    At my office it is the temperature. Sections are always freezing and when we ask if they can just bump the heat up a bit they give us a whole song and dance about how the system just isn't built right and there isn't much they can do about it.

    Or not necessarily because of fear of change but rather potentially losing job security or a new job not working out and you ending up jobless and with no income.

    Our admin assistant has a signal to us to let us know she can't chat and visit with us (she still has to sit at her desk and help the public but we're all cool enough to accept her signal to us so she can get her work done).

    Who can possibly retire after 30 years? I mean mostly it happens at age 65, so that would mean they didn't start working until they were 35.

    I have been in too many jobs where I absolutely HAVE to be highly professional, tightly regulate my emotions, and choose my words carefully, but my boss can be an out of control, unreasonable, immature a*****e with impunity, regardless of whether there are any customers around or not. Glad my husband and I own our own business now. We get to be the kind of fair, ethical, and considerate bosses we always wished we had in the past.

    I don't have this problem because my work refuses to give me a fulltime job. So I have to juggle two part-time jobs (once I find a job that I can plan around my weekly changing schedule now) which is fiscally also more punishing and therefore financially not a good idea.
