    @Frankie There must have been some great things about the job to compensate for working with a bunch of assholes. What were the good parts of the situation and why did you stay there?

    I'm curious because I work for myself.

    fflowley Don't just do something, stand there!

    I work with mostly really good peeps.
    Many of them oncology nurses who are some of the most giving, caring, compassionate human beings walking this earth.
    There are a few administrative folks I don’t care for. But I’m good at making that known in a subtle way and they steer clear of me.

    The pay and benefits package was decent to start with but even that was diminished towards the last few years but when you reach a certain age it's hard to change jobs I will say not all of my coworkers were assholes just the majority of them.

    I like most of the people that I work with, but despite this being a big office, I am relatively isolated.

    Most of the team that reports into me are spread across the region, with the exception of my Singapore lead. She's cool.

    The people I work with are good at their jobs and are pleasant to work with/for. No complaints. I don't socialize with any of them except when we are travelling together.

    Sometimes I think I'm working in a kindergarden or as someone said "I own t-shirts that are older than some of the people in there".

    (I was hunting for this thread for weeks; finally found it!)

    I did have one somewhat annoying co-worker, but apparently he's been cut loose. The company I'm working for went through some of the staffing agencies that supplied extra help and decided to eliminate the ones that provided less-than-stellar help. He was part of that package, so out the door he went. He wasn't 100% awful, just slightly wearying on my patience.

    I'm grateful that they didn't elect to remove the agency that brought me to their door. Of course, it's just possible that I'm the reason they didn't cut my agency loose. :cool:
