Work Vent!

in May 2013 Moms

I hate my job. I've only been here for 3 months but I feel like the time is moving so slow. I call businesses all day pretending I'm someone that I'm not. My boss told me today that I'm not aggressive enough and I sound too young. BTW...I'm 24.

 

I hate to complain on this site but I'm frustrated. I can't leave my job since I'm pregnant and my husband is relocating from the UK. He needs to find work so if I leave I will be without insurance. Please help me feel better...I feel like I deserve to have a job that I can be happy at and not stay in bed later than usual because it takes so much strength to even get to the office. I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels like their job sucks the life out of them.

    I know how you feel. I've been at mine for a little over a year and it is so repetetive! Taking phone calls all day about the same products and issues. I've mostly stayed so that I don't have to go through the whole job search process again but I think I am going to go back to school after my baby is born so that I can enter a career instead of just a job.

    Oh you are most definitely not the only one. I hate my job and have for the past two years. However, my situation is similar to yours, in that I make more than my husband and carry the insurance, so we cannot afford for me to quit. I know it's tuff but hopefully, it will get better. Can you apply for other jobs? I keep applying for other things whenever there is a job open that fits my skills and experiences. I also enjoy nicknaming my boss really funny things and that's how I refer to him at home. Try not to stress too much! GL

    Im with you. I hate my job as well and Ive only been here since July. Ive been looking for something else but the further along I am in my pg, the harder it will be to find a new one. Ill stick this one out until May and then hopefully find something else after a couple of months home with my baby.

    A few years ago I was in a job that sucked the life out of me, and I felt stuck, too. DH had just finished grad school and the economy tanked, and he couldn't find a job in his field. Just as I was starting to see if there was anything else out there I could apply for, DH was offered a job, across the country, but we jumped at the chance, just so we could get out of the crappy situation we were in. It felt like a miracle. Now he's settled in a job he loves, I have two part-time jobs that aren't in my dream field but have great co-workers, and life is so much better.

    I'm hoping that a similar thing will happen to you soon, that an opportunity will come out of the blue and you can escape to greener pastures, because I know the feeling of being where you are now. IT SUCKS!

    Thinking of you today...

    I was totally going to post a I hate my job post today but you beat me to it.  You are definitely not alone and it really sucks that so many of us are in such miserable situations. 

    I am an attorney by training, but because I graduated in 2009 when the economy tanked, I never had the opportunity to work in the legal field.  I managed to get a government analyst position, but it's in a topic area that I am not competent to work in at all.  I have taken training and just do not understand the basics of the field.  I had been put on a detail position (temporary duty) which was supposed to be for one year, but got a call last Thursday that it was over and had to report on Monday back to the place where I am not able to do the work and it is a 20 minute longer commute (1.5 hr in the morning, 2 hr in the afternoon instead of 1, 1.5).  Then, they won't let me keep the schedule that I had (adjusted to when I would be able to get in, so getting off at 4:30) and say I am not allowed to leave a minute before 5.  This means getting home around 7 instead of around 5:30.  The reason we moved recently was so that I would stop getting home after 7. I am literally in tears every day, feel like no one supports me, don't have any friends at work and am just miserable there.  The past few days that I have been back there, DH and I are at each other's throats because I'm so miserable and he's not sympathetic at all.  He just keeps yelling at me that I'm not helping around the house at all and I need to do laundry or unload the dishwasher or whatever.  My depression that I've worked so hard to fight and manage off meds is starting to come back and I just feel like I'm completely alone in the world and no one cares.  Qutting is a possibility, but not until the baby comes because we need to have some savings.  We invested all of our savings into selling the house in order to make the commute more reasonable.  I honestly just don't know how I'm going to make it through the next six months and I know being this upset and stressed out is not good for our little jellybean.  But I don't know how to snap out of it.
