Who hates their job?

[jalopi]

so we've had a few "what do you do for a living" threads... whelp this is a little different.

i personally can't stand my job. i make almost twice as much as i did when i turned wrenches for a living, but i feel like a prisoner in my own home (work from the computer)

basically i'm supposed to be cranking out legal paperwork for one of the infamous mortgage insurance companies that was in the limelight a few years ago. in reality i spend half the day here or on facebook trying to escape the boredom of paperwork.

so who else hates their derb?

what was your best derb ever?

what's your fantasy derb?


my best derb was when i worked for a fairly large shop for a few years. talked about cars and banging broads all day

fantasy derb would be something to do with flying (non-commercial though, that would probably suck)

I fucking love my job, voted as such, and will promptly bow out of this thread.

HA! ditto, I guess i'm the other one who voted that.

...anywho...back to my awesome job!

[gtdragon980]

I hate my job mainly because I am not receiving the full salary and benefits package due to being a contractor. If I was a full timer, it wouldn't be nearly as bad.

I'm with you guys. I'm a sales guy. I work my ass off, but love what I do. I can imagine doing something else, but I don't think I'd like it nearly as much. Now back to pegging.

OP do you have to be a legal assistant or something or can u just be hired i would love a work from home job!

I'm an insurance appraiser for one of the larger auto insurance companies. I spend my week basically being kicked around between the company, the shop and the customer - trying to make it all work and make everyone happy. Guess who gets the short end of that stick? :rippedoff:

[AndrewBird]

Life is WAY too short to have a job you hate. Find something else. And remember, more money does not always equal better job. Gotta find that happy medium.

My job sucks two dicks, sometimes three. I'm currently looking for other options.

Love my job just hate dealing wit TACC and other control factors like min crew rest. 24 hour day and I get 12 hours off gee thanks.

But traveling the globe has been a good gig.

[Exodus_2pt0]

I have similar on the railroad. Can't work more than a 12 hour shift and must be off for 10 hours. Also, there's a limit on days in a row, can't remember off the top of my head.

Honestly though, sometimes I love that 12 hour limit when we are swamped and I can't legally stay. Gives me a nice out.

i love my yob. just started a new one and am in training right now. training sux. i don't get along very well with my instructor. he is a grumpy old bastard! can't wait to finish sim and check rides and fly normal trips again.

we have duty and flight time limits also. sometimes government intervention in the transportation industry is a good thing.

I like my job as a sound tech. I'm very very close to finishing "training" which is basically me doing everything and my boss helping which is good because he's chill but the pay is absolute trash right now until I can go alone. $50 for a night of usually 5:30-2:30 am. Sometimes we have to move the entire "show" which is 4 PA speakers, huge amps, the console, and mad other stuff which is brutal and those nights go until almost four. The pros of the job are quite good pay for my age once I am fully trained, free food at the venues, free drinks (non-alcoholic because I'm 18), and lots of down time to chill and dance or whatever once the show is started. Walmart is laid back and chill but minimum wage is also trash so I may leave soon if I can land a job as a waiter or bus boy or something that gives tips! May apply at many many auto shops even to just do oil changes or something, I wouldn't mind minimum wage at all if I was around cars all day gaining experience! Watering plants tho haha

I'm the assistant manager of grocery store. It's ok, but considering I'm only 21 and working on starting my BA in business I would say I'm doing pretty good for myself so far. Already have my AA degree and this gives me good experience managing. I'm happy with it for now but I have bigger plans and it's really an okay job as there's certainly a lot worse things
