re: Does anyone here genuinely like their work?

Is there such thing as the grass being greener on the other side or do you find yourself just as miserable 3 months into the new job?

Yep, you just have to be very very diligent and find a company that fits with you well.

I left the O&G industry for the water/wastewater industry and couldn't be happier.

Sounds like you have lots of job security

I genuinely love my job. When you build people their dream homes they tend to be overly nice and very rational about things that literally do not matter. I still haven’t figured it out what makes people so grateful and happy when you’re building their house.

I don't love it but I do like it. If I were to win Powerball I'd think seriously about working a reduced schedule (30 hours/wk or so) and a month off once a year, but wouldn't want to quit entirely. Fortunately I could probably convince my employer to let me do it due to the nature of what I do.

I mean I’d retire tomorrow, but I get paid well, my opinion is valued, and I work in an air conditioned office. So, it’s fine. I never wake up and dread my day. I’ll take it.

I don't hate my job and 99% of the time I don't wake up dreading going to work. That's good enough for me I guess. Not hating your job is kind of the same as liking it

I genuinely loved teaching in the inner city with kindergartners and first graders. also taught at a wonderful Catholic school but my students didn't really need me like my poor kids did.

But it finally came having older aggressive kids assaulting us and the school board saying we would be fired and arrested if a kid hit us and we tried to defend ourselves by shielding ourselves.We were told to put our hands in the air to show we weren't hurting the poor little attacker.

Car was also broken into 3 times in 3 months. It was too much. Too much danger and non-stop bs from the admins. At a school with 5 teachers out after brutal attacks, not one single child was every suspended or expelled, since that would lower our schools state score.

Forgive any odd typos or words. Kindle is the worst to type on.

I love my current job. The job I had before that as a peds nurse....I was facing serious nursing burnout with it. Management was making us take on more and more patients with less help. To the point that the safety of our pediatric patients could have been jeopardized. I couldn't take it anymore so I left.


Now...I really love my job. Always something different. I will run into my former coworkers(I still work in the same hospital) and they will tell me how horrible it still is to work on that floor and that I am very lucky to have gotten out when I did.

Other things in my life are pretty crappy right now, but not my job. Very thankful for that right now.
