That is how I felt waking up this morning. Don't get me wrong. I am soooo thankful I even have a job right now considering there are so many people out there who don't. But I work at a bank and am by far (about 15 to 20 years) the youngest person who works here. I don't have anyone I feel I can relate with, although I am still friendly to everyone. We recently hired a new manager over the concierge bankers, and she is not even my direct supervisor. However, she for some reason feels like she can give me all of her "bitch" work to do. And then yesterday she has the audacity to tell me not to wear this specific blouse anymore to work. I was wearing slacks an a silk button up black blouse. It's not revealing, just has some ruffles around the collar. By far nothing out of the ordinary....she said I didn't look professional. Ummm what?? The other women in my office wear similar stuff every day! And I've worn that same outfit about a dozen times. Grrrrrr.....

I'm just irritated and venting here. Thanks for listening if you've read through this post. LOL.

Anyone else out there dislike their job?

@Sasha,

Sooo glad you get how I feel. I totally agree. I am all about peoples' right to work, and I know retirement and social security situations suck for everyone, but older employees should definitely make sure the younger people know how to do the job for when the time comes for them to take over. I feel like at my job the older women (especially women) are really threatened by me because I am clearly much more fluent in using computers and technology in general. As a result, I get these bitchy catty women saying rude things to me about what I am wearing, etc. I mean, come on!

@Lindsay, I am in your same boat. I get the next four days off, so I am trying hard to keep that in mind while I am grinding my teeth with frustration today. LOL.

I am deleriously happy to have a ton of work today!  That's what I'm thankful for.

@SamanthaSadlier: I was laid off last year and needed a job bad so I took the first one I was offered which was at a bank. I lasted the two week training and one month of working before I quit. I really can relate that everyone was rude and the dress code was crazy. I do not know if it is just bank workers or what but I went home crying at least twice a week.

@vanilla, Glad you love your job! That is definitely nice. I loved my old job aside from the stress level, but I left it to move to be with my now husband. Sigh...the things we do for love :) Yeah I remember reading about that woman who is suing her company over them firing her for what she was wearing, which was definitely not inappropriate. I tell you, this woman must be jealous or something. Today, she told me that I should wear more sweaters (I am currently wearing a blazer.) Ummm what??? I don't understand how people can tell me what to wear like that. Whatever, just ignoring her now. LOL.

@Oasis, I am definitely looking to do the same as you. I really want to pursue a career as a librarian, which sounds weird I know. LOL. I volunteer at the library now and am just waiting for a position to open up and I can snag that first chance I get.

@bohemian, banks are a crazy industry I think. I am getting more used to it now that I have been here for six months, but I definitely couldn't handle it long term. I work for a small, brand new community bank. We are the only branch, and you still wouldn't believe the level of corruption here. It's ridiculous.

@SamanthaSadlier: I know i was told that I was not outgoing enough at my job, well then why did you hire me! I was never told in training or when hired that we had a certain number of people to help then I was told that I needed to get more people to come to my window even though it "was not a competition". Then my manager, who was the same age and shorter then me, said I needed to get a stool to stand on so people would see me better. Because seeing me front the mid waist up was not enough what they needed to see my crotch!!!!!

@ellie, Seriously! I'm still fuming. And then when she is not criticizing my wardrobe, she tries to call me out on my job, which is none of her business since she isn't my freaking boss! Urghhh. It will be really good to get away from her for a few days that is for sure.

@bohemian, geeze! That's uncomfortable. I totally don't blame you for leaving.

Ahhh greener pastures will be here soon enough!

@SamanthaSadlier: O it so was and once I left I was like a new person!

@pumpkinpatch: Good luck!!
