I don't like my job.

I have been employed 2 months at my retail job. I sensor clothes in the back. You know, those little alarm tags attached to clothes. Man, we get clothes 3 times a week, and that's all there is to do. The managers are all bugging everyone to finish them all up. I think we need more people. I am working the hardest I can. Anyway, but they have been buggin the person in charge in the back. She thinks they want to fire her, but I think we are trying the best we can.

Anyway, but I also help unpack things and place them in the correct containers. Man this is so harsh on my hands, and I was already switched places with that woman who was a b#tch to me. Still, because they want us to get things done in a pressured amount of time, they are now pushing boxes and throwing things. I am sick of this.

Also, we have to get up really early in the morning, and I know that's hard, but people have a moody attitude almost always which rubs off on you. I like that I have weekends off and get off early, but that's it.

I don't feel that welcome there. I feel overworked, like a slave and this is so mind-dulling.

I already knew I didn't like retail, but it's the job that I got. Some people are there for years, and I am like man what a boring job. I see that there are a few that seem to enjoy it.

Retail is unfulfilling for me. I don't find selling clothes or raising sales fulfilling or motivating.

What organizations are out there that I could work for like helping others? Even if it is working in the office...help!

Also, because I need a job temporarily just for income earning purpose...I thought about working at the amusement park. I want to work preparing food in the back, but the requirement says you have to handle the register. You know it's all noisy at an amusement park. What do you think I could tell them to try to get the job this time? I always wanted to work in the food area to learn what it's like. I know most don't like it, but still I am curious even if it's for a temporary time.

Same here. I didn't like my job at Pizza Hut's dishes. I hate part of it. Also I didn't like the job at Meijer's bagger. I don't want to work at Restaurant or fast food anymore. It's killed my back by heavy lifting. I prefer stay at home being housewife and do jewelry business at home. I love to use the computer and do blog, and selling my jewelry.

Hey, that's the exactly the same problem I had when I worked at Target back in 1997. I get too many complaints that I can't work fast enough with putting security badges on the clothes in the store room. Thank god I don't work there anymore! I hate Target when it comes to job! Their motto for employment sucks and it's a lie!

hhmmmm..... check Craigslist for some quick income! that's what I do in my free time. I freelance a couple of web projects. Sorry to hear about your demise.... You gotta quit because nobody should deserve to be treated like shit! They only treated you like shit because they know it's a shit job and they're too depressed about it. They're just mad at themselves

Perhaps you need to, like many Deaf folks do, educate the food service industry that you can succeed. There are entire restaurants run by deaf people in Cairo and elsewhere. Find articles, prove your ability (like everyone - deaf and hearing - do) and go for it.

Life is short; play hard.

I wanted to work at a bakery or panera, but I always wonder if you need experience as a cook. Anyone worked for a bakery or panera?

Also, it isn't encouraging to the employees when they are told about what's not right instead of what's right.

You can get a job. I was almost get into job at Panera Bread. But the boss is a weird and get 50 people for an interview. I rather 1 to 1 not in public. I didn't make it. I used to work for Dough at Pizza Hut. It's easy job. In your hometown with Panera Bread. You can try to fill out for job application. Dough is easy job. You make me so HUNGRY to eat a Panera Bread. It's my favorite! LoL

If u dont like your job, try to find a job that u will enjoy. What are your interests?

For me, I know I cant sit at a desk in front of a computer doing the same thing over and over day in and day out which was why I quit my full-time job at Farmer's Insurance to go back to school full time. Now, I have a job that constantly challenges me, especially my mind and keeps me moving all day and I love it!

lol you guys are funny about feeling good being fired. LOL, I do worry about that if it's something that I didn't do right because I refuse to follow rules, but if it's them about nothing, then I wouldn't like it much, but sometimes I just think....."I don't care." lol

I did narrow down craigslist. I did look at it before, I remember, but I found nothing. Boy, those scams are sure annoying.

PM me about working at home. Definitely under $29.00 to start up and I help you with the training and mentor you as long as it takes. Sometimes there are promotions that cut the start up fee to half or even less.

Once you are started, roughly $50 to $60 a month in your orders BUT you get what you want, and switch stores! Tell your friends about it and you get commissions that offset your order price.

Give it a whirl. No risk up to 4 months.

I once work for Pizza hut as dishwasher. Sure I HATE this job. I didn't quit that time, what I did was keep doing dishes while looking for better job. This has proven what the old timers told me many times that it is best to start somewhere in the bottom which usually these jobs that nobody likes.

I ended up have great job and had no regrets. Took me 7 years to get this far and now understand why it is best to start the lousy job first. Stick with your job and keep looking for better job. Also here is the truth. Most companies prefer hire somebody that is currently employed than hiring somebody straight from living room couch.
