How many people work at a job they do not like?
« on: February 24, 2013, 12:01:08 am »
I do not like my part time job I have now.   A few months ago I love this job, but now they are adding so much additional work to this job and not increasing the pay.  I am looking for a better job, but I will hang in here to I find a better job with better pay. :thumbsup: I hope I am not the only one with this problem?

I think a lot of people are probably in the same boat as you.  Ever since the economy tanked, employers are relying on fewer people to do more of the work.  Since so many people are out of work, there is always someone ready to come in and do the job for less pay as well.   I'm currently doing three jobs for one paycheck.   I keep doing it because if/when the economy turns around, I will be in a position to show why I should get a very large raise.

I have like every job I have ever had because I learn more and more with each job.  Not like my father that worked for the same company for 47 yearws and complained about it the whole time.

I like my job ok I just don't like working in general.  If I could I'd retire tomorrow and never work another day in my life.

Most people work at a job, that they dont like, because they dont have another option. Personally, I feel that somejob is better than none.

I work at Walmart as a people greeter.  Be there almost 9 years.  I retired from my other job 10 years ago.  I worked there 32 years.  I like both both jobs but I will be 72 next month and would like to stay home.  But I don't see that happening.  I can not live on SS.  Hope everyone has a wonderful day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

My second job that is considered to be part-time but is 37 hours a week has become ALOT of aggravation to me, I am working to get myself out of there.

I am 59 years old and I have worked quite a few jobs and I can say there were none of them I really liked. There were just some that were less evil lol.  I would have rather been spending time with my disabled husband but I did what I had to do and I think a lot of people dislike their jobs but they do what they gotta do.
