I work for a grocery store in SoCal.
I stock stuff on the shelf, ******** with employees and some customers when I want to.
I hate it because it's a job that kills me on the inside every minute I am inside that **** hole I call my job.

yo OP i used to do the same job back in college. It was really wack but also had its perks like hooking up friends and "misplacing" inventory. But the worse part about any job to me is that you HAVE TO be there on time so you gotta schedule your whole life about this mandatory and repetitive activity. Perhaps even more than that is the fact that you are using your time and abilities to advance someone else's business and improve their life while your's remains stagnant. That's the type of shhh that sucks the life out of you and feels like ur a cog in a machine. On the real tho, sometimes I wish we could all go back to being farmers and live off your own land i.e. grow a little food and a little herb - thats seems more fulfilling to me.

But now i got a cozy desk job and Im on NT ...thanks job.

Where do you work at? I work at a health insurance place.

What do you do there? I price claims, check rates, call out to providers about their billing disputes and general office work and other assorted stuff.

Why do you hate it? I really dislike my team leader. She is not fit to be managing people at all. Everything she does is by e-mail. You could be sitting next to her but she will e-mail you. She is extremely shy and always seems nervous. When cases need to get escalated because of the shouting match between the doctor and I. She asks a million questions to me and then makes me do it. Look, I wouldn't ask you to call out to the doctor if it wasn't serious. If I could, I would do everything myself.

Since I work in an office, I have to keep myself in a professional manner. Sometimes, I just want to be myself and not act like somebody I am not. Luckily, I work a part-time job at a car dealership where the boys in the Service Department just doesn't care. My manager at the dealership says the most funniest things. And screaming is their form of communication, not e-mail. That's how I like it.

There's more. I absolutely hate the old women/men at this place as well. I understand that you have been with the company for the past 10-20 years but you are just another worker bee as well. This one old lady one time flipped out on me because I took her "parking spot" one day. There is no "reserved" sign anywhere. And that's exactly what I said to her. "I don't see a "reserved" sign for you for this specific parking spot". She just shut up after up.

Lately, there have been so many layoffs. My whole former department got laid off. And the department I am working at now just laid off about 8 people. This place is absolutely going to poop. Everyday, I wonder when my turn is up.

I don't like the commute. I wish I worked closer to home. It's about a 45 minute to an hour drive to get to my job.

Let's talk about upper management. I'm sure favoritism and nepotism runs rampant at all white-collar places but this place takes it to the next level. One of my former bosses left the department two months earlier to go to another department. All of a sudden, she becomes the manager for the new department that she is working for with no training at all. Two months after, the whole department gets laid off.

The e-mails, notes and anything in written form that I get from my colleagues and managers always have some kind of typo, run-on sentence or some kind of grammatical error. Look, I'm not saying I'm part of the grammar police or spelling police but these people really do not know how to spell here.

Here is an example of the notes that I have to read from the people that work here:

TT: Rhoda was given case. adv need hcfa the actual clm form only recvd the eob. she stated she shouldnt have to send in the clm form as we should hv it from the initial submission adv we dont kp it on file once repriced informed it is required in order to review the dispute. she stated it was sub edi so there is no clm form adv to print the clm form as it is required. she will see what she can do. she had the fax# adv to mk it attn to case.

I have to read these kind of crap notes two to three times just so I can comprehend it in my head. :x:x

The culture here is despicable.

 

[sooperhooper]

I know that feel, but be grateful that you have a job, esp if you make decent bread. I hate not having a job.

A horrible boss can make or break a job...I just ignore my coworkers if they start getting on my nerves. 

 

[frshstunna]

im glad i have a job and got regular checks coming in...BUT im stuck working with the type of person that passes all the work on to me, it could be something as simple as calling another office down the hall and she'll tell me to do it and let her know (in my head im thinking with the time you used to tell me to do it you coulda had your answer by now smh)...worst part is shes not even my boss but i cant say nothing to her really guy im the new young guy, and she is best friends with my real boss

 

[SHERLOCK87]

I would still say something. Let her know you're not a push over, if not, you will always be the whipping boy.

Working at Abercrombie and Fitch this summer back from college and it sucks. All I do is stand around saying Hi whats up to people entering and try to look happy... Not to mention my boss is some 30 year old psycho who care too much about how stuff is folded and even judges us on the tone of voice we use when greeting customers haha. Its whatever though because my co workers are chill.

[teamfrenzy]

Where do you work at? - In NYC, up and coming tech company.
What do you do there? - Part of the IT department.
Why do you hate it? - I don't hate the job but I feel like I am being under utilized. I know I can do so much more. Bottom line is I'm just kinda bored at work.... :\

Man



I had a job I hated so much
I wasn't even there long (2 days)

1st day


I come in getn ready to do ****
Its in the winter btw they got the gotdam windows open n ****d the guy that's helping me almost got fired then they told him to leave
Now I gota make milkshakes in **** hella fast to get the **** done in seconds by my damn self and I haven't even been working for ten minutes my ******g hand is getting freezer burns every 6 minutes
They didn't have any golves to use
And ****
Also I **** around and caught amonia then my back is hurting because I gota look up at this ******g screen that was damn near at the ceiling


Then I get a ride home from moms
Soon as I get home she's goin off on my *** telling me I did a half *** job today

No **** I didn't know what the **** I was doing


2nd day


I wake up to a bleeding ******g nose
Still sick but I couldn't say **** to my moms
Then she made me walk in the dead of winter
Freezin my *** off to work got there late
Managers pissed at me
I come back to my station the guy that was suppose to be training me is not there
Six hours of hell I went through by my self
People with other positions had to take over a couple times because I was too slow
These people had to have superpowers hands were moving like flash's hands

Then the last straw




Who the **** cuts them selves making a milkshake?

I know have a ******g scar on my left hand its not big tho
Bout the size of a nickel








**** steake n shake

In my eyes these kinds of jobs are great for upping your game with women. You're essentially forced to start and hold a conversation while being comfortable and having an end goal. Use that job as a draft and just pick the girls as they come. Plus that store brings in some fine women, especially if you're about that white girl life cause I know I am.
