Hate my job!! (a little rant)

[QUOTE=moosmom]Pitc,

There are politics all over the workplace, even where I'm temping now. I know it's difficult when you realize that someone who has been there less time than you is making more money. But you've gotta just let it go. If it bothers you that much, find another job that does pay more.

Exactly, life is too short to be miserable!

Finding out that someone else makes more for less work really sours
your attitude on the job doesn't it. It is a sad fact of life now, but
most decent paying jobs require a college degree, or at least an associate
degree in business courses or tech courses.Could you possible to take some
classes before or after your regular job? Good luck.

Everything with my company is top secret. No one knows about a position opening untill they've already filled it!! Hell, I just found out yesterday that it's someone's last day on Friday. They gave there two weeks notice 2 weeks ago and I didn't know a thing about it! Everyone keeps to themselves, and is in their own world.
A co-worked of mine was murdered back in Feb, and she was our office mananger and she did EVERYTHING!!!!
It's taken 2 people to take her place and just today learned that they need to hire someone else. (we've found out the hard way that my late co-worker was not doing everything she was supposed to be doing so it's going to take a few people for sure to do all the work she was supposed to be doing)
I have ZERO self confidence, I've been batteling depression for months... my marriage is a joke and now this.... I'm just sick of fighting the world!
Thank goD I have Sierra & Buddy to keep me together!
Lizbud-I'll have to look into local night classes and see what kind of classes I could take to better myself.
Moosmom-Find another job.... yeah I guess it's about that time! Ya see... since I got out of High School (1993)I've landed good jobs, stayed with them for 3-4 years, then found another job. And I've been here 4 years this Saturday!
Ginger's Mom-Ugh... I wish I could enjoy a long weekend but I have to work this Saturday You're right, I need to wake my boss up and make him realize that I do a Hell of a lot more work that I get paid for, people doing less than me are making $13-$16 per hour and I'm only getting $11.90 per hour.

Thank you all for responding!

We have to spend way too much time at work as it is but to be miserable there too is such a slap in the face. It's a shame we have to spend so much time with our co-workers also. Especially when you watch some of them, day after day, do little or nothing to contribute to the team. Finding out that they make more money than you do can really do a number on you. It's awful to have to go through this when you make it to work every day, work yourself to death, rarely complain, do everything you're supposed to, etc. etc. Life is definitely too short to put yourself through such pain and suffering. Start looking right away for something different. No wonder you're depressed and lack self confidence. That job is destroying you. Don't be afraid to change. It will all work out for the better I hope.
