How Do People Deal With ****ty Jobs?

conja

My first and only job was working in a meat factory for about 6 hours (yes 6 hours) back in 2007 it was the worst moment of my life the horrible meat smells, the low wages, having to get up at 6am. I just walked out.

6 hours is all I could take. On the bright side the fear of going back to a job like that made my current business successful.

It's not 2007 anymore, even $hitty jobs are hard to come by now.

I'd imagine money makes it somewhat bearable.

Probably because ****ty jobs provide income that can be used in exchange for goods and services.

I have to pay the bills. I rather be in a job I hate, than be a dole parasite.

You just get on with it I suppose. I worked a minimum wage job during the boom when everyone was wiping their hole with €50 notes but it was all I knew at the time so it wasn't particularly depressing. If I had to go back to it now I probably wouldnt be best pleased though.

Some people have no choice but to work such jobs, others are born with a silver spoon in they're mouths.

Most jobs become shitty after a while, you put up with it to finance your lifestlye and have fun outside of work. How many people do you know who would honestly stay in their current job if they won a huge amount of money?

I would rather be a dole rat than get up a 6 AM everyday to go to a soul crushing job working around a sociopath boss for an extra 100 a week.

I know plenty of dole vermin who refuse paid work and remain on the dole.

I wouldn't. I'd rather not be a parasite.

...I used think the same. Still did it though. Anyhoo, what time did you finish at?

So do I. (Well, I know of them.) But lets be fair here and assume that the vast majority would prefer to have ****ty jobs than be on the dole. And I base that assumption on the dozens of people who I know personally who have been on the dole.

And this is the problem with this country.
I'd like a 6am job, better to get up early than (like me) have to start work at 12pm most days. Chances are you will only consider your boss a psychopath if you're nothing but a lazy c*ut who cant understand that you actually have to "work" if you want to earn money.

I've had a few really ****ty jobs but I enjoyed them all the same, for whatever reason. I'd never 'do a job' if I hated going to work every day. Sooner starve tbh

Everyone on the dole is a parasite now? What about people who were made redundant?

No the guy actually was a sociopath I was not aware until a few of the guys told me how fcuked up he was.

Who the hell are you to call me lazy I work 12 hours a day on my web design biz 7 days a week. Just so I never have to work a job like that.

Good for you, if it's one thing Ireland needs at the moment it's entrepreneurs but don't mistake people who can't get work for people who won't get work.

So you work 7 days a week for 12 hours a day, but thats not a job
If you don't even know what you do, what hope do the rest of us?

Hallucinogens.

The night shift in Tesco is so much more interesting after taking a few.

Well since you asked 4 times I quit on july 2007. Yeah I know you're still stuck in your ****ty job and can't believe others can break away and start their own 200k PA business. You will probably want proof now I suppose pm me and I will send you a link to my website.

You said you started at 6AM. At what time of day was your shift ended?
