Author Topic: I hate my new job..... (Read 10106 times)

webcake · « **on:** December 05, 2009, 12:55:25 AM »

Unfortunately this time i am actually starting a serious thread. Been in the job 2 months now and hate it. There really isn't an element of the job that i enjoy. There are parts i dislike, and there are parts i hate. I dread going into work and find it hard to relax on the weekends as i know Monday is right around the corner.

I have pretty much made up my mind about what i will do, but was just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and what they did/what their advice is.

Sincerely,
webcke

So you work as a fitness trainer?

You probably need the money, so I wouldn't quit if I were you.

Work there long enough to be eligible for unemployment and then have them fire you because you can't do the job properly. Don't come in late. Don't cop an attitude. Just stick it out until you're eligible. When you are, just start fucking up. Have them fire you. Then you are free. I recently stuck it out with a job for almost 8 months that I hated. I hated my boss. I hated my bitchy colleagues. I hated the salary and the location. I waited until I was eligible for unemployment and then I started making mistakes at work. They gave me a verbal warning. Then a written warning. Then a final warning. Then they fired me. I'm collecting unemployment now (eligible for 8 months). At the same time I'm working as a valet on the weekends, making cash money. Two paychecks bro. Can't complain.

No, the current (dreaded) job is commercial property management.

Obviously having the qualification, getting a job in the fitness industry should be relatively easy. Just a matter of determining whether that is a suitable long term kind of job. Decisions decisions.....

I have realised that i can't fucking handle 9-5 office jobs. Just not for me. I need to be doing something active.........which is why fitness is a good fit for me. The army is also in the cards.

I dunno know about the unemployment thing, danimal. I'm probably too proud to receive government handouts.

find a rich chick to support you while you're "in-between" career choices, make sure she has a costco card!

Sounds like you are not living the dream

webcake · « **Reply #11 on:** December 05, 2009, 01:23:53 AM »

No, the dream took an unexpected turn. I guess on the brightside i am still young. Ad i guess you just gotta be straight with yourself and if you don't like something.........don't do it.

lol, Seinfeld always has the answers.

Office jobs suck. Couple things that happen are; you end up getting caught up in the office gossip and drama, next thing you know your fired and you're like 'what the fvck just happened?'' Next, you just sit on your ass most of the time and get fat and miserable. (my girlfriend has an office job, she's back into her 'winter' clothes again. love her either way though)

Being active is the best fit for me too. When I'm stressed and stay active I handle it better. Fitness is cool, you stay around the positive energy. Army is straight for getting ahead except you might get shot... if you can handle that then your good

Fitness gets my vote.

Would your parents be supportive of you going into the fitness field?

Why not bounce plenty of pussy and lots of Fights now that is a GREAT job.

webcake · « **Reply #15 on:** December 05, 2009, 02:03:19 AM »

I kinda discussed it with them today. They are somewhat dissapointed as commercial real estate, provided you are "good" at it, can be a fairly well paying, long term kind of career. But if you don't like something, it's unlikely you will be very succesful in it.

You can make a career in fitness, but the odds are somewhat stacked against you. Have to just wait and see what happens i guess.....

How are they stacked? All it takes is listening to goals, and putting together a fitness program. People come, people go, some serious some not, as with any job in life.
You'll find a knack for something. Life changes all the time and money ain't everything if you ain't at least halfway enjoying what your doing.

In regards to the odds being stackedagainst you in fitness, the fitness has terrible longevity rates. Around 80% quit within the first year. That doesn't mean you can't be good at it, but for most people it is a temporary job, rather than a career.

Quicker, yeah mate thats pretty much what i'm gonna do. Just a matter of deciding exactly what it is i want to do.....

$:-\$

the problem with fitness in sydney is the hours... the trainers in the city are working by 5.30am then have to sit around from 9-noon, train people during lunch then sit around from 2-5pm then train people until 8-9pm...

webcake · « **Reply #22 on:** December 05, 2009, 02:46:45 AM »

I could sell my body!

ah well, shit happens.

webcake · « **Reply #23 on:** December 05, 2009, 02:48:49 AM »

Yeah, the hours are somewhat "staggered" hours in fitness. But to be honest, i would rather staggered hours as opposed to straight 9-5 hours. If you can get a job close to home, even better.
