You know you job sucks when.....

Michael Jackson comes in when I'm not there.

bombshell

this is why my job sucks

:everyday i walk in trying to convince myself not to kill myself in front of everyone with a box cutter
:i have 5 bosses over me.. so when i get a complaint i hear it 5 times
:i have to smile.. and i'm not the smiling type
:i'm a fucking barista.... coffee jobs suck goat shit backwards thru a tube of mentholated wasabi
:people constantly mistake the palce for starbucks
:granted it's not starbucks i still have to put up with corporation assholes telling me what to do and how to do it, and i'm the only one who has the heuvos to tell them to fuck off.
:i may get paid 7.75 an hour.. but really.. that equates to jack shit moneywise after bills and such.
:i injure myself daily either from scalds, jams, bumps, or cuts... but you could say that i'm just clumsy
:the borders i work at is attatched to a mall.... nuff said
:to many old asian women that look like their melting instead of comely lasses of virtuous age coming to get coffee from me
:when there's nothing to do, you still have to make it look like there's something to do
:the boredom normally leads to laziness, so when you wish there was something to do, when something pops up it pisses you off cos you have to move
:everyday i have to oil the capitalist machine with my blood....

reasons why my job is good
:people working there kick serious ass and are some of the best friends i've ever made
:everyone's sexually open with each other
:free caffine
:numerous beer hookups
:free food and candy
:the pleasure of getting to piss in someone's coffee and laughing at them as they compliment you on how well it tastes
:the thought that one day i'm gonna cum in somones latte and they're gonna like it (i get to be the guerilla terrorist of the food service industry)
:i get to wear whatever i want, have my hair whatever color, and pierce/ tatt watever i want
:i get free health dental and vision insurance as well as mad paid vacation time.

The way I look at it is people spend so much of their lives at work, that you might as well enjoy what you're doing...
Yeah, I'm not working at the moment, but I've got a few office interviews lined up, one will be nice cushy hours and just about tide me over financially, the other will be longish hours, (but nothing excessive) but the money is sweet...
Like a friend says, it's all about raising the coin...
Then again, he does medical trials to fund living like a king in Thailand for months at a time...

still haven't gotten my check, hey what's this (grabs the paper) Sears is having a mower sale.........hmmm

When you are there for almost 8 years, you like the people that you work with, you are getting paid a great wage, you have worked your way up in the organization, and one day your SVP shows up and says "We have eliminated your position". It's nothing personal and not due to your work.

We are eliminating 3% of the workforce in the company today.

I work 911 communications and dispatch.

My job sucks because I have to listen to what EVERYONE in the county area consider their "emergency".

Hey! I only got 9 McNuggets instead of 10 and they were COLD. Send help now!!!!!!

Had it before...Subway refused to refund a woman's money after she ate her sandwich. Luckily there are laws in place so you can now arrest people who abuse 911 after enough calls.

Excellent! This topic has been successfully risen from 2002. I have a funny feeling that with the economy as bad as it is, a lot of people want to express how bad their job does indeed....SUCK

I heard one time from a 911 dispatcher that a homeless guy just wanted a ride across town, unbelievable.

We get calls from non homeless people needing rides all the town. Locals think police provide taxi service.

Welcome to the club, I have been a member since December 2009. While the initiation sucks the membership is prestigious.

I am now looking to buy a business.

Good luck with your business, man tough climate right now.

I do a photo shoot for friends that promised me they would compensate me at a discount rate, and I end up getting stiffed

I wish I could punch people at work . i feel like this constantly.
I am on sick leave at the moment but i have to go back soon. and that sucks!
All because of fucking bills. If i have lovely family or family at all I would just stay with them like some people do and not be bothered with working. Unfortunately my life is not that fantastic and i have nobody who can pay my expenses.......

Kind of good that you did that.
