You think you have it bad....

You think you have it bad having to work with mean co-workers and grunpy bosses. How about imaginge having super vivious co-workers, rageholic insane bosses and a firm culture where starters ought to be shit on. On top of that you also get to work on shit that is inhumanely boring and dragging and worthless for 16+ hour days and most of the weekends.
Yeah that is me. Spending 90-100 hours out of the 168 hour week being ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE. I only have 78 hours a week to myself but that minus the very lttile time I get to sleep on average (including the weekends 6 hours a day which equals to 42 a week) Minus the time I use to commute to and back from work which is 7 hours/week. I only have 19 hours/ week to be myself.Not to mention I also spend time getting ready for work and getting ready to go to bed. How sad!!!! I only have less than 3 days out of a month where I am concious and not absolutely miserable.
I FUCKING hate my job!!!! I hate all the people think we are entilted and ought to shit on me, yell at me, and put me down for absolutely NO reason other than reminding me how much of a worthless peice of shit I am. I look at myself in the mirror everyday thinking" is this why I worked so hard in college for? is this what I thought would be a "glamorous job" ? How wrong was I!!??!?!
Now I tranformed from a bubbly, happy, optimistic, nice person to a depressed, persermistic, numb and emotionless creasure!!!

I cant stand it anymore..i really want out!!! However, my family has such high expectations of me and everybody was SO proud of me when I got this fucking miserable job! God help me! I think I would be suicidal if nothing happens soon! What should I do?!?!

Everybody isn't going to be proud of you when you are certified insane.
Please, look for another job. Just look in the paper, you don't have to commit to anything. Just look to see what else there is. Is it your co-workers that are driving you nuts or is it the job?

During the 19 hours you have to yourself, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT YOUR JOB.

I used to work with a good bunch of people, it does exsist.

I know how you feel...

Ibanking job right? Sounded so fucking great comin out of undergrad b-school right? All that glamour? Top floor of the building! The salary! The bonus! The opportunity to work for a fucking private equity shop two years from now! Whoop-dee-fucking-doo.

Thats all great, but not that great when you consider the fact that you just SOLD YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL. Fuck I-banks. Fuck their pretension, and fuck the slavery they put all the analysts through. I'm sure you have a great job looking at it SUPERFICIALLY, and I'm sure your family is proud as fuck as you. I know EXACTLY how you feel.

But man, get out. Just up and quit one day. Its so not worth being in the fuckin office till 2 am every morning. Its so stupid. It kills your soul. It kills the fire in your eyes. It ruins the human spirit. For what? MONEY? Fuck money dude, you can get any other job, which albeit pays less, but man you will have time for yourself! I know this is MUCH easier said than done. But you sound pretty down and out right now, and that can't possibly lead to good things...

Good luck man - you're gonna make it.

I am so with AlmostOut on this. The part about just "up and quit" out of the blue one day. I am so fucking close to doing that right now...

Like you, I am too damn young to feel this fucking old. We need to stop worrying about what others think, which without surprise is what drove me into the bullshit I keep getting in. The promises, the high-profile glamour, it's all glitz and glamour and people around you look at you with envy and awe but it's all so full of BULLSHIT, you just want to scream and smash shit.

Get outta there, man. Just...do what you gotta do to save your piece of mind. This is fucking horseshit. I hate everything.
