I used to hate my job when I used to work where several members of this board work at now. I like my job now .... sooo relaxing.
I don't do anything, so I assume I'll be getting some general labor job (I've heard the name 'Sweeper' in terms of entry level). As far as pay ...at least 10/hr so I can pay off my stupidass car (it's so stuuupid!). Not expecting the job to be fun, I know it'll be long gruelling days
My friends are doing contract work now. We hang out with the person that contracts them and consider him a friend, but he tends to low ball my friends on things like mileage and stuff (totally unintentional I say, but the friends dont want to think so...) I see how it gets frustrating for them. That sucks, man. Hope better things come along for you
nobody has done it yet?? ok ill bite: peter: " i don't like my job..so i don't think im gonna go anymore" joanna: " so your gonna quit then"? peter: " no im just not gonna show up" joanna: "wont you get fired then"? peter: "i dont know but i really dont like my job, so i dont think im gonna go anymore
I hated my old job. Switched jobs and not liking this new one that much either. Only good thing is that I got the hours that I wanted. I hated working evenings.
I swear the only thing that keeps me sane at my job is the internet, and clutchfans in particular. I remember one day when the internet went down at the office.... Wow, longest, most boring work day of my life. I don't hate my job, because the pay's good, good opportunities for advancement, and let me live pretty comfortably. But 9-6 on weekdays sucks big time.
I hate my job right now. Really boring and routine stuff. Good thing it's only 20 hours a week. And a new project will kick start soon, hopefully that will bring some excitements. If not, I have 2 other job offers that I plan to make good use of.
below me.... me? i don't "hate" my job but wish I worked somewhere else, the benefits are worth staying alone, would be the perfect job if i wasn't on the phones all day totally out of the subject, but I salute you to those who has done telemarketing. I did a special projects to make outbound calls to our customers for them to SAVE money. Most calls were ok, others were like I was trying to scam them, oh well, whatever...
I love almost all aspects of my jobs. Weekends off. Holidays off. Pays really well. Short hours. Lots of cool people. The only thing I absolutely hate is dealing with 15 freakin biatches!!!!!!!! I own 8 coffee shops and dealing with the girl employees is mind numbing. These chicks have more appointments with doctors and lawyers then humanely possible. Always looking for ways to call in sick or ask for off!!!!!! I swear if it wasn't so hard to find employees in downtown, I would fire every single one of them tomorrow.
I did not really enjoy my job when I was a lawyer and also when I was a strategy consultant. Now that I am back in the internet business and in a more entrepreneurial role, I love my job.
My job is the worst thing in my life right now. I love sleeping just as much as the next guy, but I dread it now because I know the next thing I have to do after that is get up to go to work. Not to mention it's a 45 minute commute to a job that pays me what I would guess is right around the 10th percentile of most college graduates get. Hell, probably lower. Problem is, I couldn't move any closer if I wanted to because I get paid so little. Let me put it this way. The original poster was complaining about only having $2,000 a month after paying for a handful of things. Yeah, I don't even sniff $2,000 pre tax. I was hired to do data entry and handle all matters pertaining to donations we receive online. Somehow I've been required to go represent our organization at agency fairs, publish our organization's monthly e-newsletter, and even create a building layout so they could post them up to comply with OSHA. Then there's the vacation time, or lack there of. After 6 months we get 1 personal day off, 1 day within a month of our birthday, and no sick times. Yeah, we accrue sick time but we can't use it until 1 year. Lovely. We get a whopping 4 1/2 holidays too. July 4th, Thanksgiving Day, Xmas Day, New Year's Day, and half day on Xmas Eve. I can't even use my 1 personal day because I'm saving it so I don't have to come in the day after Thanksgiving. In the 10 months I've been here, I've had 2 days off (birthday and July 4th). Ugh. I went to lunch yesterday with one of my co-workers and she told me I needed to move on to a new job because I don't get paid nearly enough. That's before she knew that I make less than she does! When she found that out she looked appalled that anyone could be paid so little for anything more than flipping patties. To top that off, we have a diabetic 16 year old cat that lives in our office and requires insulin shots 10 to 12 hours apart. That means someone has to come in 30 minutes before their regular time and then someone has to stay late to give the shot at night. We're expected to do this off the clock, and if we are unable to "volunteer" our services then the cat will be put up for adoption or put to sleep. It's been here for 12 years and that's how the big wigs decide to deal with it. I guess it just falls in line with how they treat their employees.
Find a construction or maintenance company that's at a refinery, and get a job as a helper. Electrician helper is best, but you can be a pipefitter helper, welder's helper, machinist/mechanic helper, boilermaker helper. It's physical labor and long days, but it's not hard. And if you're thinking of getting a career trade, you'll get a look at it.
You can start you out as a general helper, a laborer, a gopher. You know what a gopher is, boy? Well, I suppose it means you go for things. Or it could mean you're an animal... anyone get that reference?
