Who here doesn't work in a job that has at least one of the following:

1. You're overworked/high pressure job. (Extreme example is Vince McMahon telling his employee he can choose between seeing his son born or keeping his job. For most, it just means missing holidays/working way too many hours/having no job security ect..)

2. You're underpaid.

3. Toxic work environment (Arsehole bosses, chatty co-workers, demanding customers. Or even a board of investors/school board/some group of people you hate to work with, but must. And they earn being hated.)

4. Not enough hours/bad medical/no medical.


Basically, looking for anyone who works something remotely good without the rose colored glasses (I know a realter who works his ass off and insists it's the best job ever. He's in denial.)

my main job is only #3

I'm a college student currently so all 4 apply. I'm trying to become a dentist so hopefully none will apply (except maybe HIV exposure ) .

Only 3 applies. I forecast weather and Pilots hate to be told the weather won't let them fly.

there's going to be a lot of #3.

people are weak shiits is why

I can deal with it, i's just annoying. Shitty bosses and co-workers don't really bother me though.

2 and 3 apply for sure.

I can't complain on point #2. I make good enough money and it's really the medical coverage that make it very valuable to me.

I have 1 and 2.

However, I took this job over another that paid much better with a 25% annual bonus. It's because I love what I do, I have great coworkers, and I have absurd amounts of power.

Head of the PMO!

1 Is not something I've ever really experienced. Whether that's me being able to handle a lot of pressure or just being lucky, I dunno.

2 I've experienced, but not to any severe lengths.

3 I've worked retail before, so yes.

4 In Canada, all the bloody time. It's like a 40 hour work week is alien to retail companies over there.

The job I'm trying to get now, 2 and 4 really shouldn't be an issue. 1 is possible, but I know my rights and how to use them properly. 3... Who knows.

Same, but that's true of just about anywhere.

Good on you for getting to do something you are interested. If I could ever find something I'm truly interested in, I'd probably take a pay cut as well.

What do you do AG?

^ I'm sure you're employers aren't the most swell guys nor very forgiving of a mistake lol.

1, 2, and 3 used to apply to me before i retired.
2 is me mostly bitching though, i was never short of money, its just the insane hours (10-12 hour days), no overtime, deployments (for which we got tax free combat pay)/24 hour duties (1-2 times a month), made it seem like me and my ppl should have been making a hell of a lot more.
Benefits were/are just fine.

^ Yeah, 3 could be an issue for you. That's cool though

#2 is really the only one I could say but then there aint no such thing as "ENOUGH MONEY".

people keep telling me that humans are social creatures. i'm at the point in my life where i'd rather not talk to 99.99999% of the people I encounter.

Semi-retired, I work when I feel like it, get paid just enough, some days I don't even have to talk to anyone... it's perfect.
