Any One Else Feel Like I DO?

yodasucka by yodasuckaOG 2003 · Apr 15, 2004 · 196 views

So we all have our different jobs. Working in an office, outta our homes, in a store... whatever. No matter what we do, there MUST be some part of our 9-5 life that we dislike... so lets hear your complaints so I whine about mine.
The number one thing that I HATE about my job (part time, live out nanny) is that the parents come home at different times every single night and I never know when I'm getting off of work. On day they come home at 5, the next day it can be 8. But I don't actully know what time I get to leave untill they walk through the door which makes it impossible for me to make any sort of plans after work... SO ANNOYING
The second thing I hate is the guy I work for... hes a little uptight and annoying. For instance, he always finds a way to boss me around. And yes, I understand, technically he is my boss. But ok, I get the girls home from school at about 3:15 every day. He calls EVERY DAY at 3:20 and asks me "did the girls do their homework yet?" and when I say "no" hes like "o... well make sure they do it" I'm like ok buddie, I'm here with your kids EVERY day for more then you are, I think you don't have to tell me every day what to do. and he always makes this stupid comments that he thinks hes being funny about but they are not really funny at all. Like when I tell him I need a day off, EVERY time he says "you're fired" then i give him a blank stare and he goes "just kidding" hes just so annoying...
So what do you all hate about your jobs?

In all honesty I do like my present job. As waitressing jobs go it really isn't that bad. I mean I have worked in restraunts that could've been better run if circus midgets were in charge... anyways.

But in harmony with the posting here it it.

I hate that I have to work on the weekends. It just is terrible, but it's only for a little while longer.

I hate that people talk down to me. They ask if I understand english!? I mean what is that about.

I hate that I carry trays so heavy that I will never have to do ANY weight training, ever.

I hate that cheap people put me through so much only to complain about things I have NO control over, will ever have control over - I am only the "messenger."

And the biggest thing I hate is: Out of control children.
There is no reason to ever smash saltines with crystal water glasses then proceed to mix yogurt with the saltines which forms a paste that will ruin the table cloth that I will have to in turn clean up - yea that happened.

I mean other than that, hey it's a living. Remember servers are people too - who have to wear horrible uniforms... and polyester.

i dislike no longer getting tips or free coffee. i also hate that i and my boyfriend, even tho we both work there, have opposite shifts most of the time.... At least we both get meetings off....

any job i work at except centerfield for the yankees will suck as a job..

P.S.- I'd take any outfield position really....

perrin #11.1 perrinOG 2004

I used to love landscaping, but then slowly our boss got to be such a pest, constantly checking up on us, or demanding more than is physically possible. I still love the work.

Also, I don't mind being told what to do, as long as you aren't just going to stand there and watch. Some of the guys I worked with didn't do anything but "oversee" the work being done--that ticks me off, "PICK UP A SHOVEL AND GET TO WORK!"

Lastly, I hated that landscaping didn't pay enough to pioneer, otherwise, I'd probably still be landscaping.

i hate the fact that the longer people work at my jobs they're allowed to do less and then i get yelled at for not helping them out because its a restaurant we're supposed to all be a big family.

i hate how whiny waitresses are. all they do is critique and critize each other behind their backs. at least my and my friends tell you we don't like you.

i hate that the bartenders and managers get drunk and then talk to us about responsibility.

i hate how rude and messy customers are. really, can we all just have a little patience?

MOST OF ALL::::: i hate when people sing karoke and they think they're amazing!!! the drunks are funny but when people are serious about it, and they stink but think they're good. i pity them.

I LOVE my job. I love what I do, and I love law-related stuff. HOWEVER....

Lawyers are the worst people in the world, they have absolutely NO IDEA how to be nice.

My one crazy Satan boss, doesn't even acknowledge my existance. It's really annoying. Especially when I have a really good day or really good week when i don't slack off a lot and get TONS of work done, haha.. sometimes I wish he would at least like, somehow acknowledge that I've done a good job....

Everyone here complains about how much they hate their jobs, and how much they hate everyone here, and yet no one does anything to improve anything.

People come in at random times and tell me that we're out of certain supplies. TIME AND TIME AGAIN I tell them, when you see something running out, TELL ME and i"ll order it. It's so much more annoying to get a frantic person saying "HOLY CRAP WE ARE OUT OF PAPER!!!" when.. if they told me a day earlier, we would have 10 friggin cases of paper delivered this morning. And I try, but I really can't do my job AND be on top of ALL the supplies. Seriously. Idiots.

And the #1 thing that I kinda fear about this job, is that the Satan boss, he can come in here at any time he wants, when he's on one of his "rampages" and, even though I've been doing a good job for almost a year and a half now, he can find some mistake I've made, point it out, and call me stupid and curse me out for no reason. I've seen and heard him do this to others, and I'm afraid of the day that it's my turn. I've seen people come out of his office crying. On one hand, I respect myself too much to work for someone like that... but on the other hand, I know he just does this to everyone to keep up his "tough boss" image, and that it's not really my fault and I should just let it go. Hopefully though... it won't happen ..

I really do like my job, but a few things...

I hate that I'm a contractor and that my company won't just hire me as a full time employee.

I hate that my contracting agency is so cheap and hasn't even talked to me about giving me a raise even though they gave me an employee review. In the employee review I got near PERFECT marks. I guess I'm not understanding what the point of an employee review is...

I hate how when I have a good idea, some people try to steal the credit.

I hate how some people announce every little thing they do by sending out an email to the entire team. I'm not an information hoarder, but in general I just like to do my job and keep my mouth shut.

I hate that working full time sucks every ounce of creativity from my soul.

I hate that working full time makes time go by so much faster... i feel like life is passing me by.

Pretty much, I like my job but I dont like working full time.

time to pioneer, buddy!

At the moment i really cant complain b/c im just happy to HAVE a job... but i will anyway...

I hate that I'm SO trusted... and that sounds weird but... let me explain.
I'm so trusted, that when the boss over sleeps i have to go to their house to wake them up.
I'm so trusted that when the boss over sleeps, and i wake them up, they give me the keys to the car where the bagels are (they get them every night from NY) and i have to bring them into the bagel shop (even when its BLISTERING COLD and the stupid bagels are SO heavey... and some fall out of the box b/c the bottom of the box is open & i didnt know...*sigh*)
I'm so trusted that in the 2nd month of working there (yes... ive only been working there for LESS THAN TWO MONTHS)they leave me to run the entire bagel shop for a week while they go to florida.
I'm so trusted that in the duration of the week of being there at 5:45am til 4:15pm they run out of bagels on friday...so i have to go to the store and make a sign saying theyre closed...while people are complaining to me about them being closed.
I'm so trusted that when vendors come in to complain that they havent been paid i have to deal with them.... while they're in Florida.

I hate that my bosses lie to me and act as if im stupid and dont realize theyre lying to me.

I hate that while they were gone to florida i watched their house let their dog out, fed it, and fed their bird and they WERENT GOING TO COMPENSATE ME FOR IT...yea... there was talk...and i def am getting compensated.

I hate that in the begining i practically had to BEG to get paid, and i had to get in a fight with the owner to be put on the books.

I hate that they dont even make enough at this shop to pay me, and its NOT a lot.

I hate that they dont how to spell words like "coffee" or "salad".

I hate that this shop may actually be a front...but then i realize they're much to ignorant to launder money.

I hate that i can't really complain b/c im moving in a couple months.

forrestina #4.1 forrestinaOG 2002

punkprincess #4.1.1 punkprincessOG 2001

I CANT WAIT!!! :-D

modestjesse #4.2 modestjesseOG 2004

HAHAAHAHAHAHAA

I hate that this shop may actually be a front...but then i realize they're much to ignorant to launder money.

That's GREAT!

COME BACK tO JERSEY....ok, ok, atleast NY will do! ;)

ilikebirds #3 ilikebirdsOG 2002

Lets see... I sit around surf the web all day, read funny stuff, i have a great pension plan that i'll be invested in oct. , our 401k plan matches dollar for dollar up to 25% of my pay check, ummm... i have 1hr30min lunches.

the only thing i hate is being bored and i need more money. i want like 25 an hour and i'll be happy

socalgal #2 socalgalOG 2003

althouh i am the first to say i do love where i work and the industry i'm in, but i too have some dislikes.

for one i hate the fact that the HR mgr makes fun of people and is the BIGGEST back stabber but yet the president chooses to keep her as she makes everyone's life miserable

I hate the workload, it's SO much sometimes. They feel "you're smart, we can count on you....(its like this company wide)you can multi task, we dont' need to hire more peeps....but then the presidents assistant has her own assistant.....go figure! HAHAHA

modestjesse #1 modestjesseOG 2004

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.
