Team-building exercises do this on purpose. If you like your coworkers you are more likely to stay even with worse conditions and pay.
Rostiperuna
Every job I've had. With a few exceptions in the crew that I just could not stand at all for any reason. Thank god I went back to school.

No
Mohaynow
Yup, I spent 8 years there before I realized that I was there for my coworkers and not the job.

Me right now, thankfully my coworkers understand and are helping me look for a new job

Rather than high school reunions, we need reunions of all the awesome coworkers we had during the shit jobs.

It's been the opposite for me with pretty much every job I had post high-school, the worst being the film industry. So. Many. Assholes.
fitchy0812
Pretty much every job I've ever had yeah, that's what work is. Slog to a location everyday and bond with those who also crave death.
glamdring1
Worked at a hospital where they wanted us to see 30+ patients a day. Wasn't safe and I got out but i still miss my crew.
Domivla
Just got fired from such a job. But honestly was considering to leave and i guess they realized i wasnt happy and thati wanted more money :/

It's what kept me working at a psych hospital for 5 years when I wanted to quit after 6 months
fr33land3r
Huh. There's something about solidarity with the other victims of capitalism that is universal across industries.
blaid0
All my jobs have been incredible except for the clients, suppliers, management, my coworkers and my subordinates.
BurnieCinders
and the traffic there and back.
blaid0
Ah yes, and that.
BatLadyRielle
I lived the folks I worked with even I was in gaming but I hated the industry. My last gaming job I was crying as I gave my notice.
BatLadyRielle
The people were great but the job was killing me.

I'm in these comments, and I don't like it.

the worst jobs have the best crews

Think this goes for all branches hahaha

Problem is if you stay in long enough you’ll have to distance yourself from your crew anyways so you lose the only good part

Military in general really. Basic was somehow some of the worst and best nights. So fun. So horrible.
GiftedGoldfish
Beat me to it. Only job I can say where the office had a game of Risk that almost lasted a month. Not worth the rest of the shit though
MonsantoBee
Oh yes.

Same.
tesseract4d2
Exact opposite for me. Rebuilding machines, troubleshooting computers, doing maint was fine. Coworkers made it suck.

USMC. Loved the crew, loved the job. Hated management!!?

Air Force for me

Exact opposite. Job was fine. Hated the crew. [shrug]

My last job as a Juvenile Correctional Officer. My coworkers and bosses were all great, but the job was absolute shit.
Coprophiliac
I've met my fair share of correctional officers and your coworkers were definitely not all great. That occupation is full of psychopaths.
thatsneitherherenorthere
Was an officer for 3 years. there were some people who needed to do better. a far cry from "full of psychopaths" however.
PostalHeathen
This was a small local facility with a small staff, and management didn't hesitate to get rid of anyone who acted badly toward the /1
PostalHeathen
residents, including even a hint of inappropriate behavior. There were few places in the facility not actively monitored by camera, and /2
Coprophiliac
They aren't residents, and that language is not to make them feel better. It's for you to feel better about keeping children in prison.
PostalHeathen
those were mostly supply closets or bathrooms and staff and residents could never be in them at the same time. One of the two had to be /3
PostalHeathen
visible on camera at the same time, and that policy was strictly enforced and followed. There was no real room for abuse, and neither /4
Scorch052
What a moronic thing to say. Be better.
Coprophiliac
Your blue lips won't save you.
Scorch052
I honestly don't know what that means but if you think I'm pro-cop just for calling out your bs, you really do need to do better.
Coprophiliac
Yeah I think you are you had to strawman me immediately so I don't take you seriously.
KarateCanine
Read a study. It's very true. Why do you think the white supremacists fit in so well?
Scorch052
I've read a fair few. It is a significant problem that needs addressing. Doesn't give people leave to start spouting bs with no data tho.
KarateCanine
Yeah sorry for being petty. I'm just so fed up with crooked cops and corrupt authority.
Coprophiliac
What's moronic about it in your opinion?
Scorch052
The assertion that having met some examples gives them the authority to make a universal judgment. Anecdotes do not replace data, and until
Scorch052
it can be verified that every CO is as bad as they describe, it is both deceitful and counterproductive to actually resolving the issue.
Jamesstin
I remember being 15 and Incarcerated. This fattie CO was showing us how to use a floor buffer. He turned it on while the floor was dry. 1/
Jamesstin
It spun and hit him right in the nads..ohhh my buddy & i laughed. He didnt find it funny. Anyhow, he later put me in a cell with some 2/
Jamesstin
Other inmates. Told em i had been bitching about black people or some bullshit. It takes someone mentally unstable to do that to a child.3/3
mmmdonutss
Yikes. Hope you told them you have a black friend or something. That usually helps
saysomethingcool
I think it's an example of the brotherhood. Gotta have each other's backs regardless of character or ethics
PostalHeathen
No, fuck that. Bad COs never lasted at our facility, and as union president, I made it clear that I wouldn't cover for abusive behavior.
saysomethingcool
You know what those bad COs then did? Went somewhere else. They're still bad COs, getting protected elsewhere
PostalHeathen
But they weren't protected by me or management, and they were kept away from the kids we were responsible for.
semperfi891
I've also had the opposite where I loved the job but hated the crew. Basically, any retail I had cool crews but the work was burdensome.
LavaAxe
Been there done that
eathotdog
My current job at as a meat cutter i have a great crew, guys in their 50-60 that listen to rock and metal, but the company sucks ass
JohnBluehill
To quote Randall: "This job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers"
Pigdogcow
I also hated the job & the crew
semperfi891
I've only had this once and that was just a hellhole.
phalanxausage
This is far more common.
chaseNC
That's the job I have now. It's so strange. Love the work, boss and middle management. My crew drives me insane though.
DukeLaserMaster
What about loved the job AND crew but your boss was a narcissistic sociopath?
semperfi891
This. I have had terrible bosses where the only reason I even spoke to them/acknowledged them was so I could continue to get raises.
DukeLaserMaster
You would think making lightsabers would be a killer job. But my old boss would typically threaten me with my job on a weekly basis. Expec-
DukeLaserMaster
-tations and quotas would change every week. Nothing was ever good enough. And reports and advice for things going on on the shop floor was-
DukeLaserMaster
-never listened to or heeded. Any problems we would finally report was responded to with: "figure it out" or "so you can't do your job?"
yallmfsneedjesus
This is my current situation. I love my job but my direct coworkers are insufferable. Passive aggressive, racist and all work no play types.
semperfi891
Yeah, I'm sorry. I hate passive aggressive people. Just say what you mean/want or be quiet. But, I prefer the "at work, you work" mentality.
yallmfsneedjesus
Depends on the work. You can still have fun working and not goofing off. I cant even get an appreciation of a meme on an email.
yallmfsneedjesus
Also i guess i just mean not being an insufferably miserable human at work would be nice.
semperfi891
Ah yeah I gotcha. I frequently drop memes/gifs at work, but it's like a 1 minute good off then back to work. But yeah, humans aren't machine
