My job is trying to kill me.

Well as you guy's know I work for a bank doing fraud investigations. I sent out a letter a while back and had a metting with HR and earned us a 3% raise. In the meantime we deal with the worse humanity has to offer, poor stealing from poor, people assaulted by their drug addicted grandchildren, crime gangs that prey on the elderly, bank employees stealing from customers...

And the job is pretty stresful. Our work has increased by 180% in two years yet we have 75% of the employees we had two years ago. This week one girl slapped her ID on her desk saying she didint need it anymore and quit. Also a manager threw up, had a panick attack and was carried out by paramedics.

Just another week. The reason I'm upset is that the girl I'm in love with is traveling from Cali to see me next week. I requested my vacation 4 months ago and they said I had to go in on Friday. Ok, I said as a compromise. Today they said they might need me tuesday, wendsday and thrusday too, that it was never officially approved.

Oh well, hopefully next week I'll have some happy pictures from whatever bit of vacation I end up getting.

Frankly, if a bank can't afford to pay and offer decent conditions to its employees... I expect there's a better job waiting for you elsewhere.

Yeah, I always joke that when I worked in the food industry I took home food and when I worked as a barista I took home free coffee. It would be nice to take home a leftover handful of money every once in a while at the bank.

I'm looking to leave but cant yet... for a while all my interviews centered around "why do you last so little at jobs?" since I get bored and leave often. I'll sit this one out at least until that raise kicks in. Like I always joke, I'm the one sending letters to the corporate people about how bad the job is yet I might be the last person standing in my department.
