I did a three year apprenticeship for an office-job I'm currently doing. I can almost overlook the low pay and having to deal with rude customers, but the real problem are the people I have to work with.
The co-workers love to talk shit about peoples backs and then act all shocked and insulted when I don't want to join them for a BS company dinner. With the bosses you can tell that they just used to be school bullies who never grew out of it. Fat 50-somethings who are actively searching for the most minor mistake to make the next huge deal out of, constantly harassing their employees, being extremely rude and condescending, just assholes making everyone around them miserable. I also had to listen to a tirade or two because I didn't want to disclose personal information.
One day I just had enough so I wrote a letter of resignation to my superior, but the next day I called them to call it back. Not because I want to continue working there, I just figured since I'll leave anyway, I might as well take as much holiday and sick leave as I can to milk them for money. I know it might be morally questionable to some, but let's just call it compensation for having to deal with those assholes and their budget is beyond good and evil anyway, it's not some small mom&pop shop I'm hurting. Surprisingly enough, while calling and explaining my reasons to leave, the superior said that they heard it several times and are aware of how messed up things at my branch are. That's somewhat reassuring to hear I guess.
