Reasons why work sucks the donkey dick.

reason 1:
you've been learning a software for 2 fucking years and still dont know jack shit.

Reason 2:
peer review and adequate expertise and training doesn't exist.

Feel free to add your reasons.

3, The company has a policy of moving the most inept employees into management positions.

4, Your mouth-breathing HR department is so underworked, all they can do is come up with new policies to implement (including, my personal favourite, that you can't smoke on the footpath outside the building, which all smokers flout with multiple-daily regularity) (note on this; we don't have the whole building anyway, so all the smokers from the other floors would still smoke outside even if our smokers adhered to the "rules")

5. Your boss sets you up to fail constantly.
6. Your computer runs under the required minium hardware spec

7, Head office get sold on an ERP software system which is of very little use to your organisation, but they love the reporting system. They then spend millions rolling out this software even though all countries still have to run their old systems (which is what the new one was meant to avoid). Good times.

5. You do everything but aren't given credit (pay, verbal recognition). And because you aren't allowed the credit, you have to teach other people to do it, so that they can get the credit, even though you are the least experienced.

6. Parents seem to have more say than teachers on what is best for the child and the class. Special needs parents are so one eyed, everything has to be for their child and the teacher has to stop everything to help their child (ie. chase them around the school when they run outside, hold them down when they hit etc)

Luckily I love every other aspect!

Your computer is one of the original macs, the coloured ones. That even internet explorer, firefox wont run on. So all the website, resources, pdf's you get sent, need to look at wont open. Yet the expectation to maintain a website for the class is there, as is reporting processes!

The vehicle they give you to drive, and take home each night... is not the latest model... its at least a year old now. AND the 80 odd thousand km's its done (by you) means its almost wornout...

12. Your're working at 8pm on a sunday because your boss has poor time management skills
