I have come to the point in my current career, where I really hate my job. I dont mean just today or just a little. Everytime I walk in to the building, I just take a deep breath, sigh and my shoulders droop. I really really hate that place. Its not just that my vacation pay was forgotten or that I never got my raise, or that I bust more butt than I have (and I have a butt) Its that no one else cares anymore either. It used to be the highlight of my day to know that when I got to work it would be a blast, i would get to make money and spend the day with my friends. Some of my friends have moved on, and others have gone and come back, but its not the same. Its a depressing atmosphere no one feels appreciated and no one wants to step up, because stepping up gets you nothing, no good shifts not even a thank you. its brutal and i like brutal. not anymore.

So f'in true. I bust my ass a my job and see people with higher salaries than me doing next to nothing and getting even more money thrown at them. It's fucking insulting. And it's makes you wan to be mediocre just to fit in.

I have this same experience at my job. I see this was posted quite a while ago, and I hope things have gotten better.
