Stacy 0 #26 July 29, 2004 My job pretty much sucks right now. I get paid in a sum that is worth more in cans of refried beans. My boss can't make decisions at all and can't organize his office, much less a department. I love my co workers, that's about it. The actual job is rewarding, but the surroundings aren't. If luck is with me I'll get to give my notice at the end of the week, pack up, and move on to bigger and better things... __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaoskitty 0 #28 July 29, 2004 Theres nothing wrong with my job except that I am not challenged *at all*. I have three managers above me and therefore no decision-making authority, although I'm the one communicating with our clients. However, I work 11am to 7pm and make $400 per month on top of my salary for working this shift. Its low stress (due to lack of authority and challenge). I've never been in a job where I did not advance in to management exceptionally fast. I dont see that happening here. I dont like being stuck in a cube all day either. I just applied for a position in software implementations (as opposed to analysis.. what I do now), and I would be on the road 80% of the time. I am hoping for an interview because that would fit me to a tee. So I guess.. I'm tired of being bored, but I cant complain because I make good money. But if I get this other position, I would be much more inspired and I would be making even better money. Keep your fingers crossed for me! So yah theres the long answer to your short question.

Cajundude 0 #29 July 29, 2004 I actually can't stand my job. I'm to the point now where all I do is go to work and play on the internet all day. We are moving our office Friday back to the building we were at when I first started working for my employer 8.5 years ago (up on the 70th floor, we were on 65 before). I think it is the beginning of the end. It would be a good time to make a move I guess. Money is good but I am not happy in the least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SLIDER 0 #47 July 29, 2004 I used to really like my job,but I have been doing it for a long time and not as fun as it used to be. I have a management position and I don't work very hard, it just pays so damn good I don't really want to leave.

JVig 0 #48 July 29, 2004 I love my patients,(well, most of them) but my job sucks small hairy ones! Somedays I think I just may combust out of sheer boredom. I have reached my ceiling so the only move is horizontal, which leaves me sooo uninspired! I have been thinking of taking side trips next year to donate my skills on missionary excursions to third world countries....I am in the dental field. At least I'll be doing something needed and meaningful. Another option is to find a field where not many people have thought of entering ....thus giving me room to grow. Any suggestions??? -------------------------------------------------- Just remember.....if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peregrinerose 0 #50 July 29, 2004 I can't imagine a more rewarding job than the one I have. I took a huge (25K/year) pay cut to switch to this office, but I'm glad I did. It's more rewarding, patients appreciative of what I do, far more medical care involved than before, and I can honestly say I've saved 3 lives in the last month alone. Plus helped many legally blind individuals learn to see again. I drive 1.5 h to get to work and back, but it's worth it. Plus my new job is 15 mins from the DZ :-) Only bad part is that I payed 125K in tuition alone to get my graduate degree, and am now paying most of my income to student loans. In 5 years I'll be a happy girl, but right now I'm kissing 2K a month goodbye. Jen Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
