Employee Gripes in an Overworked List For Women Fed Up With Their 9-5

Work: the necessary evil in our lives. Our 9-5 that we prayed for and kissed the ground for is the same 9-5 that has us ripping our hair out and coming with work with bags under our eyes from not sleeping. Okay, maybe your job isn't that stressful, but you get the point. Working full time really takes it out of us. If it didn't, then we wouldn't all be in agreement with complaining about it, I wouldn't have made this list of complaints, and you wouldn't have clicked on it. It's a tale old as time story, a ubiquitous experience that's as relatable as liking pizza or ice cream. Very few people like working, and even fewer like what they do. If you are someone blessed by the professional gods to be in a position you enjoy, then you're off to a good start. 


Work isn't just stressful, it can be incredibly existential to decide on a career path. These days, it's even harder to land entry level positions, but were trying to stay positive here, and not dwell on the complaints out of our control.
