How do you deal with full time work?

[P.]

I enjoy work and realise its hard to live with no job!

[fatpies]

TBH I don't like my work either (Self employed director of my own Ltd company). I do it because I simply took too much BS from my old bosses.

Also I do it to build up a nest egg for when I can no longer work.

Been asking myself the same question lately. Im stuck in a job i hate, doing 10.5 hours a night, that my trade qualification is wasted on. Its boring, repetitive & cant wait to get something better again. Came very close to just packing it in, but I just remind myself i'd be worse off, & that I do have things to pay for & try to enjoy spending the money when the week is finally over. Though ive found myself less happy spending the most wage ive ever had, compared to a job I actually liked for half the wage.
I used to work at a place I loved, the people were awesome, the job itself was just what I wanted to be doing & although I was on a shitty apprentice wage I didn't care, because I was very happy. Now, I hate this place, the people are all backstabbers & im completeley miserable.
Also, that ive been brought up in that if you want something, you work for it. Theres plenty of people my age that I know who have done jack sh!t & had mommy & daddy pay for their flash cars or whatever. I hate that.

I have to do 12-13 hr shifts with people who are brain dead, unable to use the skills I have or the experience, feel dragged down by the lowest life forms.
Not long ago I wouldn't have even scraped them off my shoe, now I have to interact with them, listen to their goings on, how they will rule the world, how they are going to show it to the man.
But my kids need a roof and I need to eat, so at the moment I have to bend over and lube up.

I now have a job where I manage my own time, (not the best paid though - would make it a little nicer)

Now I have less time than ever, plus looking after children a lot of the time 'me' or 'me and the missus's' time is not much at all.

The 8 hour day used to be ok, would find myself losing sanity slowly, but at least after 2pm I could do what I want.

I like what I do, but if I could I would do it a lot less, if I won the lotto I would still work, just not anywhere near as much.

Roger has a point that we should all put in, although as time goes by things get a bit messy, a lot of what we have/do nowadays is unnecessary, which then forces everyone else into doing more, if we all just had enough for a basic lifestyle everyone could do less - however this is hard to do in a modern society, the world may not owe us a living, but flip it over and we are expected to contribute but theres no law of nature that says we have to, or want to be included in the contribution to excess, we just are.

I have no problem with work. In fact I would work for as many hours as you want along as the money's good and I enjoy it. Currently I'm on 37 hrs a week with no overtime but the money is still good.

If I got holidays i'd probably bitch less

I'm officially bank staff so get no annual leave entitlement, 21 days paid leave in a year would definitely sweeten the deal
My jobs by no means terrible, i've got it easy, sit on my arse on BCF when it's quiet

It's just a griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind

Gotta focus on the positives and advancement and experience I guess, I may be a lowly receptionist now, but eventually I might be a PA then a middle management cunt

That's where i'm going with it, i guess
My mood is a yo-yo

Reading the WTD

There is a minimum right to paid holiday, but your employer may offer more than this. The main things you should know about holiday rights are that:
you are entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks paid annual leave - 28 days for someone working five days a week (capped at a statutory maximum of 28 days for all working patterns)

I've worked full time for a year now and had none, surely my contract is actually illegal as such

Gonna read into it more and maybe bring it up to my employer
See you down the job centre

None of these apply to me https://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Employees/Timeoffandholidays/DG_10034642

Meh, I accepted the contract so i've always been well aware, I would jsut rather get paid leave.

Yesterday we were mopping up someone's piss, and today someone shit in the middle of the floor in the toilet

I deserve a break D;

No one has mentioned education????

If your in a grind and don't enjoy your job, you have a few options, none are easy though, as you will find in life.

1. Go to night school as well as do your job with the aim being to broaden your job options.

2. Work 2 jobs or work twice as hard and get into management ( it is easier to delegate than actually do, but you need the right skill set).

3. Leach off the rest of us and then whinge that us workers have x y and z and you don't. (Oh wait it's the other way round).

Totally agree, too many 'managers' that couldn't manage a brownie pack let alone a business, so the right 'skill set' would be ability to man manage and delegate and get stuck in and know the job inside out etc etc.

Leaches, well that is up to interpretation but my view is it is someone who takes but does not put in.
