45 hour weeks? Weak all of you, try a 50+ week.
Work in the city, work for a firm of chartered accountants. Now look into my eyes, I'm quite dead inside.
Plus you get the enjoyment of your boss being an incompetent ******, won't be more than a year or two before I can do his job. While the senior manager is out of her depth and goes crying to HR that I'm too aggressive when challenged.
The accounts I can handle, the tax issues I can handle, he'll I've audited various companies. Incompetence and laziness I can't tolerate.
That sucks.
Gotta be honest tho, people that work in offices all sound very simmilar to me, especially in their complaints. Incompetent bosses, bad leadership, poor hours, overly emotional female co workers, etc etc. Seems like office culture just breeds that sort of stuff, part of the job. If your lucky you'll make enough to retire relatively young and not have to deal.
I count myself fortunate that I have successful parents. So long as I don't do anything stupid I'm pretty much set. I'll work because I WANT to, not because I HAVE to. Not everyone has that luxury.
