I hate my job!!!

Started by andys gibson sg (James Harris) in Chit-Chat

Guys need ya advice :(

I’ve been working at a arcade for like a year now and did so that I could have enough dosh to support myself and keep my home since moving off of the isle of wight etc etc… but seriously I’m really fucked off with the people there. They’ve treated me like shit frankly and the customers are worst! I leave everyday feeling depressed, frustrated and basicly fed up to say the least.

I don’t wanna just quit cuz I need the money and finding work at the mo is becoming impossible and like I say I’m getting shit the longer I stay there so I really want to get out asap!!!

Anyone else ever felt this way in a job before - what have you done? The only time I’ve jacked it in was working at McDonalds but I was younger then and things weren’t so bad not having a job.

So umm… help! :(

Why don’t you start looking for a new job, just don’t give up your current work before you have a new one. There’s no need to lose any money…

I’ve applied to many places and haven’t had any luck.
I just don’t feel like staying there getting verbal abuse and even yesterday this guy just randomly grabbed my arm after I helped him and I had to tell him to get the fuck off! I don’t like the job or the people and is infact now making my home life a misery.

Just don’t give up… finding a job you realy like isn’t that easy.
I was just lucky that my job found me… I’ve had some problems keeping it though, but it seems that I’m safe again for another year :p

So would you stay at a job if you honestly felt like you were being discriminated?

I would… rather that than being unemployed!
But I would try damn hard to find another job, eventually you could take another (temporary) shit-job like washing dishes or whatever, and keep on searching for a good job again.

Like the sig, by the way. No one ever did get my quote in the Movie Quotes thread.

I’d love to do part-time work, hopefully it be paid monthy. Eventually giving me enough spare time to study psychology at the open university.

But I’ve been holding out for months for different employment. :(

I’d say pack the fucker in - it’s not worth getting so pissed off for a lousy paycheck.

Put in Jobseekers Allowance and Housing Benefit claims, then register with a load of employment agencies - they should be able to get you something quickly, even if it’s bar work or call centre work etc. And work for the agency whilst applying for something better.

Well I’m getting £5.35 a hour for: cleaning the place up, being security - kicking people and barring them (just me do groups of chavs go easily…?), fixing machines and when they want their sugar or milk for their tea/coffee I have to get it, and I barely get a ten minute break - even when working a 9 hour shift! All this for 6 days a week, 47 hours! Also find most of my wages goes towards traveling :(

From anyones experience is bar work difficult…?

If you have experience of kicking out chavs then Wetherspoons will have you for sure -it’s not so hard - just smile and nod, suck air in between your teeth and say “terrible” a lot

I used to work in a busy town centre pub, weekend nights were great. I was lucky to work with a good set of people and we all became very good friends, plus its a buzz working, can have a laugh with the vast majority of the customers and time seems to fly.

Working during the day, you get the usual locals and the fucking wasters propping the bar up all day which can get a bit tedious. The work is not particularly hard though.

I had a cleaning job that i put up with for 2 years and i was close to drinking myself to death cos i hated it that much.
I was on a shit wage and having to clean up after wankers that got paid 3 times as much as me, looking down on me all day. It made me feel like shit.
So one day I said fuck it, I’m never going back.
The best choice I ever made.

Mr SG do you have any qualifications or anything? What kind of work have you done in the past? What you need to do is work out what job you ideally WANT to do, and if that isn’t attainable at present then take steps towards that job.

@ AG_sg If your job is really making you depressed and ill then go to the doctor and get signed off for a couple of weeks. It can’t do any harm, and will give you a chance to think about what you want to do.

If you think you are being badly treated then get yourself some good advice from the CAB or somewhere. I believe that everyone is legally entitled to a proper break every 4 hours for a start!

Good luck :)
