Anyone who hates their job has no one to blame but themself.

This kind of rosy talk was just fine a few years ago...

• Quit shitty job Friday
• Apply for new ones Monday
• Interviews Tuesday and Wednesday
• Drug test Friday
• Start training Monday

I know three (civilian) people who pulled that shit off before. But the FACT is that none would be able to do that now. Not to mention that the OP is in the military, so it is much more complicated than that.

Yes, I agree that choosing a bad job/position is more often the fault of the person in it and they should do what they must to make it better if it is, in fact, that bad but it just isn't practical to just up and leave a position like that right now, not the way things are right now.

ctis- central tire inflation system

Fuck no if the leak is to big ctis wont do shit.!!!!

[ch1873857]

yeah well theres guys here. RIGHT NOW. that think ctis is the answer to everything. whats fucking stupid is. they have these rpg nets that surround the entire vehicle. the bracket for the the rear net doors blocks you from even getting the spare tire off. USELESS. so if we do get a flat we are waiting for the wreckers which thankfully tf phoenix has plenty of. i <3 the army...

following up on my story... 3rd day in a row getting stiffed on a delivery. stiffed 2x in a row today.

were on our 3rd GM since the store opened in the beginning of december 2011. super shady business. greedy ass owners who only give employees a 30% discount rather than everyone else's 50%.
the CUSTOMERS getting better discounts than we do, thus making our discount basically useless.

i normally dont get home until around 12am, or even 1am. hell last week i didnt get home until 2am.

delivery drivers get 1$ per delivery, regardless of how short or how far away it is. however, we charge a 3$ delivery charge to the customers to have it delivered.

3-1=2. so 2 dollars that the OWNERS make when the DRIVERS deliver food. not to mention the other dollar from the delivery fee makes it so the owners dont lose any money on giving us mileage.


no set schedules, and they sure as hell will only work anyone whos not a manager around 30 hours. no matter what, they dont want u taking home overtime pay.

and what i found out yesterday.... the assistant managers still only make minimum wage just like everyone else does, but they do way more. im not sure how much the GM makes, but i dont think its alot.

i need a new job...

I started out hating my job my boss was a dick and everyone hated me because i made more money there the first week then most the guys that have been there 5-7 years. I help make 60% of all the clam shell tents - personell tents and hangers the military use. I have learned to like my job i look forward to getting up to going to work. We have had allot of changes lately working 10-12 hour days and 8-10 hour saturdays. But with my pay and the OT i get its well worth it now. Plus there is nothing like being the lead CNC opperator and not really having to do anything because im over a week ahead of the lay out / welders. Im also up for another review / raise in 30 days.

If any of you are wanting a ok job and wiling to relocate the company i work for are looking to hire people that have skills in Blue print reading and able to run RF Welders. If you dont have allot of skills but you are a hard worker looking to learn we train everyone. We have some really dumb people come in but give them 5-6 months and there running there own machines and doing most things on there own ..

[jesse_s13]

^Those clam shells get really hot! Thankfully i dont have to work in them=)

[Tantwoforty]

i want a job

[Dominicanaso]

I'm a mechanic most days I love it but then you'll get the a holes complaining about overpriced and crap. That's life

[ESmorz]

Stuffing fat asses feet into shoes they have no business wearing and dealing with shit head kids isn't ideal, but I didn't have to try for the job so I can't really complain.

[ronmcdon]

I don't mind my current job at all. I work in a warehouse environment in LA that has an inconsistent work load (although lately it's been getting better). Some days we'll work our ass off and leave late. I just see it as good excercise. Other times it's really laid back. Most of my co-workers are great (it is just stressful when you don't get along). There are really good places to have lunch nearby. Our company is fairly lax with time off, and I probably take 5-6 weeks off a year for vactions.

What I don't care for is that we have a few emotionally unstable drama queens at the office we have to work with, but nothing that gets out of hand. This is a company where almost nobody gets fired, so it also has its drawbacks. It's also ultimately a dead-end job. Nothing I can learn at this point, but I'm also working on my MA at the same time. Commute isn't so good, but not terrible. Get stuck in traffic for around 2 hrs each day.

I'd rate 2/10 (it is a good place to work).

[WanganRunner]

Had gotten a new job that I hated about 5 months ago. It paid extraordinarily well, but the boss was a tyrant and the company was volatile. I got let go after 2 months because they ran out of investment capital.

Seemed like a terrible thing at the time, but now I have a better job, with nice people, and it pays even better, so it all worked out very well. I'm feeling very lucky right now, actually.

This is why we sometimes shipp 10 ton a/c units with them..

[the a3k]

1-10.... yea ok. ill give my job 2523523569832759823

my job fucking blows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[towlie]

Working in general sucks.

Only jobs I wouldn't hate:

Formula 1 pit crew
Porno film guy
Ferrari test driver

Lol, but in all seriousness I can only tolerate my current job until something better comes along. Bills won't pay themselves

[93 240 s13]

i work for a phone company. Customer service representative for the Small Business side. don't hate it, don't love it. pays the bills, pays commission, union, awesome benefits. everyone wants phone service for free. some customers make me hate my job, but its pretty rare. overall 2-3 on the hate scale

[logik23]

I work at a BMW dealer and I fucking looove my job.

[nujabe]

i work at a tech store that every one knows and loves... and i fucking hate it... i deal with shity people who dont even no how use what they paid for... they think cause they paid 250 dollars for a phone you owe them your life... also it dont help i work in one of the richest areas in californa so douchey ness just gets even higher.. management is fake and a joke... its to the point where i dont mention where i work.. i also cringe at every person who walks in and ask a question... that could have been solved by a 4 year old. i love how people walk in with complete broken shit and shove it in my face asking will i fix this? or some how cause they paid for it they think i should spend two hours with teaching them how to use a one button device WTFF.. but it does pay for my car and help my mom but wtf man.. alot of people i have realized are just stupid when it comes to consumer products..

[upsdude]

[samgs14]

haha as long as I got the bills paid and money for the car build Im hapy doing whatever job I got.. that said I couldnt complain about what im doing now

environmental surveying out in the Gulf of Mexico not a bad way to earn a buck

[bb4_96]

I love my work. I love what I do. I love to design, I'm not even sure it matters what i design so long as I have access to a work station. Pro-E, autocad, catia, co-create, solidworks... all at my disposal. It's a beautiful thing. I only wish I could work over-time so I could accomplish more.

Only thing I don't like is the office environment. I work at a company that you will never know you're doing anything wrong until you get your review a year later. It's stressful to work with people you know have fucked you and still smile and ask how your day is. People who fucked you for no other reason than that they are bored.

In addition I'm the youngest(not least tenured) person here so any time my findings are challenged they are instantly thrown out. If I have a project that someone thinks should have been done differently I can pretty much start shredding. The worst is when on person makes you change something only for someone elso to come along and change it back. Once you've done the same project 4 times it gets old, and you look bad, and you've wasted time, and you haven't gained anything, and your boss starts calling, and you've hurt someone's feelings by making it this way instead of that. When the fourth redo is just going to be the way you did it originally. Somethimes I feel even though I'm the youngest person here(at least 5-7 years) I work with children.

-When I initially got on board I was under the impression that this would be my foot in the door and would open up more opportunities once I would graduate. Years ago this was the case.
-I get rejected from about 10 "CSD" full time positions that are exclusive to those already employed by the "CSD".
-Turns out "CSD" doesnt classify their student workers as employees under "CSD" rather than employees of the department that hired them. Thus making me ineligible for those jobs.

I feel like I wasted my fucking time these past 3 years when I couldve interned while still in college and possibly of met the right people by now that could've helped me out. Man I feel so stupid and lead on.

I can't say what I do, but I can say that it's IT for the largest financial institution in the world that recently had someone resign due to a scandal.

Unfortunately I'm stuck at this job declining pay raises and dealing with the typical drama associated in IT. Before this, I was a Net Admin - loved that job - and now work here and live in a small one bedroom apartment with my fiancee. Now, I can't take a pay raise or I loose my daughter's insurance. Seriously, the state will drop her over $40 per month. So I have to sit below the poverty line in order to make sure that my daughter gets proper medical insurance, but won't pay for something that could benefit her (Hyperbaric Oxygenation therapy, which I somehow have to come up with nearly $7000 for). Cerebral Palsy and a brain injury. Easily the most stressful situation I have been in.

Just an FYI that internship is a HUGE waste of time. Take that time to focus on getting to the top 5% of your class in your grad degree and you will have your selection of jobs and interns to bitch around. Trust me on this... Especially if your trying to work for any Fortune 500/upscale law office/company worth a crap right out of grad school.

You're not even kidding. I work as a mechanical engineering co-op at IBM and it's like this. Every idea I have either gets taken and passed of as someone elses or it gets thrown out for a worse idea. I say every but that's not the case, a lot of them. I know I'm young and new and don't know how things work yet but I can tell you that this corporate work style isn't the way it needs to be. When managers breath down your neck for no reason other than to make it appear that they are working hard and they question you constantly only so it appears they're covering their asses it makes it impossible to get any work done. I worked three weeks here and they told me to slow down and pace myself because I was working too fast and getting my assignments done. I'm sorry I grew up working my ass off on the family farm and learned how to work efficiently and quickly.

I hate working for IBM. Makes me hate waking up in the morning.
