So pissed off with work

[Tupps]

Right,

I've been working as a Design Co-Ordinator for over 2 year at the same company.... Completed my NVQ in business management and done several other crap things like CSCS and health and safety garbage

Programme i use is called "Solidworks" and it's pretty rare to find companys that use it - especially as im only 21 and most design places like bags of experience

I know im underpaid here and really want a new job as its such a small company i really can't see myself getting on big money for some time (although we make millions a year the directors reep the rewards and pay the people who do the work peanuts!!)

I think i've had enough of working in an office but maybe that's just this place making me feel that way, i wouldn't mind a more hands on job or look into something like the Fire Brigade

Do i...

A) Grin and bear it, speak to my directors about my place here and see where they want me to be in a few year

B) Look for another job that uses solidworks

C) Piss off right this second and look for a factory job thats better paid untill i find a decent job / look into brigade

D) Go insane, smash the office up and then carry out option C)

Help before i burst into flames!

I rekon answer 'A' and 'B' are the best bet buddy....

if they value you as an employee then they will see that you are getting fed up if you go to talk to them...

EDIT - following on from the above.....

and would possibly give you a pay rise....or something as such...

[leeroybrown]

I prefer

D) Go insane, smash the office up and then carry out option

Go speak to boss and see what they say

[Tupps]

My director's are c*nts though, really don't appreciate their staff at all!

id carry out 'A' and 'B'....then you always got a back up plan if they dont listen to what you say etc....

[Tupps]

E) Speak to my mates dad who is one of the top boyo's at a local electrolux factory and see how fast he can get me a job, hand my notice in here, punch boss in face, work in factory and speak to brigade

do all options....

if ya mates dad can get you a job fairly quickly...then you might aswell go for that...seeing as your fed up of working where you are...

[Japman]

D)

advise boss if he doesnt give you pay rise the ,sax-p army will be poping around for a demantling session,

[endlesstimes]

grab your boss by the throat and hold a blade to his face im sure you will get a pay rise that way :) jokes, seriously though mate if your not happy in your job have a word with your manager/director and explain that you need more money and like you say ask him/her where he wants you to be in a couple of years time within the company or you tell them where you would like to be in that time? and then say that if he cant offer you a substancial pay increase then you may have to leave the company...

F) Take a turd in a plastic bag, put it in the freezer overnight.. Put in in your bossed drawer the next morning... let it thaw out.

THEN Carry out D)

talking from experience...or were you a victim in this case? :P

[Hanuman]

no offence but dont hold out for joining the fire brigade its near imposs to get in, i applied in the midlands got a letter saying didnt pass the first bit which is about 100 pages of written principles which i did clearly great on. my letter was like number 4k out of 10k that applied of which id imagine about 10 would be accepted tops lol crazy

[endlesstimes]

talking from experience...or were you a victim in this case? :P

LMAO!!!

[djshongo]

I was young and i needed the money lol

:)

[Tupps]

Ok not the brigade.... just any job will do tbh!

Need to do something asap before i get so mad i smash this place up

[AdamW]

Tupps I could see you working in a factory.....making sure plugs are wired properly.....do it....best job ever

[Tupps]

I'd actually prefer that job over mine at the minute!

[AdamW]

I know how you feel......sitting infront of a computer all day is seriously depressing.....

Been taking razor blades to the toilet cubicles recently.......not got the bottle

[Hanuman]

Ok not the brigade.... just any job will do tbh!

Need to do something asap before i get so mad i smash this place up

just like leckie did.... he warned us he was going to go mental, looks like he has... i aint seen him post today i rekon hes locked up or been shot dead by the terrorist team

[AdamW]

Leckie joined the travelling circus......

[123xlee]

Why don`t you apply to be a retained firefighter that way you get the best of both worlds, and I think it is a bit easier to get into than full service

[Tupps]

Retainer's is an option but as im sure you can appreciate i'd need a "normal" income and a permanent job

Mate's dad just emailed saying he could get me on the assembly work no bother but they're always temp work

[KayMarie]

Honesty is the best policy I reckon, make an appointment, tell them you feel undervalued and overworked and that you are contemplating leaving unless there are some job prospects to look to in the future....

Tell them you dread coming in to work and feel you're not getting ANY job stisfaction, not even in the salary department ;)

Good Luck!

[Peejous]

If you join the fire service i officially HATE you!

It's really hard to get in, I apply every year and they still wont let me in. Probably because im just too sexy and they dont want me hurting my perfect body or face. Or maybe its because i cant see 100%. I personally think its the first option.

Im in the same situation as you mate, hate my job, bored to fcuk, want a more hands on job, but the difference is my money is quite good so i stay just for the hell of it.

If you do get in the fire service, give me some tips please. Ill be your friend :y:

[Tupps]

Cheers kay,

I just wind myself up sittin here all day and just want to throw the towel in with this place

[KayMarie]

Thats exactly what you shoudl be saying to them in the meeting, if they value you and your skills, as an employer they should do somethign about the way you feel, if they don't, should you be working with them in the first place?

:)

[laura_g]

its best if you look for a new job, if you are unhappy then you shouldnt stick it out if it gets you down

[Scattle]

agrre tbh^^^ if it's that bad.

[Tupps]

Now on my 3rd mouse in the space of 2 weeks

This place will feel the wrath big time soon!

[Japman]

pure strengh

[Clouds_mate]

Mate im doing the job of 4 people today. Emails, back ups, que monitoring, server monitoring and any work that falls in between.

Also gota do the same again tomora.

The whole IT infrastructure for 43 hospitals/clinics rests on my shoulders alone.

Too much presure for a 21 year old lol

*sqwwwweeeeeeezeeerrss mouse really hard*

[VTR_Nick]

Option D lol

On a series note choose option A and if they don't give you the answer your after go to option B if that fails stay in the job and look at the fire brigade rather than factory work and look into fire brigade.

hope that made atleast some sence lol

You going to do a silly american emo student type thing and come into work with a couple of hand guns and wild west the place before putting through your temple?

[Modified]

the clever answer is A/B

but the fun answer is D!!!!

[Cal]

Know how you feel Tuppence, I'm in the CAD business too. I'm constantly battling to make 'old know it all bastards' shit ideas look good. And then cop the blame when no fucker likes it.

Worked in a builders merchant as a teenager cutting wood for orders using the big machines etc, was knackering but I miss it now...

[bullit]

see whats out there first. then tell your boss i want rise or im walking basically, if he says no, then go to new job

[ShaneVtr]

grab your boss by the throat and hold a blade to his face im sure you will get a pay rise that way :)..

Like in Fight club beat yourself up in his office, cover his hands in your blood and freak him out then get whatever you want via blackmail for not telling the police :y:

[callum_tompkins]

fire service wont take you on till your about 24/25, best bet is join the RAF as a fireman for a couple years then apply to be a fireman, almost guaranteed entry ! !
