I feel dumb complaining about these things but they are annoying as fuck.
When I schedule PTO I have to add to 3 seperate sharepoint sheets what day I'm off, when I'll be back, etc. Then I have to put it on teams, then my email inbox.
And then I have to clock in 2 times a day and clock out 2 times a day instead of just paying for our 30 minute lunch. I know it's standard but our clock in/out system barely works.
Then I have to seperate stupid emails from important ones for at least 20 minutes a day.
I'll get emails that someone had a kid or some stupid work event that has nothing to do with any work. I have no interest in going to a sport event with my coworkers and I have no interest in going to “happy hour” and risk being inebriated around my coworkers. I'm not donating to a cause through my company. They know how much they pay me.
I hate our pointless meetings where all we do is talk and socialize. I don't care. I want to do my job. I don't care that you're buying a new house. I do not care about your kids. I do not care about your hobbies.
I just want to do my damn job. I don't want to spend hours of my day on this crap when I've got things I have to work on.
