>I know people that have been there for much longer and none of them seem happy or fulfilled. But much like you, I feel it's too cushy of a place to abandon in search for greener pastures. Holy shit are you me? The only thing keeping me here is the money. And it's GOOD money (46k no benifets) for not a lot of work, but I'm just not sure. I haven't met a single person who is here willingly everyone hates the place new and old timers alike.
The company culture also sucks cock where they believe in management through intimidation and everyone hates everyone else.

Yeah that's a good way to describe this place as well. Promotions are usually handed out privately to friends or acquaintances, sometimes from outside the company, and the job postings for the cushier jobs are often not even displayed publicly. Despite this, I could've advanced professionally if I had a college degree, that's my biggest drawback and it makes any chance of getting up the ladder pretty moot. My only future options would be supervisor/middle management stuff, which I wouldn't mind as I already try and support my younger coworkers in any way I can in that regard, but those are the kind of positions where nepotism seems most rampant.

>My only future options would be supervisor/middle management stuff Nigga I've got an engineering degree and that's what I do now. I work with the sups and go to their meetings daily. Don't get me wrong. This position has high esteem and pays quite well but I'm not a management type. >nepotism seems most rampant. Yeah I can see this happening but everyone at my company is too cut throat to suck a dick.

I couldn't imagine working at the sort of corporate places you all are talking about.
Still at college, waited/ing tables for awhile, I plan on teaching history and/or Spanish at a middle school. It's not glamorous in any way, but I get along well with kids and I feel like I'll have some sort of impact. The neighborhood and surrounding area is nice too, so there's that support from parents that's absent in inner-city schools.
It certainly does. Work should be a split of you love being there and you have ahit youd change.
I actually like my job, quite a bit most days. Its hard work but i make people smile and that makes me feel good about how i spend my time to make money.

Then I don't know what to tell you. Do you honestly think you'd be happier doing maintenance work on industrial machines? You sure this is not just you wanting to change things up and not see the same faces in board meetings all the time?

>Do you honestly think you'd be happier doing maintenance work on industrial machines? I'd like to think so, yes. I went into engineering thinking I'd be bulding and fixing shit, but that's what the mechanics do.

The "soulless corporation" stories you hear going around are pretty much true. There can however be a big difference between two teams within the same shitty company. Having a decent manager that understands he's not there to crack the whip and push people around and colleagues that defend, support and understand each other goes a long way towards making such places a lot more bearable. If you however do land in a cutthroat environment where people are simply exploited and replaced and there's a constant pressure on everyone which leads to massive distrust and resentment between coworkers, then it's pretty much hell on Earth and your only way to survive is to push people around which has the side-effect of exacerbating the problem for everyone else.
