Do you like your job ?
« Reply #30 on: August 08, 2002, 07:26:46 PM »
I thought I was the only one with the weird fascination of catching fish with a hand net . Helps if you have a helper or two to heard them around .
I've never liked my job, way too confrontational . If it weren't for taking and giving bellybutton chewings and trying to reason with hostile invalids it probably wouldn't be so bad . But if I liked it wouldn't be work .

I like my job, but my bosses have their heads up their collective butts.  There is no way to move up.  I work with some good people but for for some crappy ones.  I have had only 1 manager in 14 years who was worth a crap.

Stuck in the same old boring, unchallenging career for 12 years, I eagerly await to 'wow' some stuffy hardened company manager at a new job interview with this masterful insight.

Hmm

I really like my new job

Overnights are nice because I can work 3 days a week and still have 30 hours, and with the best pay i've ever had i'm living pretty well at this point

However what bums me out is the knowledge that I have to move on with school and get off this rock because if i dont soon i'll be stuck here forever. I hate seeing people from my hs graduating class caught with stupid jobs and no lives here.

So, yeah, i like it, but soon its gonna be time to leave it and i know i'll regret doing so

Use to love it...now I'm not so sure. I work w/guys who are "over" me ie have a higher rating/pay yet come to me about every damn piece of equipment we have it seems like. Yet for some reason I havent been promoted and I dont see a promo coming this year ethier.

 I've decided that if no promo this review I'm going back to school and branch into the Cisco area of telecom. Right now I deal w/PBX's (NEAX2400 mostly ICS's), Titian 5500 DACS, I'm the guy for our Ericsson 800MHZ IMC as well. Hell, I also do cat v wiring and normal phone work as well. T1's,DS-3's, OC-3's various fiber equipment...bla.blablablabla.

 I've already expressed my displeasure to my boss and his boss... they SAY they think I'm a great asset to the company and dept, lol. I told them this "asset" wont be around forever w/out more money.

 Time will tell....

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Hey I work in the power industry and can't say enough about the great people I work with.  They are so cool.  Especially this one chap name Cogen (AH handle) he makes my job so easy.:p

I live in God's country, money is good, get 7 days off in a row every month.  I actually end up working about 17 days out of every month.

The management is great.  I make suggestions and they let me run with them.  My boss The Oarsman just gave me a 6 digit bonus $$$$$$.

There are no customer complaints, no court cases, just electrons metering down the line to your home so you can play AH.

Oh! that's where the bonus came from.:D

Actually guys & gals we are still reaping the harvest of $500/MW that California signed for last year.  Wahooooooo!

I love Gray Davis; the current and hopefully the next Great Governor of California.  Keep rocking those prices Gray we love you man.

LOL (Lot's of Love)

Welcome to the future. Anyone getting out of college or high school today believing their education is over is in for a rude shock...

I don't know whether I love or hate mine at times. Me, my dad, and brother are partners in an autobody repair business. We've got 10 employees and stay real busy.
Dad just turned 60 and is a control freak from down there with Mr. lucipher. He just recently stopped chewing tobacco (which he picked up after quitting smoking 15 yrs ago). His physiological makeup just isn't the same without 'baccy in his blood. He can be a psychotic nutcase when he wants to be. Of course he's not one in front of anyone other than my bro and I. I guess he thinks it's ok to be a nut in front of family. I try to be a good son and put up with a lot of it and bite my tongue but recently decided I was done with that. When he gets to being a blow hard know-it-all, I just tell him that that's what he's being. He then starts telling me how he doesn't need to hear all that. That's when I just walk off and leave him jabbering and red faced. Speaking your mind after not doing it for years really feels good. Especially when you know you're right.

My job pays good, but I've got a family of 5 so the money gets burned fast. We've got a company 401k going now so I should have a good retirement. Me and the wife limp along between draws from the company ;). Dad just bought a big motor home so maybe he'll go on some vacations and relax and get out of our hair.

All in all, I can't really complain. It could be much worse for me.
