Do you hate your job?

*Samhain* · 02-24-2011, 06:57 PM

Im at a point in my life where I dont really know what I wanna do career wise. I am currently in a dead end job, (retail) and find myself hating every bit of it. Been there for 3 years now. I used to love it. Had a bunch of friends, all the managers were cool, but now its all a bunch of A holes that work there. Not the same at all.

The actual work isnt really a big deal to me. Not too hard on my mind or body. Its just the enviorment/people around me make it suck.

So, do you hate your job?

**Venom** · 02-24-2011, 07:05 PM

Not hate per se, but people make selling cars a lot harder on their end than what it really is.

*Powder* · 02-24-2011, 07:25 PM

I don't exactly have a real job, at least not a steady one. I guess you'd say I do freelance work. Sell a beat here, a design there, an album cover here, some audio mixing there. Etc. I love music & art, and they do get me some dough once in a while, so no. I do not hate my job.

Nope, I have a great job. Making amazing money for a recent college graduate, and I have a wonderful work environment. Going on a ski trip on the company's dime next weekend.

*Hannah* · 02-24-2011, 10:06 PM

I hate my job. But I do what I have to. I'll be finding a (hopefully) better job in April.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 02-24-2011, 10:50 PM

i like working at one of my two jobs, the one at the Dollar Store. lots more to do

my other job at a Spa/Resort Hotel is boring as sh*t cause all i do is stand at the door and be a "people greeter". my posistion is called "Bellman" but i'm pretty much the hotel b*tch!

**Jester** · 02-24-2011, 11:08 PM

Not anymore, I used to hate my old job, so I applied for my current one, and I don't work there anymore.

*jeff the cheff* · 02-25-2011, 12:05 AM

My job is kind of sh*tty and I don't make a lot of money, but besides my job I am also interning in an industry that I am passionate about. The fact that I will eventually get out of my job and do what I really want to do makes it less shi*ty, so I'm pretty much indifferent to my job.

*Luzmagica* · 02-25-2011, 12:54 AM

I dont actually hate my two jobs...

.... just I prefer have enough money for not work again in the rest of my life!

This is kind of a job. Since I am a professional swimmer as I have to go to swim meets, marathons, pratice and make my boss pround. However People always say I am doing something wrong when I am swimming and I have to start over again until I get it right. Sometimes being a swimmer sucks

deadpoolRKO · 02-25-2011, 07:54 AM

my job is a PBX operator , i answer about 500 calls per 8 hour shift. bleh. lol. luckily the people are cool so it makes it tolerable. but i'm going to college in fall so that's what i keep telling myself everyday to get through

*ToTheNines* · 02-25-2011, 10:23 AM

I hate the fact that I'm still making minimum wage after 2 years, but overall I love my job. Moral of the story... never work a State job. Go Federal or private.

Lynn · 02-25-2011, 10:36 AM

The job I did have I used to love. I currently don't have one.

Buddy, "professional" means you get paid to do it. What are you, in high school? Junior high?

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 02-25-2011, 02:57 PM

The last job I had, I wound up hating with my whole heart. I paid the price for what I first thought was a stable job. It was a nightmare getting up in the mornings because I would have to face the monotony of my daily grind. The people were nice and friendly and the pay was decent, which is why I lasted as long as I did (nearly four years), but even that wasn't enough in the end. I started to suffer from stress and burnout.

I didn't think it was possible to feel that way, especially at such a young age (I was under the impression that it would take 10+ years in a stagnant career before that happened), but when it becomes clear that their are no opportunities for advancement, and you are over-worked but your real skills are under-utilized, it's inevitable that depression will set in.

I'm currently unemployed, and while I am looking for work, I know that I'd rather remain unemployed than take another job like that just for a regular paycheck. The money's not worth my sanity.

Not exactly but still it is hard to do because I have almost drowned and I don't like swimming so I don't have a job yet but it is very tiring. Well That's it

*discordiatookie* · 02-25-2011, 04:54 PM

I'm in retail, selling carpets for a living. Although I don't hate it, I don't particularly like it. Its boring. When we're busy its okay, i'm on commission, and the money is pretty decent so its not all bad. Before I got into retail I worked in a hotel, as a porter and barman. Best job I ever had, I must say! I was there for seven years, the only reason I left was because it was minimum wage and even working six days a week, I couldn't afford to live anymore!

Um, don't you think it's time for a "career change"?
