Re: I Hate my job Posted by: steph on July 14, 19101 at 17:46:06: In Response to: Re: I Hate my job posted by Andy on July 11, 19101 at 10:37:26: My google search led me here in search of a place to tell me just how bad a job has to be before you should leave. I keep saying to myself that maybe it's just me, maybe I expect too much, maybe I'm too hard on everyone. I'm not convinced, though just enough to keep at it. I work for a school. A community college. Nuf said. If you know what it's like to work in the bureaucracy and incompetance that is our government institutions...oh, and not to mention the terrible salaries... $15 an hour at the home depot?!? I wish! I make less than $12 an hour after taxes. I save no money. I make just enough to pay my bills. As my first jo out of college, that would be fine. Except that the work environment is HORRIBLE. I don't know how many times I cry and cry because of this awful job. I'm actually here on a Saturday right now, doing work that should be done by someone else, but no one else seems to think so, so they let it pile up on me. Not in my job description, but neither is indentured servant though that seems to be what I am. Oh, and no overtime here, either. I'm working on 50 hours overtime right now, in 2 months. UNPAID. It's bullsh**t. But the project doesn't end for another year, and it seems that everyone thinks you have to stick around for the length of the project, and I feel like they'd make life miserable if I quit beforehand. At least for the 2 weeks I'd have to suffer through it... Is the experience worth the pain and suffering (emotional as well as physical)? I don't know. And my boss is nuts. I'm pretty sure he has ADD. And let's not forget the other lady (professor) here, who gets paid about 4 times as much as I do who does nothing. IN fact, i do her job FOR her (findig profs to interview, etc). Along with all my other work. Funny, i didn't know my skills were worth so little. Yeah.....i think it's about time to leave. It's so sad that people can make work so miserable. Can turn people who are willing and able to be great wor... (truncated) Follow Ups
