Are you Happy at you current job or is it time for a change.

[neilrmp]

I ask this because I have worked for many companies thru the years doing different things, but I am finally happy with what I am doing now, the pay is good, but all the benefits they offer is great, it is somewhere you can work until you retire.

[Sirius]

I love the flexibility of my job afforded by my boss which is most beneficial especially as I am close to finishing my BSc, and therefore still doing heavy study/coursework part time. The company can do better in the pay and HR departments, but the flexibility within my department and the invaluable experience I am getting keeps me happy, while living at home means I don't really need a big salary right at this point in time.

When I am done my BSc, what the company is willing to offer will guide me as to whether it would be time for a change at that point. For now, I'm satisfied enough to not look elsewhere.

[Solachica]

I luv my Job.
Its very flexible and I can basically plan my own weeks.
Its not a desk job and I go to an office maybe 5-6 times in a mth.

Wow Solachica, That's sounds like the perfect job.

[serenity]

Steups at all u happy ppl.
I was u just last year.
Now...now its complicated.
Am I happy? Sometimes. And to Sheppy and others with whom I vehemently disagreed that women in trini are restricted by a glass ceiling...I concede. It exists. Its solid. And its most loyal guards are *gasp* other women.
Time for a change? Not yet. Still have much to learn. And determined to put a crack in that blinking ceiling!

[sylvestter]

i'm relatively happy in my job. just HAD a big change. switched departments. what i'm doing now is fundamentally different, but i am really interested in the subject matter.

my biggest problem is the people around me, but you have to adapt to your surroundings i guess...

[dhal]

i love it but sometimes i come home mentally drained and i wonder if im strong enough to deal with some of the things i have to deal with....

[snowbird]

I am not just happy, I'm ecstatic; I love my current job, it's the best position I have ever held.

Compensation?........ all the hugs, kisses and I love yous I can handle

Fringe Benefits? ....... to be in involved with my subordinates on a daily basis

Management? ...... very agreeable and appreciative of whatever contributions I can make

Challenges? ........ coping with new methods like 'inside voice' and 'time outs'

Oh, did I mention my current job is Caregiver to my grandchildren? :lol:

Try not to let this affect the luv for your job.
few yrs ago I let a stupid supervisor affected me in tht I hated going to work to see him.
I worked past this and I try to not let people affect me in such a way again.

[syxxi-fux]

i wouldn't say that i love my job but i will say that 'i like my job.' there are people around me that pretends a lot. I don't let it get to me to the point where it affects my work :) It's just so funny the lengths ppl will go to throw you off track.

[sapodila]

I too have done many jobs in my short life. I am contented with where I am rite now. It's not the last job I will ever have, but I am contented ..... for now. I go out on the fields when the need requires me to do so, other wise I work a few hours per week from my home office. I enjoy the flexibility to do extracurricular activities with the children and family as a whole. Basically that's my bonus! :D

[lexbarker]

I am retired now but I must say that I loved last 2 jobs and I could not have worked with better people.

[Silky]

I love my job.
Gr8 hours. Holidays 3 times for d year. Good pay. Can't complain.
Yeah I have homework every day but knowing I'm making a difference in young people's lives definitely makes it worthwhile plus the kicks I get in a classroom sometimes....golden moments indeed.

[guyguy]

I love my job. It's a great experience standing at the bottom of the freeway exit with a sign around my neck saying; 'Will work for food." People doh have time fuh dat so dey give me ah couple of dollars or any change dey have in dey car. Ah get to enjoy de great outdoors, meet all kinda interestin people, get ah rell nice tan and doh have tuh answer to anybody. Sometimes ah does make 200-300/day. During Chrissmas, ah does average about 800/day. An it all tax free too. Ah never leavin dis job nah and ah doh tink ah go retire eidder.

Yuh want workers or wha? :)

[Beetle]

I am happy with my job, it has some challenges, but nothing to make me want to change.

[Mivo]

I had several jobs in the past, I love what I do now and not ready to change. Change is good eh

[brag]

Before I retired, I always loved my job even when I hated myself for not always making myself well understood. I always thought I was the most misunderstood person. That was the hardest part of the job for me. Some would say I was not the easiest person to get along with.

My bosses and I would often get into the worst fights, but I loved convincing them also to see things my way. They all respected my work and my commitment to it. I had no fear of losing my job which did not pay well, but in which environment I grew to love serving people and promoting personal development.

I never sought a promotion in the workplace, but always moved up because of my dedication to my work, and also with an eye for making the workplace more worker friendly by working to change the system from within.

Considering that I am the CEO of Unemployment Inc...I am not so happy. :cry:

I go to school, work my arse off, get 3 different registries (Guy, I just made OB this last weekend), and worked hard to learn as much as possible, there are not many jobs in this area. The solution in my field is to move, problem is my child is in a split college/high school program and I can't move her. I wanted to work 3/12 hr days or 2/16 hour days...for those they want people with extensive experience. So what do I do? Pray that a job will come open soon. I don't have debt from school or I would be up the creek without a paddle. I applied for a Bachelor's program for healthcare management and teaching related to my field of work and will be starting that in the fall. Until then, I mow and fix things around the house and post on websites. :(

Hmmm, I wondered why you were so brown. It does explain the tattered clothes and rather strong odor. :?

[Beetle]

I vehemently disagreed that women in trini are restricted by a glass ceiling...I concede. It exists. Its solid

That "glass ceiling" should have been made of concrete. Women cannot keep they emotions out of anything including work, and that is the problem, why should hard working men who trying to get the job done have to put up with that nonsense, and then from the point of view of employers - every 28 days productivity have to drop and everybody in the office have to be walking on eggshells because of PMS.

At least I brave enough to say it, but everybody know what I wrote above is true.

I totally agree yes.
Why have women around at all?
They should be relegated to the backroom of the house where cooking and childrearing is done with minimal talking.
They should only be allowed in workplaces after-hours to QUIETLY tidy up the offices.
All this emotion and drama really gets us nowhere.

[guyguy]

(Guy, I just made OB this last weekend) WOW!!! Congrats. Don't worry. Your time will come soon enough. I'm so proud and happy.
Hmmm, I wondered why you were so brown. It does explain the tattered clothes and rather strong odor. :? That odor my dear is unique in all the world. It's called "Eau de Latrine."

Glad you see my point.

[Jenny]

Yes, I am happy with my current job. Everything about it suits me fine as I compare it to my last job, where I realised the balance between an excellent salary and personal time.
I am doing something I enjoy and working with a great minds in the field. I love being around them and learning from them.

[Chicabonita]

I am a full time mom and love it, I don't think I could change the job even if I wanted it. :lol:

[Roo]

Thanks Guy!

As for a glass ceiling...I'm not really sure...I think some people self limit in their own minds. Nothing stops me...I am as driven as driven gets. In my field, if anything there is a glass ceiling for males, not women.

[serenity]

When u are given work that keeps u tied to a desk as opposed to your male colleagues who get the files that take them 'out there' gaining experience and recognition in the field that u have specifically expressed interest in, there is a problem. Esp when the reason expressed for the disparity is an unspoken policy that the men are given this type of work bec they tend to prefer it. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Hear what, we all have the same qualifications. I came for a specific experience that I could only get here. How the hell u could tell me guys tend to want the action so they get those files. I tell u I happy to be a paper-pusher? I made myself abundantly clear of my expectations at the interviewing stage and was assured there will be lots of what I expressed interest in.

Imagine my shock and disgust to realise this archaic nonsense is alive and well. Apparently I am to be sheltered from the big bad world bec I'm a girl. The irony? The nature of my job involves fighting against discrimination in the businessworld.

[Gdip16]

I like my job but can never stick to the same job for long periods of time, in my short life the most I've ever stayed in a job was 2 years, then I need new challenges to keep me interested...

I love doing my research which I get paid for...unfortunately that doesn't pay enough to survive at the moment!!

Lucky you Chicabonita, have been told that's the best job in the world!! :D

I wouldn't take this job for all the tea in China. Any other job is a cakewalk compared to this.

I think its the job satisfaction that goes with it...My mother told me today that she was always happiest when she was with her children...
