I don't hate my job, but I don't really enjoy it either. The work is repetitive and some people are too "overachieverish" and make it annoying to work with, and make you work longer hours for no reason.

I don't hate my job. I work long hours doing tedious things and constantly live in fear of making a typo that will result in my being fired. I can't plan or take vacations, and I'm always missing out on things I want to do because I'm stuck at work. But I have piles of student loans, and I make a solid income for a 27 year-old, so when I do have free time, Mrs. FFT and I get to enjoy it in style. Trade-offs, I guess.

This is pretty much where I'm at w/ some of my co-workers.

When so many people are out of work and looking, I am happy to have a job.

The extra $1.00 an hour I get for working 3rd doesnt hurt either.

Do you think your place of employment thinks that YOU suck?

My job sucks.
The boss's suck.
Most of my co-workers suck. As stated above, they are always out to get you. Sabotaging machines so other shifts can't run more pieces than them, always starting drama, etc.

But it pays well, so I hang around, at least until the spring. Then I think I'm gonna bounce.

Great office, great coworkers. I do get overloaded occasionally and people tend to forget I'm only one person.....other than that...its the shit.

This is about spot on to my situation.

My job title is Senior Developer. It should be Only Developer.

What the hell is a metadata librarian? Does it pay more than minimum wage?

Has to be a union job.
