Do you enjoy your Job?
 

I work at Sainsbury's and for the most part, I like it. Although there's been several occasions where I couldn't stand it and felt like quitting.

I enjoy working with the people I work with, the work itself is meh.

Mostly, that's not to say if I had a substantial cash injection from somewhere I wouldn't be handing in my notice asap

yes, love it

Most days I love it....some days (today) not so much.

No

I have to much money so don't need to work :cheer2::dance::cheer2:

really?! :amazed:

would help if people actually said what they do

I work at Sainsbury’s. What do you do and do you enjoy it?

Yep :cheer2:

I feel like the yes and no options are both a bit extreme in this poll :suspect:

Most of the time I like it and I'm grateful for the experiences it's given me and the people I've met through it but it's definitely got it's downsides

You sound like a prostitute??

I work in my bedroom how bout dat

:joker:

Work at Boots full time as a customer assistant (on a gap year before I head off to uni in September!). I enjoy it most of the time and love my colleagues, however (and it sounds a bit daft because I work in retail) but I do feel like I have a LOT asked of me compared to some of my other colleagues. There really isn’t enough hours in the day sometimes for me to complete everything asked of me.

I love my job

Prob because you are the new boy? Last one into the job generally gets put upon as the existing staff know how to swerve the horrible jobs

:joker:

It just seems unfair I have to stock monitor, get delivery in/put delivery out, date check, rebuild displays, put sales tickets out all while being mithered constantly by customers/having to jump on the till. Like you say maybe because I’m the new boy. I know some of the staff (especially one colleague) uses excuses such as dyslexia/anxiety to get out of doing some tasks (she’s lovely and I feel bad for calling her, but it just all seems a little too convenient. It seems an excuse so she can just stay on tills all day but get the same hourly rate as myself)

August-December yes
January-July no

Yes I love it. I'm a teaching assistant at a special needs school,some lovely kids with heartbreaking stories.

I hate my job. Cleaning up after like a thousand university students skid marks in the toilets at 6am is pretty rubbish. But it fits around my lifestyle and I'm home in an afternoon I like that part.

I recently moved to the behaviour school, and it's knackering but more rewarding (and entertaining!) than mainstream.

mmmm, its only for a year so just stick with it, but if it is really bothering you, you could ask your manager why the work isn't divvyed up a bit more fairly, sometimes if you are too good at your job it doesn't work in your favour unfortunately as you will just get loaded with more and more

Same.:blush:

This is why retail is ****

At the minute I hate it as I work 9am-10:30pm Monday to Friday with half an hour break at my desk for lunch. I also Commute on Monday meaning it’s more like 7am-10:30 that day. It’s exhuasting. I love the people I work with though and we’re all soldiering through feeling the same :love:

No

Being a mod is hard huh

Either a no or a sometimes. The people are ok, there's some funny times, and the work isn't too bad or too much or anything... But do I wake up and think "man I can't wait for work it's gonna be so much fun"? Heck no to put it lightly :joker: --- it just happens to be some fun/enjoyable at times but honestly a chore most of the time

I've yet to have a job I LOVED... and idk if I'll ever find something realistically job-related that I'll reeeeeeeally enjoy doing :worry: My current job is very passable though (admin assistant for a flooring business btw). I definitely don't hate it either. I need to start applying for positions I went to college for though. :laugh:

There are aspects that I think are better than other jobs such as;

- I very rarely have to interact (other than a couple of emails) with anyone senior to myself

- It's generally not a very difficult job

- I can just piss around on my phone because there's no one to tell me I can't :hee:

- Hours are relatively flexible (and I can pick n choose anyway, other than having to work Saturdays)


HOWEVER... the company is horrible, and I swear every member of senior management I've met is just plain thick, and they endlessly promote thick, rude arseholes into these positions.

Plus I actively despise the industry and think it treats vulnerable people like cash cows (if they have money to spend), or dirt (if they don't). So given that I'm actively involved in doing something that I think is straight-up immoral and makes me feel cheap and dirty... I'd have to firmly say that no, I don't enjoy it. It's a scummy job surrounded by scummy people that I fell into as a part-time job when we were desperate and ended up stuck there in management for now nearly 10 years.

I can't wait to get out and into something better paid AND socially responsible, and that SHOULD be pretty soon, touch wood :(

Your thread has upset me :bawling:.

i love my work

Retired?

i tried retirement for a few years and I didn't like it, not for me

I think I will love retirement :flutter: I agree it isn't for everyone Mr C loves his job I can't ever see him giving it up fully

Always worked at my pub and I always will. I absolutely bloody love slagging it off but I absolutely love being there.

And now she's an up and coming chef??

Love it.

Yeah I love it.

It’s tough sometimes but I think that’s a positive as it helps you grow.
