Do you hate your job?

[brian8713]

YES! I hate my job!! I'll admit it. I work in billing at a hospital, and it's so freakin boring. I have a lot of downtime; that's why I'm on this site. Lol. I work very undesirable hours (until 8:30pm) so it's usually close to 10 when I eat dinner. I also work in an office full of women so there's a ton of gossiping and drama. I just wish these people would grow the h-ll up. I'd love to retire, but I'm only 31 years old, so it's probably about 30 years away, even though I'm saving up money like crazy. My dad retired at 49, but he was a government worker with a pension. I am not, but I have a 401K and I'm holding out hope that I will be a millionaire one day. In the meantime, I'm bored outta my mind.

I love my job most of the time. We work really hard which makes the day go fast. The only negative is that I have to travel and it is tough being away from the family.

[brian8713]

What do you do alina?

I absolutely love my job.  I wouldn't trade it for anything.  I do what I love 40 + hours a week.  Work with a great bunch... for a great company... within walking distance from where I live.  #blessed.

You're both lucky!! I have over an hour commute each way. #lesigh

I do not hate my job(s). I don't really hate anything. Hate is such a strong word. It was on the banned word list for my children when they were growing up along with other unneccesary words like, fat, stupid and ugly. My jobs are the source of cash for helping my family succeed, a necessary evil and could most certainly be much worse. I make pretty good money but do get tired every once in awhile. That is the time to take a vacation and decompress with only one job. The nice thing about having two jobs is that I ever grew to dislike one to a great degree, I could quit and probably make just as much on one job. I am in two good industries and my work ethic is well known. We are getting to a point where we don't need the income from both jobs but I just bank and invest the extra.

Sounds like you are single, no kids? Why not go back to school to better yourself and figure out what you want to do. It doesn't seem like you have any opportunity to grow at this job. I would dust off the resume and get out there and do what you want. Time waits for no one.

Don't want to say I hate my job, but I definitely don't love it. It would actually be nice if it weren't for the owner and his lack of  management skills.

I don't hate it but I don't love it either.  Unfortunately I don't know what I want to do when I grow up so I keep showing up.

I really like my job and MOST of my co workers -- but there is one who makes me NUTSO.  She is loud, inapproprate, and just a basic P.I.T.A.  Luckily I can wear earbuds, listen to music and drown her out.  Rumor has it she is looking for a new job...... I can only hope!

First off, men are as full of or more so of drama than women.

If you hate your job so bad then get another one. I am surprised you are able to sit on this site all shift.  Most companies would fire you if they knew you played on the internet when you are suppose to be working.

It is funny you say you are saving money up like crazy but just a few days ago you started a thread saying you couldn't pay your bills and needed to know how to supplement your income.  If you are 'saving money up like crazy" and don't have the money to pay your bills then there is your solution.

Use your money to pay your bills. Save any extra. Don't hoard money that you need to pay bills you owe now.

I would think very few people really love their job.  Working is something most people have to do.

How could I hate my job when I haven't had one for the last 18 years?

[gaylasue]

I love my job just hate the office politics.

[linderlizzie]

I've had lots and lots of jobs and I never have hated any of them. There have been people who I disliked, but I enjoy any kind of work.

There's really no point to hating something. You can always find some good in whatever you do (barring nefarious activity, of course.) Plus, you can always leave your job and find something else. Just make sure you've saved up enough for your "looking around for a new job" time.
