An Office Job Can Be Fun for the Right Person

An office job can be a lot of fun and can also be incredibly tedious. I worked in an office for two years and did not enjoy the experience. I found that it was necessary to dress to impress each day which cost a lot of money. I found myself having to buy designer labels to appease my colleagues. I was often designated tasks that nobody wanted to undertake such as staying back late to organize paperwork for the following day. It was incredibly tedious and the work was never appreciated by the manager.
Having attended prince2 courses in regards to efficient project management, this knowledge heightened my sense of frustration at the inefficiencies in the company I worked for.
The manager was often absent and did not adopt any routine for the employees to adhere to. The only person who received any respect was his personal assistant. Most people were unproductive during the day as they tended to access the internet for at least one hour a day to respond to their private email. At times I received disdainful emails from an employee who worked in the same department. I found it rather hurtful. I don't regret leaving my office job.
