Rant
Everyone gets stressed out at work. But these people are really pissed. I just found this site called WorkRant.com.
It is a forum that lets people anonymously submit complaints about their work. Kind of like this site, but less job specific.
Here are a few sample posts that I really liked:
1. RANT:
Name: Jesse
From: Arkansas
My rant is simple: My boss loads and overloads me with more work, more projects, and more responsibilities on a daily basis. Meanwhile, my boss is never in the office, takes long lunch breaks, and is always out the door at ten minutes to five. Every day. In the several years I have worked for this organization, I have left earlier than five o’clock maybe a half dozen times. I actually love my job, when I am not overloaded with crap that my boss should be doing himself. That’s what really makes me want to rant!

2. RANT:
Name: Bitch
From: Hell
Starting today I am setting boundaries at work. If I get fired, so be it. I’m tired of being everybody’s doormat.
(1) I will no longer tolerate disrespect. If you wish my help, you can ask for it politely. Make sure the words “please” and “thank you” are included.
(2) I will no longer tolerate being interrupted when I am on the phone. This includes people who approach me and start talking loudly when I am speaking to someone, hoping to get my attention. When you see that I am on the phone, you will wait quietly until I am finished.
(3) I will no longer run errands or pick up lunch for the office on my lunch hour. I do not get paid for that hour, so it belongs to me. My car, my gas, my time. If you want me to run a work-related errand, I will add that time to my lunch hour. I will not run personal errands anymore. You can pick up your own damn dry cleaning!
There will be more, but these are the main areas that are slowly eating me up. I expect there will be payback, but I no longer care.
