Most liked posts in thread: I strongly dislike my job

Sadly your supposed to make a life long decision on what it is you want to do at 16-20 years old and most have no clue. Some have never even had a part-time job yet so how can they possibly know what they want to do for the rest of their life!! You grow up hearing you need to go to college so you go and take something and then once out you either can't find a job in that field, or you do and realize you don't like it so much..It's a messed up system call LIFE!!!

 

Come make cheese with me at my job lol

 

Wish I could help, but I agree life is too short to spend it hating your job. I worked at my last employer far too long after the ownership change. Once you find it intolerable you need to go, but do find another before you jump!

Good luck.....

 

Good luck finding a new job.

 

MAG....they are ALWAYS looking for more slaves.:devil:

 

In the same boat, bubba.

 

Bluescreek Farm Meats is hiring in the North Market.

 

He won't see me there. :wink:

 

Apok, if you are interested in coming out East to Jersey I could see if the bank I am at has anything that would fit you. Depends on how big of a change you are looking to make right now.

 

I may just send Mark my résumé as well. In the same boat....

 

Those benefits are what kept me going, I figured there was light at the end of the tunnel, there was and I am starting to reap some of them. I guess the big question is "was it worth it". I missed a lot of "family events", spent months away, totaling up to years in the end. I have regrets but I was/am trying to provide for the present and future.
I cant afford to live off of what I would be happy doing, and honestly I am not sure what that is to begin with, haven't really grown up yet. But what ever it is I would be at the bottom of the pecking order and there are bills to pay.

I hope you find something, something you enjoy doing. You would be what I consider one of the lucky few.

 

I know a number of people that work at Chase. Some love it others hate it. But from what I gather is they play the golden handcuffs game. Paying you more then you'll find else where so you stay. I use to work at a place just like that. It was worth the pay cut to get away from the abuse. Although I did have to relocate.

 

Sorry to hear about your job woes. As my grand dad used to say find a job your happy with and stick with it. Course that was in the days of "take care of the company and they'll take care of you". Which is long gone for the most part. Lots of people get on the hook because of retirement plans, and rightfully so. Not many places actually have them any more. Most places have a 401K plan that the company may or may not contribute partially too but that is all there is. So if you work for a place that does have a paid retirement and free or partially free medical care in retirement it is hard to quit..

 

Yup big companies and politics. That's I don't work for one.

Ever think about taking your skill set and shifting it in a different direction? I'll guess you in accounting of some kind. Maybe forensic accounting would be a fun change.

 

as the old saying goes, "It's not what you know it's who you know" holds true atleast somewhat in every work place..

 

Anymore it helps sometimes to just send your resume to places.. Never know when someone may have just quit or got fired. It may just end up in the trash but at worst it cost you a stamp..
