I often post in some threads the annoying shit that happens at my job. People have the same problems I have and it gets old, so here's a thread for you to vent and bitch about your job. Maybe someones got the same problem as you and you two can bitch together.

Post up some stories that your boss, co-worker, or anyone do that piss you off. And dont turn this thread into be happy you have a job stop complaining.

I have pretty chill jobs both in summer and winter.
Summer I'm the Weed Man and just drive around weeding/ fertilizing lawns.
Winter I'm a ski instructor for little kids which is pretty fun most of the time.

I worked in a box factory once though, that was pretty much maximum boring

I thought I'd make a it a few posts before I had to come back and post about my job but whatever.

Boss is so annyoing and doesn't know how to be a manager. He uses threats to motivate? WTF is that shit. It actually does the exact opposite and unmotivated me to work. Maybe I just don't respond well to threats but I just feel like threats in the workplace are not the way to motivate people. So many other ways he could be saying things to try to make us work more. Screw you and your damn numbers. I hate the "meeting your numbers" bullshit.

Work in the dairy department at a supermarket, my boss is a retarded inbred fat hick schedules me like 30 hours one week and then none te next. Constantly making false claims about the hours we request off or if we request off hours then we just dont work that week and someone else gets our hours on top of theirs... So aggravating

At my job we do things a little differently. We have 4 managers and usually one or two will work a midweek night and they all usually work on the weekends. All the managers are nice except for one dude. Lee. This guy is a straight dickhead, he basically thinks he can do whatever his heart desires and will just do dick moves to us. Most commonly he likes to throw those 6 pound medicine balls at me... Shit sucks, I threw a lacrosse ball at his head a while back though in retaliation. Not gonna lie working in a ski shop has its perks, except for this one asshole

Fuck you. Good for you that you have a good job, sorry I gotta pay bills and needed to take a job that paid better than retail. I am looking for a new job but don't wanna take another shitty one so I'm being picky.

I'm a boss. I hate my job. I write checks all day, and try and keep my staff on point. I have some staff that care, and go above and beyond, while most just try and skate by doing the bare minimum. My hours are 24/7. Emails and phone calls can come in at any time and I have to deal with it. Then there is the petty bullshit. Like making sure the toilets are clean, staff seems to neglect responsibilities like that and if it's not done, I do it myself.

It's nice to be able to come and go as I please and take pow days off, but it's a lot harder being the one making the decisions for the business and trying to keep staff motivated and busy.

A woman at my job is always very thoughtful to bring in goodies, liek her amazing homemade salsa or egg rolls.

As a thank-you one lady wants to get her carnations for Vday. But she wants to get 2 dozen. Who the fuck wants 2 dozen carnations? Especially when its the thought that counts. That's just one dozen too many, and you are ridiculous. Hahahaha

For example,last night i was on the phone until 10:30 and this morning before 7:30 I've answered 2 emails, wrote 1 check, sent 10 txt and 2 phone calls. - as it's my day off and I'm trying to get ready to go ski.

Fuck dude. I try to make a call, already feel pressured cause we got a new guy and hes probably listening in. Then you fucking hear something I say and critique it WHILE IM STILL ON THE FUCKING PHONE. Tell the new guy that this is the "bad" part about having an open office. Basically saying I fucking suck at my job. Now I'm listening to what the fuck you are saying to everyone in the office rather than what the candidate is saying which is more important than your dumbass. Fuck man.

You are becoming one of most ridiculous companies to work for.

So you roll out this option called 'Life Happens" -- we get 2 of them a year, basically a get out of jail free card. You did this because we rec'v an occurrence every time we're late, or call in. This was awesome, we thought wow what a great thing for a company to do.

3 months later and you discontinue this option with the reason "employees are abusing it" -- how on earth can we abuse an option that we can use twice in 12 rolling months? Please, explain that to me. It makes no fucking sense.

NEXT: you now add a metric of how often we release our calls, because apparently some bad apples are trying to avoid having surveys taken. So you're adding on this completely mindless, useless, and asinine requirement, on top of the bullshit we're already expected to do BEFORE we can even release the call.

Also, clearly upon rolling this out, the reason behind the fact that no one releases their calls, and just lets the caller hang up, is because we are basically hanging up on the person, to beat them to the punch.

SO, so stupid and I really am starting to hate this fucking job. I don't get paid enough for the silly dramatics that play no role other than, stupidity.

I've thought about that but thankfully I also am kind of the support desk/IT Specialist here so nobody else knows how to look into that stuff but me, so I should be good.

So the other day I came back from lunch pretty happy and excited, my boss then asked me infront of the few people in my office if I got a "Nooner" at lunch. For those of you who don't know what that is,

noon·er
/ˈno͞onər/
Noun
An event that occurs in the middle of the day, esp. an act of sexual intercourse.

I actually can't complain at this point - my old bitch of a manager has finally quit. However, the old scheduling from the old manager is still around until the end of the week, which means I get to stay out at work until midnight again on a school night -.-

Todays installment of why I hate my job and can't wait to quit in a month and a half:

Recruiters log, 3/20/13.
Today I started my day off great, biked to work but only to find that it began to rain as I got in. Hope it stops before I have to go home... Got in, boss wasn't in yet, hope he doesn't come in today by some miracle. Door opens, boss follows... Fuck.

Sit down, read some news, my usual morning nothing. Then we start talking about our responsibilities today.. The position I have been working for a year I'm "taken off" for now. Filled with anger I fight back, am allowed to stay on it... Damn right.

But for my focus I get to work on 3 positions I haven't worked on yet! Yeppie... not. When told about the positions, one is a role that will be filled internally but they just "want someone to compare", the other is a position that has less than 25 people who do what the manager wants, and finally the last is the one that all other recruiters have worked and failed... So now its my turn to fail. Hopefully.. If I'm lucky *Fingers crossed* he'll bitch me out when I'm maxed out all of my efforts for not sending anyone over.

Looking forward to a great day!
