I like my job, I dislike some of the attitudes of the people I work with. Some of them hate their jobs, criticize our manager and nitpick, blame and critique me. Almost all of my coworkers are younger then me. I'm trying not to focus on that but it's hard not to. Almost all of them still live with parents. I am a parent.

I took this job because of the location and hours and because I like the company and the customers.

I don't really want to change jobs but I feel like nothing in my life is satisfying right now. I enjoy the work I do just not the people I work with which is ironic because usually people in my field love their coworkers and hate their customers . I'm an iconoclast.

I just don't feel good when I wake up in the morning. I didn't when I wasn't working and I don't now that I'm working at this job. Not to mention parenthood is very difficult and the only parent at my job has adult children.

I had interviewed for a job at another company but their hours weren't good for me .

I guess in some ways a trial work period is a good time to try different jobs if it came down to it but I also live in below market rate housing so I'm nervous about my rent going up because I'm working.

I just wish I could find some security. It's ironic that working is not giving me a sense of security.

Does your job require heavy interactions with your coworkers? I would try to avoid them as much as I could when it's not necessary to interact with them. Focus on what you like. Focus on what you do. I guess there is no perfect job for any of us. There will always be something we don't like in our jobs.

When you say starting your trial work period, do you mean from SSDI?

I have the same issue with my co-workers and with my boss. I try to just focus on the fact that I like what I do. And continue to seek employment elsewhere. I try to focus on the things I do like about my job and the benefits and just chuck it up to the trade off between the benefits and the pay and stupid things that bug me, and try to keep away from the things that bug me as much as possible.

Yes.

I'm going to try to deal with it as I like my job .

I also try to focus on the fact that I like what I do. I always enjoy my work. I also dislike some of the attitudes of the people who are blame and critique me.

As it turns out the person I have a problem with is a problem for other people. That doesn't make my job any easier but maybe, just maybe, it'll help my head.
