Why I hate my job
- Meetings, meetings, meetings. Everything gets discussed to hell and back.
- Capslock should never, ever, ever be used in a corporate environment. NEVER.
- I don’t care how much you’d like it to happen, boss, technical support can not help me violate the laws of physics and technology.
- I am not an engineer. Why the hell do you have me working on servers? Pay me for it or go away.
- 6 am sucks as a start time.
- My boss currently has like 13,000 emails in her mailbox. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get her to reply to an email?
- I have three weeks of vacation that I haven’t been able to take because I’m “the only person who can do my job”.
- Did I mention I’m the lowest paid person under my boss? I’m the only one still hourly, too, because she’s too damn busy to remember that she said a year ago she would promote me.
- It’s impossible to work here without backstabbing or being backstabbed.
- STOP WITH THE MANAGERIAL LEET SPEAK. WE ARE PEOPLE, NOT RESOURCES. YOU DO NOT ‘ENGAGE A RESOURCE’, YOU ASK AN ENGINEER FOR HELP. IT’S NOT AN ‘ACTION ITEM’, IT’S A TO-DO LIST.
- Bosses, please don’t micromanage. If you ask me to do something, trust that I’ll get it done without calling me at 11pm.
I’m sure I’ll be adding more to this as the day progresses.
