I think I simply hate my job...
•< 4th attempt at starting this post / 3rd title change >•
I’m not even sure anymore where I’m going with this. I started out on the lack of work ethic these days, but that idea was getting muddled. My train of thought changed over to how the concepts of communication and teamwork have given way over the years to departmentalization and self-service, but after a few sentences I knew I wasn’t capturing what I wanted either. The next kick at the can was on how my department has become the “babysitters” for the company - the only ones held accountable, regardless of the real root cause of the issue - but that still wasn’t quite it.
It’s dawning on me - it’s not just one of these things, or even just these few things...
I think I simply hate my job.
OK. I’ve admitted it. So what??? What does this really mean?
Short answer - knowing me it probably doesn’t mean shit. Nothing is going to change anyway (at least not for the better). I’ll probably just settle back into my comfortable little “status-quo” bubble, until the next time my frustrations boil over.....

Even if realizing that you hate your job doesn't "mean anything" as far as making a change, I hope it affords you some kind of peace of mind to understand yourself/your feelings that much more.

You know, after finishing the post and reading it a few times, I ended up with exactly what you said - an understanding of myself and my feelings. I often rant about individual frustrations (which was what the post started out as), but I think the act of writing them out kind of forced me to take a step back and see the bigger picture (which is what the post turned into).

I'm glad that writing things out helped you understand yourself!

But, to quote a great man, “I y’am what I y’am”.
