Oh how I hate it here...Vent ahead

Don't know if it's my hormones or what...but I seriously hate my job now. Everything about it...it annoys me...not so much what I'm qualified in...but where I work (the place). I literally drag myself out of bed every morning just to come here...and be annoyed on a daily basis by people who think they know what my job entails and that whatever they request...they "need" it pronto. I'm a business analyst...2 years in my current company...they are literally clueless of what a business analyst is supposed to be doing...so they have their own pre-conceived ideas of what this whole role is about...to them...I'm simply a document writer....I did not go to school and become qualified so that I can write what others tell me what to write...

I have no joy when it comes to my job. And it's coming out now more during my pregnancy...before I could handle it...but now it drives me insane...there are months that passes by and I have done literally nothing...but play with my thumbs at work...if it weren't for the paid maternity leave (4 months) I would have resigned a long time ago...or looked for another job...unfortunately moving in my "condition" most companies won't pay for the maternity leave...which I cannot afford...since I have loans to pay, a bond to take care off and a toddler to take care off as well.

But I am miserable...and I try...Lord knows I try...to be positive...but I'm just down and out. I'm more at peace when I'm sleeping...than when I'm awake.

How I wish my hubby was rich...or had a job that can fend for the entire family...I swear...I would resign with immediate effect.

Gonna try speak to my boss and see if things will change...but I highly doubt it...

It really sucks waking up in the morning....just to come to work and play with ones thumbs or all you do is play with the Internet....it really does suck. I do hope the chat I'm going to have with my boss will help...if that fails...I'm going to the big boss...and seriously if that one fails...I am looking for a new job (that will be my goal for 2015).

Comment from Fitbyjordan » Posted Nov. 12, 2014 7:41am Ladysg, I am right there with you. I love my company but do not like the position I am in so it makes it very hard to get out of bed and come to work each day. I am also an analyst but unlike you, I am not cut out to be one, I was promoted to this position and I regret taking it now. No one gives me work so I sit here playing on pregnancy websites 24/7. If my husband made more money I would quit and be a stay at home mom but I have a 5 year old and a baby on the way, it isn't possible right now. Our benefits here are really great and the hours are "rules" are really laid back... so I would be crazy to get another job but I am just so miserable in the position I am in. Also at this company you have to wait 1 whole year before changing positions... that is coming up in December. I am so ready to talk to my boss and hopefully make a great big change! Good luck to you! I hope and pray that it will get better after talking to your boss... the extra stress is not good on ya!
