Gemmill 44784 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I'd be the same if I was at the old place. Honestly though, unless you're the sort of person who is self employed and/or have managed to turn something that you love doing into your job, or you're doing a genuine good thing like saving lives, you SHOULD see work as a massive inconvenience and an imposition on your time. That's what it is. It's stopping you doing the things that you'd like to be doing or spending time with friends and family, and as necessary as it is to earn a living, that is bullshit and you shouldn't be getting up with a big smile on your face to bust a gut to make someone else rich. Americans are terrible for this. Thinking that hard work, in and of itself, is somehow a virtue. Fuck that. You've been hoodwinked. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10838 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 It's all bullshit. You work for some wealthy people, so they can get more wealth by doing nothing. Then they give you the tiniest fraction of their wealth, so you can spend it on things to make your life more enjoyable, and in so doing feather the nests of other wealthy people who get more money for doing nothing. With the level of automation we're capable of, we should all be having days of leisure where essentials cost fuck all and 'luxuries' are common place. But greed is a mother fucker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20109 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 2 hours ago, Gemmill said: It is only work, but it's also absolutely dismal when you're doing a job you hate. The place I left recently eventually got the investment it needed to survive, but from a complete cunt who is talking about insisting people do 5 days a week in the London office. Now this was a North East based startup project, so this is effectively constructive dismissal of all of the people that worked on it from the beginning and built it into a successful business. He just wants his own team working in London so he's making this ludicrous demand because he knows everyone will leave. I genuinely don't know how rich cunts like this sleep, doing that to people. I was really fortunate to get out before all this shit happened. My wife left her last company with no job she was that fucked off and down. She left and got a new job and she's been in it for 2 months now and you can see the spring in her step (or maybe that's the Wilson injury). Anyways, he old MD who was an UBER cunt has won an award from some cock suckers about his management. Yet he couldn't give a flying fuck about people. He is a robot he grafts like fuck for what? Not see his kids grow up? Not go on holiday? Not see his wife? Oh but he has a wine cellar and two Astons! Get to fuck. Since she's left another 12 people in Leeds have handed their notices in. They didn't have enough staff as it was, then some investor came in and put an immediate halt on recruitment whilst they went over things. Now they're more fucked 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33094 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Got offered a job yesterday, knocked it back, it was flexible working but the shift pattern I got given on the offer wasn't flexible working and only temporary, (which wasn't mentioned) but I'd also have been out and about up to Berwick, down to Scarborough etc which sounds great but I can't be that far from the missus in case she falls down etc. Went for an another interview at dinner time and I was barely back in the house when she phoned back to unofficially offer me the job to 'get me off the market' as she said nobody else came close to touching me who she'd seen so far. It's only 25 hours, money is shit but it's something different as long as we can afford it I'll give it a bash. A lot will depend on certain other circumstances out of my control going the right and proper way but I've nothing to lose really, I'm officially a carer so there's no comebacks if it isn't suitable for our circumstances. The missus overheard the gushing praise and is now slightly worried. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americans are terrible for this. Thinking that hard work, in and of itself, is somehow a virtue. Fuck that. You've been hoodwinked. Couldn’t agree more. The trick is not to get too invested in work. You’re contractually obliged to do your job and the company are contractually obliged to pay you for doing your job, that’s it. I’ve been working for my current company for 13 years and I won’t give it a second thought the day after I leave. They can get to fuck as soon as they are no longer paying me. Mind you, my job is as pointless as they come. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10838 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Pretty pleasantly surprised. After my second batch of Paternity Leave I get 6 months working 80% of my hours for 100% pay and benefits, so I'm going to be taking every Monday off April-September. So I give my boss the dates and she asks if I know if I get the Bank Holidays as days in lieu. I say "that's not policy, no". She says that's not right, so changes the dates and sends it off. Her boss signs it off immediately. I effectively get another month of Mondays off. Is it because she wants to keep a valued member of the team happy, or is it because I'm entirely worthless? Either way I get a month or monday's off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old religious scottish woman from the Hebrides is dying, she and her husband visit London for some reason, maybe to see a cancer specialist, and much to her shock there is some filfthy porn on the telly in the hotel bedroom. She screws up her face and turns to her husband "so that's what you wanted me to do?". Her husband, literally in tears of despair, sobs "aye".

You're lucky she feels sorry for and don't deserve the extra days for that meek show. (Well done though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13856 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Officially halfway through this Mexican holiday, have my first official hangover and am already ultra depressed about going back to reality and work.

Renton 21556 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 That's the spirit. Mid-holiday crisis, get back on the tequila. Also, they sell all sorts of hangover cures in Mexican pharmacies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44784 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Once you get to the halfway point in the holiday, that's usually the time that the work fear starts to set back in for me like. Nothing to look forward to when you go back either. Good luck AH, enjoy the rest of your holiday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4247 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Im really lucky in that I designed my own role as the company didn’t want to lose me. Today I have worked probably 45 minutes (from home) and this week a generous 10 hours. Im still bored and am looking elsewhere, it’s just the norm isn’t it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
