Bramble-picker or Babysitter? (The jobs thread)

[Papa's new wife]

I HATE my job. It sucks.
This week I am working 6 days, no proper lunchbreaks (I have to do the banking on them, so I get about 5 mins for lunch which consists of I can I can't and a pack of fags).

My Boss is Hitler. The other person is The Bitch. They are both racist and homophobic. yet they work in Brighton?!?

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I hate my JOB!

[Son of Tubbs returns!]

Well said PNW!


My Job is taking the piss, i manage somewhere and my boss (who rarely visits, never lets me have holiday when I want it. I never get the chance of a lunchbreak.

I would leave, but have worked my nuts off to get to my position and I need the money.

I'm trapped

[Papa's new wife]

Have you been looking for other similar jobs? Surely there must be someone nice to work for? I am counting the days until I can give my notice.

I love my job (sorry!), but it's kind of scary at the moment as we're closing for a while to have our psychopathic Nazi landlord (who ever knew museums could have landlords, eh??) re-roof the place, and he changes his mind every 5 minutes, so who knows how long the museum will still even exist??

Whenever I'm not working I seem to be reviewing gigs, which is getting to be a right hassle and I'm getting fed up with it. Hence me feeling the need to join in the sulking!

[Papa's new wife]

Are you getting paid for gig reviews?

[ratgirl]

Only in tickets/cds...

[Papa's new wife]

I guess it was exciting at the beginning, but now annoying? Awwwwwww.

[ratgirl]

Yepyep! And I always worry that if I stop I'll really regret it, when I'd SO much rather have free time outside of work for other stuff... Hmm... anyone want a website??

[Papa's new wife]

I have free time, but friends are spreading out and I don't see them much anymore
No wonder my post count on here is stupid

[Cheeky Chezzy Woo]

yes a place to vent my spleen about my job, though the bitch at my place is leaving very soon which i am very happy about. buit still its annoying, we have no air con and the customers are very stuck up that come in and demand everything of you

[Papa's new wife]

Customers should be set on fire.
The other day someone tried to get their photos after we had shut. then they started banging on the door and yelling. they came back the next day to complain.
What the hell do you want from me? Do you want me to stay open all day and night, with no pay so you can get your stuff at a stupid time because you are so F*CKING STUPID you can't remember I told you when your stuff would be ready AND when we shut.

i have delt with a few irate customers before, one threw a til receipt in my face because i said i would put 5 quid back on her card but she wanted it in cash. thank good ness the girl on customer services as on the ball and has her hand in the til with a fiver for me to give her. Oh and another customer was comepletly evil to me on the phone. sounded like she was going to fly into a violent rage

The only way to deal with customers in shops or whatever is to start an "Idiot Customer" book. Seriously, it helps! When I worked in a cinema, we all used to write down the particularly stupid or irritating things people said, and it meant you actually got quite excited when someone was rude to you 'cos you could add it to the book!

We had a Nutters Book as well... It was fun!

That is such a great idea!

Glad I'm not the only one who hates my job...having to fawn around arrogant, overpaid tossers who think they can treat people like dirt if they're further down the ladder.
I hate the people I work for, but love the people I work with, so I'm procrastinating about looking for another job. I know I'll have to do it sooner or later (or risk turning into Geoff) but taking the plunge is the problem!

Thats a good idea. Never thought about that. Some of the customers we can spot a mile off so we know what they are like and hide. Today all the amensiacy customers were intoday "cuse me where's the toilet roll" and your stood in the toilet roll aisle *shakes head*.
