Anyone like their work/job/career

Now i don't wake up every day and go woohoo i am going to work.... but i enjoy my job and the craic with my colleges... and i get a lot of satisfaction from my job...anyone else feel like that...i ask because a lot of people seem to dislike their job and some seem to hate their job!

I hated my job with a passion. Then i got made redundant and can't find a job for love nor money. Now,i'd happily go back to work in that sh1t hole if i could

What's there to like about being a student? You're poor and nobody likes you.

Irishcrx

No.

Dravokivich

No don't like it... I work in a complaints dept... I'd have to be 1 sadistic b@stard to enjoy that... well... I kinda am... but that's besides the point... no I don't enjoy work...

Yup I love my job and the people I work with. I've never once dreaded coming in to this job and I'm here nearly 4 years.

Kasabian

I love my job but hate my colleagues

alwaysadub ..one of my sisters and my brother have an interesting theory about liking your job and it goes like this.

In order to appreciate the career/job you end up...you have to have some really crap s***t jobs first... for example my brother worked picking potatoes then he worked in a night club sorting bottles, then he worked in Germany one summer and had to live in a tent for 3 months! so now he says he appreciates going in to a nice clean warm office to work.

Alkers

Was working on site as an Engineer and loved it, craic every day, changing work environment and always something happening. Got made redundant and went back to college and hating it!

Icaras

Just thinking about it and Ive liked all the jobs Ive had except one that was boring not because of the work or people and i like my job now - it actually very strange, maybe im just easily amused....

anniehoo

Yep...here 9 years and still like it. Have a good bit of craic with my colleagues aswell and hardly ever see my boss!

Acoshla

I'm currently in an interesting situation of unemployed/setting up my own business, if it works I'll love my job!

I hated my last job with a passion, I quit in February, tbh I should've quit last summer, but no I decided to be bullied for another while, good one Spadina :rolleyes:

I'm my only employee now though and I love working with me

docdolittle

I've just finished college and now I've to go on the dole (Great use of all my experience in work and what I've learned in college :rolleyes: ) I just got the forms today, I'm liking it so far :P

No, but the money's nor bad and it pays most of my bills.

Personally I'm proud of my present job sweeping floors and staking shelves in Dunnes.

Yeah I enjoy my job, get on great with my collegues but the hours can be long and unsociable

But 2 out of 3 ain't bad, and i've **** jobs/unfriendly co-workers in the past so I do really appreciate having a friendly work envoirnment now

My name is URL

Wouldn't say I love my job. I work from home mostly which can be mind numbingly boring

Duggy747

I did like my job, I was the only in-house techie at an IT solutions place and oddly enjoyed going to work every morning to see what new puzzles were thrown at me.

Then they laid me and others off due to downturn Ah, at least I got a free Xbox 360 from the Xmas raffle :pac:

Marty McFly

Nope i hate my job with a passion, there 8 years now and slowly but surely i hate it a little bit more each day.

But do need to keep my self out of the red so one must do what he has to, to survive.

Go away. You're not welcome here.

You should make a complaint about your working condition to your complaints dept. .....oh wait.

Well I'm 10 years in the one company, but I've moved jobs internally 6 times now. Thankfully due to the size of the company, I'm free to 'try out' positions every year or two so that I can find the line of work I like most.

CSR: Very tough at the start..nightmarish....but incredibly easy and repetitive after a while.

2nd level support (SME): Slightly more interesting, but have to deal with all the idiot newbie CSR's.

Quality Advocate : You get to make up rules to annoy the newbie CSR's like forcing them to mention the potential survey to all callers. Kinda fun, but way too easy.

Problem/Change Management: Lots of fun, very challenging and constantly dealing with new things. Tons of responsibility though as you are responsible for getting major technical issues resolved quickly. Good for honing your 'how to be sneaky bastard to get things done' skill.

3rd Application Support: Kinda like 2nd Level support, except everyone expects you to perform miracles. Not worth the hassle, and quite boring.

Application design (current job): Stressful. People tell you want they want, you spend weeks creating it, and then they tell you they changed their minds or want something completely different. But great job satisfaction when you create something really good.

Overall though, I like where I work. Good people, and an ever changing environment keeps things interesting.

It's interesting and decently paid; I can use my brain, and I also like my colleagues, but no job is so good that I wouldn't draw the same wage for doing nothing.

AssaultedPeanut

Like anything else that gets me out of bed in the morning, I hate it

I love my job, this week... I work in a small company, family run (my family I mean) so it has ups and downs. I love the industry I work in, and have a real passion for it. But working with family, in tough economic times can lead to very very stressed relationships. That on top of cuts in pay, cuts in budgets etc and longer hours, 6 day weeks make it a less pleasant place to work lately.
I do sometimes wish I worked in a larger company, because I miss all the banter.

dsmythy

So lots of people like their jobs it seems, but few are telling us what sort of job they do. Come on, spill the beans!

Brussels Sprout

I just counted it up there and between summer jobs and full time positions I've had 11 jobs in 4 countries and I've hated them all (although looking back now some of them don't seem that bad now). I think I just hate the idea of work-having to be there and knowing that someone somewhere is keeping an eye on me and my productivity.

I was on the dole for two spells as well and that was refreshing in the beginning but after a while it starts to depress you.

I really enjoyed college though so I'm thinking of heading back there again to do a post-grad.

corkcomp

yeah I like my job for 40 hours a week I do it.. I couldnt handle doing it for anymore than that though..

tian shi

I really dont like my job,probably cause its so demanding. with 48 hours work(7-7) and full time college, its demanding.

anyway, I find it extremely boring and draining.Its also going nowhere.

Wish I could pull a falling down :P

I was made redundant last november. I suppose for now it put my "career" on hold. Having worked in the same field for years and being on decent money I really really didn't want to get another, different job.

But I had to, I'm working in a call centre now and I'm happier than I've ever been.

It's night work usually, 12 hour shifts, very little notice when I have to go in and the money is not good but; I work with some very nice and interesting people. I can catch up on my reading because when I'm not on a call, I'm not doing anything else. I can go home at the end of a shift and not really have to worry about the job, not like when I was responsible for aspects of a project. It's easy going and you're just left to get on with it. I'm glad I like it, there's not much hope of me getting something else.
