fuck this job.com

after heart attack the powers at be labeled me a high risk liability no longer an asset to the company. they have workmenscomp in their pocket.so after seven years of service and heart attack ON the job, i was terminated n the union was told to stand down... wooow what a fucked up system we live n work in...

I am so sick and tired of the IT certification game. mcse, cissp, cisa, giac, ccne ....puke.

I see people with limited experience and 5 technical certs making good money. they can't log onto a computer but want 90k because they could remember 200 facts. they flood the market with their crap certs.

public accounting firms are a perfect example of this hypocrisy. these firms think that IT people should have a similar certs. we use the internet to find an acceptable answer in 10 seconds while CPAs will come up with a different number everytime they perform a financial analysis.

experience, education, soft skills and 1 or 2 certs should be fine. but it never is. these firms can't understand this issue. CPAs have to have some CPE every year. what a joke. I say that they should retake the exam every 4 years like I have to. both fields change rapidly...but IT gets screwed. I would bet that 75 percent of current CPAs would fail.

well, i am being laid off at a unforeseen date in the future, they made us Read 'who moved my cheese' I read the book and it is the biggest collection of shit i have ever seen. then they had a conferance call for the whole damn company to basically read the fucking book to us, if you've never read it it basically says shit changes deal with it, but, the company wanted us to take out of it, yes your getting fired, but work hard till we let you go, and don't look for a new job. I really hate my job.

fuck you very much. we the underpaid under appreciated the over worked the over ambitious the rebels the sheep and all those folks in between would like to take this moment to let you and your entire system can go fuck it's self. consider this, we live in a society were we can more easily imagine the complete and total collapse of all civilization and life on our planet than we can imagine an end of capitalism. frankly im tired of getting up every day and wasting 10 hours of my life 5-6 days a week so some asshole who doesnt give a damn whether or not i eat tonight can make another quarter of a million. for the record im assuming this is pretty much the same thing everyone posts on this site; however fuck this job, fuck this company and more importantly fuck this horrid week to week existance you market to me a life.

When I started my new job, I had an office looking right out onto the street front, from a second level building. I get back to work after a weekend and some dick had thrown some debris at the windows along that side of the building. Not only was it the inconvenience of cleaning up broken glass, the window frames are old timber and the wind blows and rattles the damn things constantly on a windy day.

So I moved ...

I moved about 3 offices over to a room with no view, and a few more power outlets and data outlets. Last week, I was trying to get something done, and I look up and see the manager looking through the window that is looking out into the corridor. This annoys me, because every office has blinds and mine doesn't ... Shit ...

This fucking company I work for is nothing but a big load of wankers who can't keep their fucking promises.

I wrote a 40 page MANUAL on the implementation and troublshooting of some network equipment because I am the only person in the company who KNOWS how this shit works. What really pisses me off, is I was promised $2000 for the work on this manual as it would be beneficial. I slaved my ass off and produced the document and what did I get in return ... "Thanks for the manual" and it gets uploaded to the fucking company knowledgebase.

I called my boss and reminded him, "What happened to that $2000 you promised me for that critial documentation?" to which he immediately avoided the subject and made an excuse that he would call me back later. That was days ago.

My boss calls me 9 this morning and tells me I have a "bad attitude" and "get defensive" when I am accused of not doing a good job(which is the only reason he ever calls me anyway). Then he tells me that he didn't like that fact that I asked, after 2 hours, what time our SUNDAY meeting would be over(since I wanted to visit my dad) and that he "felt like kicking the shit out of me" when I asked that. I told him he better not ever threaten me like that, I had never been spoken to by an employer like that and that my father's schedule didn't revolve around him and to fuck off. I've never been angrier at a boss in my life, I've been wanting to quit this job for 2 months, looks like I have my reason.

I work for a major telecommunications firm. My job is by far, the most frustrating, inane, repetitve jobs one could have. I am the "...this call may be monitored or recorded." person ... you know, the one that gets to listen to all of the unbelivebale ridiculousness that goes on throughout this companies call centers both domestically and internationally. Sounds like a pretty "cushy" and perhaps to those w/ no life, "interesting" job......... NOT when I get to listen to foriegn nationals w/ thick accents all day who don't have HALF a clue on what they're supposed to accomplish, or NOT when I have to listen to domestic agents w/ IQ's of about 50 on a good day. I actually have heard agents say, in response to the "so, where are you located?" question, "... Oh, I work in downtown California." ... really ... I'll let you all guess ... does that agent live in the USA or not ??? In all fariness, I've heard other agents say, in response to casual conversation of location yet again, "... Oh, you're in Philadelphia ... that's WEST of where I am." "...Really, where are you located?" "oh, I'm in TEXAS." ... just the beginning folks, just the beginning ... look for more to follow .......

I work in a call center. Enough said, you say? Yes, I know it may seem that way, but I have more. I do technical support for a horrible website. What was supposed to be a quick stop in my employment journey has turned into a year of boredom and seemingly wasted time. (Except for the check every two weeks) Hearing a constant beeping in your ear and speaking with angry, computer illiterate indivduals for hours has altered me in such a way that I can hardly begin to expand on my dilema. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Whoo! Had to get that out. So happy I found this site. I'm going to go cry for a few minutes, but I'll be back to vent more.

Well, and interesting week so far. My ex-Boss has been talking shit to his employees again telling them that they have the contract to build two sites.

Truth is, they barely landed the contract to build ONE site because of their quote.

They build the site, and I get a call to email one of their guys the configuration files so they can configure the equipment. HUH? No fucking way! That's MY job. I check with the projects manager and he says "No way!". Later on that afternoon, I get a visit from his new pleb (the guy who took over from me) wanting to pick up gear for the other site. Huh?

Wooohooo! I'm done! No more shitty fucking job for ME!

I don't have to face up to my condescending idiot of a boss at all. I don't need to do his shitty work around the house. I don't need to clean up HIS mess around the fucking workshop, and I don't have to put up with his mood-swings. I don't have to deal with his HIDEOUS wife (the 'administrator') who doesn't give a flying fuck about the company or anyone in it, except what SHE can get out of the fucking place. I don't have to switch vehicles or tow unnecessary trailers around all the damn time.

I'M NOT GOING TO MISS HIS SHIT AT ALL!

Woke up this morning feeling like complete crap. Looks like I've contracted a minor stomach virus, that and the fact I can't be stuffed doing anything. I checked my emails, and visited my usual sites and went back to bed and watched the Discovery Channel and National Geographic for a while.

Later on I felt like getting up, and fuck I felt awful. Someone called up to get some gear fitted, but wanted it done next week - sure. You'll get it next week too, but it won't be me. So expect a substandard or over-complicated job courtesy of the 'boss'.

Will be out of cellphone coverage on Saturday and Sunday, so that works out just fine. :)

Woke up at 9:30am and figured I should do something. I did, I rolled over and went back to sleep until my cellphone rings (10am). Fuck.

A client wants to jack me up to install some new gear next week. Not likely, I say thanks but I've resigned. They're cool about it, and will contact my boss to get the next pleb to rack up the gear.

Figured I had better go to workshop, and prove I did by putting a few kilometres on the work truck. Mission accomplished. Fixed some crap while I was there (2 minutes). Drove home, I'm not going to spend any more time in that depressing crap hole than I have to. One of the clients accurately described the place as 'soul destroying', and he's 100% correct.

Went to work this morning, was called to assess a job. Way too big, and it was avaition related. I'm not rated to fix that kind of shit, so I called the client and they were sweet about it.

Manager status : Fine about that, was about an hour out of town anyway. Whats he gonna do when he'll be 6 hours away anyway?

Decided to pack some faulty gear up to send back. Fired up Counterstrike and had about 10 minutes before one of the guys from the engineering workshop comes over with something for me to look at. Yeah, leave it with me. Spent another 10 minutes playing Counterstrike.

Decided to have a 2 hour snooze - no interruptions, must be because I 'accidentally' latched the front and back doors. Damn the wind for closing them.

WOOOHOOO! I had my job interview on Tuesday, and the outcome so far is very positive. According to inside information, I've got the better chance of getting this job that anyone else so far! One more step closer to NORMALITY and a REAL manager who doesn't feed us bullshit! I have a really good feeling about this potential position. If it happens I don't know how I'm going to react, but I think it'll involve me having a permanent grin on my face for the whole week!

Later on that day ...

Co worker (will refer to him as Bob in this case) and myself were sitting down making up a few cables and leads etc with all the gear for the next two jobs. We have just about finished all these connectors and Bob needs some specifications. So he called the company that sends us the gear. Bob's face turns from a grin to the look of utter despair as we were told we didn't have that job, and the gear has to be sent back! We have already been told by the boss that we have definitely got the next two jobs, and I suspect that we've been told some bullshit. What makes it worse, is he's taken off to Australia for Xmas and won't be back until the 4th of next month.
