10 Things You Don't Like About Your Job

First, let me say that I was happy to see that next week's 10 Things is a balance to this week's. Because I am a 'glass is half full' kind of gal, and because I believe there is duality in everything, I was going to add disclaimers to most of this list. But the other side of the story will be next week, so I won't worry about that now.

We have to peg in and out, and account for all our time.

The building we work in has ventilation problems or mold problems or both, a lot of us have allergy problems only at work.

There's no free parking.

The team I'm on doesn't get along great as a team. We get along ok individually (and one person on my team is a great friend) for the most part, but not as a team.

The work I have to do every day varies, some days it takes all day, other days just a few hours.

The cube walls are paper thin. We can hear every phone call, nose blow (and other body noises), radio, fan, and conversation of our closest cube neighbors.

The managers are not taught how to be good managers.

There is no cafeteria in our building, and not so great snack machines, either.

There is a small group of middle school gossips that even tho I luckily don't have to work too closely with them, they tend to infect the rest of us with their gossip.

And the number one thing I don't like about my job: It's not creative!
