"I’m starting a new club, called the Hate Our Jobs Club. Anyone want to join? I’ll start. I’ve been tasked with organising an event, and the bright idea of the leadership team is that we hold it during the summer holidays. You know, when everyone’s kids are off school and everything is hugely expensive. So instead of thinking of our staff, we’re doing it then anyway because ‘it’s a privilege to be asked to an event’. There are plenty of other reasons, but that’s the latest. Bag of Dicks. Your turn!" Nope i love mine, if you hate it leave, jobs you dont like but stick, the not like aspect is created either by the people you work with generally or its the exact opposite you love the people but hate the job | |||

There are plenty of other reasons, but that’s the latest. Bag of Dicks. Your turn!" I wanna say I hate my job but they feed me. Lol! yes wages but actual food too...so... Plus it's great entertainment for me to watch the 20-year-olds mess about and for me to round rings around my 20-something managers too. The last time I sent an email about my neurodivergent brain to my managers, 2 of them quit. Lol! I feel another email coming on for the new managers. I also get free wifi and electricity at work so...... The only thing missing is a shower. Anytime I don't want to do anything, I just claim health and safety and that makes them anxious. But mostly, I behave and putter about until my retirement. I'm usually the last person to go home with the manager/supervisor because I've been there so long, I know what to do in an emergency....like when they don't know how to lock the door or set the alarm. Lol! Plus I live nearby. It's 10 minutes on my e-bike. No trains, no buses, no parking. no speed cameras...not that I cycle that fast. | |||

I wanted to be a lawyer but the environment was toxic to me and I didn't know I was neurodivergent. I can't imagine not working but that's due to my neurodivergent traits. I can't sit at home doing nothing...that's like my worst nightmare. yeah, the first lockdown was bad. The second lockdown I hired a personal trainer to see twice a week. I volunteered for Citizens Advice and that's a lot like legal advisory work so if anything I will go back to working for the legal charities like Citizens Advice or Shelter. the people and the environment are much nicer and they actually get that hey everyone is different and comes from different backgrounds and capabilities. And I never saw my managers and supervisors at Citizens advice talk to anyone like trash. Paid workers or volunteers. And we are trained not to judge or talk down to people no matter their circumstances. For my retirement job, I hope I can sweep the beaches, in the Caribbean or the Mediterranean. | |||

" "the running around like a headless chicken because some bellend wants something ridiculous doing..." This exactly described many of my customers. Lol! When I've had enough, I go lock myself in the loo and refuse to come out and tell the 20-something manager that I don't get paid enough to talk to dumb customers and my knee hurts and I feel stressed. Lol! I'm not even bothered if they fire me because then I can get some disability discrimination compensation to retire to the Tropics with a rum bar. I've been to court so many times that I'm not even scared. Try me Bitches!! | |||

"Plenty of jobs out there. If you don’t like yours go and get another one. " Easily said, much harder done. Sometimes people are ‘just’ in a trough and suffering while waiting for the next peak. But, when you’re thinking about the job market, the current level of unemployment in this country is 1.3 million. That’s just under 4% of the workforce. When you then factor in location radius, skills and qualifications, interests, pay and benefits requirements, availability and all the other things one has to consider, heavily compounded by the ratio of applicants to jobs; this is a daunting and difficult task. It’s rarely as easy as saying “just get another job”. | |||

"For a bit of balance, we employ staff. This year we tried to introduce reduced working hours. No catch; same terms and pay just rota of time off. I kid you not, mass hysteria at the requirement to work a full (remaining) week on any bank holiday week (ie no reduced hrs when there is a bank hol as company needs the coverage to look after customers). Four people resigned. " It's rather hard for people with children to get childcare on bank holidays, unless they have family or friends available. I have rarely taken jobs requiring BH working as part of the contract for this very reason. If you are changing people's T&C's after they've been recruited, then you should expect some not to like it. Assuming all statutory consultations were undertaken when amending the rota system that people had agreed to work under? | |||

"I never understand why people spend so much time at a place and with people they don't like? If you're good at your Job, there are lots of vacancies in all industries with decent pay, so why not change Jobs? I expect you've been there a long time, it's boring, you now what you need to do and you can get away with doing as little as possible and you're scared of change. I've been running my own business for 30 years next year in something I'm very passionate about. I'm not rich and sometimes it's a struggle but the places I've been and the people I meet have been amazing. It's definitely not all plain sailing but I never have that Monday morning feeling, never dread going to work and don't have to answer to anyone. If you don't like it, change it. I did."

"I never understand why people spend so much time at a place and with people they don't like? If you're good at your Job, there are lots of vacancies in all industries with decent pay, so why not change Jobs? I expect you've been there a long time, it's boring, you now what you need to do and you can get away with doing as little as possible and you're scared of change. I've been running my own business for 30 years next year in something I'm very passionate about. I'm not rich and sometimes it's a struggle but the places I've been and the people I meet have been amazing. It's definitely not all plain sailing but I never have that Monday morning feeling, never dread going to work and don't have to answer to anyone. If you don't like it, change it. I did." Er, the salary and locked in to a generous pension scheme. When I was supporting 5 of us my alternatives were limited and I had to suck it up | |||

"Plenty of jobs out there. If you don’t like yours go and get another one. Easily said, much harder done. Sometimes people are ‘just’ in a trough and suffering while waiting for the next peak. But, when you’re thinking about the job market, the current level of unemployment in this country is 1.3 million. That’s just under 4% of the workforce. When you then factor in location radius, skills and qualifications, interests, pay and benefits requirements, availability and all the other things one has to consider, heavily compounded by the ratio of applicants to jobs; this is a daunting and difficult task. It’s rarely as easy as saying “just get another job”." The jobcentre got me the job I have now. The whole application process was too daunting for me. They know I'm technically crazy so they know not to put me in certain types of jobs...They also kind of monitored my employers for 6 months. Lol! I was on probation but my employers were on probation to help me keep the job and get off the sick! So with that information, I'm less scared of losing my job so it's taken a lot of the pressure off. Plus I hate staying home sick. Hospital is worst. If I escape the hospital they will send the cops after me so....Best if I don't get sick and have to go on the sick. One time I had to tell my manager "look, I don't know when I'm coming back to work, the psychiatrist has to let me out! I'm not free to go on my own" Yeah management didn't ask any more questions after that and didn't write me up for sickness procedure. Luckily I live in London so there are always jobs going. I have no idea what they do in places like Hull, Bradford and Blackpool... at least the job centre is warmer than most people's homes now. | |||

"I am unemployed. so I moan I never have enough money" Hugs. I can't do it. The last time I was unemployed I said to the woman at the job centre "look I can't stay home, I tried to unalive myself 3 weeks ago. I need to get out of the house".She fucking save my life when the mental health team discharged me with no meds and no therapy. They gave me a bus pass and sent me to job training and interviews all over south London. I know people hate jobcentres and the DWP but I'm forever grateful for the help they gave me when I was at a real low life threatening point. | |||

"For a bit of balance, we employ staff. This year we tried to introduce reduced working hours. No catch; same terms and pay just rota of time off. I kid you not, mass hysteria at the requirement to work a full (remaining) week on any bank holiday week (ie no reduced hrs when there is a bank hol as company needs the coverage to look after customers). Four people resigned. " Cackle. Yeah that would throw me into mass hysteria too. I think it was the ....final straw for the people who resigned. My work asked us to come in on Easter Sunday. The two days for the last 40 years that we didn't have to come in were Easter Sunday and Christmas day. I know the devout born-again Christian aint coming in. I'm the irreverent maverick Christian and I ain't going in either and I'm only contracted two days a week. You know why I'm not going because New year's day I worked and my brain checked out before I left work. I cycled all the way home before I realized that I left my house keys and my purse at work....after the building was locked and everyone had gone home. Thank God the neighbours let me in. Change is hated by the majority of neurodivergent people and people with mental health conditions. You literally have to hold our hand through it or we freak the fuck out...and resign...lol! | |||

"I don't mind my job. Other than the fact they make me go in 5 days a week, what's that all about? " I gave up working 5 days...on contract. I work two contractual days and I work more...if I feel like it. Lol! Or rather if my brain isn't trying to sabotage me from feeling like it. | |||

"I have to say - I found out two guys are paid 50% more than me to do the same job (but they don’t put the shift in as I do)… also interviewed for a similar role to mine and yup it was a pay rise to 50% more. But to be honest - better to be in a job than leave in a huff" Ooh ahh an opportunity to see the inside of the Employment Tribunal.....again...Lol! | |||

I kid you not, mass hysteria at the requirement to work a full (remaining) week on any bank holiday week (ie no reduced hrs when there is a bank hol as company needs the coverage to look after customers). Four people resigned. It's rather hard for people with children to get childcare on bank holidays, unless they have family or friends available. I have rarely taken jobs requiring BH working as part of the contract for this very reason. If you are changing people's T&C's after they've been recruited, then you should expect some not to like it. Assuming all statutory consultations were undertaken when amending the rota system that people had agreed to work under? " Now why would they do a step-by-step process like a consultation to get employee feed back....nah just shoved it in and if they don't like it they can leave....and 4 of them did. If my managers play dirty with me, I'll play dirty with them. The last time they tried to fire me, they had HR, Occupational Health, the Employee Assistance Programme team, my GP and the employment advisor from the mental health team breathing down their back. Yeah, they start to panic when I use the words "reasonable adjustments for disabilities and health conditions." I know plenty of employees who had to be signed off for work-related stress because nobody considered that hey they might freak out if we change their stable routine. | |||

I just don't work Mondays any more. Lol! Yeah every time I have to go to work..something in my brain says "do not go" So I can spend up to two hours convincing myself to go to work even though I hate staying home all of the time!! It's just my brain. I have to give myself a pep talk to leave the house all of the time...and to get out of bed...and to go the fuck to sleep. smh. this is why I don't have children or a spouse. | |||

"I don't hate my job or career, but I do feel thoroughly uninspired by it. It's a means to an end with good pay and benefits and I've always been the type that didn't know what I wanted to do when inwas in school so it's unlikely I can successfully change careers. Also, it's a cushy desk job with routine hours so easy for me to plan my life around it " I definitely feel underutilized in my job but then I forget my flat keys at work and the neighbours have to let me in. Yeah I'd rather stay in my easy and safe lane and watch everyone else run around frantically. I'm too old to be frantic anymore. | |||

If people want to run away every time things get hard instead of working it out then that's their prerogative. Interestingly no one has raised a grievance against me or taken me to Employment Tribunal for constructive dismissal in 9 years. But they have raised grievances against management. That was fun to watch a manager take the other managers to court. I'm not part of their 3 ringed circus or rodeo. | |||

You are entitled to your opinion if you think that one or two persons who have zero authority over anyone and who only work part-time can make a workplace toxic. If 2 of my colleagues or managers are fighting each other....I just get popcorn...I don't join in contrary to popular belief/opinion. I might work at the circus but I'm not a performing monkey and I don't technically own it so if they wanna trash it, as long as I get paid I'm good. | |||
