I hate my job so much i feel like I die a little inside everyday
Me too 😩
Same
me too, are u still at the same job?
We are dying a little every day. Depression makes you physically ill. I'm only 28 and my peers who are content in their lives look so youthful and healthy compared to me.
kill the job..
dont let fear drive you.
To any young person: do not feel pressured to get a full time job. Follow your passions, do free-lance work, start a small business. I wish I was encouraged to do those things earlier in life because a full time job is nothing but mind numbing soul crushing drudgery.
but how do i feed myself doing that
lmao "you're the dumbest person I ever met, yet you hired me!! What does that say about me!" wow the struggle is real lol
I'm not a boss but if I were I wouldn't hire someone dumber than me. Why would anyone?
Im at stage 5 and its only been a month, do yourself a favor and never work retail.
legit. I'm about done
+♥JinX♥ Unfortunately yes but thats probably my fault since i decided to get a seasonal job. I worked on thanksgiving, black friday, christmas and new years really im just glad its over.
+Raheal Berhe Let me telly you, a good amount of office jobs are just as horrible if not worse.
I've only woked here for a month I'm already at stage 5
Same
Oh god 🤣🤣
Damn. That counting hours in stage 5 is so true.
Counting the hours until you have to go back is what I always do haha
I hate my job ugh I started off okay & i liked it by that i mean i lied to myself that i loved it & now im at my breaking point at the truth that i want to quit
You're not alone
Broken Feather Debt
Broken Feather The good news I leave to college in the fall and ill be debt free and a full time student
same here
Stage 5 at Walmart and my GOD I can't wait till I'm outta there! DON'T go into retail if you can avoid it guys!
mrm64 what was your department?
I just quit Walmart a month ago so I agree 😂
@Vincent McBride so true, but still sucks ^^
"I pity your friends and family who do not get paid to interact with you."
what friends?
humans were meant to to be like every other organism on earth. Nature provides every basic need, thats all we ever needed, but somehow after thousands of years of being on this planet with all its mysteries and knowing that there are an infinite amount of planets and stars out there, all we have to say for it is a 9 to 5 job. We fucked this up so bad
i agree
+Ether so true
Agreed -_-
yes u said it perfectly!
I agree, its a corrupt system designed to suck money (and sanity of staff members) out of people. The well fare of employees is now mostly disregarded over money, that's how dysfunctional this society is, that why they now employ foreigners as they can charge the cheap since many don't earn much money anyways. Sometimes I wonder whats the bloody point, to be abused by the system (I dont think so). trust is in short supply these days, sometimes I feel that the people and governments system is betraying me. we are being taken advantage of by the system, for the sake of economics and power.
The complete and utter breakdown of the human spirit. Accurate
The moment your manager starts to piss you off is the moment you start hating your job
Ding Ding Ding
yup. You got it 100%
+Ife Uchime its scary how accurate you are.
Fuckin accurate
yess
As someone currently looking for a job, this was not encouraging.
It's probably too late to reassure you on this but make sure that you work in a field that you actually care about instead of just taking openings. If it's too late...it's not :)
Yep. This pretty much sums up my almost-2yrs spent working for local government.......DON'T DO IT PEOPLE!!! No amount of money is worth your health and your sanity........move back in with your parents until you work out what you really want to do with your life, and then do it with joy!! Love, a 35yr old almost-Nutritional Therapist and loving it 😋🍃👍🏻
I'm 24 and feel like I am trapped with no way out, because I need an income and jobs are hard to come by, but I know the only way out for me, is having a better education that may take years to gain, but in order to do that I need more time, which means ending up unemployed again.. but once you have experienced a little bit of wealth giving that up is very hard, but I guess it has to be done if I'm not really enjoying my job at times.
+Non Stop Aww I really feel your pain.....the reason I stayed as long as I did in my job was because I was determined to pay off my student debts before I left! I almost managed it, I just had a small amount left by the time I finally quit, but by that time my physical and emotional health was so bad that I knew it was time to prioritise my own wellbeing over my bank account. I love that you aspire to further education, that's awesome!! But I know how expensive that can be too. Look into grants and awards that may help you to fund your degree; there are loads out there for people who are just starting out ☺️👍🏻 However I also have to say, don't wait until you can afford to do a degree to start making changes. Do stuff out of work time that you love - cultivate skills and passions, try new stuff, doodle, write, make music, join a sport club, watch RUclips tutorials of stuff that interests you - anything that makes you feel alive!! Because a degree is not always the only way to find....
+Non Stop .......a path into something you love. Often times the next step in life sneaks up behind you and surprises you when you're just having fun. Like the Blimey Cow crew - they just started RUclips for fun, and now that's their full time thing! I just started posting pictures of food / meals / sweet treats I was making on Instagram for fun, and because I became ill and ended up having to create food that tastes great but without all the stuff I'm allergic to (gluten, dairy, soy, sugar etc) - within just a few months I had over 2000 followers, and my hubby and I are now about to launch a website and turn it into a real business! I have a degree in music lol. This is not what I planned for myself. But awesome things are happening, and I'm loving the journey!! So don't be disheartened......cultivate your passions now, and you never know what might happen ☺️👍🏻💖
and that's great, and I can understand why you would have that in mind, as nobody wants to have debt on their shoulders, at least you got the majority of your weight off your shoulders, even if it wasn't the best job that you was doing back then, and you made the right decision, your own health is more important then any job, sometimes I think about life too deeply, I have loved ones, who are elderly, they also work but part time, I work full time 42hrs a week, I don't want to have regrets one day, that I never spent enough time with them, I know its all part of growing up going to work etc, being a man with some aspirations, but it kind of hits home when you think about the time we actually do spend away from loved ones lol, I know most of the population do this, but we really do hardly get any time off, which is why I treasure what little time I do get off out of the 20 or so allowed per year, and thank you when I get to that stage, its something I will look in to, I should have done better earlier in life, but since I cant rewind the clock, all I can do is try, and try now.. and yeah its good to do something OUT of the Norm, it can take your mind off things especially when you work in a stressful job.. and lol I love to FEEL Alive, but my trouble is I like the thought of Travel, but rarely get to do it :D and I agree it can do, and I was thinking of starting a youtube channel, but I honestly could not think of a decent name for hours, and the name is like the main thing, but yeah if you make it on YT, that's the life... :P & that sounds fantastic, a lot of people out there, are actually in to food tutorials, and believe it or not, its a talking point, at least in my workplace :P so news of your antics on Instagram should travel fast... & that's something else that has crossed my mind, business... that's the only way to make real £.. and that degree you have will come in handy, if you know how to use it to, spread awareness of your new site.. and yeah life can be funny at times, not exactly going to plan :P I wish it did :P I'm almost 25, now but I remember as a kid in primary school saying by my age id have my own house/car/family.. lol now look at me none of those things :P and I have high hopes for you, I can tell you will do well, and life will take you on a good journey, and thanks for your words of encouragement, I'm going to work on my self, I'm a work in progress... lol even if its a slow work in progress. thanks once again.
I'm 34 and recently quit the new job I got and now I'm unemployed. It was terrible!😒
I want to leave my job right now, but I have the responsibility of paying bills. Oh life...
Timmy de Leon quit... you'll be ok
the alarm clock noise, is the worst thing on this earth
"How did my boss become a boss? He's an idiot!" lol XD
This video made my night oh my goodness help me 😂😂😂😂😂
Sefa D. B. lol awesome!!
YET YOU HIRED ME. WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT ME?
Molly B Omg.....
And the part when he thinks that the boss basically has no life omgsh 😂😂😂
This is why I work with kids (pre kinder-elementary) at an after school program! Sure they can be a handful sometimes and not listen or be respectful, but at the end of the day, I get to act like a complete goofball most of the time, go on field trips to places like Great America and Raging Waters during the summer, and just get to hang out with kids who have grown to hold a special place in my heart, while getting paid! Last year for my birthday I got at least 4 or 5 hand made cards from a couple of the kids saying how much they appreciated me and to have a good birthday. It was at that moment I realized what I did was truly making a difference in there lives, even if they can be tough sometimes, and that is something I will always be grateful for.
This is awesome! I recently started a job in the same position except I'm from Australia. I hope I'll never start dreading it..
I had the same job prior to heading off to college! I was blessed to never dread the job and to have a boss who let me not only have tons of fun with the kids, but who also let me discipline them when necessary. It really is the best job I could have asked for as a future public school teacher, if not the best job, period. I am glad that someone else "gets" it!
cool story bro.
WAAAY better than some corporate job
And then 90% of them grew up to be assholes.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the production quality of this sketch?
You guys are doing a really great job at making your videos better on so many different levels.
Stage 6: Insanity I HAVE ALREADY REACHED THIS POINT
This is so true. I went through all these stages in one month and gave my notice. I work for an evangelistic ministry now and I am a lot happier and much less soul-sucked.
Oh man, this is so me. People please make sure your doing a job you love and care about otherwise it's the WORST FORM OF MENTAL TORTURE YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE to wake up and go do a job you hate with seemingly no way out...sigh...
Some of us don't have that luxury and will forever live in torture.
You never know, things might change :)
+PeanutLikeButter I really hope so. A lot of times what makes a job suck is the people you work with. That can make a big difference.
I totally feel you on that point. I think the older we get the less we care what people think of us and we start to see that we are enough. For me, I always felt frustrated at work, like nothing i did was ever enough but I've come to the point where i don't worry any more and I'm starting to realise my job doesn't define who I am. It can be a slow and painful process but God has been helping me. I pray things start looking up for you too.
+PeanutLikeButter Thanx. I'm gonna try to get another job. In my situation having 2 jobs will be tough but having a job that doesn't give me any hours doesn't make sense either.
I'm currently at stage four, but I would say I don't completely hate my job. Sure, I'm sick and tired of being a doormat to the customers, but I happen to be blessed to have nice coworkers.
Ive worked at Chick-fil-a for a few months now and I'd say I'm at stage 2 now. My pleasure. My pleasure. My pleasure. My pleasure. My pleasure.
I wonder why they require you say "my pleasure." As a customer, I wish there were some variety. "Wonderful serving you today," or "I'd be glad to, sir," would be a nice twist.
Tennysystem it's because we are redirecting your thanks to God :-) instead of saying "your welcome to my great thing I did" its "it was my pleasure to serve you"
but chick-fil-a has better chicken nuggets than everywhere else.
Same. Actually I've found myself resisting the urge to say "how may I serve you?" when answering the phone. Too much time on headset....
omniXenderman that was so not appropriate.
This is why I don't want to major in something "practical" in college to get a "practical" job to live a "practical" life. I don't want to be depressed because of the way I make my living. Existential Crisis Round 2 here we come! Yay.
Those who gravitate toward "practical" jobs may actually enjoy having a practical job as much as you do your "impractical" job. Everything is based on your own perspective and attitude.
+Cat the turtle i agree, its all about how you view your life. You can be practical and love your job, or you can be impractical and hate it. Visa versa. All about perspective
Yeah, I thought engineering was "practical", yet I'm stuck in front of computer for 8 hours a day :/
Priscilla Wilson Are you a philosophy major by any chance?
If so, sup girl?
Priscilla Wilson My dad used to tell me that the number one priority in college is to get a job to pay the bills and then you can do the things you enjoy. Not necessarily that you should hate your job, of course.
14 years in I'm definitely at stage 5.
Another good sign is when you first started you walked in the building well before start time if you got there early. Now when you get there early, you sit in your car till the last possible minute. If I'm not being paid to work, I don't wanna hear about work!
I'm here because I just went through the first four stages in 2 weeks of working at my job.
I know hahaha 😂😂😱 I know how you feel, I've been there...
For me it's the 4th week or 20 days & I'm ready to make a move out the door.
"I count the hours until I sleep...." Jordan made an unintentional Les Miserables reference.
When you leave this office everyday, I honestly think you evaporate, until the next morning. 😂
the moment when you've reached stage 5
megaman exe is the go signal for a resignation. No regrets just resign. Because the management is sucking you up until you reach you reach your boiling point or should I say melting
Is this secretly saying you guys don't like making videos anymore????????!!!!!
No! Josh just quit his job to become self-employed making videos full time!
Yeah it's more like this is why they make videos full time because they quit their other jobs
My thought exactly... so convincing! ... almost... too convincing.
+Johnny Zhang I hope he isn't
yup ... 1 full year into my corporate job and i cannot wait to change and get a new job...Hopefully that will come ASAP!
You guys have a gift for expressing what most of us can't put into words. I re-watched this quite a few times, you hit the nail on the head!
Hi, my names karen and I have stage 5 job hate.
Hi, my names Jo, and I delight in walking new employees through the five stages of job hate.
Makes it funnier when they quit.
I'm a sadist.
Uh Oh, hope your Boss doesn't watch Messy Mondays!
Hiiii Karen :/
mrm64 Are you her boss?
josiah jenks
Yup, and I'm her secret agent boss and she'll be fired the next morning because I'm butthurt. xD
No I was just saying "hi" like in those group sessions.
Hahaha I love this. This is exactly what I went through at my last job. I never thought that my boss was an idiot, but he just seemed to be bipolar at times. He could be so friendly one minute and then the next he was going all retail drill sergeant on us and getting annoyed at us about things we as minimum wage employees couldn't control. My conclusion is that it goes up the ladder. My boss was getting a lot of pressure from his boss to produce numbers and the little guys get lost in the paperwork. I was thankful for landing that job in the first place because it gave me experience, but I'm sooooo glad I got out of there when I did. I love my current job.
I graduate in May, and it's already hard enough to contemplate looking for a job. Thanks a whole bunch for this refreshing, hope-filled pick me up..........
I currently work as a secretary in a law firm, the best job I had was as a cashier in CVS. I see people complaining about retail but know that working for attorneys is terrible as well.
"I quit, I quit, I quit!!" I love That Thing You Do so much
These stages can be applied to MMOs.
lol so true.
And school
Zips ak needs a life
*****
Yep.
Not Guild Wars 2 :)
I'm Stage 5. Definately Stage 5.
I've worked at a hotel in housekeeping for a year. I see all of the new housekeepers coming in, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, still in The Honeymoon Stage... and I'm like... "Aww... how cute...
>8( SOON."
This honestly got me through my last job, four years of absolute hell, thanks for the outlet for my frustration. Keep up the good work.
Don't underestimate the union representatives. They are there to protect you. Keeping quiet will not solve a problem, you will only pass it to the next person in your job. You might move to another job and get these problems on your shoulders again, from somebody who just left their job because of them. It's a vicious circle.
Great video... I understand every phase because I saw my dad go through them all before he finally resigned. Seriously love the way you're incorporating the ads into the videos. This one fit perfectly!
So funny! My favorite part was the different ways Jordan quit his job. Singing "I quit" while walking out - perfect!
This is great, I'm watching this as I'm getting ready for work. And sometimes when I sleep, I dream about work; it's nothing like what you describe.
I relate to this SO. VERY. MUCH. Some days it is SO difficult to get up out of the bed. BLEH. Walmart can REALLY such sometimes. Don't be a jerk to cashiers, please people! They deal with enough rubbish as it is!
You know.... maybe, just maybe, this is why so many people are depressed these days.
Hey guys, this IS actually super true. I went through this every time I get into a WRONG job. At first everyone's nice, like, they're so freakin nice! Then all of a sudden, they comment on something I've worked on and things get rough(only in my head). Like everything is normal outside of me, though I have to admit sometimes I had to put on a moody face or something when I'm too pissed but all the real arguments, the bad one, stays in my head.
Then what's worse? Fighting somewhere between the date of beginning to half of the month. Like you've just started off the month like 10 days, then a really big argument happens and you're like, I'll quit at the end of this month and you'll actually really end up counting the days and saying to yourself it's just one day like Jordan did.
IT'S REAL GUYS
Lol just quit my job as a fast food worker and I can say this is 100% accurate...especially the soul sucking part XD
So no lie, I liked the add at the end. It was straight forward and not super fake. I respect that. Watched till the end to show support and will check out NatureBox
"That Thing You Do" reference!!! I quit, I quit I quit!! Haha love it!
Jordan, this is EXATLY how I feel ag school. You clearly never felt this cause you were homeschooled,I'm was too hug this year I went to school. And this is how it feels.
You guys are
SOOOOOOOO funny! Your the only reason I like Mondays.
"I pity your friends and family who do not get paid to interact with you."
Sick burn.
I hate massage therapy. I wish I could have Marzia's life. Marry a hot RUclipsr, get freaking rich. Become a RUclipsr and have a fashion channel while traveling places and vlogging about different nature preserves and animals sanctuaries, interviewing park rangers and making documentaries. Being so rich you can start a fuck ton of charities and your books will actually get revenue from being published.
2:23 Nice reference to _That Thing You Do!_ Awesome movie.
At stage 5. thinking of quitting.... i've reached the point where i ask a question and my colleagues look at people on my project and give them the answer instead.... i'm counting the hours of free time, and counting the hours of work time all the time.... constantly giving second chance to this job. the tasks are awesome and i love them! but the team and the boss are horrible.
My job is not even a real job, its more like an apprenticeship but not really (its hard to explain, to Norwegians though; its a NAV job, better than staying home atleast!)
And the guys there actually listen when I suggest things. It makes them happy when I come with solutions that work better than the old solutions. And also the boss is nice and my coworkers are nice. I've worked there since October last year, and this hasn't happened yet.
I work at a museum though, but sometimes I hang out in the office helping out a bit.
Every time! I love the promos!! So cheesy and funny, but genuine and good.
I LOVE the "That thing you do" reference!
"I quit! I quit! I quit!"
Almost a month and a half into my job and I’m transitioning between stage 4 to stage 5. Sales and customer service is stressing me so much, I’ve been dreading going to work everyday and I’ve been underperforming. Thank god it’s seasonal ahhhhhhh
This is exactly what I went through with my first retail job >x< Thankfully, my co-workers and boss were actually very supportive and cool. But Retail...Enough said.
Anybody else pick up the I QUIT song reference?
That Thing You Do! ...I feel like quotes from that movie are code for you grew up a Christian homeschooler, but maybe that's just me?
Yup.
I was so excited that he did the song. Day made.
What's the reference? Lol I don't know but I'd like to!
Lola Love It's from the movie That Thing You Do. One of the band members quits or whatever and sings that.
The "that thing you do" reference just made my day.
Your commercials jive with the message now. :) Ah, the nostalgia of yesteryear radio. lol
Guys...the "That Thing You Do" reference made my life. That was amazing.
😂😂😂😂 this is so freaking true it hurts
Definitely my favorite of your videos.
Yep. At stage 6, when I'm constantly hoping every little pain is a sign of some serious illness that puts me out of my misery. I would rather die than work at my job for another five years.
The funniest (and most bewildering) part of Blimey Cow is that its so true:), :(
This video is amazing. I actually laughed out loud at the I quit song and the WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT ME part xD
Although you may hate your job, if you do it to your best ability, perhaps, you will eventually find what you love to do with one of the next ones. Ironically, I love my volunteer job. Just wish I could get paid to do it.
I worked at Walmart for over a year, and this video could not have more accurately describe my life there.
I spotted a reference to "That Thing You Do!" - very cool! The last two points made me laugh...BEEN THERE!
Do what you love and you'll never word a day in your life.
Word
Word
Word.
Do what you love enough times and one day you'll start to despise it.
Okay, okay... I was on an iPhone and in a hurry... Typos happen..
Love the "I quit" That Thing You Do reference
I made it to Stage 5 only a few months after working in the fast food industry. It's been a year at my new job and I still like it. So I guess snot all jobs are like that.
I was at stage 5 for over a year in my first job when I was 15/16. Absolutely destroyed me tbh, but thank you Blimey Cow for giving me a laugh xx
You are all such good actors! Loving the facial expressions haha 1:35
It would be hilarious if you tried to incorporate the Nature Box snacks in with a rap at the end! :)
Jordan's gesture from 0:23-0:30 is so funny!
...They upload this the same day I interviewed for my first job....I'm seriously reconsidering this now...
Haha haha!!!!
The "I quit" song is from That Thing You Do.
And when he said it he was wearing just about the same clothing. Lol!!
2:25 is a "That Thing You Do" reference! :D
Ahaha I died when he started singing "I quit! I quit! I quit"!!
oh. my. god. Did I, unconsiously and unaware of all this, already reached stage 5?
+Lima Hakil haha I had the same reaction! I've been working in retail for approximately 3 months and I've gone through all 5 stages already! Currently hating on my bosses 😂
greeneyes❤ on my momma same shit here lol
I'm still in school, so I haven't had a job yet - but that alarm was full of more negative emotion than I thought possible
This is so true I worked for 2 years and these are totally true.
I generally love my work. But the one time I got a bad boss, I skipped to stage three by day two and enacted stage five by the third week. I think my co-workers, or anyway the ones who endured it, had "dread" and "the molding" as one and the same.
Best episode ever, good job guys!
BUT YOU FORGOT
Stage 6: realizing that everything is okay and you can do it
Inktivate Stage 7 you realize you are lying yourself
stage 10 , i'll quit my job and go to brothel today , join me if you want haha .
"And how in the BLIPPITY BLEEP did my boss ever become a boss?!" hahaha
I GREATLY appreciate the That Thing You Do reference.
So much like! This is the most relatable and accurate video so far!
Jimmy's "I Quit" song so great!
THAT THING YOU DO REFERENCE! Thank you, that was One-derful.
YESSSS That Thing You Do reference FOR THE WIN!!!
Stage 5 after the first day
0_0
This. Was. Hilarious.
And relatable. And I thought you were going to lecture a little about how we should get over it and we’re being dramatic. But you didn’t. 🤣😹🤣
I'm at stage 5 and in school. Thank goodness I can do my part time writing on the side.
