I dread going to my job so much that I search these boards for some glimmer of hope
I realize how difficult it is to get a job these days, and that I should be grateful for the one that I have.

I work the entire time when I’m in the office - I don't browse the web, I don't take lunch, and I'm only texting when IT kicks me off my machine. They bait-and-switched me on what I'd actually be doing at work, so it's not even 9-10 hours a day of something that I enjoy. I spend the day apologizing for being behind when I'm constantly late on projects because I keep getting one thing after another dumped on me, and then nothing else that I depend on to complete these projects is actually correct.

I come home each day drained and exhausted, and I'm still not even working the weekends the way that they clearly expect me to. I have 30+ emails that have come in since Friday at 5:30, when I left early.

They’re all chirpy and friendly, and honestly, I rather like the people that I work with on a personal level. It’s a nice office, with a pretty view out my window.

However, I’ve seen someone there, that has worked there for years, work a 70 hour week and then still be expected to work when vomiting to the point that it was debated if they should go to a hospital.

That's how they treat their "family".

I don't know what I've done to offend God to let me stumble into this place.

I know that I curse all of you false prophets speaking of meteors and wars and earthquakes.

Curse you and your false hope.

Stop.

Work life sucks. There's not too many people out there that actually thoroughly enjoy what they do. Everyone deals with overbearing coworkers who expect other people to do their jobs for them

The most enjoyable times I have had at a job, was when I was a contractor. Got paid and went home,..no politics and nobody felt threatened by "the new guy" trying to take their job or make them look bad. I woke up every day happy even though I made less money. I was approached by several of the companies I worked for and offered a full time position.

Good things are on the horizon for you,...that's how the mechanics of life are,...in a way your blessed by going through a crappy experience because you'll really appreciate it when times are good. Life provides all of us with contrasting experiences,...it has to. Everybody really wants to feel content,...find what makes you content,...not what makes you the most money and ends up enslaving you.

I would start off contacting a temp agency,...I have had a lot of success with them.....always lead to better doors being opened.

LOL. I feel the exact same way. I look at GLP ten times a day hoping to see the DOW has dropped 5000, or a nuke is incomingn whatever.

Humans weren't made to live in this kind of system, the day in and day out rut. And most of us are caught in it because we weren't born into money. I hear people here crowing about how wealthy they are and how they would never work a normal job. For every person like that there are ten thousand who grind it out daily to make it.

I feel ya man. Every night I think, maybe tomorrow is the day all this fake bullshit ends.

I'm contemplating suicide cause I hate my job so much, on top of other things.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64603395


I get there sometimes. You know...if it ever gets to the point of me actually making a plan and doing it, I think I will just kill my life instead. Declare bankruptcy, move to a whole different state, start over and forget it all. I think suicide is really just a persone saying, the choices I have made and the way this world has taken me is intolerable.

So if it gets that bad, go somewhere and start over. Memories fade and time really does heal the wounds.

You knew what you were signing up for when you decided to get an office job. In 10 years, a machine will be able to replace you as a worker, so try to hang in until then.

Re: I dread going to my job so much that I search these boards for some glimmer of hope
I am in a similar position OP, I am grateful for my job.
But I find it very difficult to to do the job.

My manager sets me tasks to do, but my daily work is scheduled by a different department.
So my normal daily work is 50 hours a week, but my manager want me to work evenings and weekends to do our departments work.

So even though I have been with the company less than 1 year and I am one of the best at what I do, I get a one on my appraisal by my manager because I am not given time to do my work.

Whichever work I do, I am under stress from the other to do more. Now I do have ten people under me and in theory they should do my work and each time they do, more work is found by this other department.

Basically the more I do, the more work is found for me to do.
I think things will come to a head soon, because of the stress I am now not eating or sleeping properly which is making things more difficult.

Re: I dread going to my job so much that I search these boards for some glimmer of hope
I feel the same way. Eventually I couldn't take it anymore and I just up and quit my job. I went on a long road trip alone and camped in some national forests. It was glorious. It was like being able to breathe again after an asthma attack. Then I ran out of savings and had to go back to work. Back into the asthma attack. And it was much harder to find another job with the employment gap, and it's a worse job than before. I thought about hanging myself from an overpass during rush hour, but that's what they want you to do. Don't give up, don't let them win. This is a fucked up society but you can't give up. I'm pretty sure that glimmer of hope will happen some time in our lives because this is all just utterly unsustainable on every level. So just hang in there, and be alive to see what is to come.

I was that way for a long stretch OP, about 15 years as a matter of fact. just one train wreck after another and that is the main reason people probably are drawn to the doom presented here. It's the only chance some have of escaping this ridiculous slave contract most of us all been sucked into.

one of these days it's going to happen and calling in to work will not even be necessary.

You know what? I never realized it, but that's exactly how I feel. Recently, I've been hoping to get cancer so that I wouldn't have to deal with serious issues both at work and at home (I've got no place to run), but DOOM would do just fine, too.

Just put me out of my misery.

Obviously you got the job because your predicessor died at it.

Work you 40 hours only. All they can do about it is to fire your ass. Which you is what you yern for anyway.

Or you could say something to your boss like, "Look you cheap heartless fuck, hire enough people for the job or shut your goddamned pie hole", then slow down even more.

I hear you op. The stress and the tight deadlines get to me too. I also come here everyday to see when it might all go down. I so sick worrying about my job, that I can barely tolerate it. I loved my job but then the shop got a new manager. Everything is "hurry up quicker" I feel sick to my stomach some days from the stress. I pray to God that something will happen. I feel like I'm hanging by a thread. This is no way to spend my life.
