There are several things I hate about my job. I hate that I proved myself capable of learning new technology and supporting it properly and while they always say "we like to promote from within!" that they bring someone else in when we rolled out Cisco equipment. I made it clear months before we brought Cisco in that I wanted to learn and do what ever I needed to in order to handle the support of them. I was told I would have the opportunity to and it never happened. I went from supporting our WAN before Cisco to no longer having anything to do with it when we brought Cisco in. Probably the biggest thing that aggrevates me about that is I feel I'm in a dead end job. I work for a telemarketing company and I know my stuff in regards to the equipment we use for that. But when I leave here I have no real technical qualifications outside of that. With the Cisco knowledge I could go pretty much anywhere.

I hate that I'm in a position where my say in a matter should carry weight and it's ignored. I hate that I've shown ways over the years to cut costs and it's ignored, all the while they complain they it was a 'rough year' and we haven't seen a raise in two or three years. I hate that I'm second guessed on almost everything when I'm always right from the begining.

I hate I'm not learning anything new. I come to work every day and it's the same thing over and over. I hate that part of my responsibilities is management of a team and they won't send me to training so I can understand it better.

I hate that I pay way too much for health insurance that is horrible. We were promised a few years ago that as time went on the company would contribute more and more and by now they would be paying for the employees benefits. That has not happened and will not happen. I hate that we have a 40k plan where the company doesn't contribute a penny too.

The only reason I don't leave or really complain is because the money is good for what I do. But I plan on moving away soon so I'll be leaving here eventually. I'm trying to teach myself other things in my spare time so I feel like I have some qualifications.

I really could go on and on about the things I don't like with my job but I always think there is hope. I started here at a time when the company was just experiancing some large growth. I've seen a lot over the years and I've always hoped that I'd be in a good position eventually. I shouldn't have held my breath.
