I did. My boss came in one day and asked why I always looked like I was in a bad mood(he said it with an attitude) so I said: You'd be in a bad mood too if you worked for an As*hole like you. He looked at me, shocked and then said , you know I should fire you for that...I replied: Fire me then.....We stood there glaring at each other for a moment then he said....go back to work.. and that was the end of it. I guess you have to know how far you can push the envelope with your boss.

There have been so many.....\nAt one former job, walking in on my then-boss. It was lunch time (I was working through lunch catching up on paperwork) and I thought he went out for the whole hour. He did go out but only for a few minutes and I didn't see him come back in. In his office (door closed) he changed into a lace teddy and was just putting his uniform back on when I walked in with papers to put on his desk. I blinked and still held onto the papers but when he asked me if I liked his teddy I couldn't find my voice. Then he told me we were all alone in the section, and that he'd always wanted to lick my toes. I got the desk in between him and me and finally when he lunged at me I stapled him, threw the papers at him and left the office. I didn't go into his office again for anything. It was my first job and I never worked for the military again. He was a Major, known by my friends after this as Major Pervert.\nThere are other things I've caught people doing, but none that took my breath away quite like seeing someone built like John Goodman (only uglier) in a satin teddy and combat boots!

Yes, I have had many lousy jobs. I no longer put up with it, I leave and go elsewhere.

Not if you are looking for a worse job than the one you have now! Otherwise, it is in bad taste.

i bet everyone likes some part of their job, but dislikes another part, especially if the job changed after they took it.\nit's only when the dislike outweighs the liking bit that folk make extra efforts to change to another job, and then the cycle starts again.

No. \n\nThe long answer...\nNothing was available in my area of study when I finished school so I took the job that paid relatively well.\nIt's a physical job with little mental activity which leads to pains and boredom.\nIt's a lousy environment which compounds the resentment built up over the years... now there's a feeling of being trapped with old skills.\nConstantly tackling being grateful for the employment and being disappointed with each work day. I really shouldn't complain.\nI know it's up to me to change the situation but it's terribly difficult to leave the security of a steady income.\nI guess that's why vacations are so sweet and hobbies are important.

I am a social worker and I hate people.  My next job will have no people in it.  Widgets here I come.  Seriously, it can be exasperating and stressful and it seems the rewards are fewer and far between.

Ultramar. They are the worst as they make you work alone, as a dog for minimum wage. \n\nI used to work for them and my manager was the worst as she had no education and talks to us as we are an old piece of meat. No language respect, no nothing. I'm 16 and I hated working there.

Yes, I don't right now but I have had in the past.  She was always right and when she made a mistake it was always because someone else had given her the wrong information or she would just outright lie and blame it on someone else.  She talked about everyone and tried to make everyone feel inferior to her.  I hated it at that job.  Thank God I'm not there anymore and I would dare to say I hated it the most because of her.

I know it sucks, but try to make youself stay until you find something else. It is easier to find a job when you already have one. Employers see that you have a job so they know you are responsible and just wanting to improve yourself by learning a new job and moving up.I hate my job too. If I let it, it really makes me miserable. While you are still at the bad job focus on doing things outside of work that make you happy.\n Good Luck.

I actually used to like the new job I have.  The pay sucks and no benefits but the work was pleasant enough and the coworkers nice.  HOwever I have a manager from Hell and everyone hates her and alot of them are quitting.   I dread the days I have to work with her as it only takes a few minutes for her to make me look stupid.  I am relatively new and always ask  before I take on a project that I am usure of and it seems to tick her off.  So I know what you mean.   Before I used to work for a discount department store and I hated working every weekend.

I always hated them.  One year we all took a dinner cruise.  4 hours trapped on a boat. Ugggh!\n\nThe only time I ever really enjoyed myself was the year they closed the office at noon and took everybody bowling.  Nobody had to get dressed up, no spouses being uncomfortable around a bunch of people they don't know, plus they ordered a bunch of pizzas so nobody really had to mind their table manners.  They gave prizes for the lowest score, highest score, most improved, oddest delivery, etc.  Everybody had fun, nobody got drunk and said things they shouldn't and then needed a cab to get home.\n\nOther years I always went expecting to have a good time, but ended up just enjoying a nice meal and then wondering if it was too early to bolt.\n\nYou could always go for the dinner and enjoy the fact that your company is providing it for you.  We always had door prizes at ours.  One year I got a gift certificate to a really nice store that I would otherwise not have been able to shop at.

Not mine, but a friend had a horrible boss who made her type out all the letters telling some other employee's they were being made redundant. At 5 minutes before home time he came into the office and said to her 'oh by the way, you need to add your name to that list bcz we're getting rid of you too'...
