    Job Rant Thread

    I fucking hate building departments

    I fucking hate Project Mangers that don't know how fucking buildings go together.

    I fucking hate Consultants that say they are going to get shit to me at a certain time and then don't do it.

    I fucking hate Contractors that keep bugging me about the same shit I've already explained to them.

    I fucking hate sitting in this office right now.



    So what do you "fucking hate" ?

    I was going to ask for a raise on Tuesday.

    Today, I received a memo stating that the department is already 60K over budget.

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

    I hate the call that comes 5 minutes before I'm off and takes 2 hours to solve.

    I hate telco lineman who fuck up my wiring because they don't know what it is for!

    I hate the demanding fuckers who call at 5AM and don't understand why I am grouchy.

    I hate work period. I just want to ski.

    Edit to add, I hate most of my co-workers too. Who knew people could be so, fat, smelly, ugly, rude, power hungry, bossy, loud, obnoxious, know it all's. AND they live in a ski state near ski resorts and don't ski, and bitch about how much they hate the snow.

    What is this world coming to?

    I hate the fact that I really like everything about my job except the fact that I get paid absolutely shit. I could be making twice as much anywhere else.

    I hate cocksucking, greedy, ranting, unappreciative independent financial professionals who are never satisfied with the work you do for them.

    I hate bureaucratic insurance companies who don't understand how business works.

    I hate micromanaging, bitchy, uneducated bosses who tell you what to do even though they don't understand the first thing about how to do your job.

    I hate cocksucking, greedy, ranting, unappreciative independent financial professionals who extort older folks on false promises.

    I hate this industry.

    I love that I have two weeks left.

    I hate whiney fucking engineers who don't know shit about how things go together in the real world

    I hate even more those whiney pussbags known as architects who know even less about how things in the real world are constructed

    I especially hate whiney cube jockies who zip over to the site in their little rice grinding POS to yell at me when it is their stupid fucking drawing that won't work in...yep you guessed it: THE REAL WORLD!

    Hey HEY! <---- note those smilies motherforker!

    in reality, what I hate is my computer that has crashed four times today.

    That sums it up pretty well.

    But I will add, having to deal with 15 different public departments each with their own conflicting agenda, who won't budge on little shit so you can get the building done.

    It hasn't happened today, but I hate the ASAP attitude.

    A customer might ask me to provide him with some sort of answer, I ask this question: "Realistically, mr. customer, when do you need this done by"? Mr. Customer answers: "ASAP" every fuckin time. GIVE ME A FRICKIN TIME.

    Rant #2: Product lead time bitching. Things are NEVER done quick enough in the construction industry. Here's a fuckin hint; START EARLIER for fuck sakes.

    I fucking hate that they make me come here every day!

    I fucking hate pushing paper around that never accomplishes anything.

    I don't want to draft your fucking proposed order.

On small stuff, no big deal. But when it's a building height, load changes, things like that, it pisses me off. Often times their response is, "You should have known." Exactly how we would know some of this stuff is beyond me but that's the attitude. Well, if I should've known, they should have too and should have taken the time to let us in on their little secret. It all tends to break down to a construction-karate match.
    that was only partly aimed at the above rants - the shit you mentioned I deal with and it pisses me off.

    Mines more: We've a new "Quality Assurance Manager" who started last Monday who's ranting about planning, saying no to shortened lead times, blah blah blah. Typical QA dipshit stuff. We're a small company in an industry dominated by big overseas firms. Our only advantages are speed and flexibility fucktard! We say no, we go under. Your job is to help us keep those and produce a better product!

    You ever get the bullshit response of "well, that's means and methods?" It's even worse when trying to clear up contradicting spec's.

    Fuck this fucking job.

    That is all.
    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

    I hate when the engineering admin locks the employee entrance 2 minutes before I get there so I have to go around to the front entrance because they are too cheap to buy card reader ID's.

    I hate that the old bastard working next to me can't hear the high pitched whine from his amplifier because his ears don't work that good anymore.

    I hate when he uses the fucking Disney cd to test (ok the jungle book and lion king stuff is OK but the pinocchio song and "Its a small world" blow). And enough with the William Tell Overture also, find something else with a lot of notes in it.

    Yeah, I hate those fuckers too!

    But you see, I am the Construction Manager in this architecture firm that actually knows how shit gets built in the real world, so I have to sit here and fix all the mistakes that the Construction Document team made because they don't understand detailing or how shit actually gets built.

    I am definetly not one of those guys who yells at the guys in the field because you can learn alot from those guys and how shit gets done. Plus, I know our drawing is fucked anyway.

    And yes LB, your smilies are noted!

    I hate co-workers who always have lame-ass excuses for why they can't get their shit done right or on time.

    I fucking hate it when I held the position they are currently in for four years and know they are fucking lying to cover their laziness!

    A few of them probably fucking hate me for calling them on their bullshit.

    I'm in no way a racist or a bigot. I hate everyone equally. However, I fucking hate how Europeans, Asians, Mormons, and most youth groups don't fucking tip. Fuck you, tipping may not be the norm where you're from, but you're not there anymore. You're here. Here, we tip people when they spend eight fucking hours babysitting us and making sure that we don't die while we're rappelling off a fucking giant arch. I think we should change the custom and make it so people tip right at the beginning (this goes for restaurants/cabs/etc. as well). That way a shitty tip equals shitty service. A good tip gets you some extra service. Everythings in the open and everyone knows what to expect. Oh well, at least I don't work in a fucking cube. I hate those even more.
