Please the optimists out there give me some encouragement. My job sucks, the boss is abusive and never gives any of us positive feedback, I feel dead inside....

If you don't mind me asking, what kinda work do you do? -
your avatar is cute -
Don't mind- I am a social worker who works for a "managed care insurance company" and I get yelled by ignorant people all day long - social workers, clients, ect. I am a pion, not a decision maker. If someone is so unsatisfied or unahappy with their insurance they need to contact the hire ups (not yell at me me) On top of that my boss has no people's skills or managerial training and it is really very difficult for me going every day to be verbaly and emotionally abused. The job is in a busy call center (and I hate whiners telling me how long it took them to wait on the phone) I get the calls as they come to me and am the one that hast the highest intake per week comparing to my co-workers. Please don't ask why have I not left. I need to pay my bills (as a friend of mine says "you've got to eat" I have applied for all of the other jobs in the area etc. to no avail. The state I reside in has the highest number of counselors/social wokers. Anyway,I am an introvert, very sensitive, creative and decent person and the setting I am in is suffocating me. I got laid off 2 years ago and this was the job I found after about 4 mo of being unemployed.

Can you talk to human resources and be asked to be put in another area with a different boss? Unfortunately it is hard to get a different job right now but if you can get in another area maybe you will be in a happier environment. I can only imagine what you go through on the phone.
I ask people if they would like my bus parked up their ... when people treat me like crap! I wouldn't be a good person answering phones would I? -
As an underline point I've got here is pion. I'm sure that your bos doesn't like playing chess, so he can't APPRECIATE what a pion or pions for. I think that's the main problem. Chess, whether offensive or defensive games we carry on, player ought to appreciate pions. Usually, kind of players like that play well in offensive and defensive games of chess.
Ask the other pions to show the player on how he/she maintain the game running in offensive and defensive one. Open your files, recorded case, learn it, pick it up as a sample of presently condition, sometimes pions must play a game like being on a stage playing drama to push the bos on how she/he carry on the drama, whether offensive or defensive one. Hopefully she/he'll understand ways to appreciate pions.

Yes, and no. There are no openings that meet what I am looking for (and the fact that I am productive) stand in the way. I thank you for your feedback

Is there anyway you can get a position working as a social worker for your county? Not sure if all states are set up like Jersey but all the counties here have soial workers who work with the lower income, seniors and disabled residents.

Been there done that. (pays very little
and you are "forced" to bill medicaid by the agency you work for (and I do not want to get into fraudulent stuff) I enjoyend being a psychology adjunct professor but never able to find FT in GA doing that Many hopes dead and many tears shed....-
Ahh. I drive bus for county transportation and transport many people who have these social workers. Never really knew exactly what they did though. Figured it would be decent pay being a government employee! Ive been wrong before though.
Don't give up on your hopes though, you never know what might happen.

Something good will surely happen! Keep your chin up. -
Congratulations on having a job. That seems increasingly rare these days. -

Well, if you weren't cranky, you wouldn't be "CrankyChic" (ba-dum-dum, tsh!)
When you're at work, and your boss is yelling at you, just imagine that s/he is the devil incarnate, and, with every insult, gains a new "feature".
One insult = red tinged skin. Two insults adds horns, three adds a tail,. and so on and so forth until you get to such a ridiculous looking red tinged horned tailed pitchfork holding goat-footed creature that you just can't help but laugh. -
Hello Cranky Chick...I hope you are fine by now. Never allow anyone to get into your nerves for it will weaken you. Some people use their authority to make other look bad and in effect they are usually regarded as "killers of self-esteem". If you are good at your job but your superior does not appreciate it, then it is not your problem but his or hers.
Smile a lot and smile even more if you hear abusive words that belittle you..that will make your superior see that he or she does not have an effect on you. That will make him realized that you are strong and firm in character for what people say does not put you down. Be strong and you will feel the changes in time. Good luck and take care. -
Thank you all so much. I am taking deep breaths and trying to make it out there in the big world

Try to not think about work when you're not at work. This worked for me a while back. Your life outside of work could be totally "yours". They don't pay you enough so u would think about work all day, or even more feel bad about it. Try meditation as well. Try a walk in nature, alone. Also, consider going to school, pursuing an interest of yours, that eventually will lead to a career change (if you don't like the field of work) or another job in the same field that treats you better. If you work in a large company consider complaining about the management to HR. if you work in a small company complaining may backfire. Checkout www.wholenessblog.com for some tips on being well. I wish you well. Please take care. -
I hope things are better
