How many of you feel like going "postal" working in the field of non-profit or for the goverment?

Question

I just saw this new category on here.

I have had the wonderful experience of working for both ... luckily I got out before I went insane.

I'd have to say working for the goverment, state, etc., has to be the worst - no one knows what's going on and no one cares.

Who agrees?

Answer 1

I work with lower-income people and the main thing that bothers me is some of them act like you OWE them something because they're poor...... I'm only tryin to help and they get naaaaastyyyyy!! Whoo! It's very frustrating. But there are the rewards of feeling good when you help the people that genuinely need the assistance and truly appreciate what you've done to help them! And that in itself makes it all worth it. :) (And yes, I have to agree that alot of the times with government assistance programs the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing!)

Answer 2

I work for the federal govt...I am not going to go postal, but I know some people who have the potential to.

Answer 3

it's like that with most jobs, and some days I do feel like pumping off some rounds
