Oh, where do I begin. For starters, I work for a family owned opperation. The owner is at retirement age and insists on still walking around micromanaging everyone. HIs sons seemingly have NO DIRECTION and are content in doing what they do. There are two divisions to this company, the retail side and the events side. The sons are more interested in the events side. The retail side is suffering, yet nobody wants to make use of the contacts we've made in the media for marketing purposes. The President (son #1) won't pursue large corporations for partnerships...he waits for them to contact him. but this company isn't a household name.
I'm one of two people who are paid to do creative related stutt. Yet, we're reduced to doing shit work. We should be in an office together conspiring on what the next step would be...but instead, I have to sit in the events department (assumingly so the president can call me to his office and not have to wait.)
I'm stunted as a designer here.. I have no creative growth. This place, I truly do not like.
I smell contract/freelance work in my future.

that really blows.
can you tell them you have very contagious flu (that you've already made your roommates/friends/bf/gf/family/w... sick) and if you are afraid you might get your boss sick too?
(then make sure to cough right in his face)

I love mine.
I just crawled on all fours into an attorney's office while his back was to me, got halfway under his desk and put a pair of handcuffs around both ankles!

I hate my job too....
I work for a company that their idea of "design" is how big you make the word SALE!
Every time I ask to purchase a stock photo or want to hire a professional photographer they ask..." Don't we have a digital camera?"
The icing on the cake was last week when a project HAD to go out and I worked my ass off and stayed late to finish and upload the project to our printer.
First thing the next day the PM had a change to the file the he had approved.
Now I know things change and changes have to be done but the thing that pissed me off is this. He emailed the changes to me at 9 a.m. And at 9:15 he called to see "how's it going". At 9:30 he called again to see "where I'm at". That's when I asked him if he wanted to do the changes himself! It was a change to a 250MB psd file.
The guy hung up the phone and charged across the office at me. I thought I was going to have to deck him! He yelled at me and accused me of "dragging my feet" and that the deadline was last night!
I then yelled back that he was the one that made changes after it was approved and that I will be so glad when I don't have to put with his shit!
( I recently passed up a promotion to make a lateral move so I wouldn't have to work with him again.)Thanks for letting me vent!

No matter what working for someone else just sucks.

i am brainwashed.
i am on 4-year salary freeze (the entire company is) and i no longer question the insanity of having worked here for so long. likewise, i have given up on asking my boss for more money.

i feel your pain - they feel like they can do whatever they want - fuck 'em - in return, just hoard what u can, take advantage of everything; take home all apps and programs that they buy, dump them on your home machine - take papers, pens, anything u can get your hands on- in short, make the most of what u r provided with, then move on.
