On the back of the other thread, clearly!

Mine:

Terrible management
Boring work
The actual takes are mostly futile

Home life (struggling to do my job properly, they are very supportive/understanding but I know I am not performing as I should)

work related depression from
unreasonable targets imposed from the top who don’t talk to people on the ground

If someone is off sick the office has to work harder and cover their target

im not a healthcare or social care worker and I’m not coping helping very vulnerable people some who are suicidal.

i stay due to colleagues and depression

Weak leadership, feels disorganised
workload
isolation/loneliness

The pay
Can be stressful
I've been there a long time and sometimes I just fancy a change

These are outweighed by the positives though.

traffic
Lack of opportunity to promote
feeling very unappreciated.

Luckily my direct manager is amazing and looks after his team

Micro management (that really is driving me potty)

Unnecessary meetings

Glacially slow teams getting in the way of me actually ever achieving any projects
