Like it or not, most people have to work. What do you dislike the most about working?

For me, it’s micromanagers - bosses (and people who just think they’re bosses) who keep track of you as if you were 6 years old. Just give me the assignment and don’t bug me too often!

What’s your pet peeve about working? The commute? Stupid rules? Skimpy benefits?

I hate meetings. So, my career in management will go nowhere. Also, everything has to go through a committee or several people before a decision can be made.

@SheikYerbouti meetings 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Love4All No joke. There's a "meeting " to discuss the bigger meeting. They always start late, everyone has to stop in the break room. ..talk to others on their way.

@SheikYerbouti there’s a meeting to discuss the plan, then the next week to follow up on the progress, but people are busy and gets rescheduled to the following week, then the follow up meeting to discuss the challenges, we never get to the meeting where things get done.
I told my boss I could not go to meetings I just needed to get my work done.

@Love4All I managed to get out of one because it had nothing to do with me, and it was an hour that I could be doing work. But, yeah, it gets ridiculous.
