what kind of negative things about your job do you have to deal with? Do you get great health care, lots of vacation time. Do you get freebies like free lunch or free healthcare. Do you have all the opposite, or other stuff.

You know I know someone that worked for the marketing dept of a vineyard in Coonarawa in South Australia. They entire office got a whole case of wine a week for marketing purposes. The office was pissed drunk on friday afternoon after it arrived.
I get expensive, poor quality healthcare, a rotating shift and a union that is most certainly not looking out for my best interests. Thought this thread looked familiar, but it's different enough I guess. http://boards.theforce.net/threads/what-kind-of-benefits-do-you-get.50006474/
I rely on Hero Initiaive, not being outbid on ebay for vital, life saving medications, and Obama to heal me. When they fail, my wife's coverage shames all three of my methods.
That thread made me laugh my ass off. I was 33 and 35 when I had my kids, and the idea that there would have been any benefit whatsoever to my having them younger, was hilarious. I like my job. I get to recommend good books to kids, I get to buy Star Wars comics for kids to read without spending my own money, and I get to warn kids early on about the bat**** crazy conspiracy theorists whose websites might appear in a Google search.
Sporting Goods Sales Positive Paycheck, Loyal customers who won't buy their gear from anyone else but me. Negative Supervisors who give me 20 hours of tasks but only 2 hours to complete them, while working alone, and then asking why the hell the task list isn't finished and I have to stand there and take it instead of just saying what's on my mind like "NO **** ITS NOT DONE YOU ONLY HAVE ONE GODDAMN NAME ON THE SCHEDULE YOU ******* MORON!"
what is the standard annual leave for the average american anyway? in the UK i get paid 27 days annual leave, plus 8 bank holidays (christmas, new year etc). i assume that's good. as a bonus i get 15 paid study days per year, but that's not standard.
Oh yeah... Benefit: I only work a few hours a week during the summer. The downside to that: I also don't get paid during the summer. I have a savings account that I use just for the summer months.
School Teacher in Washington, D.C. Positives: Decent wages Summers "off" 16 free Grad credits through Federal Government Extensive usage of the Smithsonian and Archives Negatives: IMPACT system Horrible Union representation (we are recalling our Union President next week though) Lack of parental support (Why are you blaming me for your kid not doing their homework?) Lack of resources in the school Backstabbing co-workers Germ-infested teenagers and their sex talk
Well if you want to make me the parent then I am allowed to start beating them for giving me lip, rite? @DarthGuy: The Education of Michelle Rhee was illuminating, was it not?
Sarcasm aside, I agree. Majority of my kids act like grown folks. It is heartbreaking knowing that they aren't enjoying their youth.
I work for the government. I'm literally not supposed to put any details about it online. And it's incredibly menial. Weird.
