Take this job and shove it?

[Keroin]

Do you love your job? Hate it? Do you spend your work hours silently imagining some grandiose way to give notice when you win the lottery or do you lament that there are simply not enough work hours in the day/week because your job is so awesome?

Or are you happy just to have a job, given the current economy?

ETA: "Stay at home Mom/Dad" is a job. So respond accordingly.

I love my job. I'm retired.

 

[CutieMouse]

Passionately love my job, adore my clients, somewhat dislike the [retail] hours... hate working with women.

LOL. Oops, forgot to include that category!

I figured you would be in the "love" category.

I can definitely see your point about women, well at least in retail. Something about putting groups of women in a retail environment often seems to bring out catty and petty behaviour. It's odd but that's what I've seen in my, limited, experience.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE DOING, DON'T LOSE YOUR JOB!!!

because not having income is far, far worse than the most menial labor.


-unemployed and hating it.

And this is why I haven't taken the plunge and dive into what I love.

My feeling towards my job comes in waves. From July to early November last year I wouldn't say I loved the McJob, but it was satisfying and I was happy in it. In late Nov they told us they were changing my position from salary to "salary non-exempt) and took my pay from around a comfortable $30k a year to a shakey $12.50 an hour, with scheduled 5 hours OT. The problem with that is that my general manager doesn't like it when some one is with in an hour of OT (or for my position allowed OT) so except for the check I was on vacation, I've been shorted nearly an hour a week.

I hate not having my check the same every pay day, and I hate being paid every two weeks instead of bi-weekly, and I really hate that they cheated me out of 1/4 of my income durring the month of Dec.

I'm also being repremanded for spending too much time in the office (working on things they have given me to do mind you). And I am spending more of my scheduled hours in the office, but that's because I used to do things like the truck order and schedule after my scheduled time and now I'm insisting on being paid for my work.

So I'm in a "hate it but at least I have income" swing....just in time for my year end review.

I'm fairly certain the way I'll end up leaving is going down one of two ways:

A customer will be either so irate, or so stupid that I will finally loose it and tell them to fuck off​

Or, I'll finally have enough of my supervisor's bull shit and tell him to fuck off​

Either way, some one is fucking off.

ETA: If I did hit the lotto, I wouldn't quit completely. I'd offer to do the admin job I'd love to do for them, at the same hourly rate I make now, but only 20 hours a week. I love filing, scheduling, planing events, ordering suplies, and managing the P&L, it's the floor work I would give up in a heart beat.

I am stay at home mom atm, but I always loved my jobs. I am easy lol. My bosses tend to like me as well, so I am happy.

Once our baby is old enough so I can work again I'd like to go work back to the shop where I used to work before the maternity. Already spoke with my boss about it and she was happy to hear that. I had a great friendly boss, the people liked me there, the work was okay, I liked my work mates so why not. Wish we had a bit higher salary there, but find a good and even well payed job is a wee miracle. I was kinda grateful I had a job at least!

What I hate tho are changes! Once I get used to something I like things stay the way they are. Goes for both relationships and jobs as well. When I get used to a job I prefer to stay there as I am having really hard time get used to new things/places/people etc.

 

[ownedsubgal]

my "job" is that of a stay-at-home slave, aka homemaker with big Whip hanging over my head (or perhaps Boot would be more accurate), and without the make-up, lol. cash pay is a twice monthly allowance of about $20 bucks, REAL pay is the enduring guidance and control of the love of my life. there is no such thing as time off. i adore it, and am endlessly grateful to have this position. hopefully i'm never laid off!

 

[KoPilot]

Student, and soon to be unemployed~!

Fun times will be had by all.

 

[intothewoods]

Ohhhhh other/it's complicated/gum. I'm ready for a change, for various reasons, but I'm in a decent position.

Passionately love my job, adore my clients, somewhat dislike the [retail] hours... hate working with women.

I've worked in mostly female environments and mostly male environments, and at times, have hated both! Lol. Of course, it depends on the individuals, but stereotypically speaking, there are pros and cons to each.

 

[DVS]

Sorry to hear this Stella.

Been there and done that. I know it isn't at all fun. I hope you soon find something that you enjoy and it pays you well.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Finding something soon-- that's one big problem.

Paying well-- that's another problem.

Enjoying it-- that's purely gravy.

(at least until I get caught up financially, and then of course I'll rejoin the ranks of people who hate their jobs)

 

[Lizzie_Borden]

For the most part, I enjoy my job. It's not difficult, I do a variety of things that I'm good at it.

I don't perform as well as I should though, because I'm bored with it, restless. It makes me lazy. Management does nothing to inspire me to do better, and my confidence to take on bigger roles is non existent because last time I did, and it didn't work out, I got kicked in the guts and shipped out to a satellite office.

Meh.

 

[ecstaticsub]

i LOVE my profession. I loved studying it more then practicing it, but it still it very good. I love being able to go to a doctor and have the knowledge to debate the medication therapy they are prescribing for myself or my children.

Plus I get paid very well.

Down side is I rotate through weekends, holidays, evenings and overnight shifts. Half of the past 24 Christmas' have been spent at work. Which really sucks with young children.

Also it is extremely stressful. Mistakes can be fatal.

My profession has changed a great deal in the past 20 years and will continue to change drastically as healthcare is reformed. I'm not sure if I would recommend the profession to an 18yo now.

 

[Noira]

I hate my job. Come on, college! I don't want to return to cleaning for the rest of my life! D: I feel that my job stresses the feelings of submission, because honestly, housekeeping is invisible and considered to be doormats by half of the rest of the staff, and it's frustrating to me to be treated like that.

 

[lissa808]

I love my job but the stress is fucking killing me!

 

[Cattypuss]

My job is in no way a vocation. I work in law and I want to be a linguist. Maybe one day.

But....

My current job -

allows me to work at home, which means I am with my doggy all day and I spend my lunch hours every day walking on a beautiful headland and beach that are 100 yards from my house. It also means I could move across country to live with the boyf if I wanted, while keeping the same job. And if I oversleep I can be at my desk in my jimjams within 30 seconds

is an employment, so I get things like employee's rights plus a pension etc

is pretty fucking well paid

allows me the mental freedom to pursue my interests outside of work

 

[Belle966]

Student and I love it! I wish I could do it as a job!

 

[cromsgirl]

I don't quite LOVE my job...

I do really enjoy it. I plan to retire from it in 19 years. It is not too stressful, although it can be boring at times. My husband is a student right now and hopefully he will be able to find a job in the area so I don't have to find another job. I have great bosses, good co-workers, fantastic benefits and holidays (Working for a state university rocks!). I don't think I could find another job that gives me all this and doesn't expect me to "better "myself.

 

[BiBunny]

The job itself, I don't love. The marketing, I do love. And with each passing month, I come a little closer to phasing out the parts I dislike and phasing in the parts I like.

 

[callinectes2]

I love my job and my co-workers. It is the government procedure bullshit that I hate. Having to choose between following all the rules or actually getting my job done sucks!

 

[ImOnIt]

My job is a mix of painting, labour, driving with a flooring company to pay for my study. The men gossip like holy hell and I can't stand that. There is a whole lot of posturing where the payoff is being the most senior on a given jobsite and thusly, not having to work very hard.

A minority of unskilled guys shun safety gear and look down on it's use, but are at times seriously sick from chemical exposure. These are smokers/drug users/pay for sex/have zero savings. Working with them is plain

More of tradesmen are hardworking, skilled and support families. A couple are professional boxers. 13 hours with the good guys feels like a morning.

I like that the job has overtime past 40 hours, and there is usually an hour's paid downtime each day for driving or something else easy. My next job will be different for certain, but I appreciate having a flexible and reliable job while others rack up disgusting amounts on loans.

I also buy and sell collections for some very easy money.

 

[kiwi_submissive]

I love my job, its hard not to as there is so much variety, I am never sure what the next phone call is going to be, oh and I get to travel internationally for it as well.
