I hate my job!! And here is why...

[shiny_74469]

Feel free to tell me why you hate your job... here are some of my reasons...

I'm working in a reception at the moment and almost every day I deal with the following gobshites...

People asking for money, for charities... now I support charities in every way possible but I can't stand them coming in here asking for money... all else aside no-one else in the building gets caught with this AND they earn more than me!!

People asking for directions, usually to the family planning clinic or the social welfare office or to some place which used to be around here but has moved!!! I am useless at giving directions anyway and it's really not my job!!

People ringing up looking for taxis, couriers, doctors, tennis clubs, etc... You're paying for the call, dial the bloody right number... AND if you ring back again don't be so bloody rude and just hang up, yes you are stupid but just say "sorry me again"!!

People asking me if they can use the bathroom... this is not McDonald's!! It's a company!! Would you walk into central bank and ask that?! Just coz I look friendly - I'm not!!

School kids.

[birdbath]

i hate my job due to the fat idiot behid me who spends half the day laughing like dr. fuckin hibberd

[TheFunkeyGibbon]

I hate my job because


Our users think I'm lower than them and that they can abuse my good nature.
It's not chanlenging is the slightest
It's repetative
We have not cash to do anything constructive


There are more but you really don't need to hear more of my whining. At least I have a job, eh? :)

[Griffin]

Shiney, you're not my SO are you ?

[shiny_74469]

I doubt it Griffin... :D Why u ask?

[Drifter2]

# People asking for money, for charities... now I support charities in every way possible but I can't stand them coming in here asking for money... all else aside no-one else in the building gets caught with this AND they earn more than me!!

My handbag's in the staffroom. Sorry!

# People asking for directions, usually to the family planning clinic or the social welfare office or to some place which used to be around here but has moved!!! I am useless at giving directions anyway and it's really not my job!!

I'm from Kerry. Sorry!

# People ringing up looking for taxis, couriers, doctors, tennis clubs, etc... You're paying for the call, dial the bloody right number... AND if you ring back again don't be so bloody rude and just hang up, yes you are stupid but just say "sorry me again"!!

Be rude to them first time around.

# People asking me if they can use the bathroom... this is not McDonald's!! It's a company!! Would you walk into central bank and ask that?! Just coz I look friendly - I'm not!!

It's out of order.

[shiny_74469]

Oh and I forgot these two...
Can you tell me where my doctor/dentist/chiropodist is? NO!! Do you think I know who your doctor/dentist/chiropodist is? There's millions of them around here!!!!
Can I use your phone? I'm on my way to an interview/meeting and I blah blah blah... I DON'T CARE!! Get a friggin mobile you weirdo!!

[Griffin]

Same reasons she gives out about

[shiny_74469]

really? I feel her pain!! :(

[Homer]

I DON'T hate my job. Actually I quite like it...

* I program robots [how cool is that?]
* I'm pretty much my own boss in here ['cept for fuckface, with whom I've recently called a truce]
* It's within walking distance of home
* flexible working hours
* I'm learning loads
* I can be REALLY busy at times near deadlines but I actually enjoy that sort of pressure 'cos it's not that often

Of course, there are things I'd like [more money for a start - I had to take a pay CUT to get this job] but this job IS secure.

[machara]

I hate my job because

1. My boss undermines me in front of the guys who report to me.
2. He does not support me in discipline problems
3. He says "I totally agree" every fuppin 2 mins.
4. He totally agrees with everyone, then ignores everyone
5. Thinks he can do my job better than I can (if he wants my job he can have it)
6. I HATE BPR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7. I cant make ends meet at the end of the month

[Griffin]

Actually I like my job:

It pays me what I need
It's fairly flexible timewise
We have a great social club
People (for the most part) are nice
Most importantly - I'm working

[jess]

Have to say I really like my job as well. Moved from a direct competitor to be here but it is the best move I ever made.

People are great, boss is a star, money good, right in town.... I don't even dread Mondays! I think of myself as one of the lucky ones :)

Sorry for pising anyone off... :D

[Maurice Hickey]

I like my job, but HATE:
1. This shitehole of an excuse for a town, even if the Guinness is good here
2. The age profile of our staff: Minority under 40
3. The fact that there's probably a lower percentage of men in a fucking Buddhist Monastery than there is here

[CEO]

I hate my job cos....
I work with some of the stupidest people ever to lose out on the Darwin Awards.
They think I'm here to help them do complicated stuff like printing and faxing.
They wouldn't give me a pay raise when I wanted one.

I like my job cos....
They pay me too much for what I do, cos they don't understand it.
I have lots of free time to P45, email, chat on the phone, etc.
I get free drugs (no, I'm not kidding).
I'm temping, so I can leave with practically no notice if something more attractive comes up (or if I suddenly inherit shitloads of money).

But you know, there is a reason they call it "work" and not "fun".

Hee hee, very good BB

I have to say that I actually LIKE my job, I cant really complain.. I work with really nice people and never walk out after a days work pissed off or anything. . . .the only complaint Id have is the distance. . .its feckin miles away from where I live.. .. .

[cailín]

have to admit to loving my jobs too!! :D
because I work 2 different jobs I dont spend enough of the week in either to get bored! its all really interesting (I think it is anyway!!!) :D

[Seamus O'Monstersuit]

I love my job and everything about it, from the smalest staple to the biggest server. I'm happier and happier every single day.

God bless work!



Got that RockyRoader???

Sweet!

[dr_bob]

People asking me if they can use the bathroom... this is not McDonald's!! It's a company!! Would you walk into central bank and ask that?! Just coz I look friendly - I'm not!!
[/B][/QUOTE]woah!!, easy there...I was that soldier..I've a dodgy digestive system at the mo...I've got caught short between getting off the bus and getting in to work (and its only a ten minute walk!!)...I've had to rely on the kindness of reception based strangers a few times ,otherwise I might possibly exploded(and believe me you wouldnt want that on your conscience , or walls desk floors etc for that matter;) )...so go easy on those people looking to use your company's facilities...the next one might be me:)

[shiny_74469]

surprisingly people telling me how great their jobs are doesn't bother me and I really thought it would... shows me at least that there's some hope out there!!

and dr_bob it doesn't bother me as much as the others and I would never refuse someone use of our bathroom! I once had to stop off on my way home to run in here and get sick!! :eek: (not hungover or pregnant just sick)

[PinkNFluffy]

- My boss uses my name at the start and end of every sentance while addressing me. I'm assuming she took some course that implied she had to involve, reassure and oh yeah, patronise me at every turn

- One of the guys working for me questions or argues every instruction I give him. Dare he bring down the wrath of Fluffy?!?

- My boss also plaguerises all my work, emails, suggestions and ideas.. But wait, not since I complained about her to her boss providing evidence of said discretion.

- All the other departments use my department as a whipping post. Sales get all the glory, money, employee awards but we're the ones who take the shit from customers when they were sold the wrong solution.. Gloves off next time someone fucks up.

[shiny_74469]

fair play to ya PNF - how'd ya catch her out? :D

Firstly, her boss, who used to my old boss recognised one of "her" emails as being mine.. the language, style, with heavily loaded although well disguised sarcasm etc.. Then, we were in a meeting and I suggested something for the department. At the next meeting, with one of the guys from the first meeting, she announced a proposal she had for us.. MY proposal! Everyone in the room knew it was me and they all were grinning and waiting for a reaction. I didn't give them one but went right to the big boss straight after the meeting and said I'd resign the very next time she passed off my work as her own.

Also, she does it with other people and they complained when I did.. As the boys would say.. Sweet!

Now, everything I mail her gets CCed to the Big Boss.

[birdbath]

have complained and got a new desk upstairs away from fat boy and his inane fuckin guffaw

[shiny_74469]

wish i could move my desk upstairs... would sorta defeat the purpose though...

[ember]

I hate my job -

- cos the work is incredibly boring and tedious
- my boss works from home in Spain and is never her to help me when the boring and tedious work gets complicated and hard and then talks to me like I'm stupid for making mistakes. Ember - 2 years experience, Monkey Head Boss (and he smells like one too) - 12 years experience. That's why I don't appear as clever as you!!
- no one talks casually to each in the office, or socialises with each other or have any personalities (well there's one or two with personalities)
- they all listen to my phone calls. Ok, I've stopped talking quietly now, live vicariously if you want to, boring fuckers!!
- cos I was supposed to do this for a year and then go somewhere exciting and sunny and every passing day here reminds me I'm treading water. (ok, that's my fault and not the job's but hey)
- we have pay freezes for the forseeable future.
I could go on and, and on, but sure, it pays the bills and as CEO says that's why it's called work!

[birdbath]

it's only for a few weeks until they sort out the bombsite that is my team area. The fuckers are trying to slyly promote me without giving me an area to work in properly. I can't think straight for the fat boy's non-stop wheezing which heralds yet another bout of 'hilarity' involving a stapler. I want to kill this man. It's as though somebody took the body of the comic book store guy (he bears an uncanny resemblance - pony tail, shorts and all) the personality of David Brent from the office and the social charm of genghis khan and has molded it all together in one unholy trinity of fat evil.

The cunt.

[pooka]

I don't so much hate my job as the environment, which I suppose amounts to the same thing. I work in a small company with a boss that has to be involved in *everything* because he always knows better. He is the managing director and although he is very clever business-wise, when it comes to dealing with people he has no skills and is basically an idiot. He employed another guy (the idiot's idiot) as management who is a variation on the same theme i.e. no people skills, hugely arrogant. Neither of them can ever be wrong, they just shift the goalposts - like the rest of the world they both make mistakes regularly but unlike mature adults, they never admit to their mistakes. They never apologise even when confronted with proof of being arseholes. What must they be like to live with??...

I should have got out of here when the economy was better and jobs were more readily available. I still keep my eyes open for alternative jobs, but they are few and far between by comparison. In the meantime I'll just cultivate a few ulcers as my morale drops further and further - the alternative is to become as cynical and arrogant as they are, which is "simply unacceptable" as they might say.

[birdbath]

'So, fat boy have you seen the share price?'

(great wheezing intake of breath) a haa haaa ha (wheez) a haa haaaa hah haaaa (whoops, slaps hand off desk)

'No seriously, were probably going bankrupt...'

(whoosing sound of laughter, followed by prolonged belly laughing and more put-on gasping for air)

'But fat boy, small children are going to die horribly without our help...'

(Great foghorn of a laugh, more sucking in of air, slapping of thighs, squinting, gasping and pretending that everything is oh so fuckin funny)


Where's my napaplm when i need it?

[Maurice Hickey]

The 40 year old virgin keeps coming in here and looking for solutions to insane little problems which aren't worth mulling over: Just fix the fucking thing and get out of my office! She refuses to stand up for herself against anyone except our boss, who happens to be trying to help. Next thing she's probably going to do is go to the assembly line and wipe the arses of all the crowd below there. What a fucking disaster zone

[ember]

...and the guy beside me keeps clearing his throat every 30 seconds, COUGH, drink some water, choke for all I care, just stop making that pathetic "ahem" sound!

[shiny_74469]

what's that phrase... thank heaven for small mercies? I am not surrounded by any colleagues, laughing or coughing!! :D

[WhackyYank18]

Actually, I quite like my job because:
1. They let me do more things than I have done at Wendy's.
2. Far more hours.
3.I'm paid more ( I have gotten two raises in the year I have worked at Culver's).
4.My bosses actually care about me.
5.They didn't screw about my taxes like old what's their names did.

The one thing I don't like about my job:
Doing drive thru, because usually I get stuck on there alone while somebody else is on break.

[shiny_74469]

oh and I hate the people who ask me where the parking disc thingummy is and then give out to ME that there isn't one closer!! Yes it is ridiculous, and in the RAIN!! Shocking, but not my responsibility!!!!!!

[Spider Woman]

I've been trying to get a new job since earlier this year and still looking. One place emailed me and said I've too much experience - you can't win!

[shiny_74469]

oh yeah I'm either overeducated or under experienced or something everywhere!!!

[shiny_74469]

Oh did I mention the window cleaner... he's singing outside at the moment... oh no he's in doing the inside... would he ever SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!! He's such a chatterbox and very annoying!!

[Sheila Feelit]

Today I love my job cos I've a gang of gorgeous Scottish businessmen in the boardroom next door and I'm being brought out to lunch for staying here yesterday when everyone else was at the launch. Yeay me.... :D

Plus other than answering the phone when it rings I get to play on the net all day. Pity it's only till the end of the week... still that's temping for you. Next job will prolly be quare nasty to make up for this one!

[shiny_74469]

that's pretty much what I do... boring as hell!!

[Kahaya]

I hate my job because:

* At the moment I'm trying to code for website changes and have to complete the relevant documentation before doing so.
* Problem here is those that want the changes have been told that they must give me the information required for the document and I've been waiting since last week for the information and the boss will be on my back in a few minutes. Fuck them if they don't provide the info for the document.
* I've complete bored to death doing shit for other prople.

On the upside the food in the canteen for once is good and cheap.

[shiny_74469]

ok now we've a plumber in... he's as stupid as hell!! and every five minutes he goes outside to his van, comes back up to the door and rings the bell until he sees me pushing the buzzer even though I start to press it as soon as I see him walking back... THEN he leaves the door open!! Oh and btw GET A FRIGGIN WATCH... every five minutes he's like "oh um what time is it there?"

[shiny_74469]

well now this just takes the biscuit... the plumber's mother just came in looking for him... apparently she needs him to lift something... :mad:

[shiny_74469]

OMG!! This guy shouldn't be let out!! He just left, came back for his phone, asked me to ring it coz he couldn't find it, walked out, left the door open THEN walked straight past his mother's Mitsubishi Pajero then walked back and was all "oh hi didn't see you there"

[anolivia]

yeah but just think how bored you'd be shiny if he hadn't visited you!

[bear]

i just made 17 round towers out of kitchen rolls, and cardboard.

I feel creative.

[anolivia]

mmm... now paint 'em.

[shiny_74469]

bored ... I'm flippin' homicidal... :D

[shiny_74469]

and now I just had someone in who when told the boss was at a funeral said: "oh anyone famous? or a relation?" FFS!!

not to mention the fact that due to holidays, late shifts & afore mentioned funeral I am on my own in here... had to get a courier to collect something around the corner because I can't leave to walk around and get it and I'll either have to order in lunch or switch on the answering machine to go out and get a flippin sandwich!! :rolleyes:

[montagne]

Ohhh, I bet the courier feckin loved you for that!! Our mouthy company rant and rave at us if we ash them to get / deliver something to D2 cos "it's only down the bleedin row-ad". YOU'RE GETTING PAID TO DO IT RAT BOY!!!
