Doing stuff without being paid for it. :(

It's like Goodwill for the Bourgies! :blink:

A job like mine can teach you all about Exploitation up close and personal and as a fringe benefit, you get to see how pathetic all the wannabe rich really are.

Complete opposite where i am. You often see management watching videos on the internet or doing online shopping. For us though, the internet is barred entirely. Pisses me right off.

Having to deal in an friendly manner with the pigs, in very rare instances even needing to arrest people.

It use to be the pay, but now that's okay.
My health insurance sucks and my new bosses are complete assholes.
I've always hated middle-management, petty bureaucrats, but at least the old managers were chill to me. These new bosses are always breathing down my neck and watching me...

Still wish I was paid more, but I do alright for having an extremely easy job. Only pays well because it's at night. If I switch to days or find a new job, I'll come back to this thread and say my pay is the worst part.

My immediate supervisor talks to me to make me feel as awkward as possible. Yesterday she asked me ''do you love me'' in front of the rest of the team. It was a total mindfuck. Whether or not it was intended as friendly banter is a side consequence really.

My colleagues for having the fucking nerve to say i am not working hard enough because i cant keep up with a brushcutter against 2 riding mowers.
Having to walk miles a day is one thing but if those bastards criticize me for taking a 2 or 3 more 5 minute breaks then they do really pisses me off since they only have to sit on their asses.

Also mowing through dogshit with said brushcutter really finished my day today.

I don't actually have a paid job, but I call my volunteer position at the library my job.
Trying to shelve children's books right after storytime when all the little kids are running around, taking books off the shelf, and putting them in random places. ( But I only get one shift a week, and only for three hours, so it doesn't get to me too much.)

Like most customer service workers, I despise customers. And they're at their worst when they're drunk and losing money (I work in a casino). If I get called a **** fewer than 30 times in one shift, I consider myself to have got off lightly.

A couple of weeks ago, one of my colleagues got stabbed in the eye with a pen and had to go to hospital, and the person who did it is still allowed back in. Yay.

I don't have a job right now. One of the worst things about it is that I have to claim various benefits, which periodically seem to get cut off for some bullshit reason.

The worst things about the jobs I've had (waitress, sales assistant) were the rude customers who treated me like shit and the managers. I left my job as a waitress because my manager played me off against another waitress and told me it was my fault she'd been fired.

The only thing worse than having a job is being unemployed. As it stands now I can't pay my cellphone bill, from last month, and by the end of August I don't have any apartment unles I by some miracle find one, which sort of means I need to have an income by that time as well, or else how will I be able to pay for a place to stay? Some nights it just stresses me the fuck out. I should apply for wellfare, but since I can't use my cell I can't apply for jobs and since I can't apply for jobs I can't apply for wellfare. My left-over depression and ADD does not work great with this whole getting out of bed thing and sorting thing's out thing either. So yeah, this fucking sucks.

Sorry brother. I'm in a similar situation except that there's no welfare for me to apply for. Hopefully you can work something out.

As far as bosses go my new boss is an Ok guy but that bullshit my colleagues pulled on me was complain worthy.

What a fucking asshole. That reminds me of this bemulleted scum we used to have running the show at my place. He brought in his OWN huge leather managers chair because the company issue ones werent good enough for him. Then at the back of the office he would take practice shots on his miniature indoor golf set while we have to deal with customers just to rub our noses in our own indignation.

Actually, you know what the worst part of telemarketing is? Having to keep a straight face (or straight voice, at least) trying to sell some shit you don't care about while having to text your Norwegian friend what's going on in Norway because he's someplace in the Balkans and doesn't speak the language and therefore only has a vague idea that something happened, knowing that he has family in Oslo.

My girlfriend had 5 weeks of work just now and I've borrowed money from my dad...but it's just so unstable, I mean. Still need to find a new apartment, still need to find some way to make money. I hope it works out for you too, man.

I actually like my job, but I'm not paid very well (well, for a summer job it's alright). A lot of people have it worst than I do.

My job at the moment is jobhunting (getting JSA is basically being paid to look for work, so it's a job, right? :lol: ). The worst part about it is either the fact that I still haven't been paid any money and I'm down to the last £20 of my overdraft, or having to go into the jobcentre and be patronised for 20 minutes every two weeks.

In my old job the worst part was the kids who came in to steal things, they'd get quite lairy and aggressive, used to bully the lady with learning difficulties who lived upstairs from the shop :( I likes most of the customers though, they were mostly old yorkshire people, and we had a couple of full on crazies which was always fun
