I know three (civilian) people who pulled that shit off before. But the FACT is that none would be able to do that now. Not to mention that the OP is in the military, so it is much more complicated than that. Yes, I agree that choosing a bad job/position is more often the fault of the person in it and they should do what they must to make it better if it is, in fact, that bad but it just isn't practical to just up and leave a position like that right now, not the way things are right now.

yeah well theres guys here. RIGHT NOW. that think ctis is the answer to everything. whats fucking stupid is. they have these rpg nets that surround the entire vehicle. the bracket for the the rear net doors blocks you from even getting the spare tire off. USELESS. so if we do get a flat we are waiting for the wreckers which thankfully tf phoenix has plenty of. i <3 the army...

were on our 3rd GM since the store opened in the beginning of december 2011. super shady business. greedy ass owners who only give employees a 30% discount rather than everyone else's 50%. the CUSTOMERS getting better discounts than we do, thus making our discount basically useless. i normally dont get home until around 12am, or even 1am. hell last week i didnt get home until 2am. delivery drivers get 1$ per delivery, regardless of how short or how far away it is. however, we charge a 3$ delivery charge to the customers to have it delivered. 3-1=2. so 2 dollars that the OWNERS make when the DRIVERS deliver food. not to mention the other dollar from the delivery fee makes it so the owners dont lose any money on giving us mileage. no set schedules, and they sure as hell will only work anyone whos not a manager around 30 hours. no matter what, they dont want u taking home overtime pay. and what i found out yesterday.... the assistant managers still only make minimum wage just like everyone else does, but they do way more. im not sure how much the GM makes, but i dont think its alot. i need a new job... |

I started out hating my job my boss was a dick and everyone hated me because i made more money there the first week then most the guys that have been there 5-7 years. I help make 60% of all the clam shell tents - personell tents and hangers the military use. I have learned to like my job i look forward to getting up to going to work. We have had allot of changes lately working 10-12 hour days and 8-10 hour saturdays. But with my pay and the OT i get its well worth it now. Plus there is nothing like being the lead CNC opperator and not really having to do anything because im over a week ahead of the lay out / welders. Im also up for another review / raise in 30 days.
If any of you are wanting a ok job and wiling to relocate the company i work for are looking to hire people that have skills in Blue print reading and able to run RF Welders. If you dont have allot of skills but you are a hard worker looking to learn we train everyone. We have some really dumb people come in but give them 5-6 months and there running there own machines and doing most things on there own ..

Stuffing fat asses feet into shoes they have no business wearing and dealing with shit head kids isn't ideal, but I didn't have to try for the job so I can't really complain.

I don't mind my current job at all. I work in a warehouse environment in LA that has an inconsistent work load (although lately it's been getting better). Some days we'll work our ass off and leave late. I just see it as good excercise. Other times it's really laid back. Most of my co-workers are great (it is just stressful when you don't get along). There are really good places to have lunch nearby. Our company is fairly lax with time off, and I probably take 5-6 weeks off a year for vactions.
What I don't care for is that we have a few emotionally unstable drama queens at the office we have to work with, but nothing that gets out of hand. This is a company where almost nobody gets fired, so it also has its drawbacks. It's also ultimately a dead-end job. Nothing I can learn at this point, but I'm also working on my MA at the same time. Commute isn't so good, but not terrible. Get stuck in traffic for around 2 hrs each day. I'd rate 2/10 (it is a good place to work). |

Had gotten a new job that I hated about 5 months ago. It paid extraordinarily well, but the boss was a tyrant and the company was volatile. I got let go after 2 months because they ran out of investment capital.
Seemed like a terrible thing at the time, but now I have a better job, with nice people, and it pays even better, so it all worked out very well. I'm feeling very lucky right now, actually.

Working in general sucks.
Only jobs I wouldn't hate: Formula 1 pit crew Porno film guy Ferrari test driver Lol, but in all seriousness I can only tolerate my current job until something better comes along. Bills won't pay themselves |

I love my work. I love what I do. I love to design, I'm not even sure it matters what i design so long as I have access to a work station. Pro-E, autocad, catia, co-create, solidworks... all at my disposal. It's a beautiful thing. I only wish I could work over-time so I could accomplish more.
Only thing I don't like is the office environment. I work at a company that you will never know you're doing anything wrong until you get your review a year later. It's stressful to work with people you know have fucked you and still smile and ask how your day is. People who fucked you for no other reason than that they are bored. In addition I'm the youngest(not least tenured) person here so any time my findings are challenged they are instantly thrown out. If I have a project that someone thinks should have been done differently I can pretty much start shredding. The worst is when on person makes you change something only for someone elso to come along and change it back. Once you've done the same project 4 times it gets old, and you look bad, and you've wasted time, and you haven't gained anything, and your boss starts calling, and you've hurt someone's feelings by making it this way instead of that. When the fourth redo is just going to be the way you did it originally. Somethimes I feel even though I'm the youngest person here(at least 5-7 years) I work with children. |

-Worked for "CSD" for 3 years. -When I initially got on board I was under the impression that this would be my foot in the door and would open up more opportunities once I would graduate. Years ago this was the case. -I get rejected from about 10 "CSD" full time positions that are exclusive to those already employed by the "CSD". -Turns out "CSD" doesnt classify their student workers as employees under "CSD" rather than employees of the department that hired them. Thus making me ineligible for those jobs. I feel like I wasted my fucking time these past 3 years when I couldve interned while still in college and possibly of met the right people by now that could've helped me out. Man I feel so stupid and lead on.

Unfortunately I'm stuck at this job declining pay raises and dealing with the typical drama associated in IT. Before this, I was a Net Admin - loved that job - and now work here and live in a small one bedroom apartment with my fiancee. Now, I can't take a pay raise or I loose my daughter's insurance. Seriously, the state will drop her over $40 per month. So I have to sit below the poverty line in order to make sure that my daughter gets proper medical insurance, but won't pay for something that could benefit her (Hyperbaric Oxygenation therapy, which I somehow have to come up with nearly $7000 for). Cerebral Palsy and a brain injury. Easily the most stressful situation I have been in. /rant

You're not even kidding. I work as a mechanical engineering co-op at IBM and it's like this. Every idea I have either gets taken and passed of as someone elses or it gets thrown out for a worse idea. I say every but that's not the case, a lot of them. I know I'm young and new and don't know how things work yet but I can tell you that this corporate work style isn't the way it needs to be. When managers breath down your neck for no reason other than to make it appear that they are working hard and they question you constantly only so it appears they're covering their asses it makes it impossible to get any work done. I worked three weeks here and they told me to slow down and pace myself because I was working too fast and getting my assignments done. I'm sorry I grew up working my ass off on the family farm and learned how to work efficiently and quickly. |
