I was thinking about this on the way to work this morning after doing a lot of visiting and hearing everyone I know complain about their job and I was just wondering how many people here are happily employed.

I've always been pretty happy with the jobs I've had. But this, one is head over heals better than anything I've ever had. I love it!

I love the industry and the people I work directly with. The company sucks a fat one on the otherhand, and the pay is awful. I went nuetral.

Mike this is your boss. Please come down to my office.

I am starting on new one on April 11th and I bought part of the company I was consulting for. Stress, what stress?

Pay = very good.

Benefits = great.

Co-workers = average to good.

Schedule = great, flexible within reason.

Industry = stable and solid.

Job = some things I really like, some things I really don't like.

Manager = good to very good.

 

So while I checked "love", if there was a "like" option I would have checked that instead. I don't have much to complain about, that's for sure, but I don't think I've ever LOVED any of my jobs. I've been at this one for about 8 years, though, so it can't be all that bad....

I'm "happily employed" to the extent that I'm much more happy being employed than I would be otherwise. I won't go much farther than that, though.

i currently work part time...My job is to unload packages and load them on a belt, load and unload freight from trucks and planes. Soon i will be working an afternoon shift where i actually take the freight somewhere and deliver it. So two seprate part time jobs for the same company. I see that as a full time job, seeing how it is more than 6-7 hours a day. I like it....people are cool to work with, but the work can be grueling at times.

As the old saying goes, if work were fun, it would be called something else.

Or as I like to say, if work was fun, they wouldn't have to pay me to do it.

With my job I would be happy if it were tolerable rather than what it is. Happy isn't something I see as a possibility with my current job.

I can get away with reading and posting on Soxtalk at any time during the day. My pay is average at best, but the benefits (including semi-annual bonuses) make up for the lackluster salary.

 

The job itself kind of sucks, but I like the people I work with and they are very flexible with hours (leaving early to get down to the Cell, etc).

 

Plus, I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 general leave days this year. Can't complain about that.

 

Oh, and i get to travel to some nice places-San Diego, San Antonio, Phoenix, Orlando, Washington DC, Amsterdam (coming this sept. can't wait for that one).

 

I guess now that I write it all out that I like my job.

I was just surprised when I spoke with family and friends this weekend and not one person saw their job as at least tolerable. Everyone was just miserable with their job status. Yeah, we are all happy we have jobs (been in the position without one and it sucks), but not one of us was happy or at least at a point where they were "tolerating" their jobs (i.e. not necessarily happy, but wasn't at a point where they were hating their job).

 

I know where I am there isn't much of any fringe benefits and the benefits we do have are marginal at best. At least there is health, dental and 401K. Guess I can't ask for much more.

My vote was for neither. I get paid pretty well and I have full benefits but I think I'll still be in for a career change come the fall of next year.

Well I only work part time -30 hours a week.. But im going to answer this question anyway.

At my current position, supervisoor i'll say neutral, but I used to love just being a regular movie theatre worker.

 

Managers-3 are awesome 2 are average and 1 is bad.

Pay = Average-Good, for my age

Benefits = Are none

Co-workers = bad to very good, depending on who i'm working with.

Schedule = great

Job = For the most part I like it

Ask me in a year and half when hopefully I have a full - time job in an accounting company working in taxation or auditing most likely. Right now my part - time job is pretty crappy unless you consider picking up clothes and shoes and putting away returns loads of fun.

Im in sales downtown. The traveling is good, benefits are great, but to me the only thing that matters is pay, which makes me love my job. Some other people may not agree
