An informal survey

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.)

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 smile ) .

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

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

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.

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.

None of these apply to me. Then again, I’m not sure what I do can even be called a job.

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.

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.

I’m a landlord, basically. #3 can potentially be a problem, but it’s all good at the moment.
