When work is hell

A 19-year-old flight attendant, angry at his job, was arrested in Minneapolis for setting a fire in an aeroplane bathroom. It might seem a bit extreme, but how many of us haven’t felt like choking our bosses at some point? Or felt that urge to throw in your resignation letter and go for a vacation (which, consequently you won’t be able to afford).

Just Google “I hate my job” and the search throws up 62,40,000 matches. A BBC survey of the top 10 most hated professions throws up surprising results.

If you thought the most hated profession would be that of a Proctologist – its not. Number One on the list was being a traffic warden.

Flapping your arms the entire day must be tough. Also on the list were politicians (I though we hated their profession, not them) and Reality TV show contestants – you’d hate it too if you were stuck in a house full of people like the cast of Big Boss.

What’s wrong with work? So what is it about a job, that makes people hate it even if it seems like a dream come true to those on the outside? Sanya, who works with a news channel says, “News readers have to sit glued to their seats an hour before the show starts. And as soon as the bulletin ends, everyone rushes to the bathroom.

I have to wait in a long line even to take a leak.” For others, work only gets worse with time and even making truckloads of money is not ample compensation.

Raj, who recently resigned from the post of a Sales Process Manager with a multinational company, says, “In this sales figure driven world, the individual and his or her demands are completely ignored.” Prateek, an engineer, says, “Hectic work schedules leave no time for a personal life.

I also hate the fact that I’m stuck in a cubicle instead of doing field jobs that I love.” For Rakesh Jha, an IT person, his is the worst job in the world.

“All you get is complaints – this doesn’t work, that doesn’t work. My whole day is marked with cribbing, frustrated people.

” Sounds familiar? But, no matter what the grouch, the sad truth is, we’re all heading to work tomorrow.
