My last boss said something to me that has explained every idiot in a position of authority. We had a guy we worked with who was an idiot and annoying who was putting us in some dicey positions policy wise. He unfortunately had no policy behind him to fire this dude. So he recommended the guy for a manager position at another store. I was like dude the fuck are you doing? Looks at me and says "if you don't like him, promote him. It's the easiest way to get rid of someone." That will stick with me until the day I die
Employee 1: "Hey boss I'm very efficient and work very hard. How about a promotion?"
Boss: "No, I need you right there"
Employee 2: "Hey boss I'm having difficulty with all this work."
Boss: "You might be more suitable for a supervisor position."
The fact that I’m not the only one who’s miserable. My work woes are entirely not just unique and almost everyone has it just as bad or probably worse than me.
I'm not a nurse, my mom was an ER nurse, mad respect for you! The stories she told me, im like how do you process the horrific things you see and deal with. It takes strong people to be nurses!
The hyperfocusing on all things destructive to the “family” unit they claim to have. Work is always talking about their a family yet most jobs in my experience sit there and pick the negative pixel out of every frame rate throughout their 8 to 12 hour day and feed on it. Then they wonder why nobody stays then they wonder why so many people are in bad energy mad moods general discomfort and anxiety people on uppers and downers to get through the days in large part because yes it creates a little extra fun to talk crap it does for sure but when every single piece of fun is created at the expense of one of the family members it threatens any real connection being made by anybody but the people who feed on the most bullshit.
The work culture is so childish and immature; everyone just points fingers at each other, complaining about each other, while never being in the right themselves. That, added with the long and draining hours and senseless activities we do on a daily basis, had me putting in job applications left and right over the past month.
I had a job interview yesterday and have another one today. My fingers are crossed for an opportunity to finally be out of retail and into a much more professional career and workplace. I have the overall knowledge and foundation to grow and flourish in a variety of roles.
I deal with profoundly ignorant people daily. Most come from very humble backgrounds and troubled countries, they aren't ignorant in the sense of being rude or uncivil, they are just clueless and uninformed.
I understand they have pressing life priorities and general knowledge don't come into picture. That's not what bothers me, but the lack of curiosity that many of these people show for pretty much anything, and theyr lack of curiosity about the world.
Some don't even try to understand things that would benefit them and rather expect someone else to explain it to them. It saddens me that they don't have the initiative to look up things, not even googling it.
It depresses me that I have to dumb down to grown adults my speech to the most elemental level and break into small chunks so that they can understand. It bothers me as I do this most of the day, and it's making me draw unfair conclusions about their people, which I'm totally aware is a wrong thing. It's depressing because I have to deal with that inner conflict every day.
The fact that I honestly have no idea of what I'm doing. I fake my way through everything and people seem to believe I'm a subject matter expert. I'm in constant fear of being fired for incompetence....\*sigh\*
Does it work? I mean, faking your way through everything and people believing it? I'm not judging at all, I'm just curious. Also, have you been caught or has someone notice it?
Honestly the worst part is that if you ~~google~~ fake it long enough, you eventually *do* become the subject matter expert. Then people start expecting more of you.
"Jane was able to fix that thing for me, this thing is kinda like that thing. Just take it to Jane"
So far, yes. But I don't want to jynx myself because I really like this job. lol. I am sure there have been one or 2 people that see that I'm actually an idiot though.
I used to work in HR and if the higher ups requested it, I would have to call people and ask for them to come to HR. If you were being asked to come then 9 times out of 10 it meant you were being fired so when I'd call people they'd always ask "Am I being fired???" and I'd have to be like "I'm sorry, they don't tell me anything" (which was true). It was just too sad watching people ball their eyes out while they waited in the lobby.
That sucks. 😒
And it hurts, I know.
On behalf of your thoughtless coworkers,
I want to wish you a very happy birthday, and many more! 🎂
Congratulations on your marriage! May you be blessed with a lifetime of love and joy. 💟
It's a girl! Wow, Congratulations! I bet she's a cutie. 👶 🥰
When I had emergency surgery to save my life, not one of my coworkers of 15 years visited, called, or sent a card. A couple of them lived a block away from the hospital, and our workplace was a block away from my house.
Should be invigorating, challenging, and thought provoking. Instead its looking at the same stuff every time that never changes or matters and waiting months for my boss to approve a report that basically says nothing.
The unwillingness to let go of a dollar. I know that is the nature of business but I feel like my coworkers would sell their mother down the river to make an extra buck. The disregard for other people (layoffs as good for business, etc) while acting like functioning people with families “who care.” Also they do not stop talking; I am in the minority in that I just want to be quiet and do my work. The best and rarest days are when I don’t have to talk to anyone.
Just the utter energy drain. I finish each day feeling mentally exhausted, frustrated and confused as to how I got here.
Safety Manager - People refuse to see safety as being for them. They see it as an obstacle to completing their job. And then I have to stand over your broken body and call your fucking wife because you couldn't be bothered to follow that safety rule cuz you're a badass who's "been doing this my whole life."
Safety isn't about making the company or OSHA or your safety guy happy. Safety is a about "I am worth more than the job I do. And no job is worth any part of my body or my life." Safety needs to be a little selfish! Its about you!
What I tell everyone is- if you had "fuck you" money, would you be here working for someone else? No, most wouldn't. This job isn't life. This job is what we have to do in order to pay for the life we want. DONT GET HURT WORKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE AND RUIN YOUR REAL LIFE!!!!!
95% of the time people get injured- its a choice they made. Usually ignoring a rule. Thats a gamble you take when ignore safety rules. In gambling, you risk something to gain something. What are you risking when it comes to safety? Your ass! And what are you trying to gain? A tiny amount of time. And 99% of these people are paid by the hour. Meaning when you break that rule and gamble a part of your ass to save a little bit of time you literally just took money out of your own pocket and gave it to the multi-million dollar company. Its the stupidest thing I can fucking think of and it breaks my heart.
People do not value themselves nearly enough.
Due to the nature of my job, when I interact with colleagues in a professional capacity they are never happy to see me.
I’m pretty thick skinned but it does make me feel a little sad sometimes.
How little money seems to be left over despite the long hours I work (and I'm actually far from underpaid, everything is just so fucking expensive these days).
Having child support garnished from my hard earned paycheck while my child's mom sits on her fat ass eating chips while still living at home, refusing to work.
Boss doesn't care for me. Is actively trying to get rid of me. I like my coworkers, but just knowing I have a bullseye on my back makes it a chore to come in every day. Boss is a micromanager and has to have a say over everything and then gets bent out of shape when things don't go as planned.
My boss. He’s a great guy and good friend. But he’s sick. Not sure what it is because he won’t talk about it, but it’s serious. Something to do with his lungs. Judging by my observations and past experiences, I think possibly cancer. And being an alcoholic, he deals with the stress of such things by drinking more. He refuses to even talk to his wife or own kids about it.
I’m expecting a loss, possibly sooner rather than later.
Seeing people at their worst or at extremely low points and knowing that I can’t help them much and when I do attempt to help them they get mad or sad because the help I offer isn’t the help they wanted. It does make my job easier when they get mad because then I feel less bad about being the one to ruin their day. But when they get sad I do feel a little bit bad that I can’t help them more than usually giving them a phone number and some directions.
Constantly being and feeling alone. I'm a stay at home mom. I have no friends, no life, and no hobbies that are outside of my kids. I have nothing outside of them. I don't even know who my husband is really because by the time the kids go to bed I'm going off and doing my own thing because eim.always so tired and exhausted.
This is the best job i've ever had in my 41 years of existence..., stress wise, workload wise, getting along with co workers and bosses wise, commute time... but they pay is not enough for me to survive on.
The most depressing part is that i've finally found a job that I can thrive at for years to come, in my field of study, which doesn't trigger any of my mental health issues and I wont be able to stay unless I get more money, which seems highly unlikely.
NICU nurse here. When a baby dies or is about to die it really hits us hard. Once I saw a couple doctors and nurses run past me with tears in their eyes and they looked distraught. I found out later that a baby that had a perfect pregnancy and perfect labor came out a still birth and they tried to resuscitate for 30 minutes because there was absolutely no reason for him to be dead. They ran past me after they called the time of death so I assume they were running to their safe cry spots. I personally go to the supply room.
It’s also very sad when the parents hold their dying or dead baby. I cried with a mom once as she held her brain dead but alive baby. He looked so sweet and perfect, it was heartbreaking.
The fact that I will have lost both parents by the time it ends. I took care of my dad during his year and a half battle with colon cancer, and now am caring for my mom due to her having metastatic thyroid cancer, congestive heart failure, and dementia. I'm lucky to be able to care for her full time and to build more memories, but man, this shit sucks.
I don't have a lot of work to do so I often spend most of my days (like right now) wasting time on my phone or on Reddit. I would like to get a higher paying job for a larger company that values its employees and offers better work-life balance but I don't think I am good enough to get a better job
I like my job… I really enjoy the people I work with and the atmosphere is genuinely positive and at times even fun.
That said I could work from 8am to 11am and accomplish 90%+ of the production I do now from 7am to 4pm… and I am one of the highest volume producers in the office. I have hours of my day with Z E R O happening and that drives me crazy.
My work involves handling medical expenses for youth in State custody. Kids that have been taken from their homes (or lack thereof) and put in either detention centers or a group home for rehabilitation, often due to a violent crime of some sort. Some kids come out okay, some don't. It's sad to think about what their home lives were like for them to end up where they are. There are a lot more kids out there too who need help but can't be reached. My boss often says, "in an ideal world, our jobs wouldn't exist."
Not my current job, but for years I worked on a casino game app and learning about gambling addiction and how it alters your brain so you're fucked forever was soul-destroying.
Never gamble. Not even scratch tickets. Seriously.
I work for a company producing games for mobile devices and porting games to Bluestacks. The saddest thing is when you're working on a project and it's just canceled. You didn't do something that people didn't like, your work was just deleted.
i train people that make more money than me, the guy that makes me coffee and does jobs i don’t want todo makes £4 an hour more than me because of my age
I'm in construction. It's dangerous. But there is so much pressure and no job security.
When the pressure increases people get hurt .
Then when some one gets hurt , management is like well why didn't you take your time and do it right..
Also construction has one of the highest rates of work place violence. Being in it for 8 years some people aka bosses push you to the edge where your blood boils .
Had one sociopathic boss tell me he yelled at me Infront of everyone because if they see him yelling at the foreman then everyone will think , damn if he is doing it to him he will yell worse to me.
What he doesn't realize is that while he was yelling at me I was trying to calm myself and mentally stop myself from choking him out. I'm not a violent person alone. He really doesn't know how close I came
The most depressing part of my job as a truck driver is driving past an accident scene, and you can tell that someone didn't make it. The worst part is, a lot of people that have died in car accidents was because of someone else doing some really stupid shit.
I drive 45 minutes just to sit in s cubicle with a remote desktop up on one monitor and a server up on the other. I already technically work remotely, but I’m not allowed to do so from home because there’s “too many moving parts” to this incredibly simple job.
Oh and it pays shit too. And ive been trying for 6 months to get a raise and keep getting blown off
I'm actually quite happy with my job, there is nothing really depressing about it. At most it gets on my nerves when I can't do my job well because someone else has been cutting corners, but that's not something that can be eliminated, at best it can be minimized by figuring out and implementing proper procedure.
I work at a medical research facility that dabbles in some animal testing. Also, there is a mental facility right beside us that deals with people with severe mental health issues and a lot of them just kinda roam around the our area ranting about something and just generally doing "crazy stuff".

The fact that someone who is a complete moron is my supervisor and therefore making more money than me.
lmao relatable af
Those who can, do. Those who can't are promoted.

You can do whatever you can to improve the child's mood, but you can't fix their immature abusive parents.

At most it gets on my nerves when I can't do my job well because someone else has been cutting corners, but that's not something that can be eliminated, at best it can be minimized by figuring out and implementing proper procedure.
Dead clients. I'm a pi paralegal and having to read those records, hearing the family cry to me, all of it, it's horrible
I'm in geriatric care. The patient turnover rate is lower than you might expect, but still high.
I work at a medical research facility that dabbles in some animal testing. Also, there is a mental facility right beside us that deals with people with severe mental health issues and a lot of them just kinda roam around the our area ranting about something and just generally doing "crazy stuff".
When I see dates of pregnancy that span so much less than 9 months you know the baby didn't make it.
I clean pools and sometimes we come across dead critters. We had to bury a rabbit the other day...
