Do you like your Job?

El Jefe · 02-14-2008, 10:52 AM

Kind of a spinoff of another thread I read on some forum. I am interested to see if people like their jobs or just certain aspcts of them.

Do you like your job?

Do you like your salary?

Do you like your Boss?

Do you like your co-workers?

Do you want to change career fields maybe?

It should be an interesting topic.

Myself I do like my job I have gotten used to it over the lat 2 1/2 years. I do not like my salary I am really not making that much money, I could live on my own, but it would be a squeeze for sure, and I would hate to see the places I could afford. I like my boss, I work for my dad, it has it's benefits and it has it's downfalls. Co-workers wise, I work with my Dad and Brother then one other guy, my brother is ok most of the time, but he has a rapid short fuse and can make it a long day when you have to deal with him. To be honest I wouldn't change career fields if the pay and benefits were there at this job. I am young enough to where I think I am going to pursue an Associates degree in something to give myself at least something for schooling on my resume besides High School Diploma.

No. Dead end and monotonous.
No. Making entry level pay after working 6+ years.

life is too short to work a job you don't like.

Do you like your job?

I like the industry, but my job is so/so.

Do you like your salary?

Yes

Do you like your Boss?

My boss is OK. I kind of do my own thing though so all is good.

Do you like your co-workers?

They are fine. I can't think of anyone I dislike, but there really isn't anyone here that I'd want to invite over to my house for a party.

Do you want to change career fields maybe?

Some days yes, but it is more likely that I would stay in the same field and change employers. Not that any of this will happen anytime soon. Since my wife isn't working we need the stability.

I just quit my job and got a new job. I was a route driver for 11 years and it put a stain on my back, I just couldn't do it any more. I didn't like my boss either he was a pompass ass. I made good money and was successfull with sales untill this last year then the Co. I was working for got bought out and the new company is worse IMO. So I quit and now I am working with handicap people. I'm working the night shift and may work evenings later. I hope my new job works out, I don't know yet untill I get use to it maybe.

What kind of work with handi-cap people, like a sit in nurse or something like that? I had a buddy that took care of an older guy, and he made a lot of money wathcing/turning/feeding the guy.

**DaFace** · 02-14-2008, 11:46 AM

I hate my job. My boss is a tyrant.

**TrebMaxx** · 02-14-2008, 11:47 AM

No, I don't really like my job at this point of my career. Dead end, stuck working on a legacy product that will be phased out over time. I am just hoping it will last 10 more years so I can retire with benefits from this company.

I can't complain too much about salary but hell I would take more if they wanted to up the pay.

My boss is cool, but unfortunately I don't really work for him. The peeps I have to work for are freaking idiots. I also have to make sure everything I do is documented because these idiots have zero problem throwing you under the bus to cover up problems they created.

Co-workers. Some are fine and some are dip shits. Much like every other place I have worked.

I do have thoughts of changing career fields, but then I think 10 more years and retire with benefits. I guess it depends on how thick the BS may become.

Yea, a guy in a wheel chair. Pretty easy stuff, sleep, & watch TV mostly. Have to feed him and change him though. I know I am going to make less money but I don't really care right now I just want to take it easy for a while and save my back. So far it's a lot less stress for me as long as I get along with him.

PhillyChiefFan · 02-14-2008, 11:54 AM

Do you like your Job?
No, it is ongoing without the satifaction of finishing anything...ever.
Do you like your salary?
Yes, I make more money than most my age.

Do you like your boss?
Yea, my boss is a great guy.

Do you like your co-workers?
No, they don't like me cause I'm young and will be above them in two years. Also I have a degree. They are rude or just won't speak/look at me.

Do you want to change careers?
Jury's still out. But I am getting my MBA so I'm competitive just in case.

wutamess · 02-14-2008, 11:55 AM

Love everything about my job.
Not religious but I feel blessed.

Do you like your job? Yeah I enjoy my work

Do you like your salary? It's ok, wish I was getting more.

Do you like your Boss? Yes, she's a nice lady

Do you like your co-workers? Some of them. Female to Male ratio in this building is 80:1. I learn to stay in my office certain times of the month.

Do you want to change career fields maybe? I enjoy the IT field. I'm great at troubleshooting skills. I think I'll stick around for a little while.

This is the noblest company I've ever worked for. Working for a Non-Profit Organization takes alot of "selling" pressure off from the normal retail world.
