Do you enjoy your job?

[chicken]

Mostly like my job. It can get a bit intense at times but it's usually worth it in the end.

[malfunction]

Why don't you people get new jobs then? If it's that bad, surely you should change your career?

Money is king unfortunately... I'm very tempted to go back to a dev job (currently consulting) but it would involve a serious pay cut (25% or more). I will change roles eventually but at the moment I'm piling the extra cash onto the mortgage.

[rox0r]

Bores me to tears, about as challenging as a three piece jigsaw.

Pays the mortgage though

- 3 months notice is way too long

I've seen a few people ignore > 4 week notice periods. I've even seen one person only give 1 week's notice. If you can cope with an adverse reaction from your manager(s) I don't believe many (any?) company will enforce a 3 month notice period (i.e. legally). Obviously it all depends on how justified you think 3 month's notice is.

I love my job

I know I'm good at it, I know how to do it, I know there's more to do, and I love it. I learn every day, I ask for trouble and deliberately get in the way of things that need sorting everyday, and I earn respect for that.

It's a weird job, and I'm suited to it. Self motivation is 100% essential, without it, nowt would get done.

The only thing I miss....is commission. I'm salaried now and I misss the buzz of commission paid job, but it's much better in the long term I guess.
Monday's are still exciting

[Zak33]

oh...and I drive a long way everyday. Just done Bucks where I live to Chester and back today for a 3 hour meeting. Now it's email time. So flexibility in working hours is essential too.

[Konan555]

Hate it right now. OK, it's £600 an hour, but 10 minutes in the job centre every two weeks is a kick in the teeth.

[TeePee]

I love my job. The only problem is I'm not doing enough of it!

I'm only paid for the time I'm with a student, averaging about 3 hours a day. Some days I show up and do....nothing.

[TiG]

I love what I do, but omg i hate office politics (even if i'm good at them), just give me what i want and let me get on with it management, you'll benefit from it all in the end just don't be bloody blinkered.

[Sinizter]

I enjoy mine ... Most of the time.

But I hate all the paperwork and hoops I need to jump through ... Its getting ridiculous.

Why don't you people get new jobs then? If it's that bad, surely you should change your career?

a)Laziness, working for the same firm for 15 years makes one complacent.

b)With 4 kids to support security is important & whilst no job is secure, this one is about as secure as it gets, it seems.

[tiggerai]

Ask me next week when things have calmed down a bit and I'll say I love it.

At the moment I don't, as I'm still here... again.
And I can't seem to do anything right at the moment. I've got too much to do, just gotta learn to delegate a bit more (difficult when you can't trust the people you delegate to to actually do the job... but can't win them all.)

The commute is a PITA too.

I've been here a year now though, so that's cool.

[kidzer]

I suppose I should put across my own point, given that I started the thread!

I've only been in work for 3 weeks and 2 days, its not what I want to do when I graduate, but it fills in the long summer/makes me some money and gets me some work experience which can go on the CV.

As I said, it's not the job I want to do when I graduate, but tbh I dont mind it really, sure its boring at times, but when I get a few varied tasks to do I can do each one for 40mins or so, keeps me from getting bored as quickly.

The commute is a bugger though, leave here at 7:10am, and arrive home at 6:15pm (my working hours are 8:30-5pm), might not seem much to some of you folks, but i'd never done a days work in my lift before I started here!

I'm quite good at the stuff I do too, which also makes it a more satisfying experience than doing stuff I struggle with/am slow at.

All things considered, its not bad but I lean more towards the "Love my Job!" goalpost.

[Andy3536]

Jobs alot easier than my previous and don't really enjoy it, hate the managers, hate the pay, like the people i work with.

[dannyboy83]

If I could afford to have no job, I'd love it. Still waiting for that lottery win!

[finlay666]

Computer Game software engineering student....fire-trucking love it
Butcher........Don't enjoy it when one member of staff is in (basically makes everyone else do loads of extra work by being a rude, fat, lazy fire-trucker), otherwise it's ok...it's money after all
