my job is a lot more blue collar than I was expecting. Like swinging a sledgehammer for hours on end. But the pay is good and Im off 6 months a year. Take the good with the bad. A few more years and I'm out.

My boss is a micro-manager that does not do well at all with all of his employees working remotely. For the past couple of years I have been miserable….first time in my life I have literally hated work.
Interesting…. That seems counterintuitive.. i would think a micromanager would be easier to deal with if they arent physically there peeking over your shoulder.. at least, that’s been the experience at my company throughout the Great Pandemic.

Earned a BS then an MBA while raising 5 kids. I am now a VP of sales making more money than my mother, who was a teacher, that raised 3 kids on her own would earn in a decade. I just finished dinner at a fantastic steakhouse in Ohio with the president of the company I joined and am sitting in my suite waiting for the LSU game. I liked my previous job, but I’m loving this new venture. Go grab that brass ring.
Good story! Cogratulations.

Those of you that are miserable or hate your current company/boss, what is keeping you at your current miserable job? You should have no problem finding another job with companies throwing the kitchen sink to hire employees.

No but it beats almost every other alternative

Pros: The money is great.
Cons: Long Hours, basically on call 24/7.
Wouldn't say I enjoy it, but the money will let me retire early.

I'm in tax consulting and was starting to get burnt out on it. Some stuff I still like, but other stuff I absolutely dreaded.
I just got an opportunity to go start the practice for my niche at a smaller mid size firm (about 3000 us employees) so I'm excited about that. It'll be just as much about sales as technical knowledge. I'm ready to go again.

I’ve got a great job with great coworkers/management. Can’t say I enjoy it though. I’m very lucky to be where I’m at but it’s still work.

No. If anyone would like details, just ask.

I really enjoy my job and make really good money for my age, but I wish I could win the lottery and never have to work another day of my life.
I felt like retiring before I even started my career

I used to, there was always a new challenge and I always felt like I was achieving something. Then I took a job in the same field in a different business segment and 90% of the time it feels like I'm just collecting a paycheck, spinning my wheel like a good hamster. Ah well.

82 people downvoted a person who devotes their entire professional life to saving ours when we're critically ill. That's the dumpster fire America has become over the last few years.

You definitely smile with your mouth wide open.

I like my industry and want to stay in it, but I hate my job. I feel as though I have no purpose. I wake up each day dreading having to go into the office because all I end up doing all day is resolving issues that my coworkers created. It's miserable.
I have my reasons for staying for the time being, but I plan on jumping ship within the next 18 months while the job market is still wild.

I’ve been a nurse for 20 years and have tried different jobs. They all suck. All hospitals and medical businesses have become corporate/Lean and work their employees into the ground. The only things that make it tolerable is the schedule or working contracts for much more money.

I like my job. I think my coworkers play a huge role in how pleasant my day is.
Posted on 1/5/22 at 6:30 am to SaintlyTiger88
It really cuts into my tv watching and goofing off time.

i like my new job/career because i can smoke weed at lunch and use slurs in front of my boss
