So look for another job…?I hate my job.
I'm very grateful to have a job, but I absolutely dislike everything about it:
I really feel as though this is Big Brother-corporation style. I feel stifled and made to conform to the point where everything has to fit a specific format. I don't know how to be myself anymore. I'm tired and deflated.
- The people are the driest people I have ever encountered in my entire life. They don't have the slightest notion and think they're always right, yet 95% of the time, their work is flawed with mistakes that anyone can spot but them. Every single thing I stumble upon is riddled with mistakes.
- The processes are so rigid yet absolutely riddled with gaps that if something goes wrong because of a gap, you're blamed for it. When I say something goes wrong, I mean something that does not impact clients at all. It's rubbish procedures such as you didn't upload a document in the correct format in the system; or instead of saying "Yes" on the Excel that goes nowhere, you said "OK" instead; or instead of following a workaround due to a system issue, you inputted the information in the correct field and it didn't feed into the other system but you get blamed for making a mistake when it's a system issue.
- The amount of work vs the deadlines is unrealistic, thus leading to work being done in a rush rather than properly and in case of issue, you're blamed yet again.
- People expect you to be at their beck and call from 9am to 10pm and even ask you to log in on weekends because another person didn't get to finish their work on time before the weekend.
- People never saying "thank you" for anything or even taking the time to understand an issue when you raise it.
- Management waits until your drowning under projects to ask you if you could volunteer for an ad-hoc one when there's tons of other people who are available to assist on said project because they literally have zero projects at the moment.
- The quarterly report cards where you're individually rated by internal audit on your performance and adherence to processes. Being rated from satisfactory to unsatisfactory on a quarterly basis for everyone to see you name and rating right there in a group-wide report. It renders you completely paranoid about your job stability, performance and day to day operating because you keep questioning the accuracy of everything you do.
- No having a mentor I can speak to and get advice from because no one cares about mentoring and I wouldn't want to be mentored by most of these people, except for maybe a person or two.
Thanks for stating the natural course of action, but it's not as easy as it sounds + I still have to be in this job while finding another one.So look for another job…?
Yeah of course but if you look for something now and focus more on getting out & going somewhere else it will at least make it slightly more bearable, knowing that you are putting things in place to leave.Thanks for stating the natural course of action, but it's not as easy as it sounds + I still have to be in this job while finding another one.
I hate this sort of nonsense. It's not The Apprentice just bleeping pick a candidate already! Especially as you're not going to be the MD or CEO.Applied for a JUNIOR level job - they have now made me do 3 interviews and separate assessments, made me wait a month inbetween the second and third interview. The entire process has taken around 4 months and I still don't know if I have the job yet. Its just weighing on my mind constantly and more because this is what I want to be doing and I'm currently in a role that makes me not want to get up in the morning. Just wish they would hurry up and make a decision because its breaking me.
Just want to say congratulations on your new job, I wish you every success and happiness there.hello, it's my first time posting here and I've been considering it for a few days but with the job stuff coming up it feels like the right time.
I just quit my job today. Got a new one earlier this week. Neither of them are ideal forever jobs, you know, but I was basically forced out of my last one by the new temporary manager being a gigantic c-word and bullshitting everyone. I love the people I worked with and I've had a little cry about it already today because I'm going to miss my colleagues and I'm scared I won't stay in touch with them. Was completely being taken advantage of though and being given ridiculous shifts (as in, three hours in one week level stupid, as if I can live off of that as my only source of income). i have a lot more I could say/rant about but I'm so overwhelmed and I've had such a long week that even though I know I've done the right thing by leaving, I'm still a bit devastated because I really didn't want to at this point.
If it was me and one of my closest friends I would probably say something, although be prepared for her to be defensive and ask why you went looking for the details of the event and try and turn it back on you etc.So I hate arranging stuff especially for my birthday because I really don’t like people feeling obligated to come BUT what’s pissed me off so much is I decided maybe this year I’d sort something for a few of us - organised getting tickets, gave everyone plenty of warning and nudges about it. Now 1 week before the event one of my (what I considered closest) friends has “realised” they already had something else booked that night. So because I’m a bit of a psychopath I checked out the event on Facebook and can see tickets for it only went on sale last week! So there’s absolutely no way she had these tickets before she agreed to come to my thing. Do I say anything? I hate to get snarky with people but I feel like this is a proper dick move considering the event was for my birthday and she’d already agreed to come? I’m justified being angry aren’t I? This is why I never bleeping bother people are so predictable
You don’t need someone else to justify your feelings, if you’re angry you are angry And well within your rights. I personally wouldn’t say anything if I found out where her priorities lie because if she did come it would be out of guilt. I’d just try and have a good time without her.So I hate arranging stuff especially for my birthday because I really don’t like people feeling obligated to come BUT what’s pissed me off so much is I decided maybe this year I’d sort something for a few of us - organised getting tickets, gave everyone plenty of warning and nudges about it.

I would be pissed off too but you know what I probs wouldn’t say anything and just let her get on with it and know for the future that she’s a bit of a head.So I hate arranging stuff especially for my birthday because I really don’t like people feeling obligated to come BUT what’s pissed me off so much is I decided maybe this year I’d sort something for a few of us - organised getting tickets, gave everyone plenty of warning and nudges about it.

A friend did something similar for my 21st. Decided she didn’t want to go as she was going out a uni event night out instead - despite my meal being booked way after.If it was me and one of my closest friends I would probably say something, although be prepared for her to be defensive and ask why you went looking for the details of the event and try and turn it back on you etc.
Is there a chance that this event she is going to has been advertised for a while and the tickets have only just been released?
I’m not sure about how long it’s been advertised for but she still went ahead and booked tickets knowing full well she had agreed to plans with me on the same date. I’m going to leave it for a few days to cool off then may say something, I don’t want to bite her head off but I want to make her realise she has hurt me.If it was me and one of my closest friends I would probably say something, although be prepared for her to be defensive and ask why you went looking for the details of the event and try and turn it back on you etc.

I turned my phone’s do not disturb function on while I wanted to watch something in peace and loved it so much I didn’t switch it off. At first I felt guilty but quickly noticed an uptick in my mood. It’s here to stayI'm absolutely drained by my mental health taking a dive every couple of weeks. All I want is peace, quiet, alone time, not have to talk to anyone. If I don't reply to some people instantly they start bombarding me with texts and calls. I'm starting to get worried my antidepressants aren't working as well as they have been
