Least Favourite Task: Having to clean up after customers, particularly the parents who let their kids tear up the shelves or scatter blocks/magnets in the children's room.
I was a library shelver in college and I loved it! It was my absolute favorite job! I worked in a college library though, so there weren't any kids around.
With my current job, I hate all of the meetings. Too much discussion about really uninteresting things.
Least Favorite Task: Explaining complex algorithms and advanced statistics to business people. They really don't care and are just going to misuse the analysis, so it's just frustrating dealing with people who are intellectually dishonest.
Application administrator - supposedly as a software admin.
I hate doing desktop support stuff of using my hands. I'm awful with my hands. IT is also responsible for office moves - I probably spend a quarter of my time doing desktop support and moving equipment. Not what I thought the role would be at all.
Registered nurse- fetching coffee for patients within a reasonable amount of time in their minds. I can't tell them that I was late because I was too busy doing COR on someone else.
I thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss. Despite how prominent our job title might be, I feel like most people have one or two menial tasks that they absolutely hate doing in their role. So I'll start.
Job Title: Healthcare Analyst
The task I hate: Quality assurance evaluations for member service calls. Each week, I have to listen in on ~15 calls from our Member Services call center and evaluate the team members performance with handling the customer service call. It is by far, the most tedious, mind-numbing task I have. However, some of the calls are pretty interesting, because we have a very diverse client-base.
Console supervisor is the formal title, but around the workplace it's called board operator.
Doing the scheduling for outside operators.
Since we switched to a 12hr shift, we rewrote a lot of the rules for awarding and forcing for overtime. Mostly the rule changes are related to fatigue standards.
Outside operators are hyper invested in the scheduling so there is a consistent amount of complaining amongst themselves and with board operators about how the overtime was rewarded and forces that were handed out, there are frequent changes to the schedule a lot of different interpretations of the rules and therefore a lot of disagreements over the schedule. It's just a pain to deal with.
I'm a UI/UX Designer, one menial task I have is managing my digital design files and layers while designing. Maybe it's not really menial but it just a side task that needs to be done. Takes seconds to minutes depending on scope.
The menial task I hate the most is cleaning the sticky adhesive off aluminum plates by dipping them in ethyl acetate and scraping the adhesive substance off that are used to perform drug release on the transdermal patch projects we are working on.
Typically any kind of cleaning of glassware and loading the dishwasher with volumetric flasks and beakers.
Title : Gigolo
Task Disliked : Nothing, it's all about pleasure.
