Things that suck about your job.

• j_crazy

  

  List 'em.
  
  I'll start with mine.
  
  1. Schedule - Yesterday, I worked until straight through to 10:30 PM (I was on night tower on Saturday and the proverbial shit hit the fan), woke up this morning at 3:00 AM (4.5 hours sleep). Worked until 4:30 PM, I'm "off" now, but I'm still at work (picture to follow) and at 6:30 PM, I go back on until 4 AM tomorrow morning assuming no more problems arise. Now when I get off on Thursday, I'm off until 1/28, but I go on call 1/22.
  
  2. Location - for 14 days, I work 12 hours, but I'm always at work because I work here (East Garden Bank)

  Don't pay me enough.
  That's it.
• gorocks99

  

  I work from 9am until at least 7pm M-F ... some days 8pm, some days 9pm, the worst days I'll be here until midnight or so. It's client-based, so I have to be ready to go with whatever they come up with, and ready to change at the last minute and put in the work needed to have it ready to go. That, and my bosses all leave at 6 or 7pm every day.

  I can't think of anything I hate about my job.

  I thought for sure Zwick would have said one of his female co-workers.

  there are 50 people on here right now. NO WOMEN. I'd take a 3 over a 3" wang.

  Wish I had a job to complain about. If you're one complaining, consider yourself lucky, could be a lot worse. Waitin for May/June to roll around to start applying for more teaching jobs.
• j_crazy

  

  yeah that sucks worse.
  
  If not for the shitty pay and needing to get a masters, teaching is the career for me. I'd LOVE to teach math, I decided it 6 years too late though.
• Benny The Jet

  

  Not that I'm sayin people shouldn't/can't complain about their jobs...I definitely did when I had a full time job. Just that hindsight 20/20 thing.

  I just have a job when I'm home and I make good enough money but:
  
  1) I hate having to be clean shaven
  2) I hate when I have to work with not my normal group because then everything is more rushed. They don't help as much.

  Pretty damn easy since the seasons over!
• GeneralsIcer89

  I get cussed out on the phone several times each day when the caller isn't even calling the right office. I have to work with a guy who smells like a walking toilet and *literally* drips grease (he leaves stains on the chairs), and despite complaints to the boss about health concerns, NOTHING. I have to work on some of the most disgusting computers in existence. I've refused work on the one where the owner had spilled pizza on it at some point (that wasn't his issue), and the sauce stain had grown some extensive extra lifeforms. I get students that come in for help and just cough in my face with no attempt to cover their mouths.

  In general, I LOVE my job. What I can't stand is unreliable/incompetent staff. And recently, a few of my staff have become very stalker-ish of my personal life. Apparently they really have nothing going on in their own life, as I don't find mine all that exciting.
• I Wear Pants

  It doesn't exist.
  
  Unless you count school, in which case I hate driving to Youngstown.
• Fab1b

  

  i have it pretty good, I really cannot complain. If I had to say something that sucked it would be a few of my co-workers lazy asses!
• se-alum

  

  A dip in the company ink gone bad.
• rookie_j70

  

  stupid customers
• dancinbear

  I like my job. It's just irritating that some of the old timers around me seem to think that I do absolutely nothing throughout the day.
• fan_from_texas

  I hate the hours and the unpredictability. I can't ever schedule things in advance or commit to hanging out with people because I'm the low man on the totem pole and if crap comes up, it ends up on me. I took two vacation days last year--there's always pressure to be billing hours, and so I start to treat interactions with people as though they were 6 minute increments. That sucks.
  
  It isn't that anything in particular has been brutal--the hours are long, but other people certainly work more. It's the constant unpredictability and stress that is always there in the background, sucking away my life. I get embarassed when I meet new people and they ask me what my hobbies are. Frankly, I work, and I dont' really do a whole lot else. It's a minute and almost imperceptible dehumanizing process. I hate to think what things will be like after a decade of this.

  Not having one.
• Cat Food Flambe'

  

  I don't have any real complaints. As long as get I hings done, they pretty much leave me alone.
  
  January to March sucks due to the workload (10-12 hour days), but I can break it up as I see fit during the day or week, or from the office or at home - and I can easily get by with six-hour days or four-day work weeks from mid-August to mid-October during the best weather of the year. I get to travel about one week a month to civilized parts of the country (Seattle/Portland, New England, NYC) - and take my wife with me on the company bill after I pay her airline tickets (at company rates!).
  
  Of course - it took about 25 years to get to this point.
