I really like my job, when it was first described to me I thought I was going to be taking numbers from one column and putting them into another; not the most interesting work but I do enjoy buying things with money so I took it. The point is the job was sold short and I find it extremely interesting my boss(es) are extremely friendly and always teaching me new things which I’m picking up quickly and the reason I say this is because I know what it’s like to have a job that doesn’t have those qualities.
One of my first proper jobs was when I was 18; I got a job working as a dinning room/kitchen assistant at a nursing home. Each morning I had to wake up and go to work a piece of my soul died and seeing as I was working in a nursing home that wasn’t the only thing dying. Not to mention the fact that my boss was one of the least helpful people I’ve ever met, I literally got yelled at because she hadn’t shown me how to do my job and I didn’t ask, of course she didn’t tell me it was part of my job so I don’t know how I was meant to know I was supposed to ask… as you can see just the thought of it still makes me frustrated.
She ended up passing me off onto someone who had only worked there for a month and when that person quit a month later I got to train the new guy. All in all work can be a blessing if the environment is right or I can be a stressful nightmare. I know I’m not the only one who’s been driven insane by unhelpful bosses. Anyone else got a horror story?
