What do you hate most about your job
- Thread starter homeytheclown
- Start date
I hate when coworkers use NURBS-based modeling software, or children’s software when they could use BIM software instead.
yessir...i do it because it makes my wife's commute much much easier. she works 10min from where we live but her hours are really wonky.
it's been four years of doing this drive 5-6 days a week, and i'm coming up on the edge of being able to handle it man...

You know the worst thing about your job is your victims escaping your car trunk.
I work with an honest to goodness real life Dwight shrute and it is not as fun as Jim made it seem like
I'm very new at my current gig and really like it. Dealing with morning/afternoon rush hour traffic in Louisville is all I can come up with.
But my last job didn't give employees raises for 7 years and management took bonuses all 7 years. Company recently laid off 33 percent of its work force and is likely to not be open by next year.
I survived the layoffs, but quit two months after having my workload double with no increase in pay. They recently made me an offer to come back - a much better title ... and $10K less a year than the company I left them for. I said nah.

Getting hit (or swung at, I'm not half bad at dodging) by patients. Bodily fluids - being spat in the eye is worse than poop, especially if you've raised kids. Though patients who like to throw their colostomy bags are the worst - but thankfully rare.
we have this one bathroom where people just CANT SEEM TO GET IT RIGHT

I love my job overall.
The worst part is supervising whiny, entitled, millennials.
I don't like to single out a generation but that is the common denominator for the complainers who want everything their way. Even though they are on the bottom of the totem pole.

Sounds like your old company is in a death spiral and circling the toilet bowl. I’d have to say you made the right choice in bailing out.

I love my job but it's a government job so I hate the fact that pay is based on an HR determined algorithm rather than actual performance. You can put in 10 years of sh***y work and get paid more than someone who does 5 years of amazing work.
And since were dropping generational anecdotes, supervising boomers who are slow working and resistant to change because it's not "the way it's been done".

Not a thing since I retired four years ago. And Sawnee Cat is right, I need a 300 hour week to do all the things I want to do.

This, but at the same time I really like this aspect as well. After 20 years in IT I have either learned to be more patient or learned to value my drinking time more.
April 26 can’t get here soon enough. (retirement officially starts May 1)
There are some fun aspects of that, for certain. Always learning. I just don't know how people can do it with a family. My GF still doesn't quite understand why I have to keep my ringer on overnight some weeks.
Today alone I'm reading about our External Email filter, .NET versions, Moving exchange from 2010 to 2016 (and that's a cluster eff in and of itself), AWS VCP's, Cisco Conferencing equipment.. not even 3 hours in. Just doesn't stop.
I think by the time I'm 40 I'd like to be out of IT. I'll go be a bartender or something with a bit more repetition. Old Fashions have been made the same way for nearly a century.. I like that!
How much I have to pay in taxes from my enormous paycheck. It gets exhausting.
I thought the same 10 years ago...over time I think you just get more comfortable with it. I'm over forty and I'll be in IT or Information Security until I can retire (young). Kids are almost grown and out so I guess we made it through that part without the uptime robot ruining our lives.
P.S. People are designed to be always learning so if you aren't doing it in IT you should keep doing that part regardless.
Writing new SOP and then filling out an exhaustive PI form for every small change made to our processes.
