Does anyone like their job?

creep

It seems like prison to me not been able to do what you want when you want and just have to put up with bull****. Usually the people who get the promotions are complete and utter licks who would stick a red hot iron up their arse if the boss asked them. How do you like your workplace.

Stheno

Like what I do fine, some of the people suck though

Chattastrophe!

I like my job, and the company, and the people I work with. I'm very lucky.

wazky

I work in the bank and love my work, get to meet new people, good career prospects, financially secure, flexible hours and all I have to do is walk in waving a toy gun around.

Muise...

my work makes me very happy. I just wish someone would pay me for it.

ananas

I do like my job but it can be so unnecessarily stressful when people make shout for no reason.

Eight Ball

Used to like it but recently its become unbearable. Constant pressure to work harder and longer hours with the jobbridge sword hanging over everyones head on a daily basis. I despise what FG/Labour have done to the unskilled workers in this country. Fcuk them.

Shenshen

I like it - I'm lucky enough to work in a company which is growing fast, lots of projects, lots of change, lots of challenges.

Money could be better, which is why I'm currently looking around for something else. But I'm still hoping for a rise so I can stay on in my current job.

Yes, some people I work with are pricks. I've worked in a good few places, there always will be pricks, there's no avoiding those. Luckily, I can avoid most of them most days in my workplace now.

ygolometsipe

it depends on the size of the cock.

Frynge

Love it. Get to work my own hours within reason. Do different projects aswell as day to day things.

woodoo

Mine is OK, quite boring though. I wouldn't like to still be doing the same thing in 10 years though.

Wabbit Ears

I like my job yea.

Mint Sauce

Yes there are stressful days, and ones where I cant wait to leave, but on the whole, yes I do like my job, I'd go as far as saying I love my job.

Yep, I really like it on the whole. The money is a massive downside. Massive. I feel very underpaid for the work I do and effort I put in and have zero job security.

Most people I know just tolerate their job,I am in the same league.
How many of us would still do our jobs if we won the lottery tonight.
I bet less than 1%,we work because its necessary and we hope that our plans will workout to move us up the ladder and take us to better places.
Unfortunately not everyone gets to progress and the majority just grin and bare it after decades or so and live for the weekend.
I have been working nearly 13yrs now since graduation,not at all in the job I want to finish my career in but have a firm goal to go out on my own and work for myself as this will give me power over my own destiny and the effort I put in will be rewarded and acknowledged by myself and its up to me really.
I have seen people just trudge along and seek out the cushy number,others work like lunatics busying themselves with everything in the business but not actually getting the any thanks.
Its never too late to turn that crap job into a better one but it saddens me to see someone with a lot of talent accept the easy option and just exist in their job.

wexie

hmmmm....overall yes. Have issues at times dealing with some of the politics but I'm very rarely in the office so that's okay, also people have gotten used to me not being political. I get paid to get the job done, not put up with incompetence or silly sensitivities.

But I get to deal with lots of different customers, work with interesting technology and explain lots of stuff to people which I like.
Do wish I'd be home more often though, I travel a lot for work and the time away from the family can be hard sometimes.

I'd still do my job if I won the lotto. The price I pay, though, is a crap salary and no job security. I have friends making good money who just tolerate or downright hate their jobs. It seems like you can't have it both ways.

Autosport

I don't mind my job but I love it more when I get to travel around the world with the company.

I love my job. Great pay and conditions and extra long holidays.

Ya I love working in KFC

I really love mine Maybe you need to watch this by Alan Watts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOXMzwx7Mlc (start about 10 seconds into the video)

Skill Magill

Everyday a little piece of me dies

cml387

I do love my job.

But they always beg and plead. It's no use of course but they do it anyway. If they'd just accept their fate it would be a lot easier.

The travel is a perk too.And you get free sunglasses and a dark suit.

razorgil

used to love my job, then the recession hit, and through no fault of mine, my conditions have, and still are, deteriorating. pay, down, hours up, but u gotta persevere. not sure any more what my goals, or, ambitions were, but have family now, and can't afford to just think of me anymore. gotta make that money, pay the bills etc. can get me down every now and then, but see the kids when i get home, their happiness, innocence, and oblivion as to whats going on, makes it tolerable

Tom_Cruise

Pretty sure ill never work again now. I cant see myself ever landing a job again (im seriously ugly and pretty stupid as well). All this combined with the never ending recession has sealed my fate.

I though a person with a username called Tom Cruise.. would have better optimism than that :P

no, the work is backbreaking, the money is ****, and the boss is a ****

Turtyturd

Am due to start in the next few weeks at something I should like. Dunno if I actually will but having spent almost 10 years in a sh*tty job which I hated my OH has my permission to punch me if I ever complain about it.

Viva La Gloria

Not in the slightest. But just finished college so waiting to make a dash

BNMC

Hate it with a passion. The money is shit, the work is mindnumbingly boring, the people are utter bastards and the boss is a smug overpaid underworked arsehole.

Plan on going back to college in order to get out of the fucking kip.

we'llallhavetea

I would do anything to avoid work but when I'm in there I'm grand. I get on with most of the clients and have the craic

truebluesac

I have the best job in the world . Ever . Full stop.

minidazzler

Love my job. Keeps me fit, healthy and in money. Never mind that it means I get a huge ego boost from pretty girls chatting me up all the time

It's hard work and heavy lifting, but I'd prefer that to sitting in a boring office staring at a screen waiting for the weekend.

I work in a bar.

JohnMarston

The pay's not great but the work is hard

Iwasfrozen

Will people say what they do when they post. It's kind of pointless otherwise.

Wanderer2010

The job itself (office) isnt too bad its the gossips and office politics and this culture of "lets go for a few pints after work" crap that really annoys me. If you dont spend half your work day talking nasty about someone else or getting involved in gossip then you arent one of them simple as that. I just want to do my job and get my money for it wheres the crime there? The money is only just enough for me to stay and keep the bills away. The job is ok the people are retards.

DoozerT6

I work with the general public. And no, I don't like it. But mortgage/bills, blah blah.....

Sure that's all the fun of any job.

You're obviously one of those nosey gossips then. :pac:

TBH I feel sorry for them, they must not have a life outside of work and I find that pretty sad. I never socialize with any work colleague, I see and hear enough shite from them during the week.

Is your idea of fun running down people who dont play the same sports/dress the same way and generally dont gossip as much as you? If so I feel sorry for you. I personally only see the job as a means to an end not my entire reason for living.

Same as me, a lot of them are really naive and goody goodies if you get me. I don't want to go for pints with you I want to get home or relax and drink with my friends. There are very few I go for pints with but the people in my team are just simple.

Were surprised when I said I wasn't going to the Christmas party in a hotel thats 40 miles away and pay 80 euro for it and have to make your own way up. Its a job, I couldn't give a feck

If you only see your job as a way to pay your bills then I feel sorry for you.

You'd enjoy your job more if you participate with the group. You'll make new friends, have more fun, your attitude will catch the eye of the boss who looks for team players and you'll start to enjoy your job more. Give it a chance.

boobar

I work in IT, like the guys I work with, pays well and I like the work.

Some stress when deadlines are looming. Commute is only 25 minutes as well so that's another plus.

jonnny68

People I work with are good people but the job itself is absolutely dreadful in every respect, been looking for something else for months now without any success.

If anything it's harder trying to get a job now than it was at anytime during the recession but according to the corrupt incompetent government who massage unemployment figures things are on the up.

Pigs will fly too!!!

irish bloke

Would love to do nothin all day and I wouldn't get bored either.

Work is for horses

embraer170

The pay is great but the job is incredibly boring. I also don't particularly like any of my colleagues. My wage is the only thing stopping me from finding something else and it has been like that for almost 4 years...

Why? I have friends outside of work who I care a great deal about. I dont like most of the people I work with therefore Im not interested in their lives. Some people have lives outside of the office you know.
