Do you enjoy your job and the people you work with?

i don't enjoy my job but i can get lost in it sometimes taking so many calls and helping so many people. i think us bankers need to be paid more coz we do more than the bankers do at the branches but we get our pay from the 3rd party we are contracted into and the company that we a contracted into takes a portion of what they get paid to pay us so we only get 11 an hour. we can make bonuses but it's hard and it's not all the time we can get a bonus.

I LOVE my job!  I recently got a promotion.  I have been in the hotel business for a lot of years now; but, now I am the new Sales Director!  I am now off every week end, and mainly work 9-5 in my own office!  It is GREAT!!!

I did enjoy my job but the company has downsized and sent many jobs overseas including mine.  At my age now not many companies are hiring so doing more volunteering and networking.  Will keep applying and hope the phone rings.

I have had much worse. I owned and oversaw four corporations with roughly forty people. A large part of the corporations revolved around sales and after thirty years I kind of burned out on people, in general, and the market tanked. I took a third shift position for 6 years, hoping the market would rebound for my daytime corporations, and was killed on a daily basis both physically and mentally. I was able to rummage up more business than most in my industry but burned out in the process. I eventually shifted over to underwriting and analysis/investigation work and thoroughly enjoy not dealing with humans. I am glued to a computer for eighty hours a week between two jobs for less than half of what I use to make but am completely happy doing so.

the job i had was alright. generally it is the people at jobs that ruin it for me i guess i live in an area where gossip is brutal if you make one mistake.  people in this area are very unforgiving. but this isnt my or my spouses hometown either.. we both just tried to keep our heads down and not attract attention to ourselves when we worked.
we would like to move from this area but we just moved here a few years ago, so moving isnt much of an option.

My brief jobs at gamestop were pretty cool once I figured I was in charge of checklists.

I just got a new job in May as a cashier. It took some time for me to learn the job and now they are training me in the floral department as well. I like it okay, but the amount of new things I have to learn is a little overwhelming.  :confused1:

I do like the people here, though, and the managers are all very helpful and nice. :star:

Bonus is I make more money than staying retired. Oooh rah!  :rainbow:

My job is pretty good. It's a cake job, and pays well, and my coworker is great. It gets boring sometimes, though ,and the most frustrating thing is management constantly making poor decisions, just to make the job more inefficient. But I know I wouldn't be able to find another job that paid so much for such easy work.

I don't hate it.  I like my coworkers for the most part there are only a few I don't like working with.
