I hate my job!

When I first started working at my job, I really liked it because it was something new and I was excited to learn about the ins and outs of the company. I always came in with a big smile, a positive attitude, and the will to learn as much as I could. But now, after 3 years, I just can't stand my workplace anymore. I hate my job!

First, I'm bored at work! I've gotten so efficient at my job that I can finish it in 4 hours when it used to take me well over 8 hours to do. I'm so bored at work now that I email all my friends and play on youtube all the time. Before I would try to find things to do and I've asked for more tasks and responsibilities, but it still doesn't make a difference. I still have too much free time.. I guess I should be glad about this, but I really can't stand it. I was hired to work, not to just sit around.

Second, I can't stand some people. Now there's a couple of people that I can talk to on a normal level that make coming to work bare-able, but as for some others, I just can't stand them. They try to intimidate me and it gets on my nerves. I just want to scream and say, "It's not intimidating. It's irritating!!" And I don't like my boss either. He's looks away when he talks to me. Talk about RUDE! It's like, "Are you talking to me or the wall?".. He's either just a plain rude person or he's a real coward. And my partner is bossy. It's annoying. I already have one boss that makes my job unenjoyable, I don't need another one to make it worse. Plus, we have nothing in common except for the fact that we're both females. That's probably why I was able to work alongside with her for this long. And everyone else in between the spaces of my workplace are just ass kissers.

And third, when I want vacation I can't have it because they don't have anyone to cover for me. WTF is this all about? I am entitled to take my vacation when I want, aren't I?

Yeah, so right now I feel like I'm getting screwed at the place I work. I wanna find a new job, but I heard my boss talking about hiring someone new to take my position so I can move to a higher position in the company. But, I don't know if I should wait for it or just quit when I find a new job? Am I just being too picky about my surroundings at work?

  • Personally, If it were me I would try to find another job, and a completely different one at that. Obviously a desk job is not for you, and even if you did move further up you won't be happy.

    I admit I have a lot of problems with my life and I hate my job. I could either do the right thing and do my best effort or just slide by and let the hate flow through me. I can't help it I hate while I really hate myself. I do judge people all the time I can be such an @sshole (pardon my french) I wish I could be different; but I figure people only truely change for the worse; not better. I mean I can make some external changes; but on the inside I will always be dark to the core. @ssholes are people too so what should I do?

    And just because I hate working there doesn't mean I hate the people. They're just annoying sometimes, but I'm not the type that will go and make them miserable. I have better things to do with my free time, like work, email, and youtube.

    Look for a new job. Don't leave this job until you get something else lined up. But definitely make plans to leave - sounds just like my ****ing job and I've been there 3 years too. Started off all enthusiastic and now I'm demoralised and dread every day. Gotta leave!!!!!!

    i am in the same postion as this, its the people that make it worth going though so many charecters never a dull conversation, the job itself is dead end though and the place is full of stuck-up-im-better-than-you people, ass kissers, mini-hitlers and just twats, but the people on my team are awesome, sounds like weve both learned enough in our current jobs maybe its time to move on with life

    If you heard your boss actually saying he might hire someone so you can move up in the company, then it would be unwise to leave. You can always give the impression that you're moving on and if you're not appreciated here then there are plenty of other jobs that will take you. As a trained employee you are something of an asset to their company (they don't want to have to hire and train somebody new) so they'll take this seriously. Make some offhand indirect references to your advancement and see how your boss' expression changes. Make it clear that you are moving forward to better places and better things, whether it's with his company or with another, but don't TELL him this. Just show it with your actions and clues you leave around and your overheard conversations on the phone, etc.

    the same story as me! except am male & my boss is ok i don't hate him nor like him!
    i'll wait for the promotion & see if it worth staying.. if not am hitting the door for a new job! i did reject couble of offers because my current work place environment is fare.. so my advise is to wait for the promotion, becouse you don't hate the work environment you hate the lack of work!

    Many people hate their jobs. Nevertheless, if you have used some of your free time at work to read newspapers or access news websites, you know that the economy is getting worse. If you lose your job, or quit, you might not find another. The job you do find may be even more unpleasant to you. You seem to be doing well at your job, and it seems that you are about to get a promotion. My advice is that you stay at your job, and make the best of it. Things could be worse, much worse. Also, I cannot overestimate the importance of being liked.

  • Ive had a lot of years in the workplace and I assume from your question without knowing you that you are a complete wanker. Ive worked with people like you before many times. You think youve got all the answers and probably think you can run the company. How many of your co workers have you told tales on how many of them have you put down bevause you think theyre not good enough. When the majority of people in a workplace dont like you its generally your own fault and is a direct result of how you treat them. I suggest you find another job and see how you go there

      That's really funny, because I am the total opposite of how you assume I am like. I have never told tales on anyone. And I have never put anyone down at my workplace. I'm actually one of the youngest individuals at my workplace, so I look up to many of them. I have no reason to look down on anyone unless they look down on me or try to intimidate me. From your response, you seem to resemble my coworkers. They underestimate me because they think that just cause they've had a lot of years of experience in the workplace they know better. I stopped letting them have the best of me, but now I just totally hate my workplace.
