whatever, it's not something I'll be sticking to for a long time...it pays well, and the money is nice.

Actually...if I ever had a choice, I would prefer just not to work in retail. Haaa...although the drama among the workers there makes me laugh inside. Fortunately for me, I like my co-workers and supervisors a lot in the Assets Protection area.

Another thing that I hate about my job...is that during the times when we're not standing around the door we have to walk around and tell the other team members stuff they're doing wrong...even if they're executives or team leads or whatever...and I'm just not in the least bit authorative...so I suck...and of course my supervisor knows that I lack confidence and don't like to tell people what to do, so therefore he thinks it necessary to give me tasks to "get over" the problem. -.-'

Yeah...but in any case...my stuff really is pointless whiny things that really aren't that bothersome against what most of you all have to deal with.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I work for Rite Aid ie guy in a blue smock that goes up and down the aisles
1) Clients who come in are clients who need medication therefore theyr'e either angry, irritable, or need physical help. I've never had to take so much bitching for not having Post Oreo O's on the first day of the sale. (Come on! It's not like I'm the one that supplies the cereals, I'm just the one that puts it on the shelf!)

2) My boss? he's pretty okay, only reason I stay on the job

3) It's retail so people will decide they want to buy something, go to another aisle, decide not to buy that item and leave it in that wrong aisle on the other side of the store...now multiply that by 100 and that's how many times I have to go around the store putting everything back.

4) I hate people who don't take showers or brush their teeth before getting out of their house and coming to the store.

5) I don't like people who don't even say hi (I don't care if you don't smile) when I try my best to be friendly and amiable

6) Standing on your feet for 7 hours

I was speaking idiomatically.

Quote:

6) Standing on your feet for 7 hours

Pussy.

Try standing on your feet for 12. That's what I (used) to do at a video manufacturing plant, for about $7.00/hr, stacking, cataloging and inventoring DVD and VHS crap. Temporary staff = no benefits, but more flexible schedule.

Ah well, at least you knew what was coming out on DVD a few weeks beforehand.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I hate working at the bank when I did. I always got comments like: "Aren't you a bit young to be working here?", and in the meantime I could understand the new paperless system better than some of the people who worked there for years under the old system. I mean some clients were very nice, and I wished they would come every day because they totally understood how tiring the job is. I swore off working at the bank after this guy was on the borderline of whipping his cheques at me and yelling at the top of his lungs...for no apparent reason. Aah, retards complain excessively >=(

I hated piano teaching for a while when I had this student who didn't practice, and he had very irritable parents. The parents would complain that I was apparently starting minutes late and ending too early. I was unfortunately stupid enough to believe them despite actually clocking the time on my watch. I felt bad for the student I had after them, who I would always run late with, and she practiced a lot and had wonderful parents. Fortunately, my boss also realized that the irritable parent set were also troublesome when it came to payments and coming on time, so suck to them, since they got expelled from attending the conservatory.
I hate travelling up to my job for some reason, due to the anxiety of seeing what kinds of students I will get on different daysand what kinds of parents they will have.

Another irritable story (heard on the bus today from some girl): The girl worked at the Bay and some woman complained that even though she only had $0.18 on the credit card, she was still being charged the ludicrous 26% interest. The girl explained to the woman the dangers, especially the fact that no matter how little is on, it will still be charged, but the woman raised a fuss. People complain too much -_-;

FELIPE NO

I'm making the same amount as people who have just started, and I've been there for 2 years. He also steals holiday pay, by not telling new people that they even GET holiday pay, hoping they won't ask, and he also doesn't pay it when people quit, if they don't ask, so he pockets it! Also, he keeps track of school schedule enough to call us in to work EVERY time we have a snow day or inservice day, but isn't understanding about needing time off to study or do homework. We have horrible supervisors aswell, they all do things a different way, so if you get trained one way, you get yelled at by someone else, and then if you change you get yelled at by different people!

It's a shitty, shitty, shitty job...

I Finally Quit!

I got hired at Shoppers Drug Mart, as a Digital Photo Lab Technician(overly technical name for someone who sells cameras), and I'm finally getting out of that hellhole!

3 cheers for me!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

"1. School is not a job."

Sir. I work at a highschool, doesn't that count? ._.

I have no actual beef with my job, I love being an art teacher. There's atleast one or three students in every class (I have 16 classes through the week) that has some sort of artistic talent, so it's very inspiring and exciting.

HOWEVER.
There are the students goes "This is booooooooooooooring!" and "I can't draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw, I don't know what to do, draw for me!" not to mention "lolz art is not a real class, I'm going out for a smoke and then bully the other students becuz I'm cuul and stuffs"
actually, they're not bad themselves, the trick is how to get them intrested too and let their frustrations out on a paper. I can deal and handle that.

Then we have the other teachers...
AUGH.
AUGH.
AAUGH.

1) I'm relatively young looking .. and young. I just recently became an art teacher a month and 3 weeks ago. There are STILL other teachers, thinking I'm just another student. So everytime I need to make up copies and another teacher runs into me, they look at me suspiciously, raising an eyebrow and say "You do know that you will need another teacher helping you with the copymachine" or "do you really have the permission to be here, in the teachers longue!? >=o"
It's rather annoying.
And while at it, with the whole being young and look young (mind you, I don't look my age at all, I look younger, like 17.) Students get crushes on me ._.; (not too sound arrogant or whatever) but I've already got 3 confessions and I have a small fanclub following me around. It's a bit troublesome, seeing how I already am in a relationship and not to mention the whole student + teacher = no no.

2) This may sound a bit GTO'ish, but I just hate it when the other teachers sit in the teachers longue room and gossips about the other students, how she/he is going to fail and why, they keep yapping about how things are going to turn out and how bad this student is. But they have absolutely no intention to ever help said person solve his problems or trick he/she into working harder. It's rather sad.

3) The drama'ing between the teachers themselves. There are a couple of teachers that absolutely cannot get along, everytime they end up in the same room, you get the whole hostile and cold feeling and they barely talk to each other. >>; good job. Good thing I only eat lunch there and spend the rest of my time in my own class room ._.;

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm in the military. Do I really need to expound on this much further?

The only thing is, there are a lot of benefits, but it's about the only thing that off-sets the low pay.

I do get to travel, a lot. I'm going to Australia, Japan, Russia and South Korea this summer. It also gives me an excuse to go long periods of time ignoring my family, which is sort of a bonus.

Most amazing jew boots

I used to work at the airport uploading and downloading freight off commercial airlines. The job itself was easy but there were a lot of little things that annoyed me.

It was a secure area so you had to have a key card to get in. Since I was new I hadn't received my key card because my supervisor hadn't scheduled me for one. So I had to wait outside the gate in the cold (it was around 4am) and sometimes the rain for 10, even 45 minutes, for someone to come out and get me.

When my supervisor finally scheduled me to get my card, he forgot we had an appointment so it ended up getting canceled and I ended up having to wait a few more weeks.

Fumes. 'Nuff said.

I worked on the airborne express side. While I was there, the leads over at UPS were having disputes with management because they didn't receive the raises they were promised. So the leads left and so did about 30 other workers they brought in. We eventually had to let some of our people go over to the UPS side and that put more work on us. Sometimes we'd even have to work the UPS side in addition to ours.

The hours. I was working 4-8am (I had to be there at 4 but I was only on the clock for 3 hours) and 4-8pm Monday to Saturday which wasn't so bad initially. Then school started and I ended up only having 2 sets of 4 hour sleep periods, 12 hours apart. I really hated my job and I hated my life at that point because I just physically felt like shit.

I ended up quitting and just focusing on school.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well I am currently working as a janitor for the local mall. Well it didn't seem too bad at first, but then I graduated...from COLLEGE and I am still there! Even the old people that used to think I was just working my way through college are starting to think that its my full time proffession.

Overall the job isn't bad but the stigma attached to it and that fact that a lot of the time people don't show up to work hence i need to work their shifts bugs me a lot.

Thank goodness I think I finally got another job somewhere else...just gotta wait for that phone call

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I hate my job. I am a CAD designer at Verizon.

First of all, I went to college for electrical engineering. I thought I was going to be doing stuff dealing with my major, and it turns out I'm not.

Secondly, there are way too many contractors who went to ITT tech who are jealous of employees who went to college. The contractors outnumber us
significantly.

It's in the middle of fucking nowhere, indiana.

I haven't quit the job mainly for three reasons:

1)The pay is really nice. Even though we do the same job as the contractors, we get paid more than them.

2)It's helping me to take me deficiency courses in mathematics. Cuz of that stupid job, I've been able to complete a course sequence in undergraduate real analysis. Since I already have a abstract algebra done, all I really need is one more mathematics course so I can start applying to grad school for mathematics. I will be taking complex analysis in the fall.

3)Even when I goto grad school, I will not quit the job because it's easy work, I like my money, and I don't have to be broke anymore.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I work at a daycare center.

IN MY FUCKING HOUSE.

And because I LIVE THERE, I'm obligated to do more work and have less time off than everyone else, save my stepmom who runs the place. I have to fight off 8 snotty nosed kids aged 2-7, with the kids under 4 considering me somewhat of a joke. I don't interact well with people not close to my age, so having to entertain 8 kids (sometimes with no help at all) five days a week for 8 hours tends to drive me insane.

Also I (and my parents) have noticed that sometimes the parents are idiotic about their own children and refuse to raise them, and they're the prime assholes that blame video games when their children go out and do stupid crap.

Also I'm paid a weekly salary and not an hourly rate, which my parents can reduce or destroy if they feel so much as pissed off at me on Friday.

I want to go back to college

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I wish I had seen this thread earlier.

I attend college full-time and have two jobs. The primary position has me training people to work with software and I recently received a promotion to Supervisor since I was basically the only one of four workers that wasn't graduating that didn't get in trouble for skipping or sleeping on the job multiple times. Internet surfing is fun, but it can be SO BORING in there that I even start nodding off. Why does it suck? First of all, my boss realizes that I do work and he thinks that I can do the work of two to three people at once. Also, since the college has it listed as a "worker's grant", I don't get paid minimum wage until this semester when I offically become Supervisor (even though the college claims that they are paying their students $15 an hour, they steal money any way they can).

Oh, my secondary position as a technical writer for a newspaper sucks even more. I am not only in charge of the technical writings, but I have to be prepared to write any random story that comes my way. Which means, while everyone else is enjoying Homecoming week, I am doing homework, attening class, competing, and trying to cover an extra story on top of my usual 2-3 stories per week b/c I'm not married or heading out-of-town.

The newspaper used to run every other week since the town is BORING! However, we received a lazy editor who decides "hey, I'll wear a suit everyday, make the paper WEEKLY to waste more paper and create more stress, and hang out in the lounge with my SGA buddies and sweetheart while everyone else does the work". Now, we have this new girl who makes Avril Lavigne's skater image look like a caffinated cheerleader and she doesn't understand that you can't follow the "inverted pyramid" with certain abstract stories and the most experience she's had was a class in Beginner's Journalism (which she took WITH THE EDITOR).

I remember one time I was told to write 2-3 articles during finals week and one of the articles were assigned to me last-minute. I worked almost all night on the story and submitted it to the editor. Three days later, he sends an e-mail saying "Oh, by the way, we're not having another issue until next semester". And he forgot to send in our stories so I could compete for my first journalism contest. Oh, and the pay is only $3.25 an hour and it's not the lowest-paying position.

Don't get me wrong, both jobs have their perks, but it seems as though the secondary position is getting worse and worse every year. Frankly, the new editor is intimidating and I have the feeling if I were to disobey her she would pull an inverted pyramid out her butt and use it as a chakram. I don't like to be pushed when I know what I'm doing with a story.

FELIPE NO
