all the politics and ass kissing, horrible co-workers/bosses...bleh...i really wonder how people can put up with the crap for their entire working lives without going postal!
IMO 90% of the stress comes mostly from interactions with your co-workers/boss and only 10% from the actual function of the job... |

| I've become desensitized to it and have stopped caring. I see so much messed up at work all of the time and it used to really bug me, but now I just shrug it off and go about my way. |

| I dunno, I found the job itself the worst part when I worked in the dairy / frozen department at Target. My boss seemed decent and was interesting to talk to, but the work I did was mind-numbingly boring... |

I'm the evening dairy order clerk at my store (see: not Target), and I love it. :p That job is one of the more independent ones in my department, so all of my bosses just leave me alone and let me do whatever I think needs to be done. It's nice.
Frozen order clerk, however... :nervous: |

| id much rather be in a corporate job than some stupid ass retail job that you have 5 chores and thats it. at least the admin job has things that make it more interesting. |

my ideal job would be like that in the sense that my boss would just leave me the alone to do what i had to do...unfortunately i've learned that more often than not they tend to be control freaks =/ |

Pretty much. I mean the job itself is boring, but the simple fact that I don't have to deal with any bull from people above me is what I like. |

Same here. I get from my immediate supervisors or managers sometimes because, to quote them "I don't give a ." I tell them they're spot on. I don't give a . Moving ing tables isn't something that I will dedicate my life to, and it certainly doesn't define who I am. I come in, do what's expected (sometimes a little less) and leave. I'm not gonna go out of my way to save their incompetent asses every time they screw up and I won't buy in to their corporate propaganda about how amazing it is to work for this damn company. |

And that reminds me why I love my job. I'm a web programmer/designer in a Japanese language school (awkward, I know) and, even though I could be earning more than I do now, the freedom I'm given is priceless :)
Also, it's almost drama-free. |

| i don't know. the previous job i had, i was listening or talking with managers 75% of the time, and doing actual work 25% of the time. i left that job for something better, and now i with co-workers to help them or help managers 75% of the time, and doing actual work 25% of the time ..... and the bosses ask why my production is not as quick as it used to be. :o |
