are you happy with your job

TruN · October 2012

Meaning lately I've been feeling ineed much more money for two kids. My benefit are great but the pay sucks. I've been at my job now for three and half years and it's tiering. But I look at the bright side and say at the end of the day it gets me and my DDs far and I guess I should just be thankful I have a job and able to support me and my babies :

I love my job. Teaching is a great and rewarding profession. I hate my boss and her stupidity and want a different position at a different school.

I don't mind my job but I certainly don't like being here everyday. And I cannot stand my boss. She is AWFUL to work for. I am done here in January and I cannot wait to start my new career!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmm...There are aspects of it I definitely don't enjoy...but I'm lucky to work with some really nice and supportive people...not all, but the ones that count are. I hate my commute...but the pay is good, the benefits are free, and it is stability when I really needed some coming off of an over year long layoff.

I absolutely LOVE my job but HATE one of my coworkers! It makes it diificult to come to the office. My boss has asked many times if I'm coming back and I am, however this particular person could make me change my mind.

I am not happy with my job or my boss. I'm underemployed on purpose to have less stress in my life, but I don't like my hours and I plan on looking for something outside the industry I currently work in.

Not at the moment. Over the summer I turned down a job that was 6 miles away vs my current 30 mile commute. I don't think I would have liked the daily work as much, but I'm still kicking myself every time I'm stuck in traffic. Plus, it would have been really flexible for when DD starts school. Ugh.

Some days are good, some days are not so good, and some days I dread coming in, but overall it's not bad. I generally enjoy what I do, and I'm paid fairly well for it. We wouldn't be living as well as we do if I didn't work this job. Trying to hold that perspective in my mind helps me get through the crummy days. And like you, I'm thankful that I have a job in this particular economy. Of course, that's not to say you can't go looking for a better one! There might be one out there.

I disliked my job prior to having LO (especially during the last trimester of my difficult pregnancy!), but my perspective has changed completely since her arrival.

I'm a veterinarian in a busy corporate practice in a semi-rural area. Before LO arrived, I was overwhelmed by how stressful/hectic my days were and constantly frustrated by clients who were unwilling to provide high-quality care for their pets. Since having LO, though, I've found that its much easier to keep my work stress in perspective... ie. "it's just a job and I can't care more than the clients do." I'm also now much more grateful for my excellent benefits, FMLA leave, good pay, 10-minute commute, and 4 day/wk schedule! Although pregnancy was a rocky time for me & my job, I'm now glad that I stuck it out and definitely have no intentions of searching elsewhere for a long while!

Love my job hate the company but there aren't really a ton of research agronomist jobs in the area so I will stay put and try to ignore the politics.

I love HR but don't like working in a law firm. Some people are nice and the flexibility I have here is amazing but overall I'd rather work somewhere else. The commute also stinks, I want something closer to home!

Overall, I am happy with the military. I'm good at what I do, I love (a few) of my co-workers, and of course the steady pay and benefits that come along with it. It's a cushion for me and I'm thankful to be able to contribute to my household and support my son. Like any other jobs there are cons, except mine happen to be there's a chance I may deploy or get moved to another base at any time. I just have to be mentally prepared for when that day comes.

I love the company I work for and the people I work with, however I want out of my field. I am in IT/Sys Admin.

I love my job. I work in a retail pharmacy so there are some frustrating points about it, but everyone I work with is awesome and we have a solid team with very little to no drama. My commute is 10 minutes from home, and I can go grocery shopping after I get off work and get a discount. My last job I hated because of the working conditions, and my commute was an hour one way.
