Job From Hell – Job Description
(These two posts were part of my private life review work that I didn’t put up publicly at the time of the walkabout.)
- Sitting in front of a computer all day long (Update 2013 – Hmmm, maybe I need to look a this one again)
- Not talking to anyone
- Doing rote activities
- A job where the work is insignificant/irrelevant
- Requiring a long commute in rush hour traffic in a big city
- No flexibility in the hours
- Working for someone who is inflexible and unwilling to improve procedures and focus of business
- A job where I have to be diplomatic all the time and not be honest (constant politicking)
- Low-paying – not being paid what I’m worth
- Being unappreciated and taken for granted
- Having no responsibility/power
- Having lots of responsibility and no power to accomplish the tasks
- Where I am not respected
- No creative freedom
- Intensely detail-oriented
- With no assistant
- With someone constantly looking over my shoulder to make sure I’m working
- With coworkers who are petty and who hate me
- In a cramped office with no windows, no music, no color, and recycled air
