    I don’t hate my job I just hate the way it’s being run.

    Dont mind the job have good days and bad days but despise the company I work for.
    Have been looking for a change and looked/applied for other jobs but would really prefer to work for myself in some capacity.

    I love my job. It is unheard of for someone of my experience to be working in the job that I do. Happy as a pig in muck.

    I work in a busy emergency admissions ward. Sometimes, when it’s all kicking off, I look around at my colleagues – and I actually love them. 😳

    Last job I had was killing me. Huge stress, long hours , limited time to exercise – getting fatter, unfitter, high blood pressure, canning the ale. Good money though, golden hancuffs…

    Took redundancy, 12 months later, fit, lean, happy, chilled, normal blood pressure – still like the odd beer, but not using it purely as a way to unwind any more

    Went to the agency this week to get some work, but will be on my terms this time …

    How odd to see this topic today. I’m bored of my current job. I did have my ideal job that I loved massively (was in the Army), but gave it up for a women (always a mistake). Since then I have worked in a factory and can’t stand it.
    So, today I have been to college to discuss getting on to an Engineering course. I read on here a couple of days ago (can’t find the thread) that life’s too short, and you should get out there and tell life what you want. So that’s the steps I’m taking. Hopefully my actions will open doors for me, and get me involved in much more interesting things in the future. 🙂

    I love my job. Despite earning 25% less than I did in the previous job I am much happier, much healthier and having a great time!

    nothing worse than a job you hate– like open prison with no release date .

    Hate? No. Bored? Sometimes. Frustrated? Yes. Mine is brilliant when it goes well but, when it doesn’t (like when your biggest client goes into administration leaving you a couple of hundred £k up the spout) then you do question your sanity doing it. But he’ll, if I hated it that much I would leave, and I haven’t.

    Life’s too short to be spending so much time doing something that makes you miserable. I really like my job (well both my ‘jobs’). There will always be issues and niggles and to some extent the grass is always greener, but overall I’m very happy with what I do.

    +1 🙂 I do have some very boring shifts but I have to remind myself that I’m effectively getting paid to watch tv whilst pressing a few buttons every 10 minutes or so. Plus everyone I work with is awesome apart from a few idiots but you get that anywhere! Do wish I had a job with more of a challenge, but just over 1.5 years into being a tech op I haven’t ever really had a moment where I’ve despised going in to work (other than the inevitable hangover shifts but they’re self inflicted) 🙂 although I suppose doing shifts does mean you never really get a “case of the mondays”!

    After today I’m really hating mine. Started at 8, finished at 5, got to go back in in a minute, and I’m supposedly on paternity leave. FFS.

    I am currently signed off with work-related stress so, guess my answer 😆 The work’s alright but the workplace is horrendous. I’ve had bullying bosses, incompetent bosses, untrustworthy bosses and mad bosses but this is my first bullying incompetent untrustworthy mad boss.

    If I was left alone to do my job, and not constantly have the goal posts moved or one department contradict another and be expected to please both, have my wages at least left alone instead continuously being manipulated and being asked to do more for less and my terms and conditions to last at least 2 years with something else being changed, reworded or revoked.
    If I could have all that then I would actually really enjoy my job.
    As it is I am beginning to feel like a slave constantly worried some eastern european is waiting in the wings to take my place for half the wage.

    So in short It’s not the job its all the crap that comes with it I hate!

    The highlight of my day used to be the visit to the loo.

    Got sacked for gross misconduct after failing the compulsory Anti Corruption test 17 times and having a row with the arsewipe of a manager.

    Was escorted out of the building, didn’t say goodbye, just got in my car and drove off. Wonderful.

    I quite like my job – interesting, varied and all that, but it’s still work

    “Management” is becoming a bit more intrusive/demanding and I’ve been passed over for a promotion recently so I’ve adjusted my perspective a bit – fewer unpaid extra hours at home or a change of some sort in the nearish future I think. It’s good to learn where you really stand now & then IMO.

    I work with great people though (mostly anyway), which makes the job good fun even when the work’s piling up

    Mines very dull, but i dont hate it by any stretch. The only thing i hate about it is the day i leave home – i work offshore – but i love payday, and i love the day i leave the place to head home for 3 weeks. As long as the loves outweigh the hates i’ll be alright.
    As a counterbalance to the boredom i still work in my local A+E Dept in my time off as i genuinely love A+E nursing, you just never know whats gonna come through the door.

    i love my job, but i hate the company i work for, mostly because of the manager at my place of work. he has zero people skills, zero compassion for anyones feelings, he sacks people as the first step in any disciplinary procedure and is generally a ****. if id met him in my 20s im pretty sure he would be in a wheelchair by now.
    on the plus side, its a steady job and i get paid.
    i was once hauled in and threatened with the sack due to a complaint being made, when they reviewed the cctv it wasnt even me, yet i didnt receive any type of apology, it was just ‘right, get on with your work’

    I love my job. I work for me.

    I get time off when I want, I get paid bonuses, downside it the hours can be long and the boss can be a bit of a slave driver but he is generous in other areas.

    I hated my previous job, corporate nonsense all the way with the added twist of lots of back stabbing and departmental one-up-man ship by complaining, lots of HR investigations into said complaints then all charges dropped. This went on all over the company and as I had an especially brown nose sort of boss who was also weak and didn’t have a fondness for backing up his team we were regularly dragged through HR crap because he “liked to do his washing in the open for all to see”

    Strange as a year before I left and after the umpteenth investigation that went nowhere (just wasted every bodies time) I told him I would leave at some point and then he would have a smaller team and eventually, he would have no team at all and then he wouldn’t have a job, unless he grew a pair and started supporting his team.

    Strange as I heard the other day he has no team. Still got a job though. Everyone has left or transferred to other departments. Guess its only a matter of time.

    Martymac, sounds like you work for my old boss!

    id name and shame mate, but already been threatened with the sack for ripping the piss out of a co worker on FB. (she didnt complain, but someone else saw it and felt offended on her behalf)
    in fact, when i think about it, every time i see him and there are no winesses i get threatened with the sack, despite never actually having done anything seriously wrong.

    I’m a lorriest.
    I wouldn’t say I hate it, but, it does get me down at times.
    Long hours, working with racist morons, nights away from home and murdering prostitutes takes its toll.

    I really like my job, the work is not the most stimulating but my colleagues are great and so is the pay.

    Plus I only work 4 nights a week.

    It varies from very stressful yet boring to very stressful and flippin dangerous. Unfortunately I sold out and bought into the “be a grown up, have a family, have responsibilities, mortgage etc”….and now there is no way back…

    Holidays- never get to use them and the time I’m supposed to be off I still have to contractually be available

    sensible working hours? hahahahahahahah erm no

    oh well seeing as alternative is being dead, I s’pose stress and mayhem is just about tolerable.

    Hopefully be changing grade though soon so that will cure the boredom…until next time 🙂

    I like my job – but I hate some of the people that I have to work with. I strongly suspect that this would be the case wherever I worked though.
