being a college student in a weak job market my choices are limited to finding a job that can feed the truck and cover the bills, my job use to be great but at this point i get more anger then joy out of going to work, being treated like shit and yelled at like i'm a lesser being has made me resent management...being expected to work full bore all day in the heat or cold, for 9-12 hour days otherwise face punishment really brings a large amount of dread...man i go to work to work, i diden't sign up to be just short of working on a confederate plantation..anybody else hate their job?

There are days I hate mine. In the end, in this economy, I am glad to have one though. There is always someone who has it rougher. I try to keep that in my thoughts, even on the bad days.

Just the opposite. I love my job, just haven't had a lot of opportunities to do it lately....

 

Well that is for my full time job. The Part Time Job I have I hate, the company is freakin cheap and the management focuses on a lot of petty bullshit that really doesn't matter at the end of the day. But what are you going to do, gotta take whatever work you can get right now....

i consider there to be a fine line between work/job vs agony/hate...if the work itself sucks and the people you work for suck, then what motivation is there ?

I can honestly say that I love my job. I run a site of over 500 employees, so I am part of the management that everyone hates, I guess. I do have Sunday football parties at work and try to have some fun, so not all of management is bad. I remember that I was once out on the main floor and I consider the employees that do that work as the most important people in the organization. Simple enough. I'm sorry that some of you have some crappy bosses.

I love my job its very diverse, I'm a longshoreman, and also a millwright.

 

I feel sorry for people who hate thier jobs, you should always do something you like, although I realize this may not be an option for some.

I hate my job!! The people suck!! It doesn't pay the bills!! Theres no health insurance for the family!!

 

Life is not so GOOD.

 

I've never collected unemployment and I've worked all my life. Went in the Marines at 17.

 

Now I'm 50 and barely hanging on. My family needs more than I can provide.

 

Is there any way I can get out of this situation. The only thing I can think of is to quit

and start looking for another job. I need some income though. Thats where the unemployment

thing comes in. If I quit am I screwed??

 

I know..find another job first..well...this one sucks so much it may not be an option.

 

Why am I posting this here... :fume:

Good luck to ya ^. Ya most days I hate my job. Have had jobs in the past that I liked. I've been a GM Technician now for almost 8 years. I like turning wrenches, but mostly hate where I work. The people I work with make it that way. But that is almost everywhere. I am thankful to have a job and try to remember it can always be worse.

I hate my job and probably 50% of the people I work with.

 

:cool:

 

I've just managed to compartmentalize those 8 hours a day, and when I walk out the door, I data dump the whole business and don't think about it.

 

I'm funny about paychecks. Mine are fairly nice (especially for Oklahoma), I like getting them...So I'll keep showing up.

I am a science teacher, and I just moved to a new city, and obviously to a new school. The school I am now in is run by the most incompetent idiots I have ever seen. Talk about a waste of tax payers money, and an injustice to these kids. As a teacher, I have to finish my contract until the end of the school year before I can move on. Granted, I came here with a top notch evaluations and "teacher of the year" award. It was a sad day when I realized I hated my job. I have since decided to give it all I've got , keep doing my thing, and don't let these idiots affect me so much. I can only change things that are under my control. I can only pray that these kids do okay in life with the mediocre education being provided to them. If you are having a hard time at your job, start setting yourself up for change, and when the opportunity comes along, you will be ready to make the chance. And don't forget to talk to the big guy (God) once in a while.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Texas Gasser · Posted

      My truck is a 2024 2500 LT crew cab with the 6.6 gas engine and 10 speed trans.  It has a payload of 3578 lbs.  We pull a 22' Grand Design 17MKE that has dry weight of 5006 lbs. and a gross weight of 6395 lbs.  The trailer weighs about 5800 lbs. when loaded up with all the gear.  I don't fill the water tank for travel as most of our trips are to state parks that are within a day's drive.  Depending on the wind I get anywhere from 7.5 to 9 mpg.  I do use a weight distribution hitch (WDH) and have no problems with sway or being pulled/pushed side to side by 18-wheelers passing by me.  The trailer is about the same length of the truck so that helps a lot.  I say that because we traded in our 33' Grand Design 2670 MK (7800 lbs. loaded with gear) and using the same WDH, it would get pulled side to side by big trucks passing by me. It was not bad, but you needed to stay alert and know when a big truck was pulling up beside you.  I got about 7 to 8 mpg pulling that trailer.  I normally drive about 65 to 67 mph when pulling.  Overall, I love the payload capability of the truck as I doubt I will ever get close to its limit and I love the stability it offers over a half ton truck while pulling a trailer.  I have just over 30000 miles on the truck and have not had any issues.  We live in Texas where it is relatively flat, just windy.

      I will say though that the 5.00 a gallon for only one fuel stop while on the Number 1, that privilege of driving from the point of Paso Robles ( where I fueled up before crossing to the coast ) and all the way up ... across the Golden Gate where I stopped and walked on the bridge ( and someone jumped off the bridge opposite the side I was on ... never saw it happen but the tow truck/paramedic told me ) and continued on north back onto No 1 and all the way up to where it connects to 101 and also explored some of the Red Woods although had been through some of that before. The fantastic view of that scenic ocean route was most certainly worth the extra dollars I spent on fuel. Just prior to that I had driven through Death Valley and that was some experience in the middle of July, then spent a couple of days in Yosemite and hiked to the top of Half Dome. The summer of 2007 was very memorable for what I saw and experienced in California.

      Really depends on what extent the towing is.  Are you going across the country on highways or to fairly local campgrounds?  If you're just local towing then I wouldn't derate your truck much, just make sure the weight of your trailer and equipment stays below your limit.  Which for my truck is 14500lbs bumper pull.  Yeah it will work hard when you're over 5 figures in weight but who cares if it is just say 50 miles.    In my opinion the main thing with towing campers is wind resistance.  My 3200lb single axle camper tows fairly hard for what it is due to the wind.  But then if I use my truck to tow a family members 8000lb camper it doesn't really feel any different as wind resistance is similar. I've also towed a 5000lb airstream and it barely felt like anything was there.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think the excitement has run its course. Or, probably need a break from the truck for a few days.   Win some, lose some, again. There was still a coolant weep from the front of the engine. This time it was one of those worm-drive hose clamps on the upper hose connecting to the water neck. There's a reason the factory doesn't use those type of clamps; they suck. The hose is all distorted and flared at the end from someone over-tightening it. The water neck just needed to be cleaned, hose seated, and have a *good* hose clamp put on, if the hose wasn't so mangled.   Thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and try to diagnose the EGR issue. It's likely a failed EGR but before I spent $85 on the part I wanted to make sure ports weren't clogged or the pintle wasn't stuck. It was kind of a bugger to remove with the upper intake installed. Re-install (because I wanted to drive it) proved more difficult.   Per the stack of service paperwork, the EGR has already been replaced 4 times since 1996.   It would reason, then, that the EGR flange on the lower intake manifold has had its share of techs trying to work quickly and maybe one of them seated a bolt slightly cross-threaded at one time. The bolt didn't come out without significant effort and tried as I did, it wouldn't go in without significant effort. And then, the mounting ear on the right side of the EGR (lower intake casting) cracked, and crumbled off. $%&@!!!   I hate everything. Or, at least, I did in that moment. I was pretty calm, considering. This is what older, junky vehicles do. They nickel and dime their owners, piss them off, and things break that shouldn't break because of shoddy design/workmanship, poorly done repairs.   If I want to make it right, I'll need to replace the lower intake manifold and basically re-do everything I spent days doing. At least it should go quicker this time, right?! Looks like a lower intake (used/junk, of course) will run me about $150.   Once I get the new EGR, I'll see if I can bolt it up snug enough to verify proper operation, and if it solves the persistent CEL that sets on decel for EGR flow, I'll know I'm back on the right track. And then I can decide how to proceed.   Also, an idler pulley has given up. It began squeaking in pain on startup. It's clear this truck hasn't been thoroughly driven in a long, long time as things are just letting go and shaking out. I may have given it the beans once or twice to make sure my intake gaskets were doing their job. Flog an old vehicle, expect what it gives in return.
