Things you don't like about your job/occupation/life choice - watch the powerlevel

[Monika H.]

Hallo, hallo!!

Pretty much self-explanatory.
Share the downsides and the thing you don't like about your job - be it the dream job you always wanted or something you do just to pay the bills.

As always, watch the :powerlevel:

 

[NIGGO KILLA]

Im happy as fuck with my current life situation

The only thing i need is a anime babe and its perfect

 

[ES 148]

I want to be an HGV driver but I'm worried it won't be intellectually stimulating enough. It's also definitely not what basically anyone else in my life wants or expects.
I hope it's just a phase.

Life is pretty great except every time I read that they’re looking into the Zodiac case again I panic. It’s time to close the book on that shit.

Humans.

 

[UnKillShredDur]

I hate how even *entry level* positions seem to want several years experience. That doesn't even fucking make sense.

 

[Midlife Sperglord]

Too much sitting at a desk. I would rather have a situation where I was on my feet more of the time.

 

[Hardinthepaint]

CPU Architecture is a trip to fully understand.

Of course it does... they need a plausible excuse after all.

Basically companies want to hire who ever they want... by which I mean companies want to actively discriminate, fuck people over and hire their inlaws and friends and such... but you obviously can't tell a person who asks, "Why didn't I get the job" that he wasn't the right skin color for their "diversity quota" or what not, so instead they can just say, "Oh well you didn't have enough experience." or "You didn't have the type of experience we were looking for."

"Experience" is one of those fun weasel words that basically means whatever they need it to mean from one candidate to the next.

I think I can call myself lucky since I got a job that is quite comfortable, flexible and I actually like. The only downside is the responsibility I have: I'm handling my clients financial accounts so I have to be extra-attentive to not mess up with their money.

My wife too has the job she dreamed of, being a teacher. She has good relationship with her class and has the passion for teaching. The only thing she complains about is that she teaches to teenagers, which with their raging hormones makes two hours in a little room almost unbearable.
The boys sweat profusely and smell of other... stuff, and the girls smell of menstrual blood and pads.
She can't complain because it doesn't depend by them, but wonders if she smelled that much when she was their age.

I work a shitty retail job, but my bosses are all nice to me so it could be worse.

 

[JustStopDude]

I must travel constantly for work. I commission industrial equipment. The travel gets very old. I usually do not know what country I will be in until a few days prior.

On of the things I must commission is quay cranes. They are cranes that unload container ships.

I fucking detest working at extreme heights. But money is good...so I do it

 

[SadClownMan]

I mean my job isn't that bad (in construction now as a welder) compared to working at walmart and cleaning up after junkies that leave their hiv infested needles behind and hobos that piss in the sinks

"commission industrial equipment"

This sounds like it could be code for, "I work in gay porn."

You know like when someone has a job they don't like, so instead of saying, "I work as a secretary." they say like, "I work as a personal assistant." : D

It's hard to get people to give you money to draw stuff and although working with bands on album covers is awesome, it is so hard to get 5 stoned musicians to agree on designs or remember what they were supposed to agree on.

 

[FierceBrosnan]

Working in IT in any capacity is maddening at times. For me the worst is when one of our directors or managers has a bright idea the blows up in their faces and then they come panicking into our office because their bright idea was part of some major presentation and holy shit that presentation is in 5 minutes.

Worked out for this bitch. At least, it did for about 5 months.

 

[Overcast]

Mostly minor nitpicks.

I work at a bowling alley. And a lot of the time, people will come up and ask me where the kid sized balls are, and I would tell them that they are at the front desk. Why the people who are at the front desk don't offer them the balls to begin with I have no idea, I tried bringing it up at company meetings, but nothing seems to get done about it. At some point, I just got used to it.

People can be extremely messy there. One time, a group of people decided to have a "cake fight" and threw cake everywhere on their corner of the bowling alley. Had to help somebody clean it up and it took a surprisingly long time.

And of course there's the rest rooms. Had to deal with misplaced periods and piles of shit right in front of the toilet.

At the very least, my co-workers are generally chill and down to earth people.

It's can be as stimulating as you want it to be. Running for most freight carriers is basically just holding a steering wheel and going where the GPS tells you. The specialized stuff (flatbed, livestock, household goods, etc) can be hectic as fuck since you have to set up and coordinate (and often participate) in loading/unloading, securing, inventory, and other shit. Add that on top of the normal stuff like driving, routing, permitting, fueling, maintenance, and finding parking. It can be a pretty full plate.

On that note, shit going wrong because of somebody's screw up and having my entire schedule fucked by it then not being able to hold them accountable. "Oh, gee, we are sorry we didn't have a dock ready for you even though you called us a week ago telling us exactly when you would be here. Welp enjoy your weekend sitting around losing money several thousand miles from home in some sketchy part of town. Warehouse opens Monday at 9. Don't get mugged and die. Bye."

It would be nice to get detention pay but that bonus shit is always paid for with money the account withheld from drivers anyways. It's not like they pay it out of company profits. It gets paid out of the "we fucked up" slush fund. I don't like hauling those accounts.
