To quote Randal Graves "This job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers". I like my job alot, but the customers can drive me nuts.

took the words right out of my mouth bro. I graduated in may with a information tech degree and im still stuck doing banking. Trying to move within Regions Bank, into their IT dept. but they have put a hold on all tranfers/hires while the whole union planters/Regions conversion is final (which will be in december). Hell, even then, no guarantees. So im with Drs. I don't hate my job, just tired of it. Been doing it for 6 years now and I can do it in my sleep. Quite bored of it and wanna get started at what I like to do. My time is coming, currently looking elsewhere even though I don't wanna do that. 6 years with a solid company, hard to look elsewhere but I'm against the wall here. Things will work out, They always do [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Can you provide some more details on what your skills are and what direction you are headed in the IT world?

Don't hate it, but I work in Dilbert land. I swear you could write at least a Dilbert a day about my IT dept.

I don't hate my job. I just hate the convicts and what they did to end up where they are. It's a decent job, and someone has to do it.

Re: Hate yer job thread?

I am in IT and sucks. You gotta love working in an environment were everything is critical and has to be done right now. On top of that, even if you're good you still get treated like a dog. I'd advise against anyone thinking of going into IT, unless you are allowed to specialize in one area. At my company, we are expected to know every aspect of things, and they are always implementing new technology. Of course I'm call 24/7 too. Do you think that if you are on vacation they would leave you alone? Nope. What about being home sick? Not a chance.

Wwwwhhhhhaaaaaa!!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Okay that's enough whining. Back to our regularly scheduled topic. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Hate yer job thread?

I have worked at TGI Fridays for 8years, Delphi (4 years of factory work), I've worked as a machinist/toolmaker for a couple years, which actually was an interesting job. I was a sales rep for my best friends countertop fabrication shop for 3 years that almost cost my freindship. Too "cushy" for me. Just drive around all day talking to people. All those jobs sucked at one time or another. I finally figured out why.....Cuz I was workin' for the Man, and not for myself.

Now I am self employed. I work at home and I love it. I use the artistic ability God gave me everyday....nothing quite like it! I hope I never have to punch a clock again! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Hate yer job thread?

I have two jobs, one dish washing, one removing and fitting fridges.

dish washing job sucks beyond belief, it's good for when you're at college and do work there now and then, but when you don't have to go to college any more, you just don't want to do it.

My other job isn't bad, i get paid a good amount of money and i have a laugh now and then. Bit dangerous though, if i could work there full time, i would.

LOL! Ditto on that one!

We just laid off 13 regulars yeasterday, so for the few that remain, they need more automation, more IT help, yet we need to cut the IT budget more than 10% (we have an extremely lean budget as it is). This is the third or forth year of the annual layoffs. Upper management sucks, the holding company that owns us hires only the "best". Yep, this place is going down in flames.

It would be a good place to work if they could only figure out how to make money / sell shit.

I'm on full disability due to kidney failure. Yes, I'm living on your social security...thank you. Well, I worked enough years and paid into it for long enough, I don't think I'm tapping into your money yet.

Hate...strong word. No, I don't hate it, but I really wish I was back to being a productive member of soceity instead of feeling like a drain on it.

Someday I'll get a transplant and get back to work...then bitch about my job. And love every minute of it!

Re: Hate yer job thread?

I'm a hotel manager. I can't say that I hate my job. I'm paid well, housing supplied, and I like meeting different people everyday. It does get to be a drag being on call 24/7. Nothing like having to ALWAYS stop what I'm doing because the hotel is on the phone..gets old quick. My boss is cool too, that helps a lot.

When I know that money is going towards helping good people like yourself that are in true need, it couldn't possibly bother me one bit at all.

Chuck, that is exactly what it is there for. And I know you've worked more than hard enough in your life to more than deserve it. So, hush. hehe...

Re: Hate yer job thread?

I don't "hate" my job. I love what I do, I just hate the conditions in which I have to perform them under.
@khabibissell... been there and done that.
I've been in IT long enough now that I'm not on call anymore. I feel for ya bro. Nothing like being called at 3:00 am to fix something that should have been left alone in the first place.
I work for IBM as a Network Security Analyst now. I get paid to break into peoples networks, so it's fun.
I just hate all the politcal BS that comes with it.
