Have you ever hated your job to the point it disgusts you, the people disgust you, the clients disgust you. Going in everyday makes you feel angry because your stuck there till you get the oppurtunity to move to something you love?

I absoloutely dispise my job right now, the people I work with are somewhat okay and thats what keeps me here. I stay because I need the money, the job itself while helping people is full of ****.

At the end of the day for each client I help and succeed with the company gets paid for. The company preaches to its employees and possible new employees that they should feel satisfaction for helping people.That is a load of horse because they dont care truely about the clients and after working here for some time you come to realise that all the services provided are for the most part horrible half assed and inefficient. Designed by people who just want to push people through there money meat grinder and not designed to really make a difference to them. I consistantly hit or go over my targets but have no desire to clime in this company its not worth it.

I believe in doing a job well if your going to do it so Im not half assing in my job even though I hate it so much. Sometimes I feel like the Directors are a bunch of Baboons who have no idea how to implement proper policys -_-


At the end of all this however I have no interest in this job its so meaningless, and even other alternatives seem just as meaningless. I want to work but working in a job that contributes no real worth back to society is soul destroying.

What I really want to do is study Aeronautical Engineering and go to Uni, Im only 23 and its something I really want to do and make a life time career in. Im just struggling to figure out how I can do this now, how I can afford it.


I would like to just reiterate how much I want to claw my eyes out instead of come into work everyday to this god forsaken place .
Taking advantage of the unfortunate so the fortunate can make more money pfft.



Sorry guys I just needed to vent somewhere and I know what I said was a little vague.



Now to my question how many of you have felt like this before?

We all feel this way every now and again. If it is truly an issue, do something - find something that excites you and work to have that as your job (training etc)
 
Can a mod move this to general discussion Im sorry I posted this in the wrong forum.

Done

And I hate my job with a passion. I've been trying to get out of it for ages now but it's not the company that's the problem, it's my chosen career.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do anything else so I'm kind of stuck.

Being a Don can't be that bad :p:p

I feel the same -_- I jsut dont know how I can afford right now to study.
 
Depends what classifies as my job, I had a job that was ok but the boss I had made it absolutely unbearable. He got the sack in the end for just generally being useless, horrible and incompetent. As well as ****ing off all of the drivers (transport company)
His replacement wasn't much better either, I was so happy when I left there :)

At many points in that job I wished that I was the type of person who had the balls to walk out of a job before I had found another, I just can't willingly put myself in financial uncertainty like that.
 
i ended up like this a few years back and ended up taking a couple of months off due to the stress (among with other things in my life like a close death in the family and very large money worries leading to house reposession & bankruptcy) leading me to depression, the company offered no support and when i spoke to them about coming back from sick and opened up to them to explain what the problems were the response i got was "ahh well you know what it can be like".

i took the opertunity to move positions, although on less money with the same company it was back to an old position i had held, and from that position i ended up in my current job which although very similar is with a much better company on nearly twice the money plus share and saving options.

i cant offer advise on going back to uni but if you have no large debts i would seriously look into it, i work as a laboratory technician and my only regret is not doing uni, i left at AS level as i wanted a practical job and i love what i do but trying to move up the company ladder is going to be very difficult to near impossible as i will be competing with PhD and Bsc staff but i am more then happy with my current role for the next few years atleast

Im 28 with a family so changing careers now is a no go but when i was at my worst i was very close to just telling the company where to go, now im at a new job im glad i didnt
 
I'm lucky in that I absolutely love what I do, work with fantastic people and have the ability to simply disengage with clients I don't like.

However, the moment that changes will be the moment just before I walk out of the door. I work too hard and too long to waste time doing something I don't enjoy or something that doesn't stimulate me. Sounds like you need to get out ASAFP, OP, simply because carrying on will end up quite literally destroying you. Best of luck with it. :)
 
You want to do a degree in aero engineering but not sure how to fund it?


Apply to airbus as an engineering apprentice, you'll get a peo and nvq and a degree in aero engineering and get paid, and get experience and have a job waiting.

Should be able to get in for.net year if you hurry and apply now.

Just remember it's very competitive though
 
Are you in the care industry? If so, I don't blame you for hating your job. It's pretty rough to work in right now.
 
I don't hate my job but I wish it was more balanced. 2 weeks of the month is insanity with late finishes and stress and then 2 weeks is laid back chill.

All out of my hands, down to clients.
 
I hate my current job, the hours are long. The environment is hot, dirty and bad for my health.
The other employees in my area are either lazy, incompetent or just lady parts.
I can't get a job elsewhere due to lack of experience

Sounds like my job. Monday Tuesday Wednesday, absolutely crazy. Thursday Friday: dead (but outbound calls to fill the time)
 
Software engineer in a global corporation for 15ish years feel very similar.
Higher management have succeeded in sucking out pretty much all joy from the job and turned it into a global "dog eat dog". Making undeserving rich people richer is not what I want my life's work to be :0(
 
Yes. When I was a car salesman, I hated the management, so much it made me ill.

The two other sales guys and service team/customers were great, but the dealer principal was a monster.
 
Yes, when I was an Engineering Technician. I hated almost every minute of it over the last few years, but didn't have the qulifications I needed to go further in the direction I wanted to.

I decided I was going nowhere, self-funded a HND in Manufacturing Engineering and am now a Design Engineer in a job that is at times very challenging. I hope to do a degree soon.
