Yes, I'm glad to have a paycheck, but the stress, frustration and depression associated with hating the job I'm in is awful. It's misery.

We simply want to come to work, have a clearly defined task, perform said task without any hassle, collect our paychecks, and go back to our lives. Our achievement, power, and affiliation needs and wants are zero, but we're being managed by ambitious fast trackers who can't fathom that someone may only be at work to provide for their families and would like to otherwise be left alone.

I'm a "temporary contract-based" employee working pretty much full time with no benefits or healthcare, yet during the interview was told they were looking for someone to stay in the position for at least two years. oh the irony. many months into it now, more responsibilities and training on tasks not originally in the job description, working in a place where people shit talk about each other behind their backs, a drab and uninspiring environment, oh yes, but I should be thankful I have a job. if I don't shoot myself first. “..still havent figured out that a satisfied employee is a more productive employee-or that we might spend more time doing for them instead of visiting sites like these…” DITTO.

Sure I have a paycheck, but how can I be pleased when I'm bored out of my mind every day and wake up thinking "God I don't want to go to work today" and ten minutes in the door I'm thinking "God I don't want to go to work tomorrow"? I graduated Suma Cum Laude (as in best of the best) with departmental honors in both of my majors and I can't find a better job than this--not even an entry level job in my field. So I hate it. And then there are those people that come in and look at me and speak to me as if I'm an idiot and don't even know how to do the job I'm doing. So I hate it more and want to bash them all over the head. Jail time is really not going to improve my situation, but it still takes too much effort to restrain myself. So I hate it. I'm depressed as all get out and I have no one to talk to about it because my family is too worried about my sister's diagnoses (breast cancer, she's 27 and has no risk factors, no genetic factors either) and I can't put them though more he** and I don't have any money to talk to a doctor about it because whatever isn't going towards loans and rent is going to gas and food and wouldn't be enough anyway. I'm only getting about $70 a month after loans and rent and even though my car gets pretty good gas mileage for a rust bucket with an engine that sounds and feels like its going to fall out on a rainy day (most rainy summer ever by the way) once I pay for gas I only have $10-$20 for food that month. Which means I save nothing. I think half the time I'm paying for food with the money I've been trying to save since I started getting $5 bills for my birthday at 12. So I should be thankful that I'm getting any money at all, eh? Last time I checked money doesn't help if you're dead and that's the way I'm headed. Self-desruct sequence has been activated and I don't know how to stop it other than hate my job and hope I can control myself and remind myself that suicide isn't going to help the situation. It's just going to hurt people. Logic. Still I'm left with the ultimatum--money and absolute rock bottom depression or debt over my ears and less rock bottom depression. Tough choice. And so I hate it. So nothing is one of the worst things to do? What else can I do? That’s about how I feel.

Why should I feel grateful for having a choice between unemployment and a job that makes me sick to my stomach? Yes, thank you.

That's a DIFFERENT POINT isn't it you IDIOTS. They are not saying they are not thankful they HAVE a job, it's that they are possibly feeling crushed about how boring or meaningless it is.
