Who Loves Their Job?

[XOKCowboy]

I think that I'm extremely lucky to have a job that I enjoy doing. I get to travel the world and get a lot of satisfaction for doing my job well. Am I in the minority?

1. Other

I like my job but don't love it. It's a job, not a career. And yes, you are lucky - so many people are stuck doing things they don't even like.

[Wcross]

2. I hate my job.

I hate every minute of every workday. The actual work doesn't bother me but the people in charge go out of their way to make peoples lives hell. I have taken to just being quiet, I just don't respond if a boss decides he is going to take out frustrations on me. (The Kava-Kava I take every morning seems to help)

3. I'd Have to Hit the Powerball Lottery to be happier !

6. other

i love my job (i'm a reporter) and i love what i write about, but i HATE the paper i work for

gannett can lick my ass

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. I'd be surprised to find a Gannett minion

who's happy with their employer.

But then, is it any different anywhere else in the industry?

[fizzgig]

11. i don't know

i really don't

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. I never worked for Gannett

except as a sports stringer a few eons ago, but I worked for newspapers long enough to know there aren't any good ones in terms of how they treat employees — just some that are less bad.

Maybe it'll get a little better if McClatchy buys Knight-Ridder. Then again, maybe it won't. And anyway, I don't see that deal happening.

13. How many times have they moved you

since you started working for the company?

My sympathies, kagehime. I've been where you are, and I admire you for doing a job that is misunderstood and under-appreciated. Welcome to DU. :hi:

17. they haven't moved me

but my boss basically told me i was shit day the other day, even though i have the hardest job in the building and i do a damn good job at it

4. I LOVED my job.

VP sales (started as salessperson) in an excellent staffing firm in downtown Chicago. Great bosses, great employees, superb clients, fab perks & pay, and the ability to employ many wonderful, fascinating temporary employees, whom we treated very well.

Then the co was sold. To idiots.

[XOKCowboy]

5. I feel for ya..

Went to work for a 4 person company led by a very cool, dynamic guy. He built it up to a million dollar+ company with dozens of employees and then sold it. To idiots. The idiots are smart enough to let our little part of their company run itself so far. When they start to ruin it I'll go freelance and keep doing what I do. I will miss the 5 week paid vacations though.

8. Happened to me, too.

Worked at a great family run company that was wonderful, until it was sold to a certain internet giant, who ruined it, i was fired, then sold it to another company.

sigh....

7. I'm A Teacher, What Can I Say?

I absolutely LOVE my job!:hug:

[tigereye]

9. the word love might be a little strong

I'm never bored, get paid pretty well, have a lot of flexibilty and I get to meet really neat people. But at times I feel it would be nice to do something else.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. Hate the crap out of it.

[Heidi]

14. I love my job. (nt)

[MissHoneychurch]

15. I love my job

I enjoy being a librarian and the position I am on is safe. The work is interesting (most of the time) and my co-workers and boss are great. I can't complain whatsoever. Ok the pay could be a wee better but other than that .... nope.

[B Calm]

18. The only job I could love would be, Managing the Family Fortune!

Since I didn't have a silver spoon handed down to me, I'll go to work each and every day to bring home a stinkin' little paycheck!

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Most days I really love my job! I make my own hours, pick the jobs

I want to do (unless it's a slow period) and get to see all of the cool things people do with their houses. It's like solving a puzzle when I go out and appraise. :hi:

[Left_Winger]

20. I love my job

I work in a field that interests me: foreign languages and history. I only work 190 days a year and am paid to take select students on tours to Europe every summer. I couldn't ask for anything more (professionally, that is). The only drawback is that I have a long commute to and from work, but I am currently working on eliminating that aspect (and the chances look good).

I also have the satisfaction of helping and watching young people learn and grow as a result of my efforts.

[Crazy Dave]

21. Paycheck

I don't even like the area I live in but nobody else in my field would even come close to my pay anymore. Been here doing what I do too long.

22. When ya don't like you're job its time to move on

or least try like hell to get out from under the situation you don't like, weather it be the job, a bullshit friend, marriage or what-ever.

Objective and subjective!
