WASHINGTON — If what is posted on Twitter is a fair indication, people in Maryland and Virginia don’t much like their jobs.
Online jobs site Monster.com and social intelligence company Brandwatch studied a year’s worth of Twitter posts from across the country and analyzed posts specifically about jobs. The study puts both Maryland and Virginia in the top 10 for job haters.

The top 10 states where people on Twitter hate their jobs at a higher ratio than loving their jobs are consistent with last year’s results, Monster said. All are exclusively in the eastern half of the U.S., and eight of last year’s 10 lowest-ranked states made showing again this year.

I’m not saying they are a bad company, they have an incredible history. I’m just saying they are not performing as they did in the past. Is that internally caused? Not sure, but companies at times find that the original successful model for operation no longer works. Often because of external changes. With the ObamaNation, anything is possible, nothing works and many things may never work again.
I think people hate the traffic more than their jobs. Having a 20 mile commute turn into a 2-hour daily nightmare takes it toll. I just drove past my exit for work on Saturday and it took me 15 minutes. During the week it’s 75 minutes, without an accident.
