Top 10 Things That SUCK About Being A 9 to 5'er
10. Rush Hour - ever dread the hour long morning commute, or the 'mean muggin' on public transportation because that middle-aged guy didn't get enough doses of caffiene or they're toasted from the night before having being self- medicated to drown out the fact that the next morning the same routine begins all over again.
Giving the guy who cut you off 'the finger' was about the only exercise you get all day before plopping down in your chair, signing your life away for a check.
9. Having More Than One "Boss" -- ...because EVERYBODY enjoys being reprimanded by the same asshat over n' over again for the smallest mistakes because they themselves are bored to tears and need a little excitement to spice up their otherwise mundane work day.
8. The 9 to 5 Myth -- whoever came up with the concept with the concept of '9 to 5' are lying through their teeth!
...try 8:30 to 6:30 if you're lucky, NOT including rush hour traffic both ways. There's always the project that needs to be done last minute or an important mandatory meeting in the wee hours of the morning.
Bullshit.
7. The Ass Kissing Game -- How much butt you kiss on a regular basis determines how far you go up the corporate ladder.
Of course, the higher up that ladder you are, the more you stand to lose and the higher your chances you fall.
6. Making Too Much Money -- sounds contradictory, but think about it.
If you're living on a single income that pays most of your expenses, you're now "trapped" in that job because odds are your living expenses are matched nearly dollar for dollar to what you earn weekly.
The prospect of leaving this job doesn't occur to you in spite of the soul sucking experience of giving 40+ hours of your life away for nothing in the end but a shiny fake gold watch, a pat on the back, MAYBE a going away party if you're liked by the higher-ups and a retirement package if you were one the lucky few who didn't get screwed out of your compensation plan.
You long for the day you can escape, but their are consequences if you leave it all behind to pursue your passion full force, no regrets.
5. Time Suck -- I've had jobs where I got so good at it, there was no reason whatsoever to stick around for the duration of my time.
There would be an extra 4hrs or more of downtime. I would either be told to FIND something to do or be fired for unproductiveness, or sent home too early without being paid the hours of my scheduled time causing me to suffer financially.
It actually PAYS to be willfully incompetent because and strive NOT to be the best at what you do. You won't get paid extra for it and there is absolutely NO benefit to being the best because everyone else will put their load on your shoulders and give you more responsibility without any extra money to reflect the extra value brought to the table.
So there you have it. Those are my five. I know I said "10", but I want to know what YOUR 5 reasons are to add to my count to make it a final and official "10".
