work sucks

I really don't like my job.

I know a lot of people say that, but I think my situation is a little unique.

For one, I have three female bosses, and everyone in my office is female. I'm a girl, too, so the amount of estrogen floating around is astonishing.

In order of appearance, we have: Flutterby, the big boss, who controls the entire office and such.
Kookles, one of two minor bosses, who is rather insane
and, finally, Beezy. Her name speaks for itself.

Part of my job is to write 1-2 articles a week for this organization, which appear in a local newspaper. Everyone has their own opinions, which is fine, but I have to have a 45-minute meeting with Kookles before she is satisfied, a 10-minute meeting with Beezy before she is satisfied, and then another meeting with Flutterby where she dismisses all the changes made by the other two. This is also the case for e-newsletters or anything else that involves communications. And it can't be something simple like changing a word, it has to be "I don't like how this looks now, change it."

I have to say, Kookles is really kooky because of a semi-recent surgery and the amount of drugs she's taking.

But these women are never satisfied! Something is always wrong, something always needs changing.

I suppose that's how the world works, though.

Your job really does suck, and they overwork you. I'm sorry you have to go through all that almost every day.

I have a similar situation at work... we are all girls. My boss, who I share an office with, is crazy and makes stuff up all the time. What goes today may not go tomorrow... she is off her rocker. So I found that she was only being mean to me in the office, everyone else could do no wrong, but I did everything wrong! So I flipped it on her, I kill her with kindness! So far so good. She has nothing to say bad about me because I dont give her anything... maybe that will work with your crazy "girls only" job!

Why dont you all have a meeting together to look over work? Having those other bosses edit for content doesn't make any sense to me, content should be the last rounds job. Insane, sorry it such a bummer, but you seem to be taking the stress well!
