We All Hate Work

But the folks overseas must hate it even more if an amusement park is using that hatred of our jobs as part of their promotional campaign. Full Story of ihatework.co.uk. Link from Barney.

I have worked full time for 28 years and I hate it. Life is one long ,,unending series of things you dont want to do...cant wait to check out

Pink Lady said on 06/21/05 @ 07:25 AM:
I hate everyone I work with. I have never met such a bunch of inept people. The worst thing is they have all worked here longer than me and are considerably older, yet I do the work. Time to job hunt I think.

dylboy said on 07/05/05 @ 06:12 AM:
i wanna go home. couldnt be arsed with this stupid shit of a company anymore. in fact work in general is just wrong.

someone said on 07/14/05 @ 07:53 AM:
I hate my job.

I am tied in to spend the next six months here so can't even give myself the hope of finding something better.

My Boss and colleague think I am the skivey. The can't even get off thier fat rears to come and ask me a question. I have to get up from my desk and go to them. I don't mind doing the work but I do mind the lack of respect I get. Would the call up the CEO and ask him to come to thier desk.....I don't think so.

I get stared at as if they are challenging me to do something wrong.

They can never remember where anything is and I have to print everything out as they never remember where the files are located.

I hate working here. It depresses me every day but, as i said I am tied in and it would be financially detremental to leave......6 minths of hell.

Foodicus said on 08/24/05 @ 03:21 AM:
I hate work, I only started 6 weeks ago and am ready to quit. The work is stressful yet boring/uninteresting and requires long hours..

boobs said on 08/26/05 @ 07:06 PM:
I hate work. I like the people I work with for the most part, except for my boss and the HR guy. He's a complete moron. I just hate that my life is bought away from me, and I have no choice but to sell it. I don't get as much respect as I should for basically running the place. As an administrative assistant, I do everything and get paid the least.

Emma Wilson said on 09/09/05 @ 09:49 AM:
I started a job two months ago and was so bored and utterly desperate that I resigned after three weeks. So then they kept me on as a freelancer as by that time I was entrenched in their work but paid me 25% more cash. Now they have told me to go but I AM NOT CRYING. I AM FREE

Bosh said on 09/18/05 @ 06:00 AM:
9 to 5 should be illegal. humans were not made for this kind of pain. the focus should be in the enjoyment of life. but no. it will never be this way. ok, so maybe we WERE born for pain

I got sacked from my job because i slept with my bosses wife

21121221 said on 09/19/05 @ 07:52 AM:
and also cause i nearly killed him with a spade

Gizmo said on 09/23/05 @ 12:24 AM:
I really hated my job (insurance claims in a call centre) - so much so that I convinced my doctor that I was depressed and got a sicknote for 8 weeks.
I've now started at University on a decent course for a decent job - best thing that's ever happened to me.

Michael said on 09/27/05 @ 06:24 PM:
I was fired for reading the book "Fire Me Please"!!! I work in fast food and I was on break. So, I'm reading my book and my ass-clown, loser shift manager asks to see the book I'm reading. So, I show him and he says to put the book away cause it's inappropriate for work.I told him nicely NO. He then says I'm out of line and calls the store manager. He comes back and says the book goes into my bag or I'm fired. I finished eating my fries and just walked out. The job sucked anyway. But who is this numb nuts to tell me what to read!!!!!

Nicole said on 10/13/05 @ 04:01 AM:
I hate work.....so boring, nothing to do, yet its cheap fairs.....work takes up so much time of our life....our lifes are mapped out by WORK.....you dont even get your birthday off. Work just makes less time for love ones and enjoyment of life! Lifes to short to die and still to have worked till your 65!

Ziggy said on 10/17/05 @ 11:16 AM:
I dont know...Maybe I am just lazy, but I HATE going to work. The money is good, the hours are decent. I mean all in all, for my situation, and being 17, its an alright gig. But for some reason, I just absolutely hate going into work. Once I'm there, I am ok. But the first hour before I go is just awful. My co-workers are white trash (except for a few), and are all so tacky and try to be in charge. It really pisses me off when some piss ignorant co-workers trys to boss me around. I have no problem with proper authority, but she has just as much power as me!

Maybe I can win the lottery some day and not have to work. I hate it. Even mowing the lawn sucks.

JonnyN said on 11/03/05 @ 01:10 PM:
I love my job, but work still sucks the big one. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week I am sitting in my cubicle dreaming of the outside world. Its not the work that gets me, its the day after day after day of it thats truly depressing. The most depressing part about it is that you have no choice...eithier I lock myself in my cubicle 40 hrs a week or starve and die...hmm, some days option 2 sounds pretty damn tempting.

dan said on 11/17/05 @ 12:21 PM:
I want to just quit my cubicle job and live on a farm. That way I don't have to revolve my world around making money. I can't believe that almost everyone in America, all they care about is money. Doesn't anyone care about living their life and enjoying it? Money's not important it only seems like it's important.

SuperLeedslad said on 12/15/05 @ 02:51 AM:
Why is work so boring? all i do is look at fir birds all day.....

gingerguy said on 12/18/05 @ 12:10 AM:
Work sucks! I am 28, a teacher and thinks that all the people i work directly with are weak willed losers who follow the leader and only like who he says it is cool to like! So we gave up living in caves and moved into civilisation, but then we had our freedom taken away by some bastard in a suit telling us what we can or can't do! At what point does work go against our basic human rights?

tiredgirl said on 01/01/06 @ 10:48 AM:
In my opinion work itself doesn't suck, it's having to do something you hate in a manner in which you hate even more. For example what if everyone could do what they loved and make ends meet I think it would be cool. But we are forced to clock in clock out, work 40 + hours a week, get permission to go to lunch...etc. I agree with gingerguy, years ago tribal people were called savage, because they didn't have industrialzed societies, but look who has life a savage exsistence now, I guess the jokes on us, cause I don't know maybe it's me but those so called savages seem to enjoy their lives more than us.

mop said on 02/22/06 @ 05:38 PM:
Im 24, unemployed, and still living with parents because I cannot cope with the adult world. Theres so much to think about, and none of it is positive. It also makes it difficult when I know damn well that nothing good is ever gonna happen no matter how hard I work, so why bother? Im thinking about getting on the government dole using some tips I learned from disabilitysecrets.com

Uzumaki said on 03/09/06 @ 01:59 PM:
I feel the same way. Humans are only smart enough to make their lives harder.

Ads said on 03/18/06 @ 06:59 PM:
Well, I just hate living a lie...pretending to be some professional wanker with a drive for success within the company. What drive? I'd rather be anywhere else. And quite frankly, the company can kiss my fat deskjockey ass. Bosses who think they have control over your life, colleagues who try to outdo each other, a bunch of people who eat at the office (instead of using the lunch opportunity to get some sun on their pasty skin); and everyone's bald at 32! I think I'll look into trading share options instead.

mustangmonee said on 03/29/06 @ 12:07 PM:
I hate working. Human beings were not meant to spend 8 hours in an office with other human beings that they despise and thus be forced to neglect the human beings they actually enjoy being around such as your husband/wife and children. I refuse to accept this is the way it is supposed to be.

monosolabicboy said on 04/08/06 @ 01:28 PM:
I've been working for two days, I have hated every job I've ever had and I want to quit this one already. I don't understand why everyone in this world has to do other people favours for nothing in return...Or atleast just a shit wage that dosen't even pay for the expense of living in this world. Fuckin depressing....

matt said on 04/12/06 @ 11:48 AM:
work is fucking gay, who wants to get up early and sit and make shit loads of cash for some overweight director.

dickface said on 04/14/06 @ 12:11 PM:
wow lol, this site is amazing. I go to work fucking hating the journey, feeling absolutley depressed, then when I get there, it's not bad, just the co-workers that piss me around. But i had no idea other people seem to feel exactly the same way. I only do like 2 shifts of 4 hours a week.......that's nothing....yet I can't fucking stand it, as soon as I get there life just seems to loose all colour (poetic :P ) but yeah work sucks dick, no other way. al

cleansweep said on 04/15/06 @ 08:07 AM:
i hate work. god its just soooo boring and mi boss is just grrrrrr. i only go for 3 hours twice a week, but anymore and i wud go totally crazy. its a crazy place to work. everyone is obsessed with minutae. who cares!!! it makes me feel ill that i have to go, thank god i can quit soon.

silentwalkah said on 04/24/06 @ 05:03 AM:
im happy i bumped into this site...wow i hate work so damn much i work at a dollar store 2 shifts a week 10 hours total a week and it sucks the workers are fine and my boss is a sly snake liar...but i guess he's allright.
I really dont know whats wrong with me its like everyone works for 8 hours 5x a week and i can only put in 5 hours x2weeks
i wish i can just enjoy life without
money or just win a bunch of money so i can work for fun.....anyways work sucks

dave said on 05/02/06 @ 11:26 AM:
I too hate work, I am a college student with sort of a part time job, I dread the day I graduate and have to do the daily grind, so I am taking my time in school although it is almost the same. Here is an essay I found interesting, and Im sure anyone who read this far will too. Its about the abolition of work. I need to go buy a lottery ticket.

workblowz said on 05/21/06 @ 03:53 AM:
24..no job..with parents..don't even see myself working again. my last job put me into this shell that i'm in today. i know i will have to come out soon..but not today..not today. i just can't stand thinking about workin m-f while i could be doing better things with my time. like really..working is bull****! we all know it, yet we do nothing about it. we are slaves of the money masters. we lose. ::sings freedom song::

mustangmonee said on 05/23/06 @ 12:33 PM:
This is not the way life is supposed to be. I want to be free of the burden of a job. I would not even mind working part time, but eight hours a day, five days a week is just insane. Our lives were meant to be lived not wasted away. I can't even get a puppy because I don't have time to take care of him and I can't leave him by himself all day. Works Sucks. Life sucks. and Then you die.

working2jobs said on 05/26/06 @ 02:16 PM:
I HATE WORK! I work two jobs and I hate them both. The sad thing is I enjoy the people I work with, but I hate the work so much! If I have to do this for the rest of my life I want to die. I feel as though I'm in a black hole. I live in a place where the median house price is 600,000, but on my salary I will never be able to afford a place of my own. I work two jobs and my fiance works, but he only makes $8/hr. It's sucks!!!!!

h8work said on 05/26/06 @ 02:42 PM:
i jus got a summer job as the whipping boy at a grocery store and i already fucking hate it.. i have to work 6am tomm on a saturday.. i dont know how long i can take of this shit.. theres a good chance ill just throw in the towel before tomm morning. ive hated every fucking job ive ever had, and im spending most of today just dreading tomorrow. i dont know how long ill be able to keep this shit job.

lmc said on 05/31/06 @ 08:59 AM:
you guys all are a bunch of cry babies i have worked 12 on 12 off 7 days a week for a year straight in 130 degree heat of Iraq what is all this complaining about when work has you down just think there is always someone who has it worse

Karli said on 06/05/06 @ 04:38 PM:
Friends, this is life. Money...yeah. Is this life??? When did it all become so miserable? Huh??!?! Why?!?!? WHY?!?!?! Oh god nooooo, not again!! I don't want to wake up at 4:30 tomorrow morning to see my bitch boss's fat face. O woe is me. But hey...it could be worse. IT COULD BE BETTER!

Joe said on 06/20/06 @ 11:47 PM:
Wages in America are good compared to other countries but the problem is that everything here is so expensive as well. Housing prices are so high. I can't imagine why it would cost over $300,000 for some homes.

It's really a shame that people have to place work as priority in their lives instead of life itself.

College is mostly a scam because most of the degrees are useless and will get you nowhere.

piles said on 06/21/06 @ 09:58 PM:
I hate all living things. I’ve picked up shovels and press computer buttons, and its all a pile of **** when it comes to meeting / clashing with managers/boss/workers.

big fat c*nts ppl =]

Ah, cheers i guess -_-

Kev_Rooney said on 06/23/06 @ 07:54 AM:
I absolutely love my job. I work every hour under the sun and most of all i love to make coffee for all my colleagues - they are fantastic.

killmeplz said on 07/29/06 @ 09:49 PM:
god I hate work. If you guys think your jobs suck try being a phone surveyer. At least I'm going to university in sept so I can quit this crappy job. They make me work 8 hours every SUNDAY!!!!! argh!

josak said on 08/02/06 @ 02:44 PM:
Ahh, thank god.. its actually uplifting to see people who feel the same way I do. I swear, we live in such a artificial culture obsessed with all the negative aspects of life. I do believe there's lots of good things to experience in life as well, but its hidden underneath all the bullshit.

josak said on 08/02/06 @ 03:18 PM:
And I have to mention, I cant stand the phrase " life sucks" because life doesnt suck at all . I beleive life is a great gift, but we ruin it so easily because.. well, we're dumbasses I suppose.

Patrick said on 08/08/06 @ 09:56 AM:
I also hate work, but it's not that I hate labour in general. The problem for me is that I hate the repetition, the fact that life is slowly slipping through your fingers, and that I am wasting it by being at the office 5 days a week.

I would love to be free and produce my own food and clothing and living with people who live the same way. That you can decide for yourself at what time you wake up or that you aren't going to work hard today but relax in the sun. Now I have to do what I am told all day. One positive thing is that now I see how fucked up it is, I just laugh about it and look for a way to turns things around.

Jennifer said on 08/10/06 @ 10:19 AM:
I love the work I do, couldn't be happier with what I ended up with right out of college. But damn, the people here make it so miserable! All they do is worry about when they are going to get another day off, who can they make do THEIR work, and I just get so freakin pissed becuasewe don't do alot of work most of the time! They never prepare for anything, which always make anything we do ten times harder when we finally do it. They are morons! Is it common to feel like you are normal and everyone else is stupid and lazy?!

uberslacker said on 08/12/06 @ 06:01 AM:
Believe me, I hate work more than most. I hate it so much I created a whole fricken website http://www.cubeslacker.com because of it. However, what I have learned is that its not bad if oyu are doing something that either keeps you busy or that you like to do. Preferable both :)

Nameless One said on 08/21/06 @ 04:22 PM:
i'm a 17 year old and have been working at my stupid job, until now, i quit, i hate it so much. People tell me that if i get a good education I will be able to do what i really like.. i dont know... i hated these two jobs i've had...

sam said on 08/21/06 @ 04:25 PM:
I hate work so much, i dont even work that much but i hate the damn work! i hate it so much, i don't wanna do it for another second... all the costumers yell at me, they look down, the manager is one big a$$whole, the shift manager is bad as well, the workers suck, the job sucksss i hate iittt

piles said on 09/01/06 @ 11:18 AM:
Lets see, after 2+ months, I still hate the job, & don't get me started on the co-worker pricks, miserable a-holes from day No. fucking 1.

enjoy the work ppl :evil:

officerat said on 09/14/06 @ 11:22 AM:
everyone should own their own small organic farm, live off the land and be happy :)

Zain said on 09/15/06 @ 12:41 PM:
I wouldn't mind working so much if I didn't have to get up so damn early my last job I had to get up at 5am to get there on time. Of course I didn't last I just can't take getting up that early. I rarely go to bed before 1am. I just can't do this 5am crap just because I'm a late riser does not mean I'm lazy!!! I'd rather work afternoons or nights then days I just can't get up that early!!

Bored & desperate said on 09/19/06 @ 06:55 AM:
I'm a sociology graduate who couldn't find work (typically) and decided to do a masters in Computing, as I thought a career in IT would be better than no career at all. Well it's better than being unemployed, but after that I fail to see the benefit. I've been a programmer for four years now and I'm sick and fed up of it.
IT people (mostly men and a few ugly women) are the most boring, introverted bunch of twats going. People like this LOVE the fact that they're stuck inside an office all day, gawping at a PC monitor. At any time I can look around the office and all i can see is rows of these muppets hunched over their screens.

pointless said on 09/25/06 @ 04:36 PM:
we get less vacation time than any other industrialized nation. day in, day out, most of us just count the minutes until it's time to leave. if it weren't every day of the year, it would be more tolerable. but pretty much every time you open your eyes, you're in the same place doing the same stuff.

ihatework said on 09/30/06 @ 10:12 AM:
ok i hate work so much i dont understand why i have to be here 6 days a week all day i do nothing most of the time. Cant i just have a day off

gazZa said on 10/02/06 @ 08:51 AM:
Hey guys, instaed of moaning about how much u hate your jobs and how u all run the place pritty much single handedly, why not Get off your arse and learn flash or java or c++ while in work. thus entertaining yourself and at the end of it u can make fun games where u shoot ur boss (and make it real 2 your office) and post them so that you and the millions of other bored people can entertain themselves 2 win win win situation :D

tiard as sin said on 10/15/06 @ 06:16 PM:
I wish to God i could find a job that lasted more than 8 months. I can do any job as long as i am getting paid. I'm 50 now, and i found the BEST dam job ever!
i am a janitor.. NOW DONT look down on me right now, how many of you can be your own boss. work at your own speed, hide when you want to..clean when you feel like it, and walk around several hours with a broom or spray bottle and rag in your hands and do NOTHING..then go sleep for 1/2 hour. Listen to your music in your Janitors room...i have a fridge a coffee machine and i stock food for lunch in my office..NO ONE bugs me. I love my job..but yes, at times it does get boring. The perfect job..im 50 now..and got 15 years to go....makes you pis sed dont it lol. hahahaha

piles said on 10/27/06 @ 01:31 AM:
Only me, piles, again. Well, a new job is on the horizon, "yippee" :P

My previous position was a miserable and sad excuse for a job, with 100% c*ckheads running the show. Benefits were a better option.

Things look promising...:)

Seriously speaking, after some "invigoration" classes, I am feeling much better. I'll post another msg next mth , hopefully this is the 'new' lucky break in my life.

If you’re out of work, try some NON-government courses or volunteering, keep the mind @ work is my point.

kelly said on 10/29/06 @ 09:39 PM:
i hate work. i don't mean i am lazy but i dislike the working surroundings. i have to spend most of my time at the office with the people i dislike. i can't enjoy life with my husband and my child who i really loving. why a job deprived us of so much happiness in the life. if someday i am rich, i will quit my job and do anything that can add sweetness to human life. but now since i have to make end meet, it's just a dream to enjoy life with my beloved ones.

mikey said on 11/02/06 @ 06:16 AM:
I like my job.... kinda. I have a good education, so I don't get shit on too bad. I fucked up my "time spreadsheet" so I'll get shit on later. Damn. I hate working. No way can I do this for 41 more years, I'll die, I need to get out. Maybe I'll get hit by a car, nearly die, and live as a mangled millionaire for the rest of my days. Probably better than working for 41 more years..

clay said on 11/29/06 @ 10:03 AM:
Its all bullshit!
I've been a lifeguard,caregiver,tradesman,warehouse boy,retail sales,recreation leader. can't get past 3 months at one job and they all shit me to tears.Why can't something be fun for me???

Possum said on 12/01/06 @ 12:42 PM:
you guys are pathetic. work does suck but you do it, you live with it, and your press on. you sit around and think about it your bound to get depressed. why? just accept that you have to work, be happy you have a job, and quit your bitching...

jamzee500 said on 12/05/06 @ 06:51 AM:
14:46 in the uk and im sat at my desk typing this message hoping that maybe by the end of it a few more minuites will pass, humans are the only animal on the planet who have to sell their souls to survive it is the single most depressing thing, i worked out that i spend approximately 75% of my awake life sat at this desk!!!!

thinking about saving hardcore for six months taking a year out and then repeating at least that way i will only have to sell six months of my life out of every 18.

i hate work.
if it were a person, i would murder it.
true story.

hate work so much said on 12/19/06 @ 08:57 PM:
i worked a shitty labor job because i couldn't find a better one (i hold a degree). i had to quit after i injured myself. i'm working at a cash register until such time as i recover from my injuries (i hope i do recover completely) and can get something better. i make just enough to survive, and am getting numb.

i feel like i am half dead now, but at least i can't feel the pain of this life as acutely now. life without working for long periods of time is AWESOME! camping, fishing, revelry, etc. life with work is slightly better than death. even when i'm not at work, my mind feels imprisoned.

writing more here won't change my situation, so why bother?

Jemma said on 01/09/07 @ 10:22 AM:
I am another work hater. I HATE IT so much. I don't understand why, as human beings, we are being charged for our food, warmth, water and shelter - these things should be our birthright. Working all these long hours tires out the body, puts you (and consequently everybody else) in a negative mood, and burns you out - how the hell can this be beneficial to anybody? Shouldn't we be allowed more time to spend with our children, pets and loved ones? Isn't this what life is all about? I am not a mother but I strongly sympathise with anyone who has children yet never gets to spend quality bonding time with them because they need to put (genetically modified) food on the table. I think the whole idea of working full-time is abonimable. Sorry if I offended anyone but I think it is time the world woke up a bit.

Nameless One said on 01/09/07 @ 10:24 AM:
Mabye part time hours wouldn't be so bad but all day five days a week is ludicrous - and only 2 days off. They should think about changing the system to 4 on and 3 off - perhaps the world would be happier.

U should not have 2 work if u do not want 2 work. If there is something u want, working for it can be good as u get that achievement satisfaction but I agree our lives r all being taken over. Something needs 2 be done but it wont.

I hate it - work, that is. Am I lazy? Maybe. I just want to control my own destiny.
Work sucks, it really does. The amount of incompetent people I've encountered doing high profile jobs is unbelievable and it is these people that ultimately control our career paths.
In days gone by, going to uni/college would have ranked you highly in society. Now, everyone has a degree. They are all but worthless.
My mind is absent of thought on this. I'm so absolutely fed up it is not true. I'm lost.
I want to wake up naturally - not by alarm clock. I want to enjoy what I do. I want to live. I do not want to have to worry about money. Urgh...

I have a degree, can't get shit for a job with it because it means nothing now. The unemployment here is over 5% so i'm forced to take a shitty job buffing floors with a computer degree, and deliver newspapers at night (which I like a lot better than buffing floors, has even payed me more on some occasions, and nobody bugs you). Yes, I am one of those people that can't stand going to work because it wastes so much of your life and tires you outs so much, that you sleep too much for another part of your life leaving about 5 hours a day to get things done and see your family.

I get no respect from these employers, and they act like i'm not good enough to do their low paying shit jobs when i'm 10 times smarter than they are.

I just might go into business for myself, even if it's long hours, at least i'm not working for some rube.

I Hate my job, been working there 6 months. Its in Finance, Its CRAP, and Boring and the people are all Idiots. If you complain to one of the idiot’s that work there they just reply with “that’s the way it is, you just have to put up with it and that’s it” what a crock of sh”t, I don’t HAVE to put up with the crap there, with that B*tch of a manager finding everything to pick on me with, just because those idiots think they have to put up with it and that’s life, well it may be theirs and they can have it, but you only live once and I don’t plan on it being like this!

Everyday I would hope that the bus would crash just so I wouldn’t have to go in, I would rather die than work in that hole.

So I finally did it, Last week as the stupid b*tch was giving out to me about something I didn’t even do I handed her my resignation, the look on her face was priceless.

So I handed in my notice and I leave on the 31st of January, and I can’t wait. They are going mad now because I am not doing my work properly and not meeting their stupid targets, hehehe, its payback for all the sh*t they have given me over 6 months, I’ve now had a sickie yesterday and I’m about to call in sick again in 20 minuets.

I will be now going to University in February

I can’t wait for my exit interview
I hope they all rot in hell!

I agree with all negative sentiments here. Work as it exists today is a complete joke.

Give me the life of a mountain man anyday. I can only see benefits in everyone ditching suits & technology to live freely off of the land once more. Other than bills/food, my money(the little left of it) rotts in my bank account, as I just have no other use for it. What an incentive!.. slave your guts out, piss your life away for something you don't even want!

The Man loves to make it look like we are the ones with the problem/poor attitude. You're right, I'm such a pathetic human for simply wanting MY life back.

"Give me the life of a mountain man anyday. I can only see benefits in everyone ditching suits & technology to live freely off of the land once more."

I hear ya man. I'd rather be a hermit living in the woods than deal with this crap day in and day out.

"The Man loves to make it look like we are the ones with the problem/poor attitude. You're right, I'm such a pathetic human for simply wanting MY life back."

That is especially true. Like, we should all be happy making sh!t for money with a positive attitude while making the owners the big bucks. Ok, I have a bad attitude because I don't like making my $7.00 hour at a piss ass job while the guy at the top makes six figures. What they really want for an employee is a blissfully ignorant, happy slave, not a person with a positive attitude.

I just started another job lugging big 170lb filter tanks of water down into peoples basement for a whopping $8.00/hr all in a nice 2 feet of snow. Oh, "don't make any mess in peoples house", Oh yes sir, I will lick the snow off of our boots before we go in. Guess how long that job lasted, a whole full day, which is only because I was stuck with the guy. Oh but, wait, I could've probably worked my way up in 20 years like the guy I was with...that's something to aspire to. No offense to anyone that does and likes that kind of thing, if it works for you then that's great. Me, I like to risk a herniated disk for a little more that 8/hr.

All the people on this board need to ban together to start our own cult against working. But we must absolutely not look poor and unkempt, lol.

Mark said on 01/25/07 @ 08:36 PM:
I can't believe there is a blog on this! I hate work too. I was just doing some keyword reasearching for google ads for my online business. I am unemployed because I got fired after 3 three years. Had a great service record with the company. Then they found out that I had a minor criminal record from 16 years ago. HR fired me over the phone. I had to call my boss and tell him I was fired. How stupid is that!? So I started my own business online, doing network marketing. This is the first time I am happy! People are joining the business, and I am training them. Working from home is much better. Because I am unemployed, or self employed now, I got in with a network marketing biz that is only $10 per month. Pretty cheap, learned lots, never looked back!

Josh said on 02/23/07 @ 10:25 PM:
We live under the illusion that we are "free," but it is quite obvious at least to me that there is nothing free about our society. We have effectively enslaved ourselves. Think about it, do you want to go to work? Hell no. You have to. Technically, yes, you can quit. You are "free to quit. What happens if you quit though... you run out of money, then you can't take part in anything at all. You can't get food, shelter, or anything that will sustain your life at all. You can't even hunt for food because that would require you to BUY a hunting license. You literally have no choice but to work for other humans, as (at least in my eyes) literal slaves.

I used to totally be up for consistant work, but after a while the wool pulled over my eyes vanished.
I hate my job, I hate that I have to get up every morning to go to work, I hate that I dont get recognized in anyway the things I do for my employer. I hate that I never received the promotion given to some other bitch that sucks the managers ass and takes credit for all my my hard work and effort. Sometimes I feel that the only way to get anywhere in life is by sucking the managers ass ( metaphorically speaking) you can work hard all you want and display all the skills of a good worker and leader all you want, but what it all comes down to is the ability play fair and unfair. even all my co workers agree with me. and thats what really gets me is knowing people know it and still not getting treated right.

Freedom Hunter said on 03/02/07 @ 05:26 AM:
I am at work now, sitting in the dreaded cubicle. Every job i've had has sucked. I am a college grad, what a waste of a piece of paper that was. I'm in the U.S., not sure where everyone else is. Working in the US sucks big time. Corporate America has taken over. We are like slaves. I am planning the great escape. Check out this other site too:

Darin said on 03/14/07 @ 01:17 AM:
I was medically discharged from the Army after 12 years for PTSD and depression. I had 30 days vacation a year and lots of 3 and 4 day weekends. It was great! The civilian workplace completely sucks. Your lucky if you you get 5 days vacation a year if you have to accept work through a temp agency that takes 25% of your pay and offers zero benefits. I don't want to work anymore. I have an Associates degree which is crap but better than nothing...109 credit hours total with a 3.95 GPA and I hate college...I'm still at least 2 years away from a Bachelors...and the school I'm at now won't transfer some of my classes. The cost for the classes I have aready taken at another school will cost an additional $4500...bullshit! How many times do I have to take the same freakin' classes! I think I'll just have someone break my arms to the point where I will never be able to walk again and start collecting social security disability. Before the Iraq war, my disabilty rating from the Army would've qualified me for disability retirement pay. But since the war is expensive, the Army has decided to screw thousands of soldiers by deliberately downgrading disability ratings. I may have been able to receive more, but 1 year at Walter Reed Army Medical Center was more than enough, so I took the severance pay to finally be able to come home. I'm still waiting on a disability rating from the VA; it's been almost a year, and it might take another year for them to screw me too, and then I can spend another year or two appealing their decision. Yeah baby!!! It's not like I have anything better to do with my life, right? Oh well, I guess I'll just have to get over it and go get a job that will barely be able to pay my living expenses since I'm stuffing a private college president's pockets full of cash. Then I'll have another degree that I can wipe my ass with. I can't wait...................................................

I have a degree, can't find a decent job. What's funny is this girl I know has no degree, went to high school for hair dressing, and she gets a job in management for like $20 an hour where I can't even get a job moving computers around for $8.00 (I have a comp degree), which is the grunt work. On top of that , she's a total airhead. I know another guy, dropped out of highschool, and he's starting at $10.00. It don't matter if you drop out of school, because everyone just puts that they finished high school on the application and none of the employers actually check. I mean WTF is wrong with this world?! Maybe I need to start telling lies on resumes.

Parichay said on 03/29/07 @ 06:25 PM:
When we were younger, we all thought that there were endless possibilities...that we could do whatever we wanted. And then we all got screwed. And now that we all work...we think of all the impossibilities (if thats even a word!) all around us.

If only we had it in us to take the risk of leaving the cubicle and doing something of our own...then we would have the satisfaction that well, we tried...so it didn't work out and so we're here...

ihatelife said on 04/01/07 @ 02:34 PM:
Yes exactly Parichay, i feel the same life is short never know when it will end and i hate to look one day back and regret not doing somthing else but i work in company that keeps u nearly satisfied and i dont want to fight life.

Every one around me is good, i cant ask for angels but still ihate them because i hate my work, i have a degree and work somthing a shcool boy can do and i have no experiance so it is hard to leave, its a trap and what makes me hate it more is that my work is accumulated and will never finish and am always considered late thus i care about more about my work than most of them , but because i hate my job iam not doing it wright thus it is silly.

i always get i emotional when i see i film where some guy changes his life or get over his problems, i have none but i am not doing anything, and time is ticking fast .

I want to delete this cause i feel bad after writing it .........

Good luck guys in u life

At age 42, I want to warn all the young'ns out there, find what makes your heart sing NOW and then pursue it. If you try to change careers midlife, you will definitely experience age discrimination on top of shitty pay. Also, maybe two part-time jobs that you can somewhat tolerate are better than one job that robs your soul. I do it now and it makes life more bearable. Also, for the non early risers (like me) try 3rd shift, it is a quiet time in the world when all the assholes are asleep (well most of them). HANG IN THERE

THANKS RBI GIRL said on 04/08/07 @ 03:14 PM:
Thanks for the advice.

Rick said on 04/09/07 @ 12:46 PM:
RBI, that's funny cause I also work 2 part time jobs, one 3rd, and another one during the day that is not too many hours. I probably make more money doing that than one full time job, and work slightly less then 40 hours a week. I agree with you that it's a lot better because i'm not stuck in one hell hole for too long of a time. They're not super great jobs, but I don't absolutely hate them like most people hate their jobs.

RBI GIRL said on 04/09/07 @ 02:50 PM:
Hey Rick, the only thing about the part-time jobs is lack of benefits. But then again, that's the state of our country..taking care if their own, ha? Do either of your jobs give you the medical? Just wondering. Thanks for writing.

Gentlemen and Ladies,
I understand where you are all coming from and it is nice to know that there are other employees out there that feel the same way I do. I am quitting my job at the end of May to take a PE teaching position in August. 2 months off from work to do anything that I want....hmmm...Cookie Crisp and Saved By The Bell in the morning. A chance to have nothing on my plate. If you despise work, but love children, teaching is a great profession. Contracted for only 180 days a school year. That is less than half the days of the year that I have to wake up and go to work. That is bearable.

Jay said on 04/18/07 @ 08:14 AM:
Working sux. I hate mornings so much, I'd rather die than get up at 6am. I work 45-50 hours a week, hardly ever get to actually take a lunch break since if someone can't get e-mail in outlook, instead of closing it and trying again, (which 98% of the time works) they have me do it for them, fucking morons. Then, I get asked to work with array formulas in Excel, WTF?? They assume, since I'm the IT guy, I have to know how to do this crap. Kiss my ass!! I get so bored, I wish I had some money to build a rally car and race it for a living, now THAT'S a job!!

Tim said on 04/19/07 @ 03:37 AM:
Don't you wish you won $50 million in lottery? You could stay home, go out do what ever you want when ever you want without having to worry about god damn work! One morning you could just get up and leave your huge house by the sea and take a holiday around the world. That will be the life.

But back to reality, I'm 18 years old, working as an apprentice mechanic and HATE IT! I like cars but working on cars the rest of my life THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL! I don't know what I want to do with my life, I can't see me getting far because I just don't want to work.

Rick said on 04/19/07 @ 04:29 AM:
RBI, no. Have been without medical for 10 years. : ) I keep myself in good shape and just hope I dont have any serious accidents.

Rick said on 04/19/07 @ 04:35 AM:
Tim, I hear that. I like working on cars, basically my own cars that I can fix up the way I want, when I want, and considered going to school for it. But then I thought of the reality of working on other peoples junk cars for 40+ hours a week, constantly being dirty, and there went that idea. I figured that would be turning a hobby I like to do into something i'd hate.

Derek said on 04/25/07 @ 04:54 AM:
gman, If you can afford to quit and keep looking, then do it. Especially if you're not being paid well. Take it from someone who has had many 1 day jobs. I'll be not even half way though the first day and i'll already be thinking of how I won't be there the next day. Even as they're still telling me what to do and how to do it. But hey, if someone actually tried to pay me a decent wage, I might just try to suffer through and get used to the job. Hasn't happened so far...Minimum wage 7.00/hr now! Wow, that's something to be excited about. Now we can all live in semi-poverty instead of full out poverty.

g-man said on 04/25/07 @ 02:30 PM:
it not just about this job it's about work in general, why should we slave away when we only get one crack at life. i don't know about the rest of you but i want to live life to it's fullest enjoy every moment, wake up in the morning and think i'll do that today. instead what do we have to look forward to, slaving away so some lucky bastard can wake up and do the same thing we can only dream of.

RBI GIRL said on 04/26/07 @ 05:35 AM:
Hey all, I hate to break the news but take it from the mother hen of this site, you have two choices as you start your career. If you can gain a portable skill early in your life (i.e. computer guru, nurse, lawyer etc), then you can take this anywhere in the world and some day the pay will follow. I have to be honest and say that if you all think you are going to start a job out of high school making 50K a year, you better have the Trump name behind you!! If you stick out the low end you might just become a manager or higher level some day. Nothing comes overnight! So, stay in school and get a real skill that the world will always need and cannot ship the job out of our country OR grin and bear it for a while and maybe your dedication will payoff. Of course your 3rd choice is to try and sponge off someone till they give you the boot but there is usually no pride in the latter.

Don said on 04/30/07 @ 05:27 AM:
RBI, actually, you forgot going into business for yourself, which i've done, and I will never work for anyone else again! Of course, it's not easy and takes work to make that happen, like everything, but you will have no one to answer to but yourself. Well, yoursalef and your customers if you want to make it work for ya. I make a better income than the average person and I didn't even go to college, and I dropped out of high school. I eventually got my GED though, but whether I got that or not, I don't think it would've mattered. So you don't all have to think inside of that tiny box...go to school, go to college, go work for someone and hope to make a decent living for 40 years and save till retirement. But don't think making money for yourself is a piece of cake, because it took me about five years before I started pulling in decent money. Not that all business will take that long, just depends on what you do. Also, must be patient and persistent.

Bugger me, this sucks. All I do is wish my life away because I’m sick of going to work. I'm only 23 and already I want to be retired.

I hate work. I've tried going part time (30 hours). It was better, but I still hated it. Now I can't even imagine ever working 40 hour weeks again. I tried switching positions. I did and it was fun for a while but then I hated the new position even more. It so boring and pointless and sometimes it makes life itself so bleak that it hardly seems worth it. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Lex365 said on 05/16/07 @ 01:28 PM:
Wow! I neva knew so many people felt as i do. Theres more to it than just hating work, i hate been told when to get up, when to get there, when i can eat, what to wear, been told what to do by anyone, and for what? Money that i blow on crap. Its not a case of been lazy, im an inteligent guy, smart enuff to see that this is bullshit. Everyone at work, managers, supervisors and workers, would rather be elsewhere. I dont know anyone who really wants to be at work. Its shit, my advice to all is BREAK FREE! I love the idea of freedom, get up when i want, do what i want, rebel agaisnt this crap system and try to find a way of making enuff money to survive in mininmal time without work. Id rather be set free and have minimal money than work a stressful job i hate to earn excess money id spend on crap i dont need. Material possesions do nothing but make u feel like u really need them, and that your shitty job that takes up all your time is worth it. Well id happily neva have a flash care and designer clothes if it meant i was free!

Starali said on 05/21/07 @ 11:32 AM:
I called in again today. The second time in two weeks. I quit a job I hated with passion this time last year. I'm currently on assignment with a temp agency. I'm thinking "Hey, by the time I get to the point where I'm tired of looking at the same people, going to the same building, performing the same mindless task, my assignment will be over and I can move on else where." No such luck, I've been temping at the same spot for nine months now. I hate going into that building everyday. I sit there and stare at my computer screen all day, listening the vets (with the exception of one, all of the women have been in that department no less than ten years) complain about how they are ready to go home. If one more person ask me "Is it five O'clock yet?", at 8:45a.m., I can't be responsible for my actions! I'm left feeling insane because whenever I try to relay my feelings about how bullshit the whole work ethic SCAM is, people look at me like I've just committed grand blasphemy. I hate lying awake in a panic because it's 2:30am, being nocturnal by nature, I haven't slept a wink and I have to be up in 4 hours to go somewhere I don't want to be. I hate not having enough time/energy to do things after work. I'm not a "busy-bee" and the thought of being active from sun up to sundown does not appeal to me. My five hours after work, minus the hour and 1/2 it takes to get ready for the next days work, I prefer to save for relaxing. Please don't misunderstand, I have no problem "working" for what I need. It's jobs I hate.

work sucks said on 05/24/07 @ 06:11 AM:
my work sucking fluctuates. i work and IT and im highly qualified and talented. but rest of my colleagues are not as educated as iam and they are jeoluos of me. i can't show iam intelligent type if I do some thing nice they hate me.it sucks.

they are so sensitive and low minded.

Derek said on 05/24/07 @ 10:59 AM:
OMG I hate working! I work third shift and I never get any sleep. Dogs barking, lawn mowers, bright light, people keeping me awake all the time, makes me wanna go freaking insane! But the job itself isn't so bad and it pays more than all the other shit jobs around here.... so I can't really quit. I feel trapped, and every day I want to go more crazy as I get another 3-4 hours of crappy sleep. It's not even 3-4 hours of good sleep,.and my heart starts to feel so weak sometimes, I almost wish it would just give out at times so I can sleep eternally at peace and not ever have to work again! And there better not be a such thing as reincarnation or i'm gonna be really pissed! Unless I come back as a descendant of Bill Gates or someone else rich, and what are the odds of that?

Break Free said on 05/27/07 @ 03:32 PM:
i have been working at my work for about a month and i can not think of one good reason why i should stay. i am in the process of finding out what job i would enjoy and then just go and get it. from now on i will keep everything simple, becoz the more we think about things the more we fucking complicate it. So to all my fellow bored workers find what you want in life and go after it without thinking about it too much, remember you only life once.Good Luck in your journey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

someguy said on 05/28/07 @ 10:23 AM:
what I find interesting is that so many ppl want to not have to work, or work less hard, but it's the fact that people have that attitude that's the problem.
How do you think we all got stuck doing **it labour and crappy jobs in the first place? Cause someone else didn't want to work, wanted to sit and live off of others.
So they obtained the resources and everyone else has to beg for a part of the pie.
Possession is the problem. Until everyone is equal...it will never be fixed (thus it never will be).

someguy said on 05/28/07 @ 10:28 AM:
think about this:

if you didn't have to have your "own" of everything then there wouldn't be much of a problem.
most households have 90% of the same items in them, most of which are reuseable. ...so, if you shared everything with your neighbours as a community, you could probably eliminate at least 50% of your household costs.
it's the fact that ppl are so possessive, and self contained that is the problem

for example, two families who live side by side could buy all of their grocery needs in bulk and make meals together, buying larger quantities all at once is always cheaper and most families throw away some food
there's less chance of being waste in this situation + food == cheaper on the whole...
anyhow...it's how our societies have evolved that is screwing us over

The head of my dept told me how to do my job and he knows nothing of its nature. He just sits in the office all day on his fat lazy bum and leaves us all working on the floor to cope with the public all day. I hate him now! I want to leave but I need the money. I imagine myself turning round and saying to his face exactly where to stuff his orders!

Well I have worked in call centres for about 7 years now and I can quite honestly say that there is no worse job. Once your in that's it your never getting out. I have quit so many, but just ended up back in a carbon copy of the last as the only work in my area seem to be call centre work. I hate the fact that the wage doesn't even cover the price of living and I have money for about 2 weeks of the month and spend the rest counting the minutes till payday. I hate the fact that we're meant to give a shit about the companies goals and expansion, when you know full well that however much money they make you are never going to see any of it however hard you work. I hate the management who seem to be genetically created in a lab with companies procedures and regulations running through their veins instead of blood (never smile, have a laugh and just don't seem human). I hate the 5 day week, total shit that is never ending. What's the point in working til i'm 65? when I will be too old to do the things I want by then, I won't need the money then. I just hate everything about work unless you do something you are passionate about. I'm seriously considering quitting right now and doing some charity work and helping someone or something that generally needs it and appreciates it, rather than help feed these fat corporate fucks to make more money so they can steal our souls and drive round in a Supercar looking like a 60 year old twat.

fucking this site is gold,its great to see so many people pissed off as much as i.i hate work as much as anyone and has always being a interfering factor in my life.having woken up to the bullshit we have being fed quite early i have tried different scenarios to avoid it .Once bought a dirt cheap house in the country and lived on benifits for a year ,growing veges and drinking home brewed beer.Another time lived aoard a cheap sailboat on a warf for free for 3 years and worked part time as a courier.not scenarios for everyone but there are even cheaper options for the adventurist how about riding your pushbike across the country living in a 20 dollar tent using an alchohol stove to cook .In this scenario the freedom factor is high but the costs can be extremly low.know of guys and gals doing it on less than a fiver a day.Again not for everyone but plse guys have your bitch bye all means but think like your life depends on it to get out of this shit capitalist slave trap were in because you know deep down ...it does.

I hate work. It's a load of shit. It's fucking a waste of my life. Why do I do it? To pay the bills. Why are there bills? because I pay for peoples services or products. Why do they do it? To pay the bills!!! It's a never ending circle of shit. I guess the only way to truly escape it not to pay any bills which means living for free - self sufficiency!!! That sounds like a hard life though, and when sickness comes around how the fuck can I pay to get better? I hate work, it's full of shit. Work causes stress, disease, bad tempers, hierarchy's of bull shit managers. I thought becoming a manager might make it better? Guess what!!! It gets worse - the responsibility and pressure increases and my life gets sucked away. I FUCKING HAT E WORK!!!!!

I'm going to try to get into fashion design school next year. I need a job that has challanges that will have results to satisfy my work ethic. Work always sucks, it just sucks less if you can get satisfaction with what you complete.

I hate work. I think about killing myself all of the time. I'm stuck here and I couldn't make as much money at another company, and I have bills to pay.
Last Friday I shut down early to go home and OD on pills, but I couldn't do that to the man I love and had to home back to this abyss of misery.
Are we really meant to be this miserable every day? Are we meant to wish every day away? I wish I could figure out an alternative. At this point if I quit I'd just spend a year curled up in the fetal position and drooling.
I'm tired of gray offices... gray people... gray buildings.
I don't understand why I can't spend my time at home taking care of my honey, hanging out with my animals and tending my house.
You f**ing C**T women's libbers f**ked it up for all of us!!!!!!
Anyway, I hate this vile pit and I get more and more consumed by bitterness every day that I'm here.
I was going to say that if I stay here until I'm 65, I'll be a hollow gray husk with nothing left inside of me but cobwebs of sticky hate and bile... but as I see it I've got probably less than 5 years until that happens.
People tell me that I laugh more than anyone they know, and I do... but when I'm at work I just scowel and give these idiots the death look so they stay the f*$#() away from me. There is so much backstabbing in corporate America, so much stupid drama, so many people willing to sell their lives away... nobody gives a S*$#()@T about us!!!
There's a song/video by "The Faint" called Agenda Suicide that captures this beautifully. "The drones work hard before they die, and give us our pretty little homes"as i lay to die the things i think
did i waste my time, i think i did- i worked for life"
"our work makes pretty little homes
agenda suicide, the drones work hard before they die
and give up on pretty little homes "

swede27 said on 07/17/07 @ 04:55 AM:
I have posted here before, but just thought I would share my current thoughts. My manager decided to put me on a project about a month ago, which is no more money and no one else has to do this, so it is the same old story more work for no more pay. Well she was asking me how I was getting on with it today and when I replied "I have nearly finished" I was told "Hurry up" (that's appreciation for you). My blood was boiling after this and unfortuantely I could'nt think of a witty comeback at the time (which is quite usually the case)and it all came to me after. I also applied for an easier job in another department this week for which I attended an interview and did rather well, however I was told although my interview was very good and it was a hard decision (all the usual cliches) they have given the job to someone externally who has no idea of the systems or programmes we use. Which I later found out the reason I didn't get the job was because this hellhole department I am in is short staffed so they couldn't afford to move me out. I just hate work so much and have done for years, everything about it, I sit here and just think of the things I could be doing with my life like travelling round to different places, experiencing different cultures and cuisines and meeting interesting people. But then realise that none of these are possible unless you have money to fund this and that's why we have to come to these godforsaken jobs. The worse thing is with the money I earn I end up not doing anything I actually want to do as my energy and morale are so drained at the end of every day that I feel my soul has been stolen, I just have no motivation to do what I actually want to do so end up wasting the pittance I earn on going to the pub or buying pointless materialistic objects that's it. It's such a shit state of affairs and just feel that when you look back on your life and all the things you wish you had done, work will not count for shit and you will realise that your whole life has been dominated by doing something you hate. Sorry to bring everyone down but needed to express somehow.

mj1531 said on 07/27/07 @ 11:42 AM:
I may end up posting comments here multiple times because my utter hatred of work (not just this job, but all forms of employment) is a recurring pain.

I hate working for a living and I want out now. There needs to be some type of mass revolution in America where all employees, regardless of job and position, just get up and leave work and refuse to come back.

There would be no negotiations where we, the working populace, agree to come back to work on some slightly better conditions. We won't fall for that again. Each person comes back only when and if they want to.

We need to find a way to live where we no longer need money or some type of money substitute, just endless freedom for all.

"I hate working for a living and I want out now. There needs to be some type of mass revolution in America where all employees, regardless of job and position, just get up and leave work and refuse to come back."

Believe it or not there is a term for that. It's called a 'general strike'. I think Argentina has had a few. It's awesome, everyone just says FUCK OFF, were not going to work anymore until this this and these demands are met. It'll never happen in America though, where people have been duped into this whole 'work ethic' thing. Ha! What a scam!

2. Check out whywork.org. It's a great resource. Make sure to check out the forum.

All of these comments are proof that there is a hell of a lot of people out there who feel the same. Work sucks.

I work a seasonal type job where i'm located away from home for 6 weeks at a time and then get two weeks off. Living in a remote environment with idiots that i have to see all my waking hours is enough to drive me insane. My bosses are micromanagers and love to bounce from crisis to crisis because they're too busy focused in on useless details and don't realise that as managers they have to look out for the big picture and delegate lesser tasks.
Half the world is below average and in my workplace that lower half runs the operation.

wasted said on 08/03/07 @ 12:00 PM:
I hate that we spend the majority of our waking hours working. It should be the other way around. Also just doing the same exact thing day in day out in a little cubicle with nothing but old annoying ladies around you, while there is so much going on in the world. It seems like such a waste of life to do this job for what. Barely enough money to get by till the next paycheck. People shouldn't be forced to live like this. I wish we could go back to the days when you hunted for your food and just did chores around you home. There is never enough time to just relax and enjoy the things you have. I can't imagine my self doing the same thing over and over for the next 40-50 yrs before I retire. I would blow my brains out. There are so many other things I would rather be doing.

Man I have a MBA with a finance background. I started out a job making shit because I live in a town with very little opp. I make more than most people who work in this shitty ass town. The problem is all the assholes from the cities moved down here to get away from crime driving up property values and now I cannot afford to buy a house. Now all the costs of goods are going up. Thank God! I am moving. I am moving and going to Valet cars man that was the best job I ever had. I got regular exercise I was outside all day and I actually made more money than I do now. I had a very little responsibility. Working in an office atmosphere is the worst job I have ever had.

Sarah Hates Work Very Much said on 08/14/07 @ 02:28 AM:
I hate work. I just want to quit and start a family. I want to travel some and then pop out babies! I want to cook, clean and do laundry and go to the gym. I want to do volunteer work at the childrens hospital part time to maintain some sanity and interact with adults. I want to enjoy time with my husband and I don't want him to have to kill himself at work so I can stay at home.... It all comes back to money. I want to maintain my lifestyle and continue taking an overseas holiday every year, going shopping for clothes, getting my hair done, go out on the weekends to a bar and dinners etc. Taking out my parents and seeing them regularly.
Unless you were born into money like some undeserving people (namely Paris Hilton and the like) then you have to work. Problem is I have no passion for anything. I don't have any artistic talent and no job I can actually get gives me the satisfaction of either doing something beautiful or worthwhile. I am a stress case and feel the stress straightaway if my husband is under stress....I don't want to put pressure on him by being a stay at home mum. But I want that.
It's all so hard and gets harder, children need diapers, schooling. Then there is mortgage payments, bills and maintaining some sort of lifestyle. When you work on the other hand you have money but limited time to enjoy anything! So over this crap. I hate the rat race and I just want to break free and take my husband with me. ...

But still...let's be thankful for all we do have and really consider that it could be worse.... Yeah right!!!!

Undeniable said on 08/17/07 @ 12:40 PM:
Sigh, I graduated from law school several years ago; failed the bar exam twice and now I work as a paralegal making decent money and hating every second of my job and most of my life. One of my supervisors (and isn't that a problem in and of itself? why the fuck do you need more than one supervisor!) barely graduated from college and I have to answer to her. She actually forbade me from leaving a meeting that she had held where she regaled us with storied of her recent pregnancy for over an hour.

I try to make the best of it by skipping work as often as possible, but now that's become such a problem that my manager asked me if I have another job on the side. I should have told him, yes! I have another job on the side, It's called a fucking LIFE.

In addition to hating my job more than facism, I married a woman whom i'm not attracted to so that I could benefit from her hefty income. I pretend to not hate work all day and pretend that she's sexy all night. Occasionaly I think about killing myself, but weed, alcohol, video games, and porn keep me alive (that and the prayer that someday things will remotely resemble the life that society told me I'd have if I went to law school).

AMS said on 08/18/07 @ 04:25 AM:
Undeniable,Thank god that there is weed, ecstasy, alcohol and amphetamines...Otherwise I would have killed myself...Work is the most fucked up thing that could possibly exist . I go to work everyday, and when back home I am either high or drunk , so that I don't cry or take a fucking axe with me the next day and crush their fuckuing skulls...I also work for a ''prestigious" company in EU and I own a university degree in fucking transport engineereing, and hoped my life would be better...I fucking hate everything now than I ever did...I think I am going to fucking die long before my tine because either the work, or the drugs will get me...I swear to God I used to only drink ocasionally , and rarely take drugs , and be a optimistic person before I started this shit...Now, I smoke weed and get drunk almost everyday and isolating myself from everyone...Work has shit me up pretty bad....

Disgruntled said on 08/20/07 @ 03:32 AM:
I hate my job, but have to keep it as most of us do in order to survive comfortably. Unless I build a shack in the woods and hunt rabbits for food, until I get arrested because some asshole or government organization owns the land. You couldn't even find a place to live "free" in America because all the land everywhere is "owned" by someone.

I'm thinking about going back to school for the second time, but I don't know what for, and when I get out of school, it'll probably be to another job I can't stand. Feels like one big trap that you'll never escape unless you win the lottery or rob a bank and get away with it.

Yeah, things could be worse, but they could also be a lot better. What am I supposed to do, be glad i'm not a blind, deaf, mentally ill person with no arms and legs to make myself feel better about my job?

Anyone that uses the phrase "it could be worse" needs be dragged a 1000 feet across broken glass by a horse and then rubbed down with salt just so I could say, "it could be worse" to them.

Maybe i'll just sell a kidney on Ebay or claim to be Bill Gates long lost brother.

Oh, and how about the phrase "money isn't everything". Oh no it isn't tard, it's only 98% of everything, and what you need to freakin live.

I hate peoples BS optimism just because they aren't doing what I do. Save it and go to hell.

To Dreamer ---

I also went to school and got a degree in computers and ended up doing data entry for about 3 days b4 i quit that shit. I don't know how you can do that. Half way through just one day I wanted to blow my brains all over the monitor screen. I can NOT sit in a chair all day and look at a monitor without it feeling like my brain is slowly melting into goo and about to come out of my ears. And what's worse, is a guy I went to school with that was a complete dumbass and did horrible on every test got a job as an assistant network administrator there. Here his dumb ass (and he really was a dumb ass, i'm not just being mean) got the computer job there and i'm doing data entry! How embarassing for me it was for him to see me doing that shit.

But that's all because these dumb asses that do interviews don't know how to hire the right guy for the job and need to pull their heads out of their asses. I wouldn't want to work at that hellhole anyways no matter what job it was now!

My job sucks now, but I can always think, god, at least i'm not doing data entry. (no offense to you)

Why should i work for a company that basically sh!ts on the enviroment and sells overpriced inferior products wich use way too much pakaging and contribute to landfill waste (almost all of the jobs aroud here)?

My job is easy, but I fucking hate working full time. There should be more to life than wasting 40 hours doing shit that you couldn't care less about if you didn't get paid for it. Even if I found a job I actually enjoyed, I would still want to do it part-time so that I can live a balanced life.

Not only that, but unless you're lucky enough to get a telecommuting job (which I am not), you are sequestered from your home where you could be getting more shit done while working for some CEO who unlike me can afford maids & a personal chef. Every office I've worked at is run like a prison (no personal calls MY ASS, why do I have to save doing errands until after 5PM or before 7AM when everything is CLOSED?), breaks/lunches don't give me enough time to run errands, not to mention my job is just computer work and making phone calls that I can DO AT HOME while I'm doing laundry, cooking, basically preventing my home from looking like the HELL it is now. When I'm not at work I am either sleeping or GETTING READY FOR WORK, or doing all the un-fun shit that needs to be done because I won't be able to do it at work. AUGHHH. I don't even have the energy to cook myself a fresh meal except dinner. Yes, I use a crockpot but if I had to eat one crockpot dish 3x a day I would rather cut my tongue off.

It's also beyond insulting how I couldn't get some of the better jobs that I am qualified for just because I don't have a college degree. I had to quit college because of illness & now that I'm well I want to earn $$ so that I can finish my degree without burying myself in debt. So I end up working entry-level jobs I'm overqualified for & having to suck up to condescending people who can't spell & spend their spare time gossiping about celebrities.

What the fuck are all you losers complaining about? Get to fucking work and enjoy it because that's what the fuck we do in America. If you idiots can't hack it, find a fuckin' boat to China and sail your asses off you dolts. You think those people have it easier or for that matter the rest of the world? Shit, in some other countries you work all day just to find some a handful of food to live on so you can do it again the next day. So be fuckin' thankful you even have a job.

Joe said on 09/23/07 @ 02:42 PM:
I fucking hate my job too. I get in there every morning at half 8 and work my ass off. Doing jobs that none of my team want to do and just being the bitch in general. I work as a middle man in advertising and we have to do work for the people who we buy off and then forward that to the people we sell to. Its so shit. Everyday is a fucking deadline to meet and I just cant stand getting told what to do by another company just so they can please their clients. Its shit that when they want something done they just think they'll pass it over to me and ill do all their dirty work so they can look good.

I want to quit but cant quit unless I find another job. I hate going into work every morning. I miss the days of being a student where I just slept in every morning till 11am and just smoked weed. Now I have to get up at 7am every morning and work my fucking ass off all day for some shitty company selling stuff.

Grrr

Mary said on 10/01/07 @ 02:44 PM:
Hey "Shit-4-Brains",

In America we also have the right to hate our shit jobs and complain as much as we feel like it. Of course I know that some self rightous testicle toucher like you will probably want to give his unwanteed opinion and that's fine, but anything your hick ass wants to say isn't going to make a difference.
I have just as much of a right to be in this country as you do, so why don't YOU take that boat you wanted me to said to China to and shove it up your "I'm better than you because I don't bitch about my job" ASS!

P.S. Work doesn't suck any less!

I was laid off two months ago and LIfe is great. Work Sucks and I hated that crappy job. Life is wait to short to be miserable.

Kathy said on 10/05/07 @ 10:47 AM:
It's not work I hate, it's the SYSTEM of work. It is so unnatural. I worked for one company for over 20 years in a progressive series of jobs that really utilized my abilities, and I loved it. I never had a boring day. They downsized me for no other reason that my wages were getting "up there". The pure crap I went thru for 3 years trying to get a related job, was just total mental cruelty.
When I finally did find one, all my job history was down the shitter (conveniently). Nobody knows me, nobody knows my history (even tho it's on the resume) or what I can do, and they don't want to know. They treat me like I was born yesterday, very belittling.
I don't use a tenth of my knowledge. To force a human to be THIS bored is the ultimate mental cruelty.

Megatron said on 10/08/07 @ 09:20 PM:
Kathy---:

I know exactly what you mean. I've had experience in my "field" for about 6 years, then I eventually quit it because of certain "things" that went on there. The next job I got, they hired me for my experience, or so I thought, but then they treat me like I don't know shit, and are trying to tell me things I already know, and I know I can do it better than them. They treat me like I'm entry level to this, when I probably know more than they do. And even when you try to give them the hint that you've done all of this crap before and know what you're doing, it's like they don't even hear you. And the one manager would tell me how i'm doing the simplest little thing wrong, (when there isn't really a right or wrong way, but ones way of doing it over the other).

Basically what it comes down to, is that no matter how good at a job or how much exp you had at it, you have to proove yourself all over again. And once that happens, doin't quit, because they'll treat you the same way at the next job.

Ted said on 10/09/07 @ 02:29 PM:
I'm 31 and have been doing accounting for almost 10 years. I've basically hated every job I've had. Some start out ok, but then they keep piling more and more shit on you for the same pay. I hate it because of all the anal and analytical people I have to work with, but haven't changed careers because the pay has been decent. I also hate going to a job everyday, I feel trapped in my cubicle, can't come and go as I please, and have to ask my boss for time off. With that in mind, would it even be worth changing careers if showing up everyday is what I hate? People say to start my own business, but I don't know what to do.

The thought of having to work another 30 years depresses me. I don't know what to do with myself. I'd like to get married and have kids, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to cope plus work at a job I hate. Can a career counselor help?

nicky said on 10/11/07 @ 08:17 PM:
i quit working at 44 from a job i'd had nearly 20 years. a few reasons led to this: 1. i lost my office, a sanctuary for me; 2. i got a new boss, an idiot and a sexist; and, 3. my sister died at a young age........and that made me realise every day is too important to waste on giving the finger to the idiot behind his back every time he left my soon to be ex-office. that was ten years ago now and i have no regrets.

Fred said on 10/16/07 @ 09:49 AM:
All work eventually (and pretty f**kin quickly too) becomes boring and deeply depressing. Its the people at my place that drive me really mad. One is a complete retard but thinks he is somehow an IT Wizard. People spend hours sorting our his fukups, he gets in to trouble but still can't see what an idiot he is. The other member of staff is a bossy old bag who contradicts everyone but management, interrupts and tries to undermine anyone who tries to answer a question. Me I'm an educated guy with no time for these losers and keep myself to myself, but its a long lonely day

SuzyBrook said on 10/20/07 @ 09:38 AM:
work is a fucking disease

oh yeah gee said on 10/21/07 @ 03:16 AM:
work is hazardous to your health. It is probably the greatest cause of most major diseases of body and mind. I would urge anyone with the option to do so, to quit their mindless job right and search for meaning in their lives.

PinkPony said on 10/22/07 @ 05:40 AM:
Can't believe that I am not the only one who feels that they hate work. Its not my job I hate...its work. I have tried everything & now am self employed and I am still not happy. Just hate the thought of having to work so hard just to pay the bills. Not even enough cash for fun, holidays, nice treats...I am not clever...never got a university degree so I have no option but to work for low pay. Wish I had less of a conscience as I would sell my body for loads of money and just get wined and dined all the time by rich people who want to chuck away their easy come money. Its nice to know that other people hate work too. Reading some of your comments has helped me appreciate that I am now self employed & do not have a boss to answer to, nor bitching colleagues who all hate me and each other. But even so, please can I join your community where no-one works and everyone is happy!!

oh yeah gee said on 10/22/07 @ 07:12 AM:
I worked in an insurance office in New York twenty years ago and quitting was the best thing I ever did with my life. I took some time off and traveled in Europe (on my savings) and then after half a year of temping I came to Japan where I have been ever since. Now I study the traditional Noh theatre of Japan and support myself teaching English. I doubt I would have found the right path for myself if I had stayed in that dreary, degrading office.

sarah hates work very much said on 10/29/07 @ 01:03 AM:
I wrote here back in August and I'm back. Still in the shitty job, which pays well but I have to look after 12 morons who want to do bare minimum while my manager busts my chops and they expect to get away with it. I am leaving in Jun /July next year and going to start my own business! WOO HOO. I'll still have to work-but I only have myself to rely on and answer too. I think I would even consider temping or part time work to make the $$ and just LIVE..

Mary said on 10/30/07 @ 06:38 PM:
I got laid off! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! Someone up there did what I didn't have the courage to do, get me out of that shit fucking job. Fuck them, I hated that job anyway. Do yourself a favor if you're reading this. NEVER SETTLE FOR A CORPORATE OR OFFICE JOB. Corporations DO NOT give a flying fuck about you. Follow your dreams, do whatever it takes to do something you love because those shitty jobs where fear follows you every day... fear that your position will be outsourced, you'll be replaced, you're not learning new skills, you're overworked, you're bored, whatever... that shit chips away at you and changes who you are.

teal said on 11/13/07 @ 06:43 AM:
Work sucks. The thought of waking every weekday morning fills me with dread. My boss and company don't believe in the concept of work-life balance. 12-hour days are the norm, despite the balance that HR supposedly espouses. I hate all the bureaucracy, of going there every morning thinking, "Just another 12 hours to go." The minutes seem to tick ever so slowly. I want to leave this whole damned place and take a permanent gap year. Life is too short to be wasted in a cubicle or serving idiots.

BetterthenLife said on 11/15/07 @ 01:30 PM:
There is something better out there people!! Haven't you heard!!

It's Jesus !!

Life is not easy, will never be easy, but with the Lord on your side you'll know something much better, better then Life!! or what it has to offer. Jesus offers far more then you could ever imagine. Are you hungry?, thirsty? for something MORE?, then Jesus really is the answer.
Your job, your car, your house, NOTHING will give you what your heart desires but Jesus can. He will direct your path in the way you should go. He will give you the life you so desire. So?, what are you waiting for!! Find a bible that speaks YOUR language and get to know HIM.
He WILL set you FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate working so much, it's really unfair! It's almost crazy that we should be happy to have a job but my GOD! IT SUCKS SO MUCH!

OH YES IM SO HAPPY THAT I AM WORKING MY ASS OFF FOR THE BIG GUY SO HE CAN HAVE EVERYTHING HE ENJOYS! What about the good hardworking soul what do they get? shit! OH GOODIE I GOT MARRIED! YEAH THAT LASTEST what A DAY? It's such bull! The pays decent (only to pay for crap like food, shelter, car, insurance) ITS SUCH CRAP, like I drive a nice vehicle which I should be happy about but DAMN WHO CARES if I have to live at work? MY PLACE IS NICE WHO CARES IF I DON"T HAVE ENOUGH FUCKIN TIME TO CLEAN IT! IT SUCKS SO FUCKIN MUCH! LIKE I WANT TO CLEAN AFTER FUCKING WORKING ALL DAY! I wish I had ALOT OF MONEY, they are the only ones who TRUELY GET TO ENJOY THE GIFT OF LIFE! THEY REALLY DO THE RICH AND THE FAMOUS...LUCKY ASS FUCKIN BASTARDS! I HATE IT I HATE IT! I'm not even holding back! LIKE I WISH I COULD JUST DIE! IT SUUUUCKSSS! I'm cute and seem to have more than others but REALLY MY GOD, MY JOB IS SO BORING! I DONT WANT TO BE THERE ALL THE DAMN TIME! EVEN IF IT WAS FUN LIKE MY LAST WHO CARES I DONT WANT TO DO IT! KISSING UP TO SUPERIORS HEARING THEIR STUPID MOUTH, ALL THE FAKE CRAP! PLEASE I HOPE I DIE REALLY I DO! SOON, PLEASE! I JUST WANT ALOT OF MONEY, IT REALLY IS EVERYTHING! IT WOULD GET ME OUT OF THIS CRAP! I'm in my 20's and have a very long WAY TO GO! IT SUCKS!!!! EVEN RETIREMENT IS A JOKE, YOU HAVE TO LIVE OFF OF WHAT YOU SAVE THAT SUCKS TOO! YAy! A FIXED INCOME SOUNDS FUN! I JUST WANT A LOT OF MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW!

Megatron said on 11/18/07 @ 01:15 PM:
And in order to save a lot for retirement, you can't spend a lot if you have a mediocre average income like mine. So in order to have a lot for retirement, I have to go through my whole young life saving money and not having anything nice. But hey, when i'm an old bastard and probably can't even walk I'll be able to take vacation and probably will have all kinds of back pain and other shit so I won't really enjoy it, that's if I even live that long. And if I die b4 then, all the money I saved goes to someone else .

But I guess we can't all be like Britney Spears, white trash, drug addict , and can't even hold on to her own damn kids making around $700,000 a MONTH. Yeah, she does make that for doing what??? She can't even sing!

Dara said on 11/18/07 @ 10:10 PM:
Even the recognition they dole out at my work is virtually meaningless. Employee of the month = popularity contest. Last month the employees who worked their asses off finishing an utterly thankless project (not me or any friend of mine) lost to someone whose achievement was doing the bare minimum at her job. Wow, she comes on time like everyone else and hasn't fucked up big-time, give her a fucking trophy. Who cares about those pushovers working on the weekend because they were given a special project that our retarded computer system can't even handle. WTF.

Chose Life said on 11/19/07 @ 06:40 AM:
Not having the job of your dreams isn't worth dying over.
Not having all the money you think you need, isn't worth dying over.
Find what makes YOU happy and go for it.
Life is too short to compare yourself to others especially immature, self absorbed super stars.
We've got it made. We can screw up and it's not going to be on national TV!!

CiscoGuy said on 11/20/07 @ 10:15 AM:
I hate working in an office for someone else and commuting to work. I have hated working in office ever since i started working in an office. Anyway I have to work until I have stated to do something that makes me money and gives me joy. Until then I won't change myself for the sake of being liked by the people i work with. No more laughing at the office clowns jokes i dont understand. No more trying to be chatty or funny, comes off all wrong. I'll be just myself.

Fuck work for others..Work for yourself.

Friend4Life said on 11/20/07 @ 10:50 AM:
Hey CiscoGuy, I completely understand where your coming from. I too will not be laughing at the office clowns or have conversations with others about crap I could totally care less about. !! I'm tired of the pretenses. No more!!
Do not trust anyone, they laugh in your face then stab you in the back when you least expect it.
There is so much hate,jealousy,compitition in the work place that there's no wonder so many of us hate Work.

It's sad when it's the work you hate.
It's shit when it's the people you hate.
but it's HELL when it's both.

ohwhyme? said on 11/21/07 @ 02:59 PM:
i hope one day i get on the wrong side of the boss then i can say i got fired cos the boss dosent like me, instead of "i quit cos im lazy and wish i was in bed watching friends all day"

son said on 11/26/07 @ 04:13 AM:
i also hate work. i hate my job, my co-workers and my boss. i also hate my life. I hate waking up early, I hate working late and I hate the feeling i get when i am walking down the hall to my office on any morning during the week. work makes my life miserable and I can't quit yet. I have bills.

Tired_of_this_shit said on 11/26/07 @ 04:17 AM:
I am currently unemployed. I have bills to pay. Which means I am stressed out because I don't have the very thing I don't want. A FUCKING JOB. How cruel is life?????

All about me said on 11/28/07 @ 01:53 PM:
I hate my job, the people in my office. Work is busy but BORING! Same crap day in day out. The only thing I look forward to is the weekends. But the same old crap starts again on Monday!!

Successful Kid said on 11/29/07 @ 12:40 AM:
People people people. I agree with you, (normal [as in cubicle/desk jobs]) work sucks balls, but people, you live in America (well most of you). America is the LAND OF OPPERTUNITY. Do you know what that means? That means that all of you have the right and the priviledge to become who you want to be, and no one can tell you otherwise. Do you want to be successful and rich? Here in America, you can be. I've already reached that stage, and I'm only 18 years old! That's right, I make more than enough money to survive, and my full-time is not even half of your part time (I work 1 hour a day whenever I so please), yet I make at least 2 times a normal person's annual salary in one month, sometimes more! (and sometimes less...but rarely) Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not here to brag. Far from it. In fact, I hate people who brag. What I'm trying to tell you, is that, people who complain about no control over their lives/destiny are stupid. You DO have control over your lives and/or destiny. You all hate your jobs, yet, you all do nothing about it. You heard me right. You do NOTHING about it. If you did something about it, you would not be posting up here. You know what you need to do? You need to take a day off (call in sick or do it over the weekend) and just sit and think. Think about what you really want to do for a living. The job that you would actually not mind going to every day. Think about what job would make you happy. After you've done that, research about it, and find out what you need to do to get there. Then finally, work to achieve that goal. Don't give me the whole "it's not that easy" bullshit. Make it. Make it easy. Make it happen. You all sit there hating your jobs and dream about living a better life, yet you don't do shit about it. Study shows, and I've even conducted a mini experiment of my own, that if a person was shown how to make a successful and abundant living, 98% of them would not even do it, be it they're lazy or whatnot. The main idea here, is that no one would be willing to do the work to achieve their high standard goals. Well peoples, I hate to break bad news, but to be successful, you have to do something. Oh my god! It must be such a shock. You actually have to work to make life better. Excuse my asshole attitude, but I'm trying to levy a point here. What I'm trying to say, is that most, if not all of you hate your jobs, but you're not working to make it better. You're only dreaming. And although I am one of the biggest dreamers you will ever come across, dreaming will only get you so far, and in this cruel world of work and mo
