I'm a software engineer, The conditions of my job are actually pretty sweet: I get to work remote from a medium CoL city, I get paid well, my schedule is flexible so I don't have to be chained to my desk all day. The stuff I code is pretty boring but it's not the worst thing in the world.

The thing I can't stand is my coworkers: so many people I've met in this industry are money-obsessed ladder-climbing yuppies. Some of my coworkers are honest to god land lords. I dread having conversations with anyone in project management. These people are territorial and become upset whenever they're not included in some meeting. If one product manager gets added to a call, I hear about it from the other PMs. A good day for me is when I have 8 straight hours of coding to do and I don't speak to a single soul at work.

I am not anti-social. I have worked at other companies where my coworkers were really cool and I enjoyed talking with them. I like to take my laptop and work at the dog park and talk to other people. Maybe it's a regional thing? My coworkers are mostly in New York and my other jobs have all been in the South.

My last job at a grocery/warehouse for restaurants.

Just about the bottom of the barrel scratching incompetent, stupid, unobservent, and lack of. Costumers too! You think owning your own business you would know? Oh, hahaha... no.

I heard one guy saying he's going out of business because of us, I told him "no, because you're to stupid to read a box or sign on what cups they are, ripping all th3 boxes and THEN come back because you get the wrong one."

I can't do costumer service unless it pays. I'm not smart, but HOLY SHIT. How am I struggling this hard and these morons live in a house or have a nice car. Like damn
