Do you like your job?
Quote:
Most people in Britain are happy with their lot at work, according to new research.
In a survey of 1,000 people of working age two thirds said they were either satisfied or very satisfied, according to The Work Foundation.
But it estimated that 15% of the working population - or four million workers - are dissatisfied.

So......do you like/love/hate your job? I thought we'd have a CF poll to see if it matches the BBC one.
As many votes as poss please!

Re: Do you like your job?
I like my new job, but I've only being doing it for a month 
My last job was alright - when me and homealone spoke about it, I always said that the job was fine, it was just the psycho manager and political BS that made it a nightmare

Re: Do you like your job?
There are times when I hate my job, but then I remember that I'd hate any other jobs even more, so it's a bit difficult to select any option in the poll!

Re: Do you like your job?
I really hate my Job, I would like it a lot more if my managers would pull thier fingers out and actually change my shifts wich I have been trying to get changed for the last 3 years.
Basicly I work evenings, 3pm - 8pm average, since im not at college and I dont have kids I dont really need the daytime, most of my life goes on in the evening (Or at least it used to before I got this job), I also find it quite irritating that I only work about 4 hrs a day for five days a week. Since they wont give me more hours im trying to have my current hours condensed into three working days of about 6 hrs.
BAsicly my job doesnt annoy me much, though my hours do.

Re: Do you like your job?
The job's okay, but I believe it's important to work to live rather than to live to work. Some people here do my head in. Would rather do less hours than I do, and if my Lotto numbers came up then they'd never see me again.

Re: Do you like your job?
I like my job at The Wave - actually, I LOVE it. But my job at the DVLA, that sucks big time, not helped by some people phoning up who, shall we say, are "a little slow on the uptake".

Re: Do you like your job?
I like driving, fixing things, meeting all types of people and answering to no one except the wife and the taxman.
Yes, I love my job, that said six numbers in the right order may change my perspective.

Re: Do you like your job?
I love my job
I get to work from home if I wish, and as long as I get the work done, and keep my customers happy, I can just crack on as I wish...
Oh and I get to have heavy technical discussion, but without having to actually do any of the hands on stuff (unless I feel like it).
Oh - and the pay is pretty good too
