This thread has actually made me feel better about my job. Knowing that there are people out there suffering MORE than me. I still hate my job, but I am glad there are people who hate theirs more

Find another one. For most people this isn't a choice at all.

That's the problem, I've got so lazy lately, and have absolutely zero motivation, so I can't really be bothered to do anything at all!

We hadn't noticed.

My job used to be the best, until we got taken over by a bigger company, who are so tight they would charge us for the air we breath at work if they could, who are systematically destroying the job i used to love and turning it into a living hell of red tape and cost cuts.

Oh dear. This a difficult one. When I got ill I was about one month into a new job. They were really supportive and kept paying me. Now that I am better and back at work full time I have settled in and fucking hate it! It's hugely stressful and I don't want to go to work in the mornings! I kind of feel guilty about wanting to get the fuck out as they were so good to me, but my boss is a massive control freak and a bully. The rest of the people are institutionalised dead wood who constantly moan but will never do anything about it.

If you can run - run.
Life, as you know, is too short.

Well, the job that I hated which inspired this thread has gone (redundancy). I don't miss it in the slightest and feel far less stressed out all the time as a result. If you can, get the hell out Jonsaan! What MD said.

One of my friends who absolutely hates his job has been trying to get away with doing nothing for entire days on end, we've had a running bet going, it's quite hilarious.

He is only up to a day and half though, quite impressive I thought to do absolutely nothing productive in that time and get away with it.

It's call centre / support work so is quite a challenge!

How do you put yourself on ignore? I'd like that; I'm an annoying twat.

Never feel indebted to a company, particularly one that's run by shits. Life's too short!
