I hate my job. I can't put my finger on it, but I just feel and have felt out of place since day one. I'm outspoken, I'm a top performer, and my reviews are always 5 stars, with the word "asset" always in the comments. But, I get no enjoyment, the days drag ass, and all I can think about is 5:00. I should be grateful, but while looking elsewhere, I'm getting ZERO call backs or interest in resumes I've submitted, and think most are because of my salary. In today's world, they want people with Bachelors Degrees and starting pay of $25 an hour. That's shit money. I already took a pay cut to leave my last job making 85k, but I was treated like garbage. This job, people stab you in the back, report you to HR if you say the wrong thing, and it's like walking on eggshells. I get a knot in my stomach every morning coming in. I fucking hate it! It's full of woke tattle tails.
 
hate is taking it lightly. more like fuck it to hell and back i had enough.
36 yrs at the same dead end job.
but then again im my own boss and have no clocks to punch. can take days off NP
issue is the insurance industry is pretty much closed and i cant get anything done worth a shit

losing lots of business to the big national competitors
 
I couldn't even get a call back for a dishwashing job. Wanna know why? I stink like a musician and my work history has more gaps than a porno queen. Spottier than a Dalmatian my man. I live cheap so I can do more of what I want. I can live with no electricity just gimme running water and a phone and a chainsaw. I'd rather be in the woods roughing it than eating it off someone. I might die penniless but I won't die inside. Here's what I do when things are getting me down:
 
I don’t hate my job. I don’t care for most of my bosses and I think the way they run it is ridiculous. I do however say whatever the fuck I want to whoever I want to say it to and the end result is that my bosses all avoid me like the plague, which is great. And I make good money. I’d still rather be home banging my hot ass wife but that don’t pay enough so here I am. 🙄😊
 
I was a Veterinarian for ten years before luckily retiring due to some good investments. Three of those years was working for someone else, and the others were for myself. I'm not a huge people person and is partly why I went into the field in the first place. Unfortunately, you still deal with people. People have expert opinions on everything, people don't listen, and worst of all people abuse animals. Sometimes in the most vile ways that there has to be a special place in hell for them. After years of heartbreaking events, I was happy that I was able to walk away from it all. I probably would have killed myself from depression had I still been doing it, tbh. Now I just play music, nerd out on computers, and smoke pot. My husband still works and loves what he's doing, and he doesn't need to work. I guess that's what it's all about. Loving it.

The trick I've learned with dealing with woke idiots is to not only pretend to agree with their kind of crazy, but to push it to an extreme where they start to realize how fucking dumb they sound.

Sounds like you’re in the right place tube lady. Good for you. And I applaud your kindness and compassion toward animals. I like animals much more than I like people. And I like to support other people who rescue them and care for them. I ain’t joining PETA or nothin’, and I spent most of my life as a hunter and have no issues with conservation minded hunting or subsistence hunting, but I don’t do it anymore. My back yard looks like a wildlife refuge. I’d kill a thousand men before I’d kill an elephant. ( that comment got me a suspension from the gay page by the way. It was true then and it’s true now ).

That's crazy they would ban you, but also doesn't surprise me. I'm not a vegan peta member, either for the record :ROFLMAO:
Never took issue with hunting humanely or anything like that. It was mostly what people did to ignore their pets needs where it came to a point of having to be euthanized, which if you've ever had to deal with that, multiply it by 2-3x week over many years. I saw and dealt with a lot of animals that were hit by traffic, too. Pretty common. I won't go into the worst of it, because it makes me cry. But seeing kind hearted animals that would give their love or life to the best and worse of us crying out in pain because someone abused them or even tortured them was too much for me after a while. I started to lose my soul due to sadness and hatred.

My background is biology and when in school veterinary school was a potential path. I knew it was something I couldn't do because of what you said here. I would have a hard enough time seeing someone's pet needing to be euthanized for natural causes. The fist shithole that I came across that abused an animal would have pushed that button where I didn't care about the consequences of my actions. I'll leave it at it would not have been a nice time for that person.

99% of the time it was LE, Animal control, good samaritans bringing them in.
I honestly believe from what I've seen that there are countless serial killers/on the verge of out there.
 
There's other things I'd rather be doing with my time than work and there's aspects of my job I'm not particularly fond of, but overall I'm relatively satisfied. I get paid well and have good benefits so I can't complain too much about that. I supervise an organic chemistry lab that does drinking water testing. I have a good staff that I can trust. They know what to do, get it done, and their work is high quality. We also have some unique challenges with instruments that pop up occasionally that will give the ole noodle a good workout trying to solve. So that keeps things interesting.

The manager sucks and is all but absentee. That's good and bad. I have to get info about my section from my other sources instead of directly from the manager like I should. And 90% of the time I have to do her job to keep things running smoothly. But on the up side she leaves me alone where I can run things the way I see fit without interference. Senior management is a bunch of spineless turds who don't give a crap about those beneath them and couldn't decision their way out of a wet paper bag. But their dumbassery usually doesn't affect my section. Even if it did I wouldn't give a crap and continue doing my own thing.

So yeah, take some bad with mostly good. I'd rather not go to work, but I don't dread going in and overall enjoy what I do.
 
I recently left a high paying IT sales and consulting gig due the way the pension worked out for me. That's a word you don't hear often right? I turned 55 and that hits a magic mark where they then add your years of service (24 in my case) and allow you to cash out lump sum. So I was 79 in the eyes of the pension :D But truthfully, I wasn't very happy and now I despise all IT shit. I wanted out.

Right now I'm in the middle of getting my LLC so I can open a Food Truck 🤷

What @70 Mach 1 said basically.

@VonBonfire if pressed, I could do exactly what you are talking about. I need very little to be happy. My wife on the other hand..... :LOL:

I went through Law Enforcement and Corrections Training when I was in my 20's. After being done, I was a commissioned officer and had to work for free for the department that sponsered/commissioned me for the schooling. First experience? A pedophile. One who raped all 3 of his daughters. As one got older, he moved on to the next young one. Then the next. It made me sick to my stomach, and full of rage. I had a 9mm, side handle baton, and hell, even a Maglight flashlight I was ready to go to town on him with. That day, I was out. I KNEW I'd hurt somebody, eventually. So, I became a hydraulic mechanic, then moved into Sales. Been there since. I've come to find that I just am not a people person either. I hate people today.. Customers whine, everybody's so entitled, and co-workers are drama queens, back stabbers, woke idiots and their idea of disagreeing with your political views is to report you to HR. Can't even go to my boss, or even to me. To me, that's just vengeful.

I hated most people for decades. It was a bad attitude I foolishly cultivated over time but the Lord has begun to change me inside more recently and I'm thankful for that. It ain't worth the money if it's going to make you hateful brother. Find something you can keep your head down at and focus on you. It's good to love others even when they don't love you otherwise the world just gets darker and darker. Good luck to you Napalm, I pray that the Lord will send you into greener pastures.

Of course, I'll never give up, I just have to make decisions. One has to be having faith.

Bring it round. I love that shit.
 
IT slug here. All the years I was making bucko bucko, I was paying $2500 a month in child support for 20 years or so. Now I make 1/2 of what I did, but better than 3/4 of the population, so I should shut up. Zero retirement, hardly any savings. I've basically lost the will to live.

IT is boring as fuck. And the thing about IT is this. Unless your a fast thinker that can keep up, you don't belong in the field. 95% of the people I come across, have zero business being in the field. Can't stand it anymore. I keep waiting to wake up dead.

I do carpentry part time just to make it feel like I actually did something. I tried it full time after a layoff, but November comes and there's no work. Plus I can't stand bidding and getting outbid by illegals that work for $200 a day. I'm after the 1% that will pay 4-500 a day because they get it.

Where I live, people don't care about that fact that I'm licensed, registered business in my town and have insurance. Cheap Cheap Cheap is all that matters. Then there's the invoicing, materials, driving around constantly, orders getting messed up. I don't know how anybody does it full time.

If I could mount TV's at $150 a pop, I'd do that for a living. 3 a day and I'd be all set. That and deck refinishes. Tools required? Sander, power washer, paint brush. That's what I enjoy the most. Outside, hard work and nobody asking me any questions. The tools and materials is what really pisses me off. 10,000 tools sometimes to do a small fucking job. Want to take all my tools, put them in a pile and set them on fire. Fuck, I might jump in as well.
