I am jobless at the moment so I don't really know what is worse between having a shitty job and not having one, but I can imagine what you mean.

Anyway, thank you very much for the giveaway, I am in for Planescape: Torment.

Now that there is a heartfelt giveaway! Please count me in for Hostile Waters: I have the others, and better someone should get a game they don't have than I should pick up something to gift.

I have five bosses, but I only deal with three on a regular basis, and two of them are pretty easygoing. On the other hand, I deal with Clueless Users, which can be trying from time to time. And man am I underpaid.

Thanks for the giveaway, and +1 rep.

Thanks!

Briareos262: Dracula 4: Shadow Of The Dragon - I feel as though my life blood and soul is drained every day I'm there.

phandom: Count me in for Dracula.

Don't worry Briareos262. Every job is only for as long as you don't find a better one. (me, 7 jobs in 10 years)
Until you find something you really like doing. Then you will have no reason to look for a better one.

Actually in my current job my collegues are good people. It's the bosses that make it like hell (and I only have 2, I can't imagine what's like with 6 of them). I just feel my creativity being strangled and I'm forced to do the most boring and repetitive things they can come up with. The irony is that I started my current job being extremelly creative and productive.

Funny thing is my boss was awarded a management prize yesterday. No, he did not thank his stuff, absolutely no bonus for the people who actually do the work, not even a couple of days extra leave as a sign of appreciation......

BTW I also loved ''Apple seed''.
entry accepted. Good luck to you as well. There are bosses like that in almost any job. Certain bosses at my job get bonuses. The underlings get nothing. That's just how it is at most places. When you get to a certain point in your life and fed up of everything, I'm sure you will find something better as well.

Nice one. I'd like to be in for Dracula 4.

My job is a boring grind, same s**t day in and day out, pay is maxed out, there's no other position to strive for, I don't get vacation; it is, quite simply, a paycheck. It's unfortunate that "work" has become, for many, slaving away being miserable simply to pay bills. That said, until I find something better, I do my best to make my life outside of work as enjoyable as possible.

To others thanks for all the support and yes I'm trying to get some things going so I can move on so I can hopefully get healthier and be off anxiety meds. Also the pay rate is bad too so yeah alot of reason why I need to leave.

I'm not sure if I can work in a place with exceedingly beautiful women, my mind does races then. But then again that will instantly make working there 10x better.

A job where your coworker became a good friend can help make it better. (this is hard in some jobs, as either none of your coworkers have same interests, or you work alone in a room)

ps. if you do get another job, i hope you like it and enjoy it more then previous job.

I hear you.
In for Dracula 4.
Thanks, +1.
Posted April 11, 2014
Been there.... wait actually I'm still there. damn
I actually learned to roll with it by doing just enough during the office time, and decided that if they don't like it they can bite me...

There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully for them means that a train is coming in the opposite direction

I'm in for I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream or Planescape: Torment, whichever you like

+1
Thanks!

I hear ya, I am in a similar situation, except that I may have just found another pay job (with lower pay though)

I'm in for "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream".
Posted April 11, 2014
Not in. +1 Briareos

I report directly to one person but have to deal with multiple stakeholders who all have different expectations/vision. I'm glad I've already planned my escape :) plus the pay isn't bad.
Posted April 11, 2014
Not in, but +1 for your generosity. Hope you find a better situation.
Posted April 11, 2014
Tempted - very tempted by one of those games on offer, but I will decline.

I do (for a good majority of the time) hate my job - were it not for the fact I'm okay to drink on the job - and my hours are kinda flexible. But the pay is shit, the people are shit and turning up to work is shit.

My boss is a total cunt of course, and my clients are predominantly idiots who I have to spend (unpaid time) educating on he most basic of things relevant to any project.

...Of course, I'm self employed in digital arts, graphics and work freelance. Consider yourself lucky you have someone else to blame! ;)
Posted April 11, 2014
not in but +! hope you get the situation work out oh and at least you didnt have to serve by his wife for off duty job like my ex boss. (no and not that kind of job ;p)
