So stop posting gifs in reddit and get a new job.

Ottoblock · 2012-09-24T22:26:52+00:00

If you wouldn't bitch about your job, this wouldn't be a problem. If you want a new job, I'm pretty sure you know what steps to take. If you're looking for someone to hold your hand, good luck.

rushingfox · 2012-09-24T22:10:13+00:00

This Gif is getting old. It really isn't that hard to find a job anyways.

You know, I HATED it when people told me this when I felt I was stuck in my previous position. It wasn't helpful at all. However, I think this is just a quick way of saying, "Well, if you are not happy in your current position, time to update your resume and play the game again. Your chances are higher at getting a new job by putting all your energy into finding a new one than to let the current one upset you so much." I can't tell you how happy I am in my new position. Looking back, I no I didn't see it at the time, but I learned A LOT about what to look for in the future to avoid types of workplaces I know I won't be happy in.

ZebubXIII · 2012-09-24T22:19:35+00:00

you and everybody that's posted this before you.

Irma_Gerd · 2012-09-24T22:04:30+00:00

Well... why DON'T you find a new one? No matter who you are, no matter what the fuck you do, there's always something better. If you can't find it, you're not looking hard enough. Or at all.

BTW, in five years time I've gone from not even breaking $17,000 to pulling in closer to $60,000 a year because instead of just whining about how much my jobs sucked I found better ones.

What's this from?

death_to_the_stupid · 2012-09-24T22:34:03+00:00

"Just find a new one" is the polite way of saying, "Stop bitching about the same old shit. If you're not happy with your life, change it." Sadly, many people would prefer to remain in the same shitty situation and bitch about it constantly, rather than make any attempt to improve their situation.

I predicted the GIF that was going to appear on here before I clicked on the link. I was right.

Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called everybody, and they meet at the bar.

boredextremely · 2012-09-25T03:12:59+00:00

That's the point of telling you to get a new one. As someone who doesn't have one, stop fucking complaining that you get paid to do something.

Iamadinocopter · 2012-09-25T04:39:21+00:00

stop reposting it and perhaps you'll get one

Rexluna · 2012-09-25T04:51:48+00:00

Even though this is really old, I'll always love it because it is so tre

Jejoisland · 2012-09-25T06:47:20+00:00

Nice repost, I think your titles might actually be identical lol

Kyle_Crafty · 2012-09-25T06:51:57+00:00

I posted this on facebook a LONG time ago O.o

MitchRude · 2012-09-25T07:00:34+00:00

I'm gonna repost this shit in three months and see if I can grab 500+ karma points. hell I might even repost it again tonight. It always does well when it pops up.

Thunder_eater · 2012-09-25T07:27:43+00:00

SO TIRED OF THIS GIF. KILL IT WITH FIRE. STOP IT REDDIT!

attackzeppelin · 2012-09-25T00:28:44+00:00

Oh, come up with some OC? Just come up with some OC? Why don't I strap on my OC helmet and squeeze myself down into an OC cannon and fire off into OCland where OC grows on OCies?

fairbianca · 2012-09-25T00:53:08+00:00

don't understand all the hate for this gif - I LOVE it. Then again, I can't get a job :/

FrankenswinesLobster · 2012-09-25T03:15:23+00:00

Ridiculously long subtitled gifs frustrate me.

here is the video of those lines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzs-4kY4REc

Upvote from fellow crappy job-haver.

Have you tried? And by tried I mean really, really tried...

Polished your resume and kept at least three different versions and a template so you can tailor one if necessary to given postion?

Searched for job listings and submitted said resumes as appropriate for at least two solid hours a day, longer on the weekends?

Created custom cover letters for each submission?

Called and/or emailed to follow up with prospective employers, as much as possible, given how many listings don't provide adequate contact info to do so?

Submitted your resumes and a cover letter to staffing agencies? Don't turn your nose up at contract/temporary work. Many places will go through temp/staffing agencies so they don't have to deal with hiring/firing as much, and it can lead to a great job if you can impress your employer and get hired full time.

If you haven't tried, you should try. I won't say "If you haven't worked to change it you have no right to bitch!" because that's a bullshit, unhelpful response.

I hated the fuck out of my last job. Absolutely hated everything about it. One day, my bosses boss (a complete fucking fuckbag of a fucking tool who I would punch in the face reflexively if I saw him on the street) accused me of all kinds of bullshit that I did not and would not ever do.

That was straw that broke the camel's back. From that day on I spent every spare moment I could stand scouring job sites, applying to jobs with custom tailored resumes and cover letters, submitting to staffing agencies in case they could find me a good fit, and so on.

I was very picky because I didn't want to leave one shitty situation and end up in another. Finally, I found my current job and it is fucking awesome. I work at a great place with a great bunch of people and it's great!

It was a lot of hard work and it took me three months of solid hunting and interviewing but it was so totally worth it. If I had just wanted any ol' new job I could have had one in two weeks but I was being picky because I wanted to love my job.

Good luck. It's possible and you can do it, you just have to, well, actually do it.

simperingfool · 2012-09-24T23:12:21+00:00

Getting a job's like getting laid: people bitch incessantly about how hard it is to do or how arbitrary are the metrics used to evaluate good prospects, yet everyday many people are out there sealing deals and closing business (people probably dumber than you), you get better at if you actually take risks and try, unless you're gifted you're going to fail a lot in order to get better, sometimes you have to drastically change your lifestyle/outlook to get what you want, and people generally think they are entitled to something much better than they've ever done anything to deserve or put the work into to attain.

If you can't find a job you're not looking hard enough

LaughterAndChaos · 2012-09-24T23:24:15+00:00

find a job you hate,

do it,

put it on your resume as your employed,

apply for a job you want,

in the interview, tell them you're so desperate to work you'll even work the job you are currently working,

get the job you want.
