The "I hate my job" thread

[Rallye James]

Well Lacey saw it coming and I fancied a moan as well ::)

I work as Admin Assistant (aka Office Monkey :( ) in a solicitors firm. Just do exactly the same every day, Monday to Friday, 8:30 til 5:00 :( Its just so tedious I nealy fall asleep at my desk sometimes. As for the pay - it's rubbish (£5.25 an hour I think it is) and not enough to clear my debts, my overdraft and to fund work on my car. Trouble is I'm doing a Lands End to John O Groats run at the end of March and that'll make me even more skint :(

Just can't wait until October to start training as a driving instructor :)

OK rant over!

[mikey_b]

im a technical engineer for quite a big IT firm in the midlands, always moaning about my job but i get it quite easy.
in the office for about half a day a week on average,the rest of the time im out and about on my own agenda!

some long days, some short days just depends how it all goes :)

now for example ive had a local job this mornin so ill take my lunch at half 10 and go to my next job at 1-2pm, finish that then come home!

pay is alright!

[Lacey]

Well Lacey saw it coming and I fancied a moan as well ::)



Lol!

Well..... I'm a medical secretary for the NHS. I'm sat at work in my coat cos we currently have no heating.... again! Oh and i'm not a good people person and yet i have to deal with sick people everyday. I work 8-4 and that means getting up at six and sitting in the wonderful traffic... my favourite part of the day! oh and everyone i work with is old.... im the only yound one... and i get pervy people telling me my skirt is too short.... im like 'you're 60, u shouldnt look!' yeah so.... that little rant will do for now altho im sure i'll have more to say as people piss me off further throughout the day.

[Rallye James]

I work 8-4 and that means getting up at six and sitting in the wonderful traffic... my favourite part of the day!

Ditto that one! :(

I get up at 6 and leave the house at 7, which means I get into work about 7:45 (I don't start til 8:30), but if I left at 7:30, I'd sit in traffic and be late in >:( Just can't win

I'd rather be sat in the office on the tinterweb than stuck in the car in traffic though ;)

SAME AS! Although I get up at six, leave at 7, then i'm only stuck in traffic for half an hour instead of 50 minutes like if i leave at half 7.... journey should only take 15 mins max.... grrr! so i get into work at half seven and then everyone else rolls in at about 20 past 8..... who says the NHS is going down hill eh???!

[mikey_b]

guess im lucky if i have to go to the office its only a 15min drive through backroads.
get stuck behind the odd school bus though :)

traffic does my head in though, especially in the mornings.

[Shell]

i'm a superviser in m n s on the moter way, tis shit at this time of year cause people don't travel so there is **** all for me to do, and i cant give the assistant's any jobs cause there aint any at the mo, but to make the days even longer the general manager has decided that we should open 45mins earlier than 8 and shut half an hour later than 10 so the day is twice and long and as a superviser we don't have enough time to get the paoerwork done fuckin shite like

and i'm on lates this week so 3 till 11 :'(

[Jimbo]

i work at sainsbury's full time, stacking shelves >:( i fucking hate it, haha

the pay is shit, managers are wankers, and most of the people that work there are complete tossers :-\

That sounds a bit crap really - glad I never had a job like that. Closest I had was working in a shop on the local Haven holiday camp. The managers there were all into this "team" stuff and all "happy clappy". Drove me nuts! >:(

But I did get to take home the leftovers (sausage rolls and other savories) from the bakery every night ;D

[Fuzzy Orange]

Im trying hard to shake the image of Lacey in a nurses uniform now LOL that's not gonna help me concentrate today

I'm a web developer
Nothing massively wrong with my job except its close to minimum wage, under appreciated blah blah

Been doing e-commerce sites for 6 years now and could write one in my sleep

I could take a £10 a week pay cut and shelf stack in tescos - its starting to look tempting!

I'm going to take a long slow walk and have a fag.... cos i cant do that here either! grrr!

[Raz]

That's what I was thinking - or going back to the holiday camp. It was decent pay, I just couldn't stand their "everyone here loves their job" attitude

I loved my first job the best - working for a classic Jaguar restoration company. All I did all day was cover E-types, XKs and even the odd D-type in layers and layers of wax. Hmmmmm, drool! 8)

[Fuzzy Orange]

I got really sick of IT a year ago and got a job car valeting

Best thing I ever did - just stood around getting sun burnt washing and waxing cars
Every so often got a detailing job which I loved

Hours were good, people were all a great laugh
Come and go when you want

And I lost 3 stone in 6 months and started to look REALLY fit

Now I'm back to suffering back aches from sitting around all day and not very happy with my body cos i've lost a lot of the muscle I used to have :(

[Lacey]

god ur such a bunch of girls.... well between u and me (ahem...) I am leaving my job and im takin a bit of a risk.... heading accross the water to good ol Ireland... My dad is from there and i have family there too, so major lifestyle change AND hopefully get a better job with more money! woohoo!

lol... just talking about the way you look... and worrying wot people think, thats what girls do!!! be proud of ur femininity fuzz!!!! hehe

[Fuzzy Orange]

LOL what?

Im not feminine at all, the rumours about my operation are all lies!

[Quiksilver_TR]

I dont hate my job just my current boss, he is a complete twat. not long left now and I shall have a new boss.

nothing wrong with caring how you look, I spend about 6hours a week in the gym and have put on nearly 2stone in 6months, you might have guesed i am trying to bulk out!

[Lacey]

oh dear i seem to have hit a raw nerve here! lol.... all i mean is, blokes don't need to worry as much as girls cos girls aren't as shallow and can see the inner beauty... lol, cheesy or what??! but blokes just see tits, arse, legs..... and then they notice the real stuff. see what im getting at??!


Anyway, this is hate your job thread....... back on topic: people really annoy me at work when they use my phone to call someone.... use your own! or they look over my shoulder at what i'm doing, or they don't know how to work the security system.... grr! if i've buzzed come in! for god sake!!!!!! ARGH!

[Quiksilver_TR]

or they look over my shoulder at what i'm doing


I know what you mean about this, bloody annoying!

[Lacey]

or they look over my shoulder at what i'm doing


I know what you mean about this, bloody annoying!


especially when i'm on here and i should be working.... like write now, when i have a mountain of patient notes to get through!

[Rallye James]

I sit in the corner with my back to the wall, so I don't usually get the "looking over the shoulder" problem. I just hate it when someone is trying to talk to me when I'm trying to read something on here :D

[foster-12]

i dont really hate my job even though its up at 5.40 everyday to get a shower and in for 7 but i finish at 3 and at 12 on fri. I do hate mondays though as its college and i have to be here at 8 and finish at 7.15, its also the biggest dump in the world next to a nucular power plant. O and to make things worse no girls come here, well exept one who i think is a skank that is a lacoste sponser as she always has here trakkie on.

[Lacey]

lol... i know! god, why do people try and bother you with work when your trying to read posts on here... or whilst im emailing my mate about how much he hates his boss........ or emailing the cute guy in finance! hehe... i was joking about the last bit..... ::)

Also...... when i'm away people change my office around, and start moving things, then when i come back i can't find anything! grrrrr! annoys me greatly!

[Fuzzy Orange]

You've REALLY dated the wrong men

I care a lot more about whether I can talk to a woman and get on with her, than how she looks

BUT the problem is - when you chat women up on a night out unless your fairly decent looking they turn you down and never get to know if you're a nice guy
I live with a bloke who's really fit but treats women like shit - and he pulls 10x as often as me

*sigh* anyhooo... back on topic

[Jimbo]

hahaha! a nice girl then, yeah? :P

it's the same with my college mate, no girls at all :-\

digress off topic once again..... well yes, twats like me tend to date the nob heads cos they're cocky and exciting, even though you know you shouldn't... lol but its just fun... anyway, having been with the last bloke, im steering clear of men altogether for a while and when i get round to looking for someone next time im gonna be a bit more careful and maybe go for someone who is kind and not a psycho??! thats always good, so if your looking for a girl go for the crazy messed up chicks who have had a shit of a boyfriend!

back on topic..... update on the heating..... still none..... ooh and we have a gas leak! fun fun fun!

[pugginquik]

Ok i also hate my job, im only paid £5.50 ph and work part time :P ive had no money since leaving uni.

I've worked there over 5 years now part time, in that time we've had 25+ managers and still the place is poop only stayed while i was at uni n sixth form, cos its literally 5 mins from home!

The only decent thing about it is cheap booze lots of freebies and good social events.

Ill be seriously glad to leave, but if i said im looking forward to the rat race.....

Might take up a position with my Italian heritage - commission based pay, variety of locations, company car ... ;D

[hugh_106]

I'm at Uni at the moment and I lost the job I had in the holidays because the place shut. Can't afford to work during term because I'm in my third year and believe it or not I do have a lot of work.

When i leave I'm scarred shitless I'm not gona get a good job (don't even have a clue what I want to do), as my girlfriend wants to rent a house and I need some serious money (well okish money) to be able to afford that when she'll be at Uni for another year. Scared, scared, scared.

[rich106quiksilver]

i work at sainsbury's full time, stacking shelves >:( i fucking hate it, haha

I work in Sainsburys and have to say its not too bad. Stick in out Jimbo and when your 18 you should notice a good pay rise.

I'm on 6.50 an hour on customer services and it so easy! Get a few arsey customers but who cares, i'm in it for the money! Most of the staff are nice too and manager is chilled. Could always be somewhere worse I guess

I do only work 2 days a week though lol cos in final year of uni.

[Lacey]

jobs suck... i should've just got pregnant at 16 and got a house and live off benefits..... silly messed up world it is!

[foster-12]

the m n s i work its is on the moterway and i work for two company's moto and m n s simply food, it is so hard because there are so many rules and to many shit stirers that blab >:(

yesterday was a f****** shite day after 5 mins of being in i got called to the general managers office from then on the shift went shit :'(

cause my manager is away for three months and there is four supervisers but ang is now acting manager so it leaves me, jules n lucy, and cause i made a mistake on fri me n ang got shit all day 6 bollockings in his office, then the mystery shop report came in over the weekend and i was the one who served up n got 74% which is shit so the three of us got pulled, but then one of the other supervisers gave me a right gobful saying i did **** all this has got jack to do with me n its all your fault so between arguing between our selves i get the shit off everyone ready for walking now like.

[Fuzzy Orange]

Todays mood : Utter despair

I actually feel like killing everyone in my office, chopping them up into little bits and burying them!

[Rallye James]

I'm actually almost happy today - the two people that drive me mad (m.d and account manager) are both out ;D so it's quite relaxed and the office is silent. Still busy though :(

[Shell]

[Fuzzy Orange]

I know that feeling

They've just banned MSN at work - even though the only person I had on it that wasn't work related was a mate of mine who's a web developer and helped me out with code I got stuck on

Everyone here is de-motivated to the point of walking out!!

[Rallye James]

I was having a bad day earlier, I felt like giving someone a slap, I almost told the account manager to stop being a dick and I kept being given something different to do every minute - so I couldn't get anything done. So then a secretary organised all my work for me into order and we chucked a load of unneccessary papers in the bin.

Ahhh, relief ;D I feel much better now

..and I have msn too :P

[Lacey]

i'm just waiting for work to block this website.... then i walk! lol

Poor James is having a bad day me thinks.... lol things aren't much better here to be honest! You could cut the atmosphere in my office with a knife... we all hate eachother!

[Rallye James]

Lunchtime is a welcome relief - Thank God!! ;D

I had to send a memo round to every solicitor in the firm today asking them for an update on all the work they are doing. Usually, we ask for this back in the next two weeks. This one needs to be done by the end of the day :o So as you can imagine I had some rather pissed off solicitors on the phone to me this morning :(

Oops lol :D

[Quiksilver_TR]

Oh well. Off home now.
Half day on a Friday!
Go and do some bits on the car.

Will soon be monday morning though and have to do all this crap again!!!

all ready done that hun and all we got were 2 sad pathetic excuses of heaters behind the tills which is usless as i don't do much till work i stock the fridges but i can't even wear gloves, i'm tempted to go in in a hat scarf and gloves and do my work like that haha

ive started looking else where as i love the warm too much

[emtec69]

bit late but just noticed this thread.


i work in a call center for helping children with maths and English.

i work 2 to 8.30 with a lunch and a tea brake.

i don't really like it, i seem too have it easy really don't have too get up to about 12.30, 5.40 and hour and £10 if i get a sale and have Wednesday off.:)

But who really enjoys there job when your young?

[sexy_gt]

i must have one of the best easiest jobs ever & i hate it!!!
im a receptionist at the vets a 10min walk away.
its great as i dont have to drive.
the work is easy, i can go it whilst sleeping. but im not appreciated & i deserve a better job with better pay. i asked my boss for a payrise but he said no as im the highest paid receptionist hes got. my argument was that im the best hes got & im worth more.
im on £6.50 an hour, but i want more as i do enough work for 3 people!!!!
the hours arent too bad, 8.30 - 6.30 tues-fri but we dont get brakes or lunchtimes. you have to eat whilst working, so its a case of grabbing a bite of a sandwich every now and then and my brake is when i spend 2 mins having a wee.
ive applied for a few jobs lately, but havent heard anything back, but the dealines were last Friday for most of them. so plenty time yet.

[Fuzzy Orange]

Man that sucks

I only work 9-5.30

[Andy c]

well i love my job lol im a part time welder and metal fabricator (until i finish college then full time), good fun lol £7.50 an hour not bad for 16.:D

[Ste]

Man that sucks

I only work 9-5.30

phil you lucky man i'd give my right arm for normal hours i work a week of 6-3 then a week of 1-10 and i have to be up for 4.50 when i'm on 6-3

i spend most of my day sat on a forklift in the pissing rain or in a freezing cold warehouse on an order picker putting pallets away or picking boxes,i'm over worked under paid and treated like shit because i'm the youngest and my supervisor hates me :(

and to add insult to injury the job i applied for the other week was given to one of the companies own hgv drivers because the guy has been declared medically unfit to drive hgv's and because the greedy c**t wont retire even though he can afford not to work :mad:

Well gonna have a right fucking rant now :o :rolleyes:

need a new job probably like a lot of people lol, but sick to death of one rule for one and a totally fifferent for another. People beneath me not doing as i ask then when i tell them as i'm sick of waiting for a job to be done they get right bitchy with me. why should i have to do everything when i'm a superviser and allready have to make sure the shop runs smoothly with out them standing there doing sweet F A. :mad:

and to top it off me manager has been away for nearly 3months busy working, so the top superviser has been acting manageress and she has had it bad but because my manager didn't get the new job he wanted aparently he is coming back being a complete new guy mainly a b******. :eek:

he has allready put me on different shifts because i work roughly the same as ste week of 6-3 and week of 3-11. but now he has got me on opposite so i won't see much of ste as i work weekends and he don't :( :( And ive worked every bank holiday for the last 3years and overtime to get extra money as i get triple time but he has gave me some off so i won'd get it boohoo.

sorry for the rant gys and gals :o

[rich-gti]

well guys what can i say. my job on paper seems perfect

[pugginquik]

any chance of an application form? :D

what do you do then mate?

[Lacey]

Oh my god....... It took me about an hour to find this!!!

I hate my job sooooo much.

Basically, i'm sub-contracted to another company and I work for them and the company that pays me (obviously) the sub-contractors are sending most of our work out to India as they can do the work for haldf the price. But what they are findin out is that its half the quality.

I keep getting overlooked for all the good jobs even though I've done more work for all this Indian take over than anyone else. Its pisses me off.

I'm not coming back here after christmas end of, I'll temp in Blackpool if necessary until i get a contract cos i cannot stand the bitchiness that goes on and if your not up the bosses arse then you get nowhere. Pfft. What happened to getting rewarded for hard work?!

[mikel106]

im a heavy goods mechanic, work 6 til 3 mon - sat and on 24 hr breakdown....pay is good job is hard work! out last night from 10:30 til 1:30 fitting a clutch booster pack on a 44tonne truck on the side of the M1!!!!!scary shit laying underneath sumet so big!!!

[106_Andy]

I like my job, I just Hate the Government and scroungers!

[Mandyyy]

one thing that really gets up my nose is EMA

if you get ema just **** off, i have to work hard to get my money and go to college full time. Yet you get it fucking handed to you because you're parents are divorced/can't be arsed to work.

[*l3ah06*]

I hate my job too :(

[Rallye James]

Thread from the dead! :p

I love my job! :D

[Ste]

i havent got a job to love or hate so ner ner


but i'm enjoying college so all is well

[mikey_b]

i dont really mind my job either!

[Chris_429]

I hate my job, I must be on the lowest pay ever - £3.50 an hour :(
For that, I have to spend all of my weekend clearing out fish tanks (I work in a place called aquajardin which sells you the fish to put in your aquarium), I ahve to constantly get rid of dead, moulding fish, I have to clean the tanks some more, then clean out the system that it runs on, clean the tanks some more.... I hate it. And you get some proper assholes come in :(

Yet I have a friend who has a £9 an hour job doing basically **** all who moans that he has a hard job and no money :rolleyes:

I have this saturday off though, so going ice skating - woop!

[Marcs]

I found out the other day im on exactly minimum wage for my age!

That and i got payed yesterday ...

I did two over nightshifts over half term... I gotpayed time and a quarter for working 8 till 7am!
In Matalan i mean its not like its a bloody bar job! I think i need a new job!

[marinerpug]

because of work ... I can't go out in my the area I work without being wary, I only get two weekends off in 5 so my social life suffers. I work a varity of shifts which means my body clock's always wrong, I can never get time off when I want it, I'm put in dangerous, confrontational situations on a daily basis, I get no respect from the public despte doing a fucking difficult job, I'm not trusted to do my job by those in higher ranks who like to walk me through jobs despite me being more than capable of doing it and thinking for myself.

All that said though ... I still enjoy it (most of the time) and theres not another job I'd consider doing

[michaeLandaz]

I work in a warehouse at Comet doing the same stuff everyday :P

Bringing TV's and washing machines down and putting them in to peoples cars :P

I'm under 18 as well so it's only £4.60 an hour, when I turn 18 it goes up to £5.50 :D

[Wizza]

I hate my bar job coz I have to do a Saturday night and it pisses me off... Next time I go in their I'm telling him I'm quitting it in January...

As for my full time job, I am really enjoying it... Start on minium wage but to be honest this will go up after 3-5 months!!!

[ColeG106]

i hate my job because i have a load of two faced arseholes in my work , my supervisonr said to us at 5 to 5(i finishd at 5) we had to work till 7 last night and i joked with my journeyman that he could bite my sh*te and he went and told him , its good wages which is all that keeps me in it but seriously thinking of packing up and getting my old job in halfords back , oh btw im a security engineer , (fit burglar/fire alarms , cctv, nursecall , door entry and all that shit)

[Gina_G]

I work at demon tweeks need I say more?

there is job progression but it is hard

hours are normal tho 830-530

pay is reasonable for unskilled warehouse work at 15k a year but as always I need that bit more not for the cars but genuinely for a place of my own and clear my debts off

[F28MRC]

I work as a car mechanic, i dont hate my job tho

[Gregg_s]

i work at sainsbury's full time, stacking shelves >:( i fucking hate it, haha

the pay is shit, managers are wankers, and most of the people that work there are complete tossers :-\

need a new job ::)
Don't start me on sainsburys - i hate it

I work there part time on the checkouts and occassionally trolleys :o

Its boring as ****, hate all the managers and senior staff, nothing good about it and the pay isn't that great either but theres not many other jobs that i can do after college week nights for now so i have to stick it out :(

[GTi Andy]

Wow what a long thread!

I get to drive BMW's all day, access the net when i want, have a laugh with everyone at work, pretty much my own boss and the pay is alright

[Steve Saunders]

[Lacey]

Oh andy..... might see ya around in Preston mate, got a second interview with the North West Ambulance Service HQ on Garstang Road. Answering 999 calls. ;) I'd be taking a pay cut but it's working 12 hour shifts, with bonuses of 30 quid if your disturbed during your lunch, it suits me and getting 3 days off each week is good ;)

[mellowyellow]

I'm the office monkey working in a Coroners Court, I just input what people have died of all day on the computer, about 5000 people in Avon die a year. Pay is alright, got the internet and work with my dad, so get it pretty easy :D

[GTi Andy]

Oh andy..... might see ya around in Preston mate, got a second interview with the North West Ambulance Service HQ on Garstang Road.

Thats 1 minute from my house in Broughton (nice area of Preston :p)! Opposite the Marriot hotel where i go to the gym as well so you have a good chance of seeing me around. Let me know if you get it!!!

[Miikey]

Just read through this thread...

First thing, Rallye James :( feel sorry for you on £5.25 an hour. I do 12 hours a week at sainsburys, am under 18 and get £5.60 odd an hour. That goes up when im 18 and when i finish off my supervisor training.

Second thing Jimbo, must run in the company because my checkout manager is a ******

[Mandyyy]

i hate my job lol

working in a kitchen in a nursing home and having to force myself to smile and be nice to people that i really do depise. (my boss)

get a good gossip though

and the pay isn't bad - £5.70 and im only 17 and paid all my breaks



good job it's only one day a week

[Boyes]

Welcome Break Woodhall in KFC LOL!!
18 - £5.70 an hour wank you get your breaks when they feel like it, always understaffed, over worked. Last weekend they crammed 25 hours in 4 days when I have college on two of them days.. Not bad people alot of back chatting but you laugh at them fools.

I need an apprenticeship and to do my HNC next year so I don't have to put up with more customers!!

[aidy]

i hate my job cos i have to work all night and i hardly get to spend any time with my girlfriend, which sucks. i dont get paid enough to cover my past financial **** ups and we always get shit on by the rest of the company cos we're not there to defend ourselves.

HOWEVER, i'm lucky enough to work with a bunch of top lads, we have a really good laugh most of the time and their all salt of the earth working class hero's. i get to go early some times if i make my hours up on busy days and i never get in trouble with my supervisor. personell know i'mthe best on my shift which is why despite four or five warnings i still have a job. also the lads have now said they want me to be in charge. but obviously my supervisor would need to leave and i want a new job anyway, but for some reason i'd miss em and couldnt ask for a better bunch of lads

[Peter.H]

I hate my xmas job that I have to go back to collecting glasses in a club. its hot, crowded, dirty and badly paid. however they're a good bunch of guys and girls to sit with afterwards and have a few drinks on the house and thats what keeps me going back. and the poverty without it but thats a minor issue lol

[loudandproud205]

i just hate going to work.
factory work but 4 days of a week is good as am trying to start my audio bussiness again

[MattB106]

I didn't hate my job at the time of this thread, but over the year it got so bad i really wanted to keep on driving past work!I went an applied for another job (on the next pay scale up), which thankfully i got! Really like my job and the people i work with now as we have a good laugh. I dont think i could ever stay in a job i hated. It's just not worth it. Although sometimes difficult to see a way out.

As for everyone saying about Sainsbury's, well i did 5 years there working customer services (last couple of years as a supervisor). Taught me a lot, but working with lots of idiots and kids who couldnt give a **** pisses you off. Sainsbury's certainly didnt give much of a toss about you or your personal development either. My friend stayed on and made manager and now hates it!

[Smiff]

Call Centres are the way forward, i work for HolidayExtras (.co.uk!), selling airport parking and hotels, and i get £7 an hour.
Admittedly i'm only part-time cos of 6th form, but its the same pay full time. Its a stressless job majority of the time, and bloody easy!

[rob_s]

i hate my job aswell

but i cant leave atm for the simple reason i cant afford to :s

and theres nothing round my way job wise atm,only tempary stuff till after xmas,so looks like im there for a few month yet!

and im on a shit wage

3.30 an hour

[joe106gti]

asda 'happy to help' thank you very much. looking up with my placement next year

[Shell]

[aidy]

i very much doubt you'd get me sat on my arse in a call centre for less than 30k a year. **** that

[Lacey]

Shell i feel so sorry for you, I know how much you hate it, and what a bunch of cocks they are.... You really need to get out of there even if its only temping for a while, it could be what you need to get away from it all.

[106 van gti replica]
